2016 Hyundai Equus Signature

2016 Hyundai Equus Signature

2016 Hyundai Equus

The 2016 Hyundai Equus is rolling into showrooms. Tempting luxury buyers with its blend of performance and elegance, the car’s price remains the same for both trim levels. Yet there is more to appreciate and more to pamper the lucky driver than you’ll find on rival cars at this price. The Equus has a stately presence that is enhanced by sleek, modern lines. A distinctive grille is flanked by sculpted headlights. The tire widths are staggered with bigger ones in the front for better grip. These are hidden behind multi-spoke 19-inch alloy wheels. Hyundai is presenting this car in five colors, including Parisian Gray and Manhattan Brown.

Hyuindai Equus Specs:

Fuel Economy:

13 city / 23 hwy mpg**

Standard Engine:

5.0L

Horsepower:

429 hp @ 6400 rpm

Torque:

376 ft-lbs. @ 5000 rpm

Transmission:

8-speed shiftable automatic


Performance

Aiming for status as a high-performance sports sedan, the Equus is equipped with a 429-horsepower engine. Every aspect of the car’s engineering is designed to make the car go faster with minimal effort. The V8’s lightweight aluminum build reduces engine weight. The high performance transmission, too, is made of lightweight materials. The eight-speed system offers precision gearing. The Overdrive Lock-up Torque Converter improves efficiency at freeway speeds. The air suspension maintains a consistent vehicle height and pitch. By constantly correcting for load and road conditions, the car actually corrects gravity’s pull and minimizes wind resistance in real time.

Interior

Detailing and craftsmanship are emphasized in the car’s elegant interior. The cabin is lined with supple leathers, premium wood trim, and other fine materials. The dash is wrapped in leather, and the headliner is made of a high quality microfiber suede. Standards include front power chairs with thermoelectric technology. This system can control the temperature and humidity of each seat. Rear seat passengers enjoy their own temperature controls and leather seats that power-recline and power-heat. The Ultimate features power rear sunshades and, for the first time, the hands-free trunk opener. The Signature adds ventilated rear seats and power-operated side sunshades. Capping off all of this luxury, the cabin is extremely quiet. This was achieved through acoustic glass, sound-deadening insulation, and sound-reduction engineering.

Features

The dash features push button start, a large LCD gauge cluster, and a 9.2 inch infotainment screen. Premium navigation, smartphone integration, HD radio, and satellite radio are easily accessed via voice controls, steering wheel tab controls, and the car’s multimedia controller. Surround sound is delivered by a 598-watt Lexicon system. The Signature edition adds dual seatback screens for the entertainment of rear seat passengers.

Safety

The Equus offers advanced safety systems that take the guesswork out of everyday driving. The car features a 360-degree camera system for a scratch-free parking experience. A cornering camera and rear-cross traffic alert add to its capabilities at slow speeds. The lane departure warning and blind spot monitor can be right in front of you on the Heads-up display. Smart Cruise Control acts as your copilot, reducing the stress of stop-and-go traffic. At night, the adaptive front lighting system recognizes the car’s trajectory and widens the light to allow you to see the road as you curve or turn. If all else fails, nine airbags and electronic head restraints work to protect passengers. BlueLink can call for help.


If you are looking for uncompromising luxury, the Hyundai Equus is waiting for you at Crown Hyundai. Schedule a test drive and feel the power for yourself.

Hyundai Sonata in St. Petersburg, FL

 

The Hyundai Sonata probably had to trade in its trophy shelf for a whole storage unit long ago. It has raked in award after award for years, and continues to be the envy of its class.

Looks are Important

Have you noticed that the new generation of Hyundai Sonata is looking, well, not like a Hyundai? Well, these guys aren’t your mother’s design team and the days of being a wallflower are long gone for the Hyundai Sonata. If you find yourself ogling someone’s Sonata on the street, you’re not alone. Even the experts agree that the Sonata’s design is praiseworthy. The Chicago Museum of Architecture and Design and the European Centre for Architecture Art Design gave the Sonata its 2014 Good Design award. Not bad for an affordable mid-size.

A Real Value

Cars like this usually capitalizes on their good looks, but not the drop-dead gorgeous but level-headed Sonata. An entry level price with affordable upgrades show that the Sonata is no snob. When this car showed up to the party, its class competition was blown away. Basically, you usually can’t get a car like this without spending enough to keep you awake at night. The experts also agree that the Sonata is generously priced. The Hyundai Sonata was named a 2015 Best Midsize Car for the Money, Best Car for the Money in its Class, and the overall Best Car for the Money by U.S. News & World Report.

Safety First

The Sonata was named a Top Safety Pick in 2014 and 2015 by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. This is no small feat either, because in order to make the list a vehicle has to fare well in high speed frontal crash tests, rollover tests, and side crash tests. Hyundai Sonata also earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the government’s auto safety watchdog, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

It’s Basically Just Awesome

There’s not really any category where you’ll catch the Sonata slacking off. Kelley Blue Book has named Sonata among its top family cars and Polk has called the Sonata “King of the Automotive Conquests.” It has won a staggering amount of these kinds of awards for being an all-around excellent vehicle for its great performance, excellent fuel economy, reliability, and engineering. It’s an Edmunds Top Rated vehicle and if you check out customer reviews you’ll see that it’s not just the auto critics that are singing Sonata’s praises.

