Yes Virginia, there are high-end Hyundai vehicles.

While the Korean automaker is traditionally known for its smaller, more affordable rides, Hyundai also isn’t shying away from its efforts to reach customers at the higher level of the spending scale -- battling behemoths from Asia, Europe and the U.S.A. with their offerings.

In addition to Hyundai’s full-size Equus sedan, an excellent vehicle which I recently tested, they also offer another high-end vehicle in the mid-size range -- the Hyundai Genesis. I recently spent some time in a Genesis and I’m back with a full report on this redesigned-for-2015 luxury model from Hyundai.
