Azera VS Avalon VS ES350
My family owns 2 other Toyota. I did not even consider a Hyundai when I first started looking into purchasing a new car for the family. But I did tons and tons of research reading online review sites as well as forums. We decided to test the Lexus ES350, Toyota Avalon, and the Hyundai Azera(we never considered an american car). The Azera turned out to be quite a suprise. It is a extremely good car even without considering the low price or long warranty that Hyundai is known for. If you factor in the fact that a similarly equipped Avalon is 5K above the price of an Azera, we picked the Azera without hesitation. I am now an extremely satisfied owner of a Hyundai Azera.
Loving It
Can't say enough about my 07 Azera Limited with Ultimate package. Unbelievable in terrible snow storm (Denver blizzard). My mileage, with regular unleaded, has been in the 23-24 range around town. (about (2K so far). Great power, very quiet, love the power side folding mirrors for my garage. MANY luxury features. Its getting comments like "very swanky" from the parking valets. My only regret is that Hyundai had not yet started started delivery of Azera/s with XM radio at the time I got mine. I understand the ones produced after the first of the year will have that too, on top of a great Infinity radio, amp, and speakers. Could not be happier.
Best sedan under $40K
Compared to Maxima, Avalon, even Lexus ES and Infiniti G35, this Azera limited edition outperforms in a solid way. It is cheaper, but that doesn't mean that performance is worse. I feel that the quality and performance are even competitive with Lexus GS or LS series. Excellent car. If you're looking for a TRUE luxury car at a reasonable price, this is THE car.
excellent!!!
This is a wonderful car to drive! The power is awsome and it looks beautiful! will recomend it to everyone! really happy with it.
Yin and Yang
Great car for the money. Looks and sounds high-end. Great engine, nice stereo, acceptable mileage, very quiet inside, transmission is fine. Suspension is rough over bumps yet not firm in the corners. Rear sun shade is nice touch, until it broke (fixed under warranty). Rear mirror fell off. Big car but seat doesn't go back far enough. Trunk does drip in water when opened but that doesn't really bother me. Great trunk w/cargo net & split folding seats. Good in stop/go and on highway. Leather isn't super supple, but is durable. No problems with build quality, rattles, or peeling trim. No mechanical problems. Lots of safety features.
Better than a Lexus ES350
Yes, this is not a Lexus. But it is better than a Lexus ES350 in terms of overall quality and value. The price is about $12,000 cheaper than a comparably equipped ES350 but quality is equivalent or actually better in some areas. For example, the ride is not floaty as ES350 since the Azera provides a firmer (better road handling) yet very comfortable ride. Inside the cabin is quieter than the ES350 (closer to the LS430) since I could hear my wrist watch ticking at 65 mph on a hwy. Azera has a bigger interior space than the BMW 760i. It is a true luxury at a very humble price.
Wish it had better MPG but at least it’s fast
I bought this car used as my first car to get me through college (long trips back and forth to home). It now has 144,000 miles on it and it’s still reliable! So far I’ve had to replace the brake pads and rotars(normal) and a few tire balances but that’s it. Now it is an 11 year old car so there are a few things wrong that aren’t worth fixing such as the front passenger door lock won’t always work so you have to push it on or off manually, and there’s a clean crack on the dash, and there’s some sun damage on the interior paint (none on the exterior). But considering it’s age, and that I’ve never had to pay for any major fixes, this car is a great value and very very reliable. Of course I wish I got better gas mileage but it’s a powerful engine so I got what I asked for I guess.

A Good Car Overall
I've had the car since new. Quiet, good performance and decent mpg. A comfortable ride that's been on quite a few long trips. The only problems I've had are an undercar protective panel falling off on the highway (covered under warranty), the Michelin tires lasted only 30k miles and, now, the dash has cracked (I assume the dealer will also cover under warranty). I only have one little occassional rattle but don't they all have at least one? I've enjoyed this car and intend to keep it until at least the end of the warranty period. I would recommend Hyundai to all buyers.
