2012 Hyundai Azera Confirmed for LA Auto Show


Yesterday, instead of releasing an announcement on their websites, Hyundai issued a tweet:

"We're in the final stages of ride/handling tuning for the 2012 Azera, and it's dialing in nicely. Look out for it at the LA Auto Show."

We expect Hyundai will bring to LA the North American market version of the next generation Azera (the Grandeur in South Korea). The Azera slots between the Sonata and below the Genesis in the Hyundai lineup and will most likely be offered with a 270 hp V6 engine.

Engine options include a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 333 hp and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-banger engine with 274 hp.

In Korea, the Grandeur is equipped with the Lambda II 3.0-liter GDI engine featuring 270 hp and 310 Nm of torque, as well as the Theta II 2.4-liter GDI engine with 201 hp and 250 Nm of torque.
