Hyundai plans to break down the barriers of owning a luxury car with the introduction of the all new 2011 Equus.  The Equus is qualified to compete with the best luxury sedans in the world on all levels, including amenities, performance, advanced technologies, design, and ownership experience when it arrives at select Hyundai dealerships late this summer.  

"Equus takes Hyundai's formula for intelligent luxury to a new level," said John Krafcik, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. "We've applied the lessons in engineering excellence we've learned with Genesis to the Equus, while adding a new level of customer experience that will further differentiate our take on luxury from the traditional premium brands."

The Equus broadens Hyundai's lineup of premium vehicles, and like the Genesis, is built on Hyundai's world-class rear-wheel drive architechture.  Equus broadens Hyundai's lineup of premium vehicles and like Genesis, is built on Hyundai's world-class rear-wheel-drive architecture. It is powered by the award-winning 4.6-liter Tau® V8.

The Tau inside the Equus will produce an estimated 385 horsepower using premium fuel and 378 horsepower using regular fuel. With technology rivaling more expensive luxury sedans, Equus showcases features such as a lane departure warning system, electronic air suspension, smart cruise control and a Lexicon® audio system.
