20 Most Dependable Cars on the Market

Hyundai Azera

2014 Azera

The Hyundai Azera receives consistently high ratings for reliability and dependability. A long gives you an idea of how much confidence Hyundai has in this sedan since it would lose money offering an extended warranty for a poorly constructed auto. In fact, Hyundai has the best warranty you will find on similarly-priced vehicles, covering the Azera for five years or 60,000 miles, plus offering 100,000 miles or 10 years of powertrain warranty coverage.

The Azera was the flagship of the Hyundai lineup until the automaker introduced the Genesis, a status which shows its feature-filled nature and high-quality interior. The Azera sat just below the Genesis in the lineup but was still larger than the Sonata. The Azera arrived for the 2006 model year and lasted until 2017. Any of the Azera model years will provide a reliable auto that is a good choice for those who want a full-size sedan with safety, value, luxury, comfort, and dependability.

2017 Azera

The latest version of the Hyundai Azera is incredibly well-equipped, delivering all the features you really need as well as many that you just would love to have. This includes keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone automatic climate control, heated and powered front seats, Bluetooth audio and phone, a rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring, and Hyundai BlueLink emergency communications. The V6 engine is more than powerful enough for the average drive while still maintaining good fuel economy, and the transmission shifts nice and smooth.

If you were to take a closer look at older versions of the Azera, keep in mind that there was a redesign for 2012, delivering more power and style plus a higher-quality interior. The first generation of the Azera was still good in terms of features, styling, and dependability but there was some variation in features between model years. Choosing to rely on a 2008 or later model year will give you a few more features as standard, although still not quite as much as in the second generation. Overall, you can count on the Azera as a dependable auto to own as it will get you to your destination consistently and safely.