A steal at this price
I could not be happier. Got the black / black and had the factory wheels chromed. Stunning to look at and an even bigger pleasure to drive. This is a "10" and a must see for anyone shopping at this pricepoint.
Engine Fire...2007 Azera
I owned this car for 3 years. I am 2nd owner. The 2nd owner only gets 5 year, 60K mile warranty. I was about 3 weeks past the 5 years when the engine caught on fire while sitting in a parking lot, turned off. It was a total loss... and also for others parked near by...as they too lit up. The fire started in the very front of the engine compartment. Hyundai denied any assistance or responsibility for the engine fire. They were not interested to investigate. I am just so thankful it happened out in the open, rather than back in my attached garage. I will never own another Hyundai or Kia again. I value my safety and that of my family first.
More car for the $$$
The 2007 Azera Limited is a fine car for the money. This vehicle is compared in construction to some of the BMW series and won! The Korean car maker is certainly headed in the right direction by providing a luxury vehicle without the high price tag. The door handles are nicely designed and convenient. The Infinity sound system rocks! Areas to improve: Car is heavy when applying brakes, emergency brake light needs a sounder to alert the driver, no auxiliary input for your mp3. The leather seating is too thin but lumbar support helps. If your electronic gizmos starts to go wacky, try changing battery first before spending $ at dealership if your warranty runs out. Enjoy your Azera!
Azera Rocks
Trunk is enormous and it has been very reliable.
Great car great reliability
Only drawback is they're known for the dash cracking on the passenger side where the airbag is located and mine did too. Very roomy, even in the back seats, I'm tall with long legs and have plenty of leg room. I like the heated leather with 5 settings of heat too.

2007 Azera Ltd
on 02/24/11 19:08 PM (PST) I had both Plastic engine shrouds fall down while driving. I drove it home with them pointing forward hitting the ground. I unbolted the remaining bolts and removed them and took it to our dealer( Poor Customer service), and they questioned me, but I showed where they broke. The car radiates a lot of heat when you get out of the car, by the drivers door, from underneath. I had the Door panels replaced, the Rear shade replaced, the rubber around the sunroof replaced. The battery replaced after 2 years. The ride can be rough, but the power is great.
Ten years old and running great!
Bought it used in August '09 with 38k miles on it. Eight years later it has only 108k on it. No major repairs during that time. Combined mileage runs a little over 23 MPG in mixed driving (mostly city and short hwy miles). It is very roomy and has a nice, big trunk. With routine service I expect it will last another 100k, at least. The engine is 263 HP and runs strong.

Hyundai's Homerun --> The Azera!
Hyundai hit one outta the park w/ the Azera! It is stylish, comfortable and reliable for very little cash! I've had mine four days, and I'm enjoying every minute in the vehicle. The fit and finish are superb. It handles with minimal float around corners. The cabin's quiet ... and the sound system is decent.
Best Value Deal
I've had the car for two weeks now and it remains a pleasure to own and drive. I rated performance 8 out of 10, with lost points for brakes that take a lot of foot/leg effort and a suspension that just asks for thicker anti-roll bars and stiffer shocks/springs. Hey the car is incredibly comfortable and I scored it 10/10. Fuel economy is not great; but if I nurse it around town...it is reasonable and in fact holds up to the manufacturer's claims. Still, the car IS fun to drive if quiet comfort is what you seek. And the engine and transmission are wonderful...all-in-all, a wolf in sheep's clothing that looks British if you ask me. If it had a British badge...you could add 15k to the price.
Great car
This is a great car for the money. My last two cars were supercharged GM products. This car has more pickup and more comfort then both. So far I'm getting 26 + miles per gallon with all that power. It has 60,000 miles on it but runs like new. Can not even tell that the engine is running. I love this car.
Great Car
I love my new 2007 Hyundai Azera. After doing research on these forums ,I decided to check out the Azera....WOW what a car. I was going to go see a Honda I told the Hyundai salesman lets make a deal.
