Azera: Despite the growing number of upper-range Hyundai sedans, expect a redesigned Azera--known as the Grandeur in Korea--to remain slotted between the Sonata and the Genesis. It will arrive in the spring of 2012. The engine will be either a 3.3- liter or a 3.6-liter V6. The front-drive Azera and rear-drive Genesis have close to the same footprint, but Hyundai executives say the two cars will attract different customers. The Genesis is a few inches longer and costs $7,000 more than the current Azera, but expect the next Azera to move upscale.
Genesis: Next spring the V8 in the Genesis sedan and coupe will be replaced with the same 5.0-liter V8 planned for the Equus.
Equus: The 203.1-inch-long flagship sedan, priced at about $60,000, will debut this fall with a 385-hp, 4.6-liter V8 teamed with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Next spring a direct-injection 5.0-liter V8 with 429 hp and 376 pounds-feet of torque will replace the 4.6-liter V8. The Equus will be sold in standard and long-wheelbase versions. Expect the usual electronic and safety features found on a luxury car of this caliber, such as cooled massaging leather seats, pre-collision systems, adaptive air suspension and parking cameras.
