Hyundai Equus

So as I was exploring the world of automotive's I came across Hyundai's website. This is a normal occurrence for me because I like to visit all manufacturers websites and click the "build your own" link on all of the vehicles that they have, and then make it as expensive as possible. The websites that let you actually see the accessories you add are the best because who doesn't want to see what your dream car may look like??

Now the reason I decided to write about Hyundai was because they make a car that I had never heard of or seen before. I know that they have come out with the Genesis which is a very well equipped car for its price and what some may consider luxurious. But what I did not know, is that the Genesis has an older brother called the Equus. Now normally something like this wouldn't grab my attention because who expects an ultra posh vehicle to come out a Korean based company, not saying they cannot make those types of vehicles it is just that they tend to usually believe in hyper efficient smaller cars, not big American carriers designed for Jay-Z and Kanye West dripping in chrome and 20" wheels.

Now let me break down why I am wasting yours and my time. The first thing that caught my attention being in the automotive industry already is that if you want to take a test drive of this vehicle, simply call your Hyundai dealership and they will bring one to you. Talk about already making you feel like Donald Trump. If you are also to purchase the vehicle, Hyundai does pick up and drop off maintenance of your Equus. Meaning that you can sit on your couch call up Hyundai and they will take care of any issues your having with the car.

The Equus rides on Electronic Air Suspension, which is an upgrade from the Lexus LS 460's suspension...on a Hyundai. This suspension is also adjustable for different types of terrain such as mountain, or rough, or even sport mode for a car that is as long as a city block. This also ties into Hyundai's vehicle stability management system which incorporates more acronyms than the back of a prescription drug bottle. For example this system uses VSM, ESC, TCS, ABS, and EBD for example, now if that makes you as confused as I am no worries because the manual for this car is actually...an iPad!! That's right included with your purchase you receive and iPad as your manual.

Now most of the time when you purchase a car like this you expect to be driven around in it. But then you stop and think, who would get driven around in a Hyundai? Well personally I would have no problem riding around in the backseat of this car. This is due to the Equus following in the steps of Rolls Royce, the rear seats include...heated and cooled leather, with power adjustable head restraints, center console style refrigerator, independently controlled entertainment systems for each passenger, as well as reclining seats that have built in massagers. In a Huyndai, mind blowing.

Other quick honorable mentions for this car include a 17 Speaker Lexicon sound system, 8 inch premium navigation screen, 6 speed automatic transmission with a 4.6L V8 engine, and continuous automatic dampening control.

Overall without being able to drive this vehicle is sounds like one hell of a bargain for $58,000 starting. Now this may seem like a lot of money, but when you take everything the Equus gives you in comparison to its rivals like the Lexus LS 460 which starts closer $67,000 or all the way up to a Rolls Royce which will put you closer to 300k. This car is definitely something to consider.
