Los Angeles Auto Show Debut: Another Entry-Luxury Ride From Hyundai

The second-generation Hyundai Azera will be hitting the showrooms next year. The redesigned Azera will include such features as an optional panoramic sunroof, which allows more natural light into the cabin and 3D Carbon interior accents.

Other unexpected luxury appointments include an electrochromic auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink® and power rear sunshade and manual rear side window shades. The side shades can be inconspicuously tucked away when not in use and no other car in the segment offers them.
Seats are extremely important in this segment. The 2012 Azera offers first class seating assignments for all passengers. Leather seating surfaces are standard. A ten-way power driver and eight-way front passenger’s seats are standard equipment. The driver’s seat has an optional cushion extension and an integrated memory system for the seat, steering wheel and side mirrors. Azera’s climate and seat temperature controls keep occupants in total comfort.

Pricing hasn't been announced as of yet. However, we know it will be competitive.
