Used Hyundai Azera: the years to buy and the years to skip
Every Hyundai Azera from 2012 to 2017: what each year typically sells for (about $8,000 to $11,500), its crash rating, and whether it's a year to target or skip. The best bets are 2012, 2014–2017. Look harder at or skip 2013.

Worth knowing
- 2013: owner complaints spike (112, mostly the steering).
- It drives soft and unexciting, and resale is weak, though that makes used prices low.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Look for the Limited: it adds a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and premium Infinity audio over the base Azera.

Prices are typical dealer and private asking prices from used listings, collected in September and October 2026, for an average-mileage car. Years with too few listings are estimated from nearby years. Crash ratings, recalls and owner complaint counts come from NHTSA public records.
