2012 Hyundai Azera (Pictures Inside)

[John M]

How does this fit price-wise into their current lineup? I thought the Azera was discontinued because the Sonata and Genesis filled its niche. A loaded Sonata or base Genesis really leaves the Azera in no-man's land.

The Azera will compete with other entry level full size FWD luxury cars. Toyota Avalon, Buick Lacrosse, Ford Taurus, Lexus ES350. You know, cars your granny would buy.

The Azera was never discontinued, it just seems to not be heavily promoted. New one is a sweet looker. Should do well against the GM Epsilons if they start to advertise it.

Style preference is really just personal preference. I think the nee Azera is elegant and will easily become the class leader for the near luxury entry level market. The interior design is contemporary and personally I would like to see some of the edge cutting influence of the dash carried over to the Genesis and Equus.

Lexus ES what????

I don't see any granny style on the new Azera. The interior is modern / cutting edge, so much that it makes the Genesis interior look like a Grand Pa's car. Long live the flat iron board dashboards, welcome the new stylish dynamic designs.

Hyundai has been real quite on this one. I dont see anything about this on there website. They are all over the news about the Volster.

I think my wife will want the Azera when this comes out. She was interested in the Sonata but wants something different now. This new design blows the old plain ones away in my opinion. The LED accents are fierce.

I was researching 2012 Genesis and happened to stumble on to this. This car is named "Grandeur" in Korea.

Also there is 2012 Azera configurator Survey site.

Something like this would be a good option for me who lives in long winter season area if Genesis doesn't come out with AWD option.
