2008 | 4dr Sedan 263-horsepower 3.8L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This car is spacious and very easy to get into and out of. It allows one to sit up high and still have plentiful headroom. see full Hyundai Azera review |

Easy step-in combined with excellent headroom means my 96 year old mother in law can get in and out without effort! She can cross her legs when seated. see full Hyundai Azera review |

The pitch between front and rear seats is huge. The rear door opens wider than almost any other current model, and my 97 year old mother in law can get in and out easily. see full Hyundai Azera review |

Since the car came from Opel (EU), it is naturally made for smaller fold. The rear is comfortable, just a little lacking in legroom at times. see full Buick Regal review |
