The Azera premium sedan has been a successful model in the Hyundai line-up for a number of years, with great style, comfort and generous amenities, all at a very appealing price point.
Over the last few years, however, the Hyundai and Genesis line-ups have continued to increase the appeal of their models. 2018 Sonata has increased its comfort, technology, dynamics, design and performance. In addition, though distinct from the Hyundai brand, the Genesis brand continues to broaden the appeal of its mid-luxury G80 and premium luxury G90 models with attributes appealing to buyers holding the Azera on the periphery of purchase consideration.
As a result, for the 2018 model year, Hyundai Motor America will no longer offer the Azera for the U.S. market, simplifying its model line-up and broadening the appeal of its core models.
