WORTH THE WAIT? HYUNDAI AZERA

Even though this car isn't popular worldwide as it is on its home market, Hyundai released a refresh of their second flagship sedan, the Grandeur, also called the Azera worldwide. Like all of the other models, the Azera follows the 'Fluidic Sculpture' design. Therefore, the car is eqipped with LED lights, and looks way better than the predecessor. Not only that, the Lambda 3.3-liter V-6 gains the now-well-known direct injection, boosting power from 260 to 293 hp and 233 to 255 lb-ft, and getting 1 mpg better as well. The car comes with luxuries like leather (all Azera models get leather), navigation, a rearview camera, heated front and rear seats, Bluetooth connectivity and Blue Link telematics, nine airbags, 10-way driver/eight-way passenger power seats, proximity key unlocking and starting, LED stop/turn/side-repeater lamps, dual climate control with rear-seat air vents, and 18-inch aluminum wheels. If you select the tech package and you'll get a panorama sunroof, 19 inch alloy wheels, xenon headlamps, front and rear parking sensors, power rear-window and manual rear side glass sunshades, power for the tilt/telescoping wheel, an Infiniti Logic 7 12-speaker sound system with HD radio, and front-seat cushion extenders. Another thing that is a unique standard option is the SACHS damping suspension, which is used in other luxury vehicle companies like Lexus, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and so more. This car should compare well with cars like the Toyota Avalon, Buick LaCrosse, Nissan Maxima, and Ford Taurus. Expect a $32,000 starting price.
