Hyundai Motor hosted a media-only test drive event of its upcoming flagship Equus today at the automaker's R&D center in Namyang, Korea. The invited attendees were able to test the Equus against the car's primary benchmarks, Lexus LS460 and Mercedes-Benz S550. The Equus is slated to be officially unveiled to the public on March 3rd.
The Equus heralds a plethora of technological items that are firsts for domestic Korean cars in the country. These include Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS), Parking Guidance System (PGS), Pre-Safe Seatbelts (PSB), Advanced Front Lighting System (AFLS), and TFT-LCD dashboard cluster with visual warning system.
The Equus is powered by either a 290 hp 3.8L Lambda V6 or a 366 hp 4.6L Tau V8 with 324 lb.ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The latter achieved a 0-60 time of 6.4 seconds and an average fuel consumption of 8.8 km/L (21 MPG). Hyundai will add a more powerful 5.0L V8, with a projected horsepower rating of 420, in a couple of months.
