Meet the Hyundai Equus – their latest effort in associating luxury with their marque. Sure they had a pretty good attempt at a budget luxury car with the Hyundai Genesis, but with the epic rise of the company, there sure is nothing stopping them.
And what’s more luxurious than a limo? And don’t think that all of this will be “budget” like the Genesis either. The car would cost around $112,000 converted when it goes on sale in Korea.
The Equus is powered by a 5.0L V8 engine that dishes outr 400 bhp and 370 lb-ft max torque. That makes the Equus the most powerful Hyundai.
It does need the power to pull quite the load especially since it needs to pack luxurious bits like electronic adjustable foot rests and massaging seats.
Also, Hyundai is proud of the Equus’ space. It has a longer base than other cars in its class. And that means a bit more leg room than the Lexus LS460L and the Mercedes-Benz S500L.
If you’re some government official or some C-level executive with a lot of enemies, Hyundai’s also offering bulletproofing.
