2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate
2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate Hyundai has shown a lot of effort compared to any other car to transform it and elevate its brand, more than the Equus. The 2011 Hyundai Equus should not be mistaken for a big sport-luxury sedan of the type made by Audi and BMW. The Equus, like the Lexus LS 460, leans heavily toward the luxury side of things. It is conventionally styled car, most likely designed to appeal to older buyers. Hyundai also gives the Equus it's, a winged pedestal that emerges on the front of the car, the shifter, the steering wheel and the wheels. It comes with power-adjustable rear seats that are just too comfortable for kids or sheer family members. The rear LCD folds up from behind the center console. A metal-rimmed control knob is fitted on the console, surrounded by buttons labeled Map, Navi, Phone, and for the variety of audio sources. The Bluetooth phone system is completely an art. It copies a paired phone's contact list to the car, letting you place calls by speaking a contact's name. The car looks high-quality, and makes a statement with its exclusive Equus icon. Large windows present realism to the big sedan. The cabin tech interface is clean and practical, but Hyundai will have a difficult time adding new functions, as the hard-button model limits flexibility. The car is priced at $64,500.
