With the recent launch of the V-8-powered Genesis, Hyundai has beckon that it’s ready to climb into the luxury sedan market. And now, the desirous of success South Korean car company is keeping up the momentum and unveiling the 2011 Hyundai Equus, with its sights aimed squarely at premium cars from Lexus and Mercedes-Benz.

Powering Hyundai’s latest flagship is the 4.6-liter dohc Tau V-8 that also sees duty in the Genesis sedan. The Tau is fitted with Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing and variable induction, with peak horsepower rated at 385 bhp when premium fuel is used, and 378 bhp with regular. A 6-speed ZF automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual mode sends the engine’s 333 lb.-ft. of torque (324 with regular fuel) to the rear wheels.

Equus engineers began with a generous use of high-strength steel in the chassis to provide a rigid base for the electro-hydraulic variable-assist power steering and all-around multilink suspension. And just like many other premium sedans, the Equus relies on electronically controlled air suspension with variable damping to provide a supple ride in normal driving, or a firmer sport setting when the driver feels a bit more racy.

When Hyundai first declare it would build the entry-level luxury Genesis, most in the automotive press supposed the automaker was get ready to spin off a separate luxury brand, although Toyota did with its Lexus nameplate. Many were doubtful when the car appeared at Hyundai dealerships.

From the aside from the Equus is deceitfully normal. Without the BMW or Mercedes-Benz logo decorate on the front, you might naturally not hope a whole lot. It is in the interior of this sedan, that the Equus really shows off.

thousands of successful sales and one North American Car of the Year award later, the gamble seems to have paid off. The Genesis offers some equipment found only on $50,000 luxury cars in a Base Price:$50,000 - $60,000 price range.

American are buying it despite the lack of a luxury badge. The Genesis appears to be convincing skeptical auto writers and skeptical car shoppers that Hyundai can build a bargain luxury car.
