Hyundai Equus
The luxurious Equus received important mechanical upgrades last year, so this year Hyundai added exciting new colors to the existing palette. Powered by a 5.0l V8 with an eight-speed transmission, this big sedan clearly shows where Hyundai wants to go. Although equipped with a pneumatic suspension with Sport mode, keeping up with expensive luxury cars from the Old World may not yet be its cup of tea. Keep watching however, the Koreans learn fast.
