2010 Hyundai Azera: the full review

The 2010 Azera combines a 3.8 L engine with front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission. Its 20 MPG combined rating and $3,350 USD annual fuel cost make fuel use a key consideration.

Overview

The 2010 Hyundai Azera is a large gasoline car with front-wheel drive and an automatic five-speed transmission. Its 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine is paired with EPA ratings of 17 MPG in the city, 26 MPG on the highway and 20 MPG combined. Those figures give buyers a concise way to compare its fuel use across different driving conditions.

The EPA lists annual fuel cost at $3,350 and tailpipe carbon dioxide emissions at 444.35 grams per mile. These figures provide additional context alongside the MPG ratings when estimating the cost and emissions associated with driving the Azera.

Key features

Powertrain: 3.8 L 6-cyl engine and automatic 5-spd transmission.
Drive: Front-wheel drive.
Vehicle class: Large Cars.
Fuel: Gasoline.

Who it's for

The Azera's official economy figures are most useful to shoppers who want to compare a large, front-wheel-drive gasoline car using consistent city, highway and combined ratings. The 17 MPG city rating and 26 MPG highway rating also show how the EPA's combined figure of 20 MPG sits between those two conditions. Buyers weighing fuel spending can use the listed annual fuel cost of $3,350 as a comparison point, while keeping in mind that it is an EPA figure rather than a personalized estimate.

For shoppers considering electric vehicles instead, Hyundai's Ioniq range offers a different direction for comparison. Options include the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 RWD and the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 6 N. These are alternatives to investigate separately; the Azera's gasoline MPG and fuel-cost figures are not directly comparable to electric-vehicle efficiency measures.

Pros and cons

Pros

The EPA figures include city, highway and combined fuel economy, along with annual fuel cost and tailpipe CO2.
Front-wheel drive and the five-speed automatic transmission are clearly identified for comparison with other cars.

Cons

The combined rating is 20 MPG, with city economy at 17 MPG.
The EPA-listed annual fuel cost is $3,350, and tailpipe emissions are 444.35 grams per mile.

Alternatives

Hyundai's current Ioniq choices listed here are electric alternatives for buyers willing to consider a different powertrain. The Ioniq 5 lineup spans 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 Standard range, the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD (19inch Wheels), the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD (20inch Wheels), and the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 5 AWD XRT. Another option is the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 AWD, also offered as the 2027 Hyundai Ioniq 9 AWD Performance. For more models from the same maker, see Hyundai cars.

Verdict

The 2010 Hyundai Azera is defined here by a straightforward gasoline powertrain: a 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine, front-wheel drive and a five-speed automatic. Its EPA-rated 20 MPG combined, $3,350 annual fuel cost and 444.35 grams per mile of tailpipe CO2 give buyers concrete figures to weigh against their priorities. The available facts support comparisons of fuel economy and emissions, but do not establish equipment, comfort, reliability or ownership costs beyond the EPA fuel-cost estimate.
