2014 Hyundai Equus vs. 2014 Lexus LS460L

    The Hyundai Equus surprised the world when Hyundai released it in 2011. It was the first luxury car to ever be produced in the U.S. by a non-luxury manufacturer. The LS, on the other hand, pretty much created the large luxury sedan segment, when it was launched in 1990. But both cars start around $60,000 to $70,000 and are very luxurious. But which is better? We will find out soon!

    It was very hard for me to pick a winner because I love both of these cars, but the LS lost not because it is too expensive, but because the Equus is even cheaper. The LS is still a very good car, with a base price of $78,440, it is considerably cheaper than a BMW 7-Series or a Mercedes-Benz S550. The interior is very plush and well-detailed, with available bamboo trim and an executive package that adds a center console that houses full seat controls and a cool-box in the back. 0-60 comes in 5.4 seconds from the 4.6 liter V8 that makes 386 horsepower.


1. Hyundai Equus

    The Hyundai Equus is probably one of the most strange cars on the market today because it is a full-size luxury sedan made by a non-luxury manufacturer. Kia just released the K900, another luxury sedan made by a normal car manufacturer. The interior has some little bits and pieces that very closely resemble a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW, such as the gauges or the seat controls. The backseat is not as comfortable as the Lexus but is more comfortable than most cars you will see on the road. The engine is a 5.0 liter V8 that makes 429 horsepower and 376 lb-feet of torque. 0-60 takes around 5.5 seconds.