Issues with our 2007 Azera
We bought a our 2007 Azera new, and have had several issues with the car. I will list only those that I consider more than nuisance value. Cracked dashboard, much like all the other customers. Sound barrier/shroud bolts under car came off like others, dragging from front to back. Latest issue is a failed rear winshield screen motor, which the dealer says has been impossible for him to fix... Car also gives off a tremendous amount of heat under the car on both sides and the rear. Overall, the car has been nice to drive but has so many what seems to be design flaws that it's now clear to me why hyundai does not advertise it or give it showroom floor space.
Great Package of Value
This car can compare to vehicles costing twice as much. There are a very few minor quirks that will likely be worked out in future revisions, but overall this car is a top value for a discriminating car owner. Hyundai is going through the same evolution Honda & Toyota went through in their quest of the USA market share.
Don't need to pay a lot to get a luxury
I never expected Hyundai putting out cars like Azera. I fell in love with my 07 Azera!
Don't look any others
Our other car is Mercedes, and my previous one that I traded for Azera is Saab 9-5 Aero (v6) sport wagon. It's like Mercedes in terms of handling, Quitness, and elegant interior design. I bought Powder Peral White and Beige interior. I tested all other Lexus, Cadillac,Infinity, Acura. I ended up with Azera. The value is unbelievable. I love it......
2007 Azera
This was the the first truly new car we every purchased. We really like the cars exterior green color and light beige leather interior. The car performs very will and we get about 26.5 MPG on the highway The biggest problem I have with the and maybe I should say the tires that came on it, is road noise. at 17,000 miles the dealer Car City St Joseph MO replaced one the tires but that really did not solve the problem. Now at 30,800 miles the dealer is saying the tires are cupped. Telling me its my fault for not rotating then every 7,500 miles.
Azera - Great Value!
I needed a car that was not too pretentious, and wanted a car that felt pretentious. This one solved both items. It's a fun car to drive and I feel very safe in it. It doesn't like to go just 35 mph and loves to travel on the open highway. It comes well equipped and the fit and finish is very good. I've had to have several minor things fixed under warranty, but that was another major selling point of the Hyundai. The warranty is the best in the industry, and I've had great service from the dealership.
In the snow
We were recently caught in a bad snow storm in MD and WVa. The Azera outperformed all the other cars on the road. It went right through those huge snow drifts, did not fishtail on slippery roads, and all in all was safe and sound. I love this car and think it is underrated.
All my friends say "WOW"
I get questions every day about this car! People can't accept the fact that Hyundai made a beautiful car. From the Luxury features: Rain Sensing wipes, power folding mirrors, power adjustable foot pedals, 10 speaker system, Memory seats. To the Safety features: Electronic Stability Control with Traction Control System and Anti-lock Braking System and also loaded with airbags. 2 front airbags, 2 front side airbags, 2 roof airbags, 2 rear side airbags. 8 Airbags is impressive. It also comes with a nice 3.8 L V6. The exterior is also sweet, the L.E.D tail lights look really nice at night and ver y bright. If you want a car that will turn heads, impress your friends. Buy the Hyundai Azera.
One of the best cars I have owned
I bought this car used in 2010 with about 15,000 miles on it. I have owned the car for over 7 years and have never had any major problems, although I did need to replace the brakes at about 50,000 miles. Now with 80,000 miles it needs tires and a battery, which I think is a reasonable life for these items. The car is very comfortable and a joy to drive - peppy, smooth and secure handling. The Infinity sound system is outstanding, although it would be nice to have XM or the ability to play music from an external source. It came with a lot of standard equipment that would likely be optional on other similar vehicles (heated leather power seats, power sunroof, etc). The trunk is massive! The other thing I like is that you don't see a lot of Azeras on the road, so it has a feeling of uniqueness. I will most likely replace my Azera with another Hyundai/Kia model.

Hyundai
Awesome car. Loaded with features for a fracation of the price of other sedans.
Great value but accelerator hesitates
Delighted overall with the car. However, the accelerator has a full half second hesitation that is not only anoying but arguably dangerous. The dealer claims this is in the engineering design and cannot be resolved. The Michelin Energy 17" tire provide great cornering and stopping capabilities.
