2011 Hyundai Equus

Large luxury sedans aren’t like economy cars; they have more features. Safety, comfort and technology are abundant to an extent unimaginable only a decade ago. Hyundai joins this select group with the 2011 Equus sedan, a V-8 powered, feature-laden vehicle built to compete with the Lexus LS, Mercedes-Benz S Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8.

It would be easier to list what the Equus doesn’t have, but beyond the now-expected luxury options of lane-departure warning, smart cruise control and pre-collision warning system, the sedan’s standard features also include heated and cooled front seats; heated steering wheel and heated rear seats. Staying abreast of modern technology extends to the interactive owner’s manual, which is on an included iPad. For details on the 2011 Hyundai Equus, visit Richmond Hyundai dealers.

The Equus Ultimate model adds ultra-luxury features including 50/50 reclining, cooled rear seats; passenger-side rear seat with leg support and massage system; rear center console refrigerator; and forward-view cornering camera to aid parking. Some of Equus’ competitors don’t offer those features. Information on the 2011 Hyundai Equus can be found at Hyundai Richmond.

Music lovers will appreciate Equus’ 608-watt Lexicon 7.1 discrete surround sound audio system with 17 speakers. USB/iPod and MP3 auxiliary input, along with XM Satellite radio expand the listening options. Along with the dual-zone, automatic climate control and air quality system, passenger comfort is enhanced by power rear window and rear side window sunshades.
