My Two Dents on Hyundai’s Lexus LS Competitor, the Equus
Two words I at no time would possess expected to perceive in the identical judgment five years ago: Hyundai and opulence. In reality, I would possess thinking you were a small mixed up. Admirably, I conjecture that’s egg on my visageme. Above the over hardly years the small Korean automaker-that-could has been turning itself into a powerhouse kind with evocative property, charge points, plan, engineering, and execution. The automaker whose dealerships I tried to shun like the scourge sole a small period ago at present has a lineup that has me deficient to catch a subsequent look.
Foremost came the Genesis, a lux-ish sedan that provides a V8 and rear-wheel push to contend with the large boys from Germany and Japan while undercutting their prices near a spacious edge. Then, fiery on the Genesis sedan’s appendage came the Genesis Coupe with its 2.0-liter turbo four or large 300HP+ V6, again sacrifice execution near mating both to a 6-speed attach and RWD.
At long last, fair this week in Novel York Hyundai had their novel home-market flagship on the podium, the novel Mercedes S-Class sized Equus sedan, you understand, fair for display (yeah correct. No disbelieve if reactions are fine they’ll be bringing this puppy across the Pacific to start recruiting Mercedes and Lexus buyers. If prices for the six-cylinder were genuinely to start in the 40k’s as rumors propose, I can think of a overloaded representation with the V8 would quiet approach’s in beneath most competitors’ prices.
I’m not completely certain where Hyundai got the courage and the skills to leapfrog some of Japan’s superlative attempts at summit row eminence (Acura and Infiniti , for instance, but boldly carriage down on Lexus and Mercedes has positively gotten consumers’ heed. At no time in a million years would I possess thinking that grave people would be comparing Hyundai with manufacturers from the inner disc of luxury.
From the looks of it, the Equus is fair the next position in Hyundai ’s large plan to display people the Japanese aren’t the sole Asian automotive power to be reckoned with. Having seen its flagship, at present I’m (I can’t accept I’m saying this) eagerly anticipating the Tiburon’s replacement. Mercedes and Lexus , observe your backs. It’s looking more and more like Hyundai desire be a genuine contender in the years to come.
