Moderate overlap front: original test

Rating applies to 2012-17 models

Tested vehicle: 2012 Hyundai Azera GLS 4-door

The Hyundai Azera was redesigned for the 2012 model year and is derived from the 2011-14 models of the Hyundai Sonata. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Hyundai as part of frontal crash test verification.
