5 reasons to buy the 2016 Hyundai Azera
1. Lots of standard features
You shouldn't have to go without your favorite features, even if you decide on the base model. The base 2016 Hyundai Azera comes very well equipped, so you won't have to make any sacrifices about comfort and convenience. You'll find standard equipment like automatic headlights, heated mirrors, leather upholstery, 12-way power driver seat heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, a hands-free automatic-opening trunk, and more. It's even got a chilled glovebox; talk about well-equipped!
2. Full of tech too
Not to worry, the 2016 Azera has the technology and electronics you're looking for as well. Let's start with a standard eight-inch touchscreen to keep you in control. Even the base model has standard navigation and integrated smartphone apps (including Pandora® and Siri Eyes Free®), satellite radio and HD radio, a CD player, and USB and auxiliary audio inputs. You'll also get an impressive 14-speaker Infinity audio system® that will help you enjoy your favorite music on the next road trip.
3. Tons of space
Your next car should have enough space to fit your lifestyle, so you'll be pleased to know the 2016 Hyundai Azera has lots of space for you and your stuff. With 16.3 cu-ft of trunk space, you can feel free to bring along an extra bag or two for your long weekend getaway. Plus, the 36.8 inches of rear leg room means your passengers can stretch out in comfort out on the open road. The 2016 Azera is well suited for a road trip or the daily commute.
4. Standard V6 power
Both the base and Limited trim levels get you standard V6 power. The figures are impressive, with 293 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque under the hood. You will also get a standard six-speed automatic transmission. So, whether you are merging onto a busy highway, or just looking for a little more power to pass, the 2016 Azera has the specs where it counts.
5. Premium options
Yeah, the base model is well-equipped, but you should see the upgraded Limited trim! On the outside, you get larger 19-inch wheels, xenon headlights with automatic high-beam control, and LED fog lights. It also adds a host of driver aids like adaptive cruise control, lane-departure and forward-collision warning systems, rear parking sensors, and more. Inside, you'll find upgrades like a panoramic sunroof, cool ambient interior lighting, a power rear sunshade, and (manual) side-window sunshades.
