Most of the Equus' updates are cosmetic. Up front, it gains standard LED fog lamps and a new bumper. Out back, the tail lamps are new, while revised 19-inch turbine blade-style alloy wheels are also now part of the package. In addition, Hyundai will now offer a new Night Shadow Brown exterior shade.
Since Equus has long been about prioritizing rear seat passenger comfort, Hyundai has redesigned the back seat's center console and controls. Dual 9.2-inch high resolution screens are availble for rear seat passengers as well.
Underneath, Equus will benefit from a revised chassis. New front suspension bushings and an enhanced sport mode should give it a sportier and more planted feel on the road, Hyundai says.
Equus' 5.0-liter V8 remains, boasting 429 horsepower and 376 lbft. of torque, and its Hyundai-developed eight-speed automatic gearbox has been carried over.
Pricing for the 2014 Equus hasn't been announced, but it should become available closer to the sedan's on-sale date later this year.Â
