South Korean auto major Hyundai is all set to launch its flagship sedan Azera (Grandeur) in UAE this month. The all-new premium sedan replaces the Hyundai Genesis, which was previously the flagship sedan from the brand. UAE is known as one of the biggest markets for the premium and luxury cars and therefore, the Korean auto major couldn’t rule out the sedan’s launch in the country.
As we reported earlier, the sedan was launched in the Korean market last year. It incorporates a fresh and elegant design that reflects the premiumness from every angle. This sedan gets a large front grille with horizontal slats and the sharp headlamps come with dual beam appearance along with integrated LED daytime running lights. Apart from that, instead of conventional fog lamps, this sedan comes with horizontally positioned LED strips and a sculpted looking front bumper with sleek air intake.
