The flagship offering in the Korean brand’s line-up, the premium Hyundai Azera sedan is a car that has been exclusively engineered for the Middle Eastern region and one that is now in its sixth-generation. Not only dimensionally larger and significantly more advanced than the model it replaces, the all-new Azera welcomes a more powerful V6 engine that is completely unique to the region.

Exclusively available at Skyline Automotive in Qatar, the all-new model is the latest evolution of the brand’s distinctive and confident design language, and is the second model internationally to flaunt the brand’s new Cascading Grille. At the back, rear combination lamps illuminate the full width of the car and remain true to the DNA of the Azera.
“The Azera has been very successful for us in the Middle East, and Global Headquarters in Korea has recognized the particularly high importance of the model in the region,” said Mike Song, Hyundai’s Head of Operations for Africa and the Middle East. Middle Eastern buyers benefit from a 3.5-liter engine that produces 286 horsepower and is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
