2011 Hyundai Equus The next favorite cars

My next favorite feature of the Equus is the rear seating which looks more like something you would expect from a Bentley or Rolls-Royce. Instead of having a long bench with three seats, Hyundai opted for a two premium seat setup with a large center console in the middle. The center console includes a refrigerator for those long journeys and an independently controlled entertainment system. The best part is that the seats have an extension for leg support.

2011 Hyundai i40 launches from Hyundai in India

The new i40 will be joined in Geneva by the European specification of the Veloster sports model (see our scoop photos here) and the Curb small crossover concept study, which we first saw at the Detroit Motor Show this past January.

Hyundai i40 is one of the most anticipated car launches from Hyundai in India. The i30 will be available in both petrol and diesel versions and is expected to hit Indian roads by the end of 2009. Hyundai has invested heavily into expanding its production capacity and the dealer network. The success of Hyundai i30 will most definitely be bolstered by Hyundai's strong network of dealers as they continue to rule in the Indian car market. We wait with bated breath for the formal launch of the Hyundai i30 in India.

2012 The Hyundai-Veloster

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know by now that Hyundai unveiled its Veloster coupe at the 2011 Detroit Motor Show. So, what's with the 'scoop' title of our post, we here you ask? Well, this here example is the European spec Veloster and it was caught undisguised by our spies in Germany ahead of its debut at the at the Geneva Salon in the beginning of March.

If you have not looked at the Hyundai line in some time, you may have missed many of the updates the Korean automaker has made in just the past few years.

All New 2012 Hyundai-Grandeur

This vehicle feels pretty roomy on the move, and even at higher speeds it is extremely quiet. Hyundai Azera also boasts of high interior volume and a bigger trunk than many other rival full-size luxury sedans. Like all Hyundai vehicles, the Azera comes with impressive warranty coverage.

If you like cabin comfort, the Hyundai Azera's lengthy feature list is sure to please. A leather-wrapped steering wheel, power front seats, a 60/40-split rear seat, dual automatic climate control, and a CD/MP3 player are some of the creature comforts offered with the SE. Order the top of the line Premium Azera and you get a rear window sunscreen, a 6-disc Infinity sound system, adjustable pedals, rain-sensing wipers, folding side mirrors, and much more. Keep in mind that even with all of these "extras" the price of the Azera holds well below the $30,000 level.

The Azera GLS is powered by a 3.3-liter V6 that produces 234 horsepower and 226 pound-feet of torque. A 3.8-liter V6 engine powers the Azera Limited, producing 263 hp of output, and 257 lb-ft of torque.

The 3.8L V6 is the engine upgrade, and produces two hundred sixty-three horsepower and two hundred fifty-seven pound feet of torque. These figures compare to two hundred thirty-four horsepower and two hundred twenty-six pound feet of torque for the base 3.3L V6.

2012 The Hyundai-Veloster

South Korea's largest automaker is on a definite roll these days, especially in North America. Despite a U.S. vehicle market that's still in recovery mode, Hyundai sales were up by sizeable double-digit percentages in the first four months of 2010, putting the brand sixth in both car and light-truck sales, behind Nissan. This surge reflects Hyundai's traditional value-for-money reputation, but also a steady stream of impressive new products such as the Genesis large sedan--a 2010 Consumer Guide Best Buy--the Ford Mustang-fighting Genesis Coupe, a redesigned 2010 Tucson compact SUV, and an all-new 2011 Sonata midsize sedan. Even older models like the Accent subcompact car and Elantra compact car are holding their own sales-wise, and will soon get their own total makeovers.

2011-2012 The Hyundai Curb concept

Another Hyundai designer, Arash Badeanlou boldly stated “The world has never seen lines like this on a car before," adding "it is as if the architect Santiago Calatrava inspired it

The company has done consistently well in New York with a great number of cars being rolled out from its dealer stores every day. Also, in that aspect, Hyundai's Genesis has made considerably great business in New York. A decade ago, the vehicle giant sure made a very positive impact on the nation as a whole when they pioneered with their 'Hyundai Assurance' concept. The concept includes 24/7 Roadside Assistance and America's Best Warranty. The services have been extended all through 2010. They also have special car purchase schemes concerning the recent economic scenario also. This has made the company all the more popular in New York and that's explains why the car maker has done business better than any other even in this economic downturn.

2011 Hyundai Sonata

Sonata has delivered some pretty incredible results for us this year," says John Krafcik, Hyundai Motor America president and CEO. "Sonata is the Hyundai brand and it's appropriate that it has led our best year ever. Sonata's innovation has reset the most hotly contested, largest segment in the U.S. car market, with Sonata delivering more year-over-year retail sales growth – about 90,000 units – than any other car in the entire industry

2011 Hyundai Equus

Waiting in the wings is a full sized rear wheel drive car, the Equus. With the same standard engine as the Azera, the Equus also comes with a V8 and will be positioned to compete directly with the Buick Lucerne, perhaps even Cadillac's DTS. The current model, introduced in 1999, is undergoing a major revision and will be replaced in 2006. Hyundai hopes to bring this model to the US by 2008, although the Equus name might be changed. Hyundai is also looking at the possibility of creating a separate line of luxury cars and making the "Equus" its first entrant.

What: A large sedan that offers some amenities from the super luxury class for tens of thousands less. When: The car is already sold overseas; Hyundai now says it will be offered in the U.S. by 2011. Price Range: No price range has been announced. The Equus sells for as much as $96,000 in foreign markets, but Hyundai is said to be studying a pricetag in the $50,000 to $60,000 range for the American market

2011 the Hyundai Equus hitting the market later this year

We don't know too much about the Equus as Hyundai is keeping mum about what they have planned. Regardless, introducing a full sized luxury car into the US market is smart and knowing how Hyundai prices their products the car will be a relative bargain for consumers and more competition for Lexus, Acura, Infiniti, Mercedes, BMW, Lincoln, Buick, and Cadillac.
