Hyundai Equus Preview

SE ALSO: Hyundai Specs, Prices and Comparisons

Washington DC August 18, 2009; The AIADA newsletter reported that the Hyundai Equus is doing its homework on the American market before it arrives in the fourth quarter of 2010. Writers at Autoblog.com say they recently took a ride in the upscale sedan during the Pebble Beach weekend in Monterey, and predict that if it's priced right, it will do just as well as its only-slightly-less luxurious kin, the Genesis.

The car contains everything Hyundai knows about quality. The convenient hook for the Genesis was BMW 7-Series roominess and luxury, 5-Series sportiness, and a 3-Series price. The Equus simply goes for everything 7-Series, S-Class, and LS, save for price.

Ultimate-in-luxury features include butter-smooth leather all over, a suede headliner, double-pane glass all 'round sandwiching a layer of glazing material, an Auto Hold feature that keeps the car still until you press the accelerator, a front-view camera that comes on at or below 5 mph, a lane-departure warning system that works with white and yellow lines and tugs on your seat belt after an audible warning, a heated steering wheel, and three settings for seat warming and cooling.