Update 1 year later
I'm updating my review from 1 year ago. Since then I have encountered more issues. My dashboard has cracked on the passenger side, where the Airbag is. The cracks are basicially in the shape of where the bag is. Also the rear window shade has gone out for the 2nd time. The paint is fading. I e-mailed Hyundai Usa, and they directed me to a dealership. I have 1 month or 5,000 miles left until the warranty expires (5yr/60k). This is something that should be covered even after expiration, I feel they are both safety issues. Unfortunatly I have to go back to a dealership that lacks customer service and follow-up. I had such high hopes for this Car, but am disappointed in the build/reliability
Another Cracked Dash
I was a big advocate of my Hyundai azera. I didn't complain about having to wait 6 months to correct the recall on the front seat belt. I didn't complain when the dealers were telling every owner they needed to change the interior air filter? I didn't even complain about the dash cracking. But when I found out that it is a design flaw with the passenger air bag and that hundred of 06 and07 cars have the same problem. That Hyundai changed the style because of the design problem in 08. And, that I can't even get it repaired because of the liability. I complained to Hyundai consumer affairs---they blew me off and won't even return a call!
Not Bad on Winding roads
Comute 50 miles to wrok in my Azera, was a little scpetical about upgrading from a Sonata. I do not miss the Sonata. The Azera drives better and has more acceleration than my old 79 Z-28. Yes I am that old. Even better I work for Toyota and buy Hyndai.
Best Car Ever
This is the necest car I have ever owned, without the headaches.
very loud road noise
I never expected to buy a new car and can not hear the radio for road the noise. We talked to the dealer about the problem 2 or 3 times. Funny they say they have not heard that before. We found a talk site on cars and guess what that was one of the biggest complants with the Azera. I do not think it is the tires. I think it has no insulation or sound deading in the car and also has a bad suspension under the car. The bad part is once you buy or lease this car they or done with your concerns. Beware David
Rocket
The gas mileage is around 20 mpg. The acceleration is awesome. It is easy to hit 100mph just passing a caron the interstate. I got a ticket the first time I went out on the highway.Love this car.
3-Month report
I now have 8,000 miles on my Azera and have loved every minute of driving. Currently showing 26.5 average MPG. People who ride in it can not believe how quiet the engine is and the back seat leg room.
My bad: it's NOT all that
I was very enamored in the first month, but it's not so great after-all. Two warranty repairs needed in under 9000 miles taking 5 trips to the dealer to fix them. Dealer lacked parts for both repairs, even though there was a TSB on the second one. Dealer did not go the extra mile for me when I needed them to, resulting in additional time living with a broken rear sunshade stuck in the up position (and a dangerous, distraction while driving since the car always tried to lower the sunshade, then raise the sunshade when shifting into R and then D...a LOUD horrible noise). I am going back to Toyota (no warranty repairs, not even in 110k miles) or Mazda (no warranty repairs in 45k miles).
Lives up to all of the hype.
I have had my Limited with the Ultimate package for just over a year now. Everyone who first sees it always asks what the car is. I got tired of explaining it's a Hyundai Azera, so now I just tell everyone it's an Infiniti. The car has been getting better and better gas mileage as the engine ages and since I put in a K&N air filter. I get between 28 and 32 MPG running 75 to 80 MPH now, where I used to get 24 to 28 for the first 10,000 to 15,000 miles at those speeds. I love the LCD tail lights and the overall look of the vehicle.
Awesome Ride
Best car for the money. First foreign car I have owned. I purchased a limited in December of 2007. I got the golden beige. My wife liked it so much we bought her one. She got the XM steel Gray. I have almost 7000 miles on mine. Best car I have ever had! Very quiet. Plenty of power. Infinity sound system rocks. I had all the tires aligned and ha nitrogen put in them. No issues with the michelins. Drives like a dream. My wife's car is a program car with 22k miles. She loves it. The entire buying experience was unbelievable. Great experience with dealer. The entire sale was negotiated over the phone. I truly believe that the azera is the most car for the money on the road today!
