REDEFINING THE SUMPTUOUSSeating is a science. Inside the Equus every seat is a masterpiece of design and engineering. Aninterior environment with the finest comfort and convenience is provided from structuralaesthetics through appropriate arrangement of genuine materials. Seat climate is controlled by thermoelectric devices in the seat back and cushion that regulatethe temperature and humidity, thereby maximizing comfort and optimizing freshness for theoccupants.

4.6 V8 TAU ENGINE

Harnessing the PowerThe Equus silky smooth 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive

effortlessly maximize the benefits of its superb power.

PRECISION, BALANCE AND HANDLINGThe magnificent handling, ride and road holding of the Equus are the result of interactive

development that matches innovation to design and engineering. New chassis

construction technology and high tensile materials have increased rigidity, while reducing

road noise and vibration. The suspension is uniquely tuned to the chassis, meaning that

no matter the conditions it is working at optimum efficiency. And, of course, there is the

aristocratic benefit of rear wheel drive allowing ideal front/rear weight distribution for

balanced and precise handling.

AERODYNAMIC EFFICIENCY

Wind tunnel testing delivers an ultra low 0.27 Co-efficient of drag, minimizing fuel consumption andcutting wind noise to virtually zero.

ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AIR SUSPENSION

Electronic Continuous Damping Control in real timekeeps the Equus stable, steady and smooth, byincreasing or decreasing ride height for varying roadconditions.

FRUGAL BUT FASTThe Hyundai Lambda V6 engine has already gained admirationworldwide. In the Equus, it has been even further improved in its latest form. Increased durability, reduced weight, lower noise and vibration levels and improved fuel efficiency make it even morerefined. The result is a magic carpet-like performance delivered with290ps and 36.5kg/m torque at 3,500rpm.

MASTERFUL ENGINE TECHNOLOGYWith the Equus, performance is an art form. Acclaimed as

'2009 Ward's 10 Best Engines (USA)', the V8 engine is a

piece of refined modern sculpture with a world class power

unit. By using a sophisticated high pressure die-casting

system, the compact all-aluminium Tau V8 incorporates

variable valve timing and a variable induction system for

maximum efficiency. It is clean and lean, yet still delivers a

massive 366ps with 44.8 kg/m torque at 3,500rpm.

It redefines quiet and smooth driving, while still delivering

outstanding power and efficiency.

3.8 LAMBDA ENGINE

Surefooted Certainty and SafetyAdvanced integrated design and engineering deliver new levels ofperformance-matched safety.

INTELLIGENCE YOU CAN TRUSTThe structure that surrounds you in the Equus has been tested to the very highest standards to withstand impact,

but equally as important, the driving systems have been integrated to help prevent an accident. How? We call it VSM,

for Vehicle Stability Management, which combines the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Electronic Parking Brake (EPB),

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Pre-safe Seatbelts (PSB). The SCC measures relative speed and distance to the vehicle in

front through radar sensors to control the engine and brakes in order to maintain a suitable following distance. When the

possibility of an impact is detected, a warning light and chime are activated. When the risk is high, these are

supplemented by the seatbelt shaking three times to give a haptic warning (PSB) and the brakes are automatically set on

standby. When a collision is impending, the seatbelt pre-tension and automatic deceleration with brake force supplement

are mobilized. All of this happens unobtrusively and automatically without you losing any element of overall control.

ADVANCED AIRBAG TECHNOLOGYNine airbags mean additional safety inside the Equus. Front side and full-length curtain

airbags are supplemented by a driver's knee airbag and side airbags for the rear seat

passengers. Working together with the pre-safe seatbelts and electronic active headrests,

they provide a cocoon of maximum safety.

PRE-SAFE SEATBELTBy automatically pre-tensioning in case of apossible accident, the seatbelt keeps you in thesafest position.

KNEE AIRBAGIn case of a heavy impact, the driver is furtherprotected by a knee airbag to prevent kneeand lower leg injuries.

SMART CRUISE CONTROLRadar judges the safe distance to vehicles or obstructions ahead and canapply necessary braking force in an emergency. Once the problem haspassed, normal cruise control resumes.
