2013 Hyundai Equus

Hyundai's flagship Equus successfully competes with the best sedans in the world while adding a new level of customer experience to luxury car ownership.

Equus features Hyundai's most powerful engine ever, the direct-injected 5.0-liter Tau V-8 engine. This award-winning engine produces 429 horsepower and is mated to an in-house eight-speed transmission providing Equus drivers even more power and refinement.

Equus is the third rear-wheel-drive vehicle in Hyundai's lineup and boasts an excellent 52/48 front-to-rear weight distribution for exceptional handling and more refined steering characteristics. Equus reduces interior noise levels and improves ride and handling with a stiff, lightweight body structure.

The design of Equus is handsome and pleasing to the eye. The rear-end treatment is progressive with bold taillights, strong shoulders and an overall look of precision. The side silhouette is refined, with character lines that accent the rear fenders and a satin chrome side window daylight opening finish.

To assist in parking and navigating blind corners and alleys in urban driving, there is an optional forward-view cornering camera integrated into the grille.

The leather upholstery, Microfiber suede headliner, natural wood trim and leather-wrapped French-stitched instrument panel showcase the richness of the Equus interior. The seats are fully adjustable with plenty of width and support.

Equus has an optional camera located on the front grille and a standard camera on the rear decklid. These cameras help detect how close objects are when parking. Equus is offered in two configurations, Equus Signature and Equus Ultimate, both lavishly appointed.
