2010 Hyundai Equus
The premium full-sized Equus sedan has finally arrived in the showrooms of South Korea and more details were released by Hyundai. It has been made known that the Equus will come with two powerplant options of gasoline engines: the 3.8 liter V6 Lambda, which can generate 285hp and 358Nm of torque, or the 4.6 liter V8 Tau, which can produce 360hp and 439Nm of torque. Although these numbers are strong enough, it is still no match against the triad of German premium brands: Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz. This does not mean, however, that the Equus is devoid of any competitive elements.
Balanced ride is provided by the 5-link suspension paired with the Amplitude Selective Dampers (ASD) with the high-tech relief valve. It also comes with some technological treats such as the electric parking brake, lane-departure warning system, smart cruise control and a 3.5 inch monitor screen for the user info system. The Korean sedan will come with four trims and will be priced beginning at 63.7 million Won (33,500 Euros) for the VS380 and the highest priced Equus is the VS460 at 105 million Won (55,850 Euros).
Available later this year will be an extended wheelbase variant with a 5.0-liter powerplant. The Hyundai Equus is set to be introduced in China and the Middle East in the last quarter of this year. Whether it will reach the European markets or not has not been confirmed.
