2010 New York Auto Show: 2011 Hyundai Equus Headed for States with an Apple iPad
Hyundai has put forth the effort to make the name well respected in America. Introducing a new Sonata that improves upon the older model reminds us of a much younger Toyota when they first introduced Lexus to the US. Maybe the decision for buyers lies in Hyundai offering a new Apple iPad with the purchase of a new Equus. That’s right, the new Hyundai Equus will supposedly get an iPad instead of an owner’s manual when it makes its way to the US shores at the end of this year. And of course you do not have to use the iPad just for finding out how to use the techno gadgets in the Equus, it is a fully functional wireless iPad. Who uses the paper-back owner’s manual anyway? I am sure I would rather use the iPad to read how the Equus has nine airbags 385 horsepower.
Could this be something that catches on with other auto makers? Maybe Toyota should try this one and we will forget about the sticky gas pedals, for now.
Hyundai INTRODUCES ALL-NEW FLAGSHIP, THE LUXURIOUS equus SEDAN, DURING NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT NEW YORK AUTO SHOW
Equus will Showcase Hyundai’s Approach toward Intelligent Luxury
NEW YORK, April. 1, 2010 – Hyundai aims to break down the barriers of owning a luxury car with the introduction of its all-new flagship, the 2011 Equus. Equus will 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.” 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.
