I've been looking at the two on comparison charts, but I don't see what you get for the additional $5,000.
The Azera does weigh a few hundred pounds more, so I'm assuming you are getting more material. I've not looked closely at the interior so I'm also going to assume the Azera may have a little more quality in the seating.
You do get larger wheels, 19" vs 18". V-6 vs. 4 cylinder turbo. I still don't see the price difference in features, options, interior space, Style wise, they are similar and at 50' many people could not tell them apart. Not like a Chevy and Cadillac difference.
Hyundai is also advertising the Sonata all over the place, but I don't recall seeing the Azera advertised at all.
Has anyone done a serious comparison? If so, what did you conclude?
Also, any idea when the 2016 Sonata will be out?
