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.

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.
