New Hyundai Equus saloon is set to go on sale in South Korea. The car has been priced around Rs. 53.90 lakh, quite whopping for a Hyundai! The latest model features world’s first electrically adjustable footrests in the rear, and the Korean car, dubbed as a Limo, is said to offer unparalleled levels of space and luxury with electronically adjustable and massaging seats all round.
The long-wheelbase version of its Equus saloon is powered by a 5-litre V8 petrol engine that delivers a maximum output of nearly 400bhp. The interiors are also face lifted which include several luxuries for rear-seat passengers including a powered footrest, seat leg support, relax posture control and even a massage system!
The new model competes against BMW 7-Series, Lexus LS and Mercedes-Benz S-Class and there is also a bullet proof version available as well. The car would mostly be aimed at the export market.
