Redefining the sumptuous
Seating is a science. Inside the Equus
every seat is a masterpiece of design and
engineering. An interior environment with
the finest comfort and convenience is
provided from structural aesthetics
through appropriate arrangement of
genuine materials. Seat climate is
controlled by thermoelectric devices in
the seat back and cushion that regulate
the temperature and humidity, thereby
maximizing comfort and optimizing
freshness for the occupants. The rear
headrests have wing sections that can be
adjusted up to 30 degrees for passenger
comfort. The whole ambience is one of
pure, but practical, opulence.
Massage rear VIP seatPower adjustable VIP rear seat with air cell massage
system enables the Equus to meet every luxury

the extraordInary
The Equus luxury-class saloon has pure comfort and a seemingly
endless list of convenience.
Journey itself is a pleasure
The finest leather, superb sculptured comfort, power adjustment and tranquil space to relax allow the rear
passengers of the Equus to see the world in a whole different light without any intrusive noise or road shock.
Fingertip controlled air conditioning and audio system mean that each can define their comfort zone. A generous
rear centre armrest that opens to reveal a large cool box offers easy access to refreshments for the journey.
With this level of craftsmanship, you will always be left feeling that you have reached your destination too quickly.
Indulge in elegance
To enter the rear compartment of the Equus is to step onto the summit of executive luxury. Notice how the
superfine suede trim extends from the headlining to the door pillars and the rear parcel shelf. Lean back and
enjoy the rear 8-inch display, where your favourite movie or station is waiting. The sunroof opens to give fresh
air, or to just add ambient daylight. You need to work? Just push a button for the table on the front seatback.
It features wooden surfaces for an extra touch of true sumptuousness.
Electric side curtain Too much sun or not enough privacy? Whichever, the
touch of a button raises the rear curtain.
Rear armrest switchFor the rear seat VIPs, the twist and touch system
delivers the power to control their own multimedia and
comfort zone effortlessly.
Lexicon sound system with Discrete Logic7 The perfect ambience demands the perfect sound system. With 608w from 13
channels and 17 speakers, the Lexicon system has been tuned to the Equus to
deliver the highest audio performance in every part of the car.
PerfeCtly BalanCed drIvIng
The symmetrical balance of dynamics and comfort. A powerful 4.6 Tau engine and rear-wheel drive
system press the tyres against the road to squeeze the most out of every grain of automotive force.
new heIghts of Power
World class in every way, the engines of the Equus redefine
smooth, abundant power.
Masterful engine technology
With the Equus, performance is an art form. Acclaimed as
'2009, 2010 & 2011 Ward's 10 Best Engines (USA)' for 3years in
a row, the V8 engine is a piece of refined modern sculpture with
a world class power unit. By using a sophisticated high pressure
die-casting system, the compact all-aluminium Tau V8 incorporates
variable valve timing and a variable induction system for maximum
efficiency. It is clean and lean, yet still delivers a massive 366ps
with 44.8 kg∙m torque at 3,500rpm. It redefines quiet and smooth
driving, while still delivering outstanding power and efficiency.
Frugal but fastThe Hyundai Lambda V6 engine has already gained admiration worldwide.
In the Equus, it has been even further improved in its latest form. Increased
durability, reduced weight, lower noise and vibration levels and improved fuel
efficiency make it even more refined. The result is a magic carpet-like performance
delivered with 290ps and 36.5kg∙m torque at 4,500rpm.

harnessIng the Power
The Equus's silky smooth 6-speed transmission and rear-wheel drive effortlessly
maximise the benefits of its superb power.
Aerodynamic efficiencyWind tunnel testing delivers an ultra low 0.27 Co-efficient
of drag, minimising fuel consumption and cutting wind
noise to virtually zero.
Electronically controlled air suspensionElectronic continuous damping control in real time keeps
the Equus stable, steady and smooth, by increasing or
decreasing ride height for varying road conditions.
Precision, balance and handling
The magnificent handling, ride and road holding of the Equus are the result of interactive
development that matches innovation to design and engineering. New chassis construction
technology and high tensile materials have increased rigidity, while reducing road noise and vibration.
The suspension is uniquely tuned to the chassis, meaning that no matter the conditions it is working
at optimum efficiency. And, of course, there is the aristocratic benefit of rear wheel drive allowing
ideal front/rear weight distribution for balanced and precise handling.
surefooted CertaInty and safety
Advanced integrated design and engineering deliver
new levels of performance-matched safety.
Intelligence you can trust
The structure that surrounds you in the Equus has been tested to the very highest
standards to withstand impact, but equally as important, the driving systems have been
integrated to help prevent an accident. How? We call it VSM, the Vehicle Stability
Management, which combines the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Electronic Parking
Brake (EPB), Smart Cruise Control (SCC) and Pre safe Seatbelts (PSB) if equipped. The
SCC measures relative speed and distance to the vehicle in front through radar sensors
to control the engine and brakes in order to maintain a suitable following distance.
When the possibility of an impact is detected, a warning light and chime are activated.
When the risk is high, these are supplemented by the seatbelt shaking several times to
give a haptic warning (PSB) and the brakes are automatically set on stand by. When a
collision is impending, the seatbelt pre-tension and automatic deceleration with brake
force supplement are mobilized. All of this happens unobtrusively and automatically
without you losing any element of overall control.
Pre-safe seatbelt By automatically pre-tensioning in case of a possible
accident, the seatbelt keeps you in the safest position.
Knee airbagIn case of a heavy impact, the driver is further
protected by a knee airbag to prevent knee and lower
leg injuries.
Airbag technology
Nine airbags mean additional safety inside the Equus. Front side and full-length curtain airbags are
supplemented by a driver's knee airbag and side airbags for the rear seat passengers. Working together with
the pre-safe seatbelts and electronic active headrests, they provide a cocoon of maximum safety.
Smart cruise control (SCC)Radar judges the safe distance to vehicles or obstructions ahead and can apply
necessary braking force in an emergency. Once the problem has passed, normal
cruise control resumes.
