sedan lled with state-of-the-art luxury amenities. One guided
by advanced safety and information technologies. And wrapped
in a body designed to quiet the wind...while leaving onlookers
speechless. All of that is just your ticket to the dance.
It’s 2014. You have to dig deeper, and think smarter. You have to ask
yourself: As the owner of a luxury sedan, what is it I really want?
At Hyundai, we know you want a luxury sedan engineered to do
what ordinary cars only dream is possible. But what also intrigues
us, as we suspect it does you, is the possibility of an entire car
company that’s engineered to do more. An entire company that
dreams bigger.
We’ve been creating that car company. Which is why, in acquiring
a Hyundai Equus, you’ll get more than just a superbly engineered
automobile. You’ll enjoy a highly personalized experience that
begins even before you become an Equus owner. Considering a
test-drive? We’ll bring an Equus to you at your home, oce or
wherever you’d like.
Owning an Equus means you may never have to set foot in our
service center. Ever. When it’s time for service, contact us by
phone or through the downloadable Equus Owner Experience
iPad® app, and we’ll come to you, exchange your car for a Courtesy
Replacement Vehicle, then return your Equus when it’s ready.

TO THE DRAWING BOARD.
Attend any of the world’s most important auto shows these days, and you’ll nd Hyundai
drawing a crowd. It seems everyone wants a closer look at how Hyundai designers imagine
reshaping the future.
Inside and out, the 2014 Equus reects our belief that an automobile’s sheet metal shouldn’t
punish the wind. Instead, it should glide through it, undisturbed. Our designers went back to
the drawing board, intent on evolving the details of Equus from front to rear. ey returned
with renements that include a new grille, brilliant Xenon HID headlights with new LED fog
lights, reshaped power folding side mirrors, revised LED taillights and new 19” alloy wheels.
Step over the illuminated sill plates into the Equus interior, and you’ll nd Hyundai designers
made signicant enhancements there, too. To learn more, inquire within.

HOW DO YOU REWRITE A SYMPHONY?
Information Provided by:
A luxury sedan is a mechanical symphony. Thousands of
elements come together to create an experience that’s powerful.
Soothing. Exhilarating. And soulful. One element at a time,
Hyundai engineers have made the 2014 Equus – a car already
lauded in the automotive press – even ner, with every detail
reconsidered until its artistry and functionality crescendo to a
new, even higher standard.
In the process, they developed more than 300 test models. With
each iteration, Equus was honed into a performance-oriented
luxury sedan capable of delighting the most demanding owners.
e smooth delivery of power from a category-dening Tau® V8
engine is optimized by uid shiing through a state-of-the-art
8-speed SHIFTRONIC® automatic transmission.
For 2014, our engineers also revised the ride and handling,
using Hyundai’s secret lab – our proving grounds in the
harsh extremes of the California high desert – to ne-tune its
Electronic Air Suspension with driver-selectable settings. At
the press of a button, Equus oers you a rmer, sporty feel of
the road. Or, if the road is covered in snow, you can select a
drive setting specically suited for those conditions.

429-Horsepower Engine

The torrents of power at your command flow from
advanced engine technologies like Dual Continuously
Variable Valve Timing and Gasoline Direct Injection. GDI
sprays a ne mist of fuel (highly-pressurized at a rate in
excess of 2100 PSI) directly into each cylinder of the Tau
V8, optimizing both power and fuel eciency.
Electronic Air Suspension
The 2014 Equus features a retuned Electronic Air
Suspension with automatic ride-height control
and Continuous Damping Control. Ride-height
control maintains consistent vehicle height and
pitch regardless of the number of passengers or load
onboard. At high speeds, vehicle height is lowered for
improvements in stability, control and fuel economy.
Continuous Damping Control
Equus minimizes traditional compromises between superior ride and handling finesse by employing
computer-controlled damping, which makes millisecond-to-millisecond adjustments to precisely optimize
suspension settings during acceleration, braking, cornering and uneven roads. And now, you can even
select suspension settings tailored for Performance (sport), Normal (daily drive) and Snow conditions.

A SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE.
We named Hyundai’s agship rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan the Equus Signature.
Aer all, a signature represents a very personal connection – and that’s precisely
the driving experience that awaits you. It’s also a way to tell whether something is
truly authentic. Equus Signature is certainly that.
It surrounds you with richly grained, beautifully nished wood trim accents. e
leather that covers the seating surfaces? It wraps the instrument panel as well – all
of it buttery so to the touch.
For 2014, a redesigned dashboard, instrument panel, center stack, shier, center
console and steering wheel controls enhance the luxury feel and driver interaction
even further. Every exchange is as eortless as the rain-sensing wipers with auto-
defogging that clear your windshield. A large 9.2” color display in the center dash
makes it easy to control everything from high-end audio and climate controls to an
advanced navigation system and host of other thoughtful features. A sophisticated
voice-recognition system lets you control many of those features using simple
voice commands. Proving that intuitive interaction is another Equus signature.
