“I have enjoyed my Azera so far. Have not learned how to use all the technology yet. Because of the Blind Spot, and Lane Departure technology makes me feel safe on the highway when traveling even more so than our 2012 Lincoln Navigator.”
2015 Hyundai Azera: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The 2015 Hyundai Azera gets a mid-cycle refresh, led by updated front and rear styling plus more standard safety and convenience technology. The V6 powertrain carries over unchanged.
About the 2015 Hyundai Azera
2012-2017 U.S. Azera generation (HG), mid-cycle refresh year.
Hyundai positioned the Azera as a roomy, premium full-size sedan for shoppers who wanted V6 power, a quiet ride, leather seating, and a long standard-equipment list without moving to a luxury badge. Its core appeal was giving buyers a near-luxury experience in a front-drive sedan with strong comfort, generous cabin space, and more standard tech than many rivals such as the Avalon, LaCrosse, and Taurus.
The standard Azera is a well-equipped, near-luxury full-size sedan with a 293-hp V6, leather seating, heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, navigation, and premium audio. The Limited adds more luxury and driver-assistance features, including a panoramic sunroof, xenon headlights, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and rear sunshades.
What changed, by category
Styling
Hyundai revised the grille, front bumper, and rear bumper. The standard 18-inch wheels were also redesigned, while the Limited gained LED fog lights.
Safety
Blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane change assist became standard across the lineup. The Limited added forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and automatic high-beam assist.
Tech
Every Azera gained an 8-inch navigation screen, a hands-free smart trunk, and easier-to-reach center dashboard controls. The standard trim also gained ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and Infinity premium audio. On the Limited, the panoramic sunroof, rear parking sensors, rear sunshades, and 19-inch wheels became regular equipment rather than extras.
