Sporty, Yet Luxurious New 2016 Equus Loaded with Tech and Safety Features
The Hyundai Equus has long been a success story for Hyundai, with successful sales and unprecedented customer satisfaction. For 2016, the Equus will continue to offer highly desirable interior and exterior designs, excellent vehicle dynamics, driver tech displays, advanced safety features, and new for the Ultimate model, Hands-free Smart Trunk with Automatic Opening.
The 2016 Hyundai Equus is a premium sedan, but still manages to pull off a sporty appearance at the same time. It comes with 19-inch turbine-blade alloy wheels in a polished silver finish. The front grille is a combination of thin chrome bars with alternating black out, for a sharp contrast, while the headlamps offer a similar effect along with jeweled design elements.
The driver’s choice of driving modes allows for superior handling dynamics. Normal and Sport mode each have a different ride and handling character—Sport mode offers more controlled damping, while Normal mode offers a more comfortable ride.
Each Equus comes standard with a 5.0-liter Tau DOHC V8 engine, producing 429 horsepower and 376 pounds-feet of torque, and featuring direct injection technology. This system increases power and torque while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Customer satisfaction is extremely high with the Equus because it comes with the unique Hyundai ownership experience, including tailored dealership showrooms, “Your Time, Your Place” at-home vehicle demonstrations, “At Your Service” valet service appointments, and an interactive owner’s manual app for Apple iPad. The sales and service experience you get with the Equus is unparalleled.
Inside the Equus, passengers will find an abundance of luxury and comfort, with high-end material choices such as leather upholstery, a Microfiber suede headliner, genuine wood trim, and a leather-wrapped French-stitched instrument panel. The seats offer amazing comfort; they are fully adjustable with thermoelectric devices in the back and bottom cushions to control heating, cooling, and humidity. The vehicle’s Driver Information System (DIS) offers navigation, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, HD Radio technology, hands-free Bluetooth phone system, Blue Link telematics, and much more.
Safety always has been and always will be the most important aspect of any vehicle. The Equus does not disappoint. It comes equipped with technologies to minimize distracted driving and increase driver safety, such as a Blind Spot Detection System, a multi-view camera system that provides an aerial view of the vehicle, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, and a lane departure warning system that sends a haptic warning through the seatbelt, along with visual and audible warnings.
Equus offers world-class active and passive safety features to help protect our drivers. Each sedan comes with features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), nine airbags, and electronic active front head restraints. It even comes with a Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system that manages the electronic parking brake, smart cruise control, and the seatbelt tensioning system for optimal safety.
Always ahead of the curve in technology, Hyundai has equipped the Equus with a state-of-the-art audio system featuring Logic7® technology. It also comes with the Hyundai Blue Link safety, service and infotainment telematics system. Blue Link provides connectivity and allows the driver to enjoy functions like remote start, destination search powered by Google, remote door lock/unlock, and stolen vehicle recovery.
The list of features and tech goes on and on for the Equus. Really, seeing is believing in this case. Stop by Heritage Hyundai Towson today to test drive the new Equus, or call or contact us online to learn more.
