The second generation Equus sedan was launched by Hyundai in Korea back in 2009. It was very well received there and in the States, due to the fact that it had rear-wheel drive unlike the generation before it, and a choice of efficient but powerful engines.
The 2012 model year update improved Hyundai’s flagship sedan with the Korean automaker’s very own 8-speed automatic transmission and the introduction of Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) engines. They also introduced a sportier model, powered by a revised 5.0-liter V8 with 429 hp and 376 lb·ft (510 N·m).
Thus, we don’t foresee any engine upgrades in the future, but a facelift is coming. A heavily camouflaged prototype has been caught testing in South Korea. It seems that the makeover will be just as radical as on the Genesis Coupe.
You’ve got a wave pattern forming in the headlights, most likely LED accents, as well as a quad bulb arrangement for each headlight. Most likely, the grille design will follow the evolution of the fluidic design language seen in the 2013 Santa Fe.
