These are just a few of the features available.<\/p>\n<p>Safety features are equally as impressive. Nine airbags for all passengers, blind spot detection mirrors, lane keep assist, advanced smart cruise control modes, driver attention alert, autonomous emergency braking and around view monitor.<\/p>\n<p>All of these are more than enough to rival the Chevrolet Impala, Toyota Avalon, Nissan Maxima, Kia Cadenza plus a fair few other plush sedans.<\/p>\n<p>In the Middle East, 2018 Azera sedan&#8217;s ship with a 3.5-litre V6 petrol motor powering the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic\u00a0gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>Rated at 290 horsepower, GCC customers will be happy to know they have an additional\u00a029 horsepower compared to foreign\u00a0counterparts as they produce 261 hp.
