If you head over to Hyundai's website, you will see no signs that a refreshed Azera is on the way very soon. Well, when I learned that the 2009 model year was going to bring some changes to the car, I had to find out how it looked like. The usual culprits such as Edmunds, Autoblog, and Leftlane did not turn up any information. Just when I decided to wrap things up, I discovered a plethora of 2009 Azera images on a Illinois Hyundai dealership website. They confirmed that the Azera will bring about exterior, interior, and mechanical changes for 2009. They also confirmed that Google is really your friend.
For 2009, the Azera receives a host of changes. A redesigned grille and a new selection of wheels make up the tweaks made outside. The interior gets a darker wood trim, new audio system, and blue interior lighting that is spreading throughout the Hyundai line-up. Hyundai has also made subtle changes to the car's underpinnings, and test drivers report a firmer suspension. This change was made in response to criticisms of the Azera's soft, wallowy suspensions that hindered its handling. Engine choices remain the same.
The 2009 Hyundai Azera is slated to be available in all dealerships by September. Though, if you want to nab one now and live in the Illinois area, head to Gartner Buick Hyundai Saab. At least on their website, they have loads of them in stock. See them in various colors on their site.
