Illustrating the fact that more people are looking for efficiency and value than power these days, Hyundai is offering a smaller, thriftier V-6 engine in the 2007 Azera sedan. The GLS trim gets a 3.3-liter engine producing 234 hp and gets 21/28 mpg city/highway. The GLS will start at $24,235. This model comes in under the Azera SE ($25,535) and Azera Limited ($27,335), both equipped with a 3.8-liter V-6 with 263 hp. Despite the larger engine, those two trims get 19/28 mpg city/highway, so we’re a little confused by the need for the GLS, despite its $1,300 lower sticker price.
All three trim levels get standard tire pressure monitoring systems, new for 2007.
