Speaking at a dealer meeting in San Francisco, Hyundai confirmed it would launch two new models by January 2012 - a two-door version of its recently launched Elantra small car and a replacement for the Azera large car.
In addition to the Elantra coupe, Hyundai also confirmed a revised version of the Azera sedan would be hitting dealerships in January 2012. The next-generation Azera will be powered by a new direct-injection 3.3L V6 that will produce 260 horsepower and achieve better fuel economy ratings than the current car. Hyundai expects to sell 18,000 to 20,000 units of the new car in the U.S. per year, up from last year's tally of 3,051.
Although revealed under a different nameplate, the 2012 Azera has already been revealed as the Hyundai Grandeur in Korea.
