For 2011, the Hyundai Azera receives extensive upgrades starting with LED accent lights and taillights as well as refreshed grille. Collected in two trim levels, the GLS and Limited, 2011 Hyundai Azera sedans both include cruise control, remote keyless entry, HomeLink transceiver and electronic stability control as standard features.

Through full usage of dual continuously variable valve timing and a new intake, the 2011 Azera GLS' 3.3 liter V-6 engine pumps out 260 horsepower with the Limited trim 3.8 liter V-6 now produces 283 horsepower. While horsepower rose, the engines demonstrate better fuel economy achieving 24 miles per gallon with the 3.3 liter and 23 miles when the 2011 Hyundai Azera Limited is equipped the 3.8 liter V-6. Compared to 2010, fuel mileage is roughly improved by 2 miles through both 2011 Azera engines.

Benefits of Driving a 2011 Hyundai Azera Sedan

As a full-sized luxury sedan, the 2011 Hyundai Azera faces stiff competition from the Toyota Avalon and Nissan Maxima. The Azera outshines them in terms of interior volume, and even with added power, refinement, and fuel efficiency from both available V6s, it is still priced at less than $25,000.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.
