Almost large, almost luxury: 2015 Hyundai Azera Limited review notes - Autoweek
Hyundai knows its sedan market, and caters to it well. Anyone who still thinks Hyundai is about cheap wheels needs to drive this. You have to rev it a wee bit to get the car moving (it ain’t exactly light) but there is plenty of power and it’s, dare I say it, Honda smooth. Love the glass roof, too and the light blue ambient lighting peeking from under the dash/door panels is sweet. Clearly Hyundai sweated the details in there. If you’re in the market for an Avalon or Impala (or Chrysler 300 or Buick LaCrosse , I suppose) you’re cheating yourself if you don’t at least try the Azera. I submit Hyundai’s credibility is rising -- and fast. EDITOR MARK VAUGHN: I put over 1,000 miles on this stylin’ sedan during the week I had it. That ranged from the flat, boring I5 highway up the Central Valley to 50 miles of twisting mountain two-lanes and maybe a hundred miles of less-twisting... I can say, thank goodness I had this car scheduled during what I’ll call “The week of so much driving. ” The Azera is the poster child for the near-luxury segment, the Toyota Avalon of Korea, the Buick Regal of the Gangnam District.
