I took my 06 Azera in for service on June 3rd and noticed a metallic red Azera sitting on the lot. Once I got close enough I realized it was a 2009 with an MSRP of $30,869.00. The first thing you will notice are the new rims. They are not chrome but they do have a satin nickel finish that looks very nice. The new grill has tasteful upturned bars that look more defined. Inside you will find that all the silver accents are now chrome and the wood is darker with a different grain. The audio system (it did not have navigation.) has a larger display with a better preset layout for XM and now includes a console mounted aux/usb jack and best of all the interior illumination is BLUE...  The carpet and lower trim pieces are a much darker color. I find the contrast to be very tasteful. The dealer insisted that I test drive it, he did not have to ask twice, and I will say that the suspension is much quieter and more controlled. To some it up...I should have waited for an '09...

Given that the '08 had significant suspension changes that were reported to be an improvement in these same areas, I'd say the jury is still out on whether the 2009 suspension is any different than that of the '08. But in any case, great news. Thanks for relaying it.

Replying to: tonycd (Jun 07, 2008 8:55 pm)  It is just an all around nicer package in my opinion, much better than my '06. But in any case, they made the much needed improvements in a very reasonable time and all is well in the cosmos. Long live the Azera......

I have become very excited about the Azera; looked at the ''08. Does anyone have information on the '09 availability in South Florida? Aware of any special incentive programs? Thank you. |

Replying to: carolinabob (Jun 09, 2008 11:22 am) But in the interest of fairness, I must note that Hyundai did say they completely redesigned the shocks themselves with a new "twin tube" design. Having not heard any reports of the problem so far with the 2008 models, and having not detected any problem myself in a rough-road test drive (which the 2006 flunked in this regard), I don't know there's any proof that they have not fixed the infamous "clunk." With all due empathy for your very car's very frustrating problem, we might want to reserve judgment on that.

| No USB/iPod port/aux with nav. You will also lose the cd changer with navi. So for the limited then just get the ultimate package and buy a portable navi. Might be a better deal. The iPod cable is 08620-2L000 and costs around 24 to 30 USD. | |
