Sold in the United States from the 2006 model year as the replacement for the XG350, it is known almost everywhere else as the Hyundai Grandeur — a nameplate that dates back to a rebadged Mitsubishi Debonair in 1986. In the U.S. it slotted above the mid-size Sonata and below the rear-drive Genesis sedan, chasing the Toyota Avalon, Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Impala, Nissan Maxima and its corporate cousin the Kia Cadenza.\n\nTwo generations reached American showrooms. The fourth-generation TG car (2006–2011) offered 3.3- and 3.8-liter Lambda V6s with five- and six-speed automatics. The fifth-generation HG car, sold here for the 2012–2017 model years, moved to the longer Y6 platform shared with the Sonata and Kia Cadenza and simplified the range to a single 293-hp 3.3-liter Lambda II GDI V6 with a six-speed SHIFTRONIC automatic. A mid-cycle facelift arrived for 2015 with a new grille, revised bumpers, standard 18-inch wheels, an eight-inch touchscreen and standard blind-spot detection. Hyundai never brought the sixth-generation IG Grandeur to North America — after the 2017 model year the Azera left the U.S. lineup, and with the Genesis sedan and Equus moving to the new Genesis brand, the Sonata became Hyundai's largest American car.\n\nStandout traits of the HG Azera are an unusually generous standard-equipment list for the money — navigation, leather, a rearview camera, blind-spot detection and a 550-watt Infinity audio system on the base car — plus 107 cubic feet of passenger volume, a 16.3-cubic-foot trunk and Hyundai's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. What it never delivered was steering feel or handling to match the Avalon. U.S. EPA ratings across the 2015–2017 cars run 19–20 mpg city and 28–29 mpg highway, and base prices spanned roughly $34,000 to $39,300 before destination.", "priceRange": "$34,100 - $39,300", "insuranceCost": "$1,700 / yr (avg)", "resaleValue": "29% after 5 yrs", "towingCapacity": "Not rated", "reliabilityScore": "7.8 / 10", "recallHistory": "1 recall (NHTSA, 2017 model year — campaign 21V619000)", "imageByYear": { "2015": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "2016": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "2017": "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg" }, "galleryByYear": { "2015": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Hyundai_Azera_%28HG%29_%28facelift%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Hyundai_Azera_HG_China_2016-04-15.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Hyundai_Azera_HG_rear_China_2016-04-19.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Hyundai_Azera_%2831661573170%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] }, "2016": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Hyundai_Azera_%28HG%29_%28facelift%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Hyundai_Azera_HG_China_2016-04-15.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Hyundai_Azera_HG_rear_China_2016-04-19.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Hyundai_Azera_%2831661573170%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] }, "2017": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Hyundai_Azera_%28HG%29_%28facelift%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Hyundai_Azera_HG_China_2016-04-15.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Hyundai_Azera_HG_rear_China_2016-04-19.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Hyundai_Azera_%2831661573170%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] } }, "gallery": { "exterior": [ "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/16_Hyundai_Azera_Base.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Hyundai_Azera_%28HG%29_%28facelift%29.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3b/Hyundai_Azera_HG_China_2016-04-15.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/70/Hyundai_Azera_HG_rear_China_2016-04-19.jpg", "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2a/Hyundai_Azera_%2831661573170%29.jpg" ], "interior": [] }, "years": { "2015": { "trims": [ { "name": "Azera", "description": "The base Azera opens the refreshed 2015 range at $34,000 before destination and is the only other trim besides the Limited.
