Review: 2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate

Lexus Luxury At A Hyundai Price My roommate – bless her heart – is about as much of a car enthusiast as the BMW X6 is a coupe. She puts forth an honest effort to hold conversations with me about autos, but 90 percent of the time, it just doesn't work. You have to understand, in her eyes, a Cadillac Escalade is the pinnacle of luxury, the fastest car in the world has to be a Ferrari and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is fitted with "those squeezy seats."

    Hyundai isn't horsing around with the Equus, its premium luxury sedan offering, for the 2014 model year. As stated in the automaker's press release, "Equus is the number-one shopped premium luxury sedan, well ahead of Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8, Lexus LS, and Jaguar XJ." We're not entirely certain what "number-one shopped" means, but ...

    SEMA 2010: Rhys Millen, Mummbles Marketing and DUB bow at the altar of Equus
    1288812060

    Ten years ago, when Hyundai came to SEMA for the first time, it did so with Tucson and Veracruz models with wacky appliques. Now, like Jay Z, they've rolled up Big Pimpin' with three Equus luxocruisers dressed and dropped by the likes of Rhys Millen, Mummbles, and DUB magazine. The Mummbles Marketing steed, nicknamed the "Elegant Equus," has had its ...

    At first blush (and second blush, and third...), it doesn't quite seem fitting that Hyundai would choose to bling out its range-topping Equus sedan for the rapidly approaching SEMA Show in Las Vegas. Still, here we are with a Rhys Millen Racing Signature Edition Hyundai Equus... for better or for worse. For those keeping track, this is the third ...

    Hyundai showed off its new Sonata Turbo and Sonata Hybrid yesterday at the New York Auto Show, two vehicles that should help keep the brand's mid-size sedan moving up the sales charts with a bullet.

    2011 Hyundai Equus arrives to take on the big guns

    When the first Hyundai Excels rolled onto American roads in the late-1980s, it was hard to image the Korean automaker getting taken seriously as a builder of budget cars. Taking on the likes of Mercedes-Benz and BMW would have been an absurd thought. And yet later this year that is exactly what Hyundai is doing as the new Equus begins to arrive at ...
