Refreshed 2011 Azera Boasting Improved Fuel Economy, More Horsepower and Lethal Emissions
The 2011 Hyundai Azera adds power and efficiency to a model known for its luxurious appointments. The updated large sedan now includes an advanced six-speed automatic transmission and other powertrain refinements raising the bar on fuel economy in its class, while still gaining horsepower. The 2011 Azera will be available at Hyundai dealerships in spring 2010.
New for 2011:
* Choice of 3.3-liter or 3.8-liter DOHC Lambda V6 engine with improved power and fuel economy
* Estimated fuel economy of 20 mpg city / 28 mpg highway with 3.3-liter engine
* Estimated fuel economy of 19 mpg city / 27 mpg highway with 3.8-liter engine
* All-new, in-house six-speed automatic transmission
Exterior upgrades
* Headlights, tail lights and fog lights
* Bumper fascias, side mirrors and window trim
* Trunk lid and grille
* Alloy wheels
* Interior refinements
* Center console aluminum graining
* “Eco Indicator”
* “EZ Lane Change Assist” – one touch triple turn signal
All of these upgrades help illustrate why more and more customers are discovering how well Azera stacks up against the competition. Overall, the 2011 Azera is a strong competitor to vehicles like the Lexus ES350, Toyota Avalon, Nissan Maxima, Buick LaCrosse and Ford Taurus. Spacious and luxurious, the Azera features more interior volume than expensive luxury sedans such as the Mercedes Benz E-Class, BMW 750i and Lexus LS 460. Both Azera powertrains still offer more standard horsepower than the BMW 528i demonstrating that Azera is one of the smartest premium large-sedan choices available in the American market today.
