TO THE POINT What’s New? The Azera is an all new model for 2006, serving as the replacement for Hyundai’s outgoing flagship, the XG350.
Selling Points: Gorgeous styling, a powerful engine, a long list of safety and comfort features, Hyundai’s 100,000-mile powertrain warranty
Deal Breakers: Topping out at near $30,000, the Azera may be priced higher than buyers are willing to pay for a Hyundai.
Our Advice: Commuters will like the styling, comfort, and standard safety features, but driving enthusiasts will be left wanting for a more responsive machine.
