Overview

The 2011 Hyundai Equus makes for an excellent contender in the fullsize sedan class. With 2 trims on offer, the Hyundai Equus has a base MSRP of $58,000, with prices going all the way up to MSRP $64,500, competing directly with the Audi A8, the Lexus LS 460, and the Jaguar XJ. Only a 4.6L V8 is offered, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Together, they produce 385 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque. Accelerating from 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, the Equus maintains a combined fuel economy of 19 MPG. Hyundai offers the Equus in 5 stunning colors, with the Night Shadow Brown being a particular favorite of ours.
