The first-generation Azera appeared in 1986, when the car is actually now do not have the complete development of the car’s strength, So an alliance with Ford cited Ford’s rear-wheel drive technology, to complete the first-generation Azera development work.
From the modeling point of view, Founder of the style, quite a sense of era. But we can still learn many details of the place, or would like to see the car’s luxurious design direction. For example, straight waterfall-style grille, dense style, sumptuous, at that time, actually also equipped with a headlight cleaning system.
Multi banner formula rim style, and the window around the chrome trim, can see some luxury element.
2.5 generation, which is the mid-term facelift came in 1996, very characteristic of headlights using points piece design, a round headlight and a headlight composed of a square. Bentley grille shape quite in the style of that era. But its body structure and the second generation is no difference, body side molding and design and also the same C-pillar and the second generation.
third-generation models, the introduction in 1998, abandoned the split design of the previous generation of headlamps in shape , once again return to the traditional design. Founder of the style is still calm atmosphere style.
After the vehicle body is further increased, the rear passengers feel more emphasis. In 1998, Korea successfully hosted the Olympic Games, this car is the first person to be known all over the world.
fourth generation models, the advent in 2005, when the car had been using the same platform with the Sonata, the design also has some similar, but uses a more powerful engine. From the modeling point of view, it is highly similar to contemporary Sonata in fact, can be seen after the development of fourth-generation Hyundai Azera positioning of some confusion. Because at that time the most modern luxury car is not the Azera, but the Equus.
5th generation models, the advent of 2011, using the then latest Hyundai fluidic sculpture design language, contemporary Sonata 8 is world-renowned. After the Azera developed to the fifth generation, I think finally mature in the shape of a separate faction. Positioning is also more clear and precise. Body size that is level plus B + C-class configuration. This generation model is still the sense of luxury in the first place.
on the sixth-generation model, we can see the Azera’s design changed again, no longer is the emphasis luxury, but rather to highlight some of the breath moving in luxury in a car made in Korea on great sales, sales champion aspirations.
