The Azera is stylish and refined, with a nicely finished and quiet interior. The cabin is spacious, with comfortable front seats and a roomy rear seat. Power comes from a smooth 3.3-liter V6 and six-speed automatic that provide strong performance and returns 23 mpg overall, good for a large car. But the ride is too stiff for a large sedan, and feels busy, even on the highway. Handling lacks agility and the heavy steering feels artificial. The cabin is filled with generous luxury touches throughout. While competitively priced, the Azera is no longer the bargain it once was.
