The 2016 Hyundai Azera is a respectable large sedan with lots of standard features, but it's less athletic than many rivals and doesn't have the smoothest ride.
The 2016 Hyundai Azera's #6 ranking is based on its score within the 2016 Affordable Large Cars category. Currently the Hyundai Azera has a score of 8.2 out of 10, which is based on our evaluation of 35 pieces of research and data elements using various sources.
Yes, the 2016 Hyundai Azera is a good used car. It has an array of standard features, decent gas mileage, and – like many sedans – solid crash test and reliability ratings.
The Hyundai Azera features a 3.3-liter V6 engine that puts out 293 horsepower. It's mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. Like most other cars in this class, there's no manual transmission offered. There's plenty of power for city and highway driving. The front-wheel-drive Azera has mediocre handling, and it's less agile than rivals. The ride is fine over smooth pavement, but it gets rough over uneven roads. The Azera gets 20 mpg in the city and 28 mpg on the highway, which is average fuel economy for a large car.

A panoramic sunroof is available. The infotainment system has user-friendly redundant physical buttons, meaning you won't have to use the touch screen all the time.
