HYUNDAI Equus 2013 - 2016

Generation Information

Body style: None

Segment: None

The Korean manufacturer Hyundai already had the Genesis premium brand but it still made a car that could compete with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class in 2012.
It was the Hyundai Equus, a bargain luxury car.

Some cars were so impressive that nobody asked for the brand and just assume that it was expensive and it might be something special. Or an exclusive unknown brand. Hyundai cannot be called an unknown brand for normal people. But the Equus, doesn’t show the italic H badge on it. It just said Equus. Or not even that, if the buyer chose to remove the badges.

On the outside, there was a bit of confusion if the big, luxurious, sedan was a Lexus or a special series of Mercedes-Benz or something else. That something else was closer to reality. The headlights shape can be considered a mix between those found into an S-Class and those installed on an LS series. The Equus was available with a 3045 mm (120”) wheelbase or, a 3345 mm (131.7”) long wheelbase. That was more than enough legroom. The rear seats were available with a bench for three or with two places and a refrigerator in between the occupants.

Under the hood, a big V8 gasoline engine was installed and it had the same power output as a Mercedes-Benz S500. Would that be a coincidence? The car was great, but people didn’t buy it, and, in 2016, it was stopped from the production lines.
