We brought you the first spy shot of the 2012 Hyundai Azera/ Grandeur and we also showed you the first rendering of the car. Now we have the real deal. This Hyundai Sedan has been caught naked and now we know how the front and rear of this car will look like.

The front features a very bold face with a massive grille done up in chrome along with sleek looking headlamps and bulges and curves that are reminiscent of the Sonata YF and in line with Hyundai’s Fluidic sculpture design.

The rear looks bulky yet attractive with smart looking tail lamps running the width of the boot. The car looks very muscular and gives a feel of solidity.

No more details are available as of now on the Azera although we know that two V6’s will make it under the hood- a 263-hp 3.8-liter & a 234-hp 3.3-liter mated to a 6 speed automatic.

The Azera is based on the Sonata platform and will sit between the Sonata and the Genesis . It debuts in 2011 as a 2012 model.

That seems unlikely given the fact that the 2011 Azera comes with a 260 hp 3.3L or 283 hp 3.8L V6 engine.
