Aesthetically, the Azera sedan comes equipped with the signature hexagonal grille flanked by LED headlamps and U shaped DRLs on either side. At the rear, the model receives an unique tail lamp setup bridged by a reflective strip with an integrated stop lamp, all underlined with a chrome strip. Also seen are the chrome tipped exhausts that are housed in the rear bumper. At either side, the Azera features prominent shoulder lines that are stretched all the way to the sweptback tail lights. The Azera rides on five split spoke alloy wheels.