My New Azera
I love it. Had a Sonata for six months wiith everything in it. Does not compare to this car.Like a Camry versus an LS 400. Rides better than asnything I have ever driven and have had many Acuras and one Lexus. It is a wonderful car. Styling could be a bit more hip but the interior is fantastic. Got black on black. Looking forward to months of good driving.
Great performer!!!!
Great quality and performance. Don't be fooled by those name brands and pay thousands more for nothing. I mean this Azera is good or better than an Avalon or Acura TL... even a Lexus.
2007 Azera Limited
Traded in my Cadillac while on vacation. This car is roomy and has a trunk as large as my DeVille. Fun car to drive and it will get up and go. Very nice leather interior and I love the white pearl exterior. Engine is exceptionally quiet as well as powerful. Heated seats and folding rear seats and exterior chrome accents make this a special car.
love this car
I have owned my Azera for 3 months. We went on a 1700 mile road trip last week. This car is fun to drive, comfortable, quiet, and very responsive. It has the 3.8L V6, and it only has 3500 miles on the odometer. It should get better mileage when it is broken in. I checked the fuel economy and got 28.3 mpg. It holds the road well around curves and when you need to pass on a two lane road the response to a little pressure on the gas peddle is awesome. In conclusion, for the price you can not beat the Hyundai Azera in my opinion. This car is sweeeeet.
Stu's Azera
Purchased this car new. Has everything on it. At 30,333 miles, I'm getting 32 highway (doing 65mph) and 26 city on the 3.8L engine. This car was designed for the Korean executive market, and truly has an upscale look and feel to it. For the dollar, it's a keeper (I'll keep it 10-15 years)! Do the research on this...you can applaud the Korean auto maker on a job well done!
Best car I have owned
Of all the cars I have ever owned, be it new or used this is the best one of the bunch. Only problems I have to report are that after three months I couldn't get the XM radio to re-cycle and the pearl white paint seems to chip a little too much for my tastes. A dealer fixed the XM radio in less than a minute. One more thing, tires seem to have flat spots in them until they warm up. Otherwise a great car. I was impressed enough to buy my wife a 2009 Hyundai Sonata, solely on the strength of the Hyundai name. They have come a very, very long way since their first exports here years ago.
Hyundai Milestone
After having Caddys,Lincolns,Audis and most recently a 2006 Maxima I wanted something different. I never gave much thought to Hyundai until I saw the Azera.I went to the dealership on a Saturday morning and after a test drive and an overall review of the Azera Ltd. I walked out a new owner.I was somewhat skeptical at first until I drove the vehicle for a while. I am really impressed with it.The quality,ride,handeling,and style is as good if not better than any other car I have owned. It has qualitys that you will pay much more for from other manufactures. And the safty features... endless.
Great car for the money
Overall this is a great car. Big comfortable well appointed interior. Great performance and mileage for such a large car. Wonderful seats, sound system, climate control, etc. Enormous trunk but opening designed to leak in rain. Mushy suspension which appears to be unfixable. Metal trim in console marginal, fake wood trim peels oddly. Warranty covered halogen foglight bulbs repeatedly, but when plastic panel under car falls off for no reason this was alleged to be "body damage" uncovered by warranty. Overall fit and finish excellent but Hyundai seems unwilling to support and stand by car at level which would expect with such a luxurious vehicle.
Azera
I have owned Hyundais since 2000, and my wife has since 2006. I opted for the Azera as my most recent option, and I have been pleasantly surprised with the comfort, style and general reliability of this car. I've come to expect more from Hyundai, and they deliver.
What-a-car
I bought this car with 3k mi on it, original owners decided they wanted the Limited. I have the 3.3lt engine which provides 253HP. Very quick and nimble,20mpg in town and 30+ on the highway! Kind of wish i had the 3.8 engine but mileage would suffer. It could use a little more noise dampening and that's about it. Its a full size car, lots of room with a large trunk capacity. Terrific car!