Greatness awaits. For a bargain price. Come see us at Crown Hyundai in St. Petersburg, FL — also serving our neighbors in Clearwater, Largo, Tampa, and Pinellas Park. See the Sonata, drive the Sonata, and if you happen to fall in love we’ll show you how you can make the Sonata your own.

Here are some tips for finding your next Hyundai:

 

Consider Your Budget

Money matters certainly should come into play when you are considering a car purchase. It is important to figure out what price you are able to pay for your next vehicle. Are you more comfortable buying a new car through dealership financing or can you afford to buy a pre-owned St. Petersburg Hyundai in cash? The choice is yours so make sure you can afford the choice you make.

 

New or Pre-Owned Hyundai

Some people may be able to afford a brand new Hyundai but prefer the benefits of a certified pre-owned model instead. With so many options to choose from on our new and pre-owned lots, you should weigh the pros and cons of buying a brand new Hyundai or a used model.

 

Long-Term Costs

Besides the affordability of the sticker price, you also need to make sure you can afford the long term costs of owning the vehicle you choose. These costs include new tires, new brakes, oil changes, registrations, and insurance. Larger vehicles may be more costly to maintain and repair versus smaller, compact vehicles. Luxury and sports vehicles may be more costly to insure. Consider the many options and costs associated with vehicle ownership.

 

Size Matters

When you go vehicle shopping, make sure you have a good idea how much room you will need for your cargo hauling, recreation use, or your family transportation needs. You want to make sure the vehicle you choose is roomy enough for passengers, your belongings, and yourself when behind the wheel.

While our St. Petersburg new and used Hyundai vehicles are manufactured to handle the many different road conditions we face each day, there are some things that can quickly do a lot of damage to your vehicle’s paint and finish if allowed to remain on your vehicle.

 

The worst of these things include:

 

Bird Droppings

Birds and cars have a long history. Whenever you are driving a nice, clean car there is likely a bird around to change all of that. If you park in a public area, it is no surprise that birds may take aim for your vehicle. The droppings they deliver contain a lot of acid which is harmful to paint and needs to be removed as soon as possible with a thorough washing. The longer the droppings are allowed to remain on the vehicle, the more damage it can do.

 

Sprinklers

If you park your vehicle within reach of an automatic sprinkler system, you will want to think of an alternate location. Sprinklers may appear to be harmless but the water than comes from the sprinklers contains minerals that will cause spots all over your vehicle. These mineral spots are actually difficult to remove so unless you can towel dry your vehicle each time the sprinklers turn on, you’ll want to avoid the water as much as possible to prevent these hard to remove spots from settling in.

 

Dead Bugs

Travel down any road in the summer time and you’ll come away with a hood filled with dead bugs. After you hit the bugs, their bodies excrete acid which will eat away at your paint and ruin your vehicle’s finish. Bugs can also be very difficult to remove without the right tools our professional service center technicians use so it is important to schedule help right away and reduce the amount of acid your paint is exposed to after encountering the many bugs flying around.

 

Finger Graffiti

Some may think it funny to write witty sayings on your vehicle’s dirty surface but it’s no laughing matter than the finger writing causes the dirty to scratch the finish on your vehicle. Such graffiti marks can actually become permanent if not properly washed off.

 

Keep your vehicle as clean as possible through regular detailing services at our dealership. We can help remove the tough elements that stick to the finish of your St. Petersburg Hyundai and restore the finish to like new. We can also add a protective layer of wax to protect your vehicle until the next service appointment.

 

Tire care should always be a routine maintenance service completed on your new or used St. Petersburg Hyundai but it is even more important during the summer season. If your tire tread is too worn to provide the proper traction, it will not keep you safe during the rain storms that are quick to spring up in the hot temperatures of the season.

 

Tire care is essential for the overall safety of the vehicle and its passengers. As tires are used the rubber tread begins to wear down. Without the proper tread depth, the tires are not able to maintain traction on a wet surface which can lead to a driver losing control of their vehicle during just a drizzle. A loss of traction is a serious matter that needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

 

Visit our St. Petersburg Hyundai service center for routine tire checks. We can figure out just how often you should have servicing completed based on how you drive, how often you drive, and where you are driving your vehicle. This will help ensure you are staying on the right schedule and that your tires will remain in good shape at all times.

 

Car owners should also keep tabs on the condition of their tires. Regularly checking them visually to make sure there are no bulges or other damage is a wise idea. It is also important to routinely check for proper air pressure to ensure tires are properly inflated for safety reasons as well as to maintain proper fuel efficiency.

 

Summer time also brings up other maintenance concerns that are important to remember. Due to the propensity for unexpected rain showers, drivers should always make certain their windshield wipers are functioning properly and that they are free from damage. Over time and after regular use, the rubber material of the wipers can wear down and crack. This means they will not be able to effectively clear your windshield for safe visibility.

 

Our Hyundai service center in Florida can handle your tire needs as well as all other summer maintenance services to keep you safe and secure on the roadways. Let us know if you suspect your tires have a leak or if your air conditioning system is not properly cooling down the cabin of your vehicle. We will evaluate your vehicle and perform the necessary repair work to get you back on the road safe and happy.
