COSTA MESA, Calif., June 13, 2012 – 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. Since its introduction, Equus has briskly outpaced its sales and market share expectations. Equus features Hyundai’s most powerful engine ever, the direct-injected 5.0-liter Tau V8 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. Building upon momentum from last year’s extensive powertrain upgrades, a new White Satin exterior with Saddle interior addition to the color palette provides Equus buyers with yet another attractive selection for 2013.
