2012 Hyundai Equus Continues to Redefine Intelligent Luxury Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 2012 HYUNDAI EQUUS CONTINUES TO REDEFINE INTELLIGENT LUXURY Derek Joyce Product Public Relations Manager (714) 594­1728 [email protected] ID: 32732 New 5.0­Liter Engine and Eight­Speed Transmission FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 28, 2011 – Hyundai’s flagship Equus successfully competes with the best sedans in the world, while adding a new level of customer experience to luxury car ownership. Since its introduction, Equus has outpaced its sales and market share expectations. Enhancements to the 2012 model build upon this momentum. Most notably, the 2012 Equus will now feature Hyundai’s most powerful engine ever, the new direct injection 5.0­liter Tau V8 engine. The new engine produces 429 horsepower and is mated to a new in­house eight­speed transmission providing Equus drivers more power and refinement. NEW EQUIPMENT HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2012 5.0­liter gasoline direct injection (GDI) Tau V8 engine Most powerful Hyundai engine ever with 429 horsepower In­house­developed eight­speed automatic transmission Satin chrome finish on side window daylight opening Power rear side­window sunshades standard on Equus Ultimate THE POWERFUL 5.0­LITER TAU V8 ENGINE The 2012 Equus is powered by Hyundai’s new 5.0­liter Tau DOHC V8 engine, producing 429 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 376 lb­ ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm, with a higher specific output (85.8 hp/liter) than its normally­aspirated premium luxury competitors. Maintaining its industry leadership position in 2011, the Tau V8 engine family was again named to the prestigious Ward’s Ten Best Engines list for the third consecutive time. The 5.0­liter cylinder bore was increased from 92 mm to 96 mm for a total displacement of 5.0 liters (5,038cc). In addition to the large displacement, direct injection technology has been added. This high­pressure direct injection system (over 2,200 psi) dramatically increases power and torque while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Compression ratio has been increased from 10.4 to 11.5:1 for greater thermal efficiency and output. The Tau also receives a revised bed plate for improved block rigidity and lower NVH as well as camshaft carriers and a roller timing chain to improve valvetrain stability. This new V8 engine still offers all of the premium engine technology from the 4.6­liter V8, including Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D­CVVT), a tuned variable induction system, and low­friction diamond­like coatings (DLC) on piston skirts, rings and tappets. Even with these impressive power increases, fuel economy is estimated at 15 mpg city, 23 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined. Displacement Horsepower Fuel Economy City Highway Combined 4.6 L / 5.0L 385 hp / 429 hp 16 mpg / 15 mpg 24 mpg / 23 mpg 18 mpg / 18 mpg The Tau 5.0­liter V8 engine is coupled with a new Hyundai­developed eight­speed transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual shift capability. The new transmission adds two additional ratios to enhance acceleration, shifting smoothness, and transmission efficiency by more than six percent compared to last year’s six­speed. EQUUS VERSUS THE RIVALS 2012 Hyundai 2011 Lexus LS 2011 Mercedes­Benz Equus 460 S550 Horsepower/ 429 hp 380 hp 382 hp Torque 376 lb­ft 367 lb­ft 391 lb­ft Fuel Economy 16/24/18 mpg 16/24/19 mpg 15/23/18 mpg city/highway/combined Transmission 8AT 8AT 7AT Length 203.1 inches 199.2 inches 206.5 inches Width 74.4 inches 73.8 inches 73.7 inches Height 58.7 inches 58.1 inches 58.0 inches Front Headroom 38.7 inches 38.0 inches 37.8 inches Rear Headroom 38.1 inches 38.0 inches 38.5 inches Front Legroom 45.1 inches 43.7 inches 41.9 inches Rear Legroom 38.9 inches 35.8 inches 42.3 inches Curb Weight 4,449 lbs. 4,350 lbs. 4,455lbs. Price TBD $67,130 $93,650 PREMIUM REAR­WHEEL­DRIVE ARCHITECTURE Equus is the third rear­wheel­drive product in Hyundai’s lineup and boasts an excellent 52/48 front­to­rear weight distribution for exceptional handling and more refined steering characteristics. Equus reduces interior noise levels and improves ride and handling with a stiff, light­weight body structure. The use of high­tensile steel in critical areas throughout the unibody provides Equus with significantly higher dynamic torsional rigidity and a lower body structure weight, despite having a spacious interior cabin. ELECTRONICALLY­CONTROLLED AIR SUSPENSION Driving dynamics are a critical element in every luxury sedan, and the Equus offers first­rate ride and handling characteristics without traditional compromises. Equus’ electronically controlled air suspension tackles the wide variety of road surfaces drivers face every day. For drivers who enjoy a firm ride and more stability when cornering, there is a sport setting with additional body control. For drivers who wish their ride to be a little on the softer side, the normal setting offers more ride compliance. In urban areas, the Equus is easy to maneuver and park, thanks to excellent steering and its electronic parking assist feature. While the Equus is large, it doesn't feel over­sized or clumsy due to its 39.6 foot turning circle and variable­effort steering system. On winding