Hyundai Motor America debuted its 2012 Azera sedan at the Los Angeles Auto Show. It fits in between the midsize and the full-size car segments. The new Azera is equipped with a 3.3-liter Lambda II engine and six-speed automatic transmission. It produces 293 horsepower and combined fuel economy of 23 mpg. The new model includes nine standard airbags, 18-inch alloy wheels, Xenon headlights with LED accents. It features a navigation system and rearview camera standard on all models.
Hyundai had the fourth press conference during the first day of the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show. It took place in front of the automaker's display inside the L.A. Convention Center's South Hall.
"The new Azera means new thinking and new possibilities to the midsize segment," said John Krafcik, CEO of Hyundai Motor America. "It's roomy, comfortable, safe and powerful. We give our owners the peace of mind of Hyundai Assurance, the industry's best warranty, the industry's only trade-in value guarantee and 24/7 roadside assistance. This is what our customers have come to expect from Hyundai."
Other standard features of the Azera include leather interior with heated front and rear seats, the Blue Link telematics platform and manual side window sunshades. It also comes with a Bluetooth hands-free phone system and ventilated front seats. Three months of XM Satellite Radio is included.
"Two years ago here at the L.A. Auto Show, the all-new Sonata and Tucson ushered in a new era of Hyundai design," said Michael O'Brien, vice president of corporate and product planning for Hyundai Motor America. "Inside, Azera combines modern elegance, craftsmanship and lots of space. Azera provides more total interior volume than Avalon. Azera also includes standard features not available from its competitors."
