5 reasons to buy the 2017 Hyundai Azera

1. Interior comfort 

Sink into the plush leather seats and enjoy the spacious, five-passenger cabin, perfect for long road trips or daily commutes. Whether you're driving to the office or carpooling with friends, the Azera's roomy interior provides ample space to stretch out and relax. With generous legroom in both the front (45.5 inches) and rear (36.8 inches) seats, everyone can ride in comfort. The best part? The 2017 Azera’s standard trim includes heated front and rear seats, too. 

2. Loaded with features  

The 2017 Azera may only offer two trims, but don't let that fool you—it's jam-packed with features. Even the base model is a treasure trove of amenities. It includes an eight-inch touchscreen display with navigation, a rearview camera, power-folding side mirrors, a hands-free smart trunk, a 14-speaker sound system with Bluetooth® connectivity, as well as Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration.  

3. Spacious trunk 

Need ample cargo space without the hassle? Measuring up to 16.3 cu-ft, the 2017 Azera's got you covered. From loading up groceries to luggage for a weekend getaway or gear for a road trip, there's space to spare. Plus, with the hands-free smart trunk feature, accessing all that space is easier than ever. Simply approach the trunk with the proximity key in your pocket or purse, and it opens automatically, no fumbling required. 

4. Smooth ride 

While the Azera might not be chasing after the title of a sports sedan, it excels where it matters—delivering a refined ride with a quiet cabin. Whether you're navigating the freeway on your daily commute or running errands around town, the Azera shines with its smooth cruising capabilities. Powered by a robust 293-hp V6 engine, you can count on this sedan to deliver ample power when it’s needed.  

5. Take it up a notch with the Limited trim  

The Limited trim of the 2017 Azera is all about luxury and style. It takes everything great about the base model and adds some extra flair. Inside, you'll find the same great plush leather seats plus classy woodgrain accents that give off a luxury feel and a panoramic sunroof. On the outside, the Limited trim gets 19-inch wheels in place of the standard 18-inch alloys and high-intensity xenon headlights.
