Hyundai Azera named ‘Best Large Family Sedan 2018’
The new Hyundai Azera has been named the “Best Large Family Sedan 2018” at the recently held 6th PR Arabia National Auto Award in Jeddah.
The event was attended by a number of car distributors and specialists, in addition to members of the media.
Azera won the award after being shortlisted through a public voting process.
“The new Azera clearly sets its own path in terms of design,” said Mike Song, Hyundai’s head of operations for Africa and the Middle East. He added: “It is innovative, sophisticated, and built on more than three decades of experience in understanding what our customers want. This is a great new accomplishment to be added to the many achievements.”
The design of the large sedan is distinguished by infinitely flowing lines, with simple, sensuous shapes representing a comprehensive refresh of Hyundai’s key visual themes. The front of the car carries the largest version yet of Hyundai’s latest signature design element, the cascading grille.
The styling is already winning praise and awards. In April, Azera won the Red Dot award for its “high design quality.” The Red Dot awards recognize excellence in product design across a wide range of industries. Azera was one of two Hyundai models achieving recognition in the transportation design category in 2017, alongside the i30.
The new Azera matches its distinctive, sporty looks with all the latest comfort, convenience and safety technologies that premium buyers expect. Advanced technologies include wireless charging for mobile devices, a power trunk, and premium Nappa leather seats. A seven-inch display houses the around-view monitor and fronts an audio system loaded with Android Auto and Apple Car Play — included as standard in global markets. Additionally, a memory seat and a panoramic sunroof further enhance the Azera’s comfort and convenience.
“We believe the all-new Azera will offer the perfect balance of style, comfort, and performance for buyers in the region,” said Song. “We are very proud of this car, and it will give buyers an exciting new choice in the showroom.”
