Hyundai hasn't revealed any specifics yet, but they've released the first images of the redesigned 2011 Azera sedan. Replacing the fourth generation model that was released in 2005, the new Azera features the automaker's "fluidic sculpture" design theme as seen on the Sonata and also new 2011 Elantra. Fitting in between the Sonata and Genesis sedan, the Azera features LED lighting up front and incorporated into the taillights above the rear bumper, which integrates two tailpipes at the bottom.

The front continues to emphasize the bold grille theme as seen on the Sonata and the fog lights also have an unusual and sleek appearance. Hyundai has not provided a release date or pricing for the new Azera as of this writing, nor is it expected to be seen this week at the LA Auto Show. More than likely, it'll have its official premier at the end of the year at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
