In creating our flagship model, Hyundai’s band of imaginative
engineers made one thing perfectly clear: A conventional approach
to combining high performance and luxury would not be the
starting point. Not when the aim is an immersive driving experience
unlike any other.
From a clean sheet of possibilities, the Hyundai Equus emerged to
reward drivers with a category-defining 429-horsepower engine.
A spacious cabin beautifully crafted in leather and wood. And
a staggering number of standard features that are anything but
standard. There’s a 12-way adjustable heated and cooled driver seat.
An available power first-class reclining right rear passenger seat
with air cell massage. Surround-sound audio with 17 speakers. Rear
backup and front-view cornering cameras. Large LCD monitors for
front and backseat passengers. A rear-console refrigerator for
storing refreshments. And much more.
To heighten this new kind of luxury even further, Hyundai created
an exclusive ownership program called “At Your Service”. Owning an
Equus means you may never have to set foot in our service center.
Not for an oil change. Not for a tune-up. When it’s time for service,
contact us by phone or through your Equus Owner Experience iPad
app, and we’ll come to you. Deliver a courtesy replacement vehicle.
And return your Equus when it’s ready.

With Equus, Hyundai demonstrates not only its pinnacle of luxury
car engineering, but a new kind of luxury altogether. Where cache is
derived from discovering a new path to driving pleasure. And where
the most important peer group you are looking to impress is yourself.

In shaping Equus, our designers sought to wrap its exceptional
engineering within a body that is both beautiful and functional.
You see it in the car’s eyes: Artful LED accents that surround auto-
leveling High Intensity Discharge Xenon headlights. You feel it in
the superior handling that a staggered-width design lends the car’s
19-inch chrome wheels.
From every angle, the lines that define Equus were designed to be
a study in power forged from grace. What emerged from the wind
tunnel was a shape so pure, it yields a drag coefficient of just 0.27
– remarkably low for a luxury sedan – which helps save fuel and
silence intrusive wind noise.
What sets Equus apart is how it translates each of these details into
an enveloping sensory experience for driver and passengers alike.
It’s everything you’ve ever hoped for in a flagship luxury sedan.
Which may explain why J.D. Power and Associates designated
Equus as being the “Highest Ranked Vehicle Appeal Among Large
Premium Cars” in 2011.
