Is Hyundai‘s new Azera really worth a spot on our Top 10 list? Sure we could fill another spot with the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible (cool, but just a drop-top version of the coupe we’ve already seen), or the C-X16 Concept (amazing in every way, but we already saw it in Frankfurt). That said, the Azera impresses most for how far it’s come, with the previous generation an entirely forgettable car. Slotting in above the Sonata (and looking a lot like a larger version of that car), and below the Genesis sedan, it’s a luxurious and large front-driver powered by a 3.3-liter V6 with 293-hp, offering a best-in-class power to weight ratio as well as top-notch fuel economy with a 20/29-mpg rating.
With a lengthy list of standard features that includes leather, heated front and rear seats and a 7-inch display screen with a back up camera and navigation, the top-line Tech Package adds features straight out of no-nonsense luxury cars, like a panorama roof, vented seats, a power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, not to mention a power rear sunshade and manual side sunshades in the back seat.