country and mountain roads, the Equus benefits from the precise wheel control delivered by its five­link front and rear suspension geometry. This geometry is maximized through Continuous Damping Control (CDC), which continually monitors road and driving dynamics and adjusts damping force accordingly. The standard 19­inch chrome alloy wheel and tire package with staggered width tires (P245/45R19 front P275/40R19 rear) offers excellent gripping power and precise control. LUXURY SEDAN STYLE WITH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES The design of the Equus is handsome and pleasing to the eye. The rear­end treatment is progressive with bold taillights, strong shoulders and an overall look of precision. This look is accomplished through fully­integrated asymmetrical exhaust tips and rear LED turn signal indicators. The side silhouette is refined, with character lines that accent the rear fenders and a new satin chrome side window daylight opening finish. Upfront is a subtle horizontal radiator grille and well­proportioned headlamps with jeweled detailing. LED turn signals are inside the HID headlamps along with an adaptive front lighting system with white LED position lamps. The lower air intakes are bold and add to the positive reaction of the overall design. To assist in parking and navigating blind corners and alleys in urban driving, there is an optional forward­view cornering camera integrated into the grille. CUTTING EDGE HUMAN TECHNOLOGY The busy executive as well as the couple heading out on the town will feel right at home in the 2012 Equus due to abundant luxury touches and passenger comfort features. This ambience begins with superior quality materials and design layout. The leather upholstery, Microfiber suede headliner, natural wood trim and leather­wrapped French­stitched instrument panel showcase the richness of the Equus interior. The seats are fully adjustable with plenty of width and support. Thermoelectric devices located in the seat backs and bottom cushions provide control for heating, cooling and humidity. There is ample leg and head room for drivers over six­feet tall and a massaging driver seat. In fact, Equus has more leg, head and shoulder room in the front and rear seats than the Lexus LS460. The driver’s cockpit boasts an abundance of features and premium services. The Driver Information System (DIS) provides navigation, XM Satellite Radio, HD Radio technology, hands­free Bluetooth phone system and much more. NEW TECHNOLOGIES DELIVER UNCOMPROMISED SAFETY PERFORMANCE Equus maintains Hyundai’s emphasis on delivering leading safety technology, boasting world­class active and passive safety features to help prevent accidents, and maximize the well­being of its occupants in the event of a collision. Named a 2011 “TOP SAFETY PICK” by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Equus continues the Hyundai tradition of offering key safety technologies, with features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), nine airbags, electronic active front head restraints, lane departure warning system and smart cruise control. Equus even has a Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system that optimally manages ESC, the electronic parking brake, smart cruise control and the seatbelt tensioning system for optimal safety. Equus’ total of nine airbags include advanced dual front airbags, front and rear seat­mounted side­impact airbags, roof­mounted side curtain airbags for both front and rear outboard seat occupants and a driver’s knee airbag. Hyundai’s lane departure warning system offers a warning light and chime after a one­second lane departure, and adds a haptic warning via the seatbelt after a three second lane departure. Smart cruise control automatically manages the Equus’ speed through the braking and throttle systems to maintain a specified following distance selected by the driver. The electronic parking brake with automatic vehicle hold enables the parking brake to hold the vehicle automatically when the vehicle stops, and deactivates as soon as the gas pedal is pressed. Equus has an optional camera located on the front grille and a standard camera on the rear decklid. These cameras help detect how close objects are when parking. Distance is indicated on the in­dash LCD monitor. Equus is brought to a halt by large four­wheel anti­lock disc brakes with Brake Assist and Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). The 13.6­inch front rotors have four­piston fixed calipers and the rear brakes feature 12.4­inch rotors with single floating piston calipers.

Not only did Equus win its category, but it was also the second highest scoring vehicle overall, behind only the Tesla Model S. “Hyundai owners really love their cars,” said Alexander Edwards, president, Strategic Vision. “They had more segment winners in cars than any other brand and Hyundai’s Equus premium sedan finished second overall. ‘Love’ should be on any brand’s internal scorecard and is the pinnacle of achievement.

    Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: The New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler Hyundai…Luxury? A few years ago, the words “Hyundai” and “luxury” would never have been thought of in the same sentence. However, based on their steady success over the last several years, luxury may not be such a far cry for the South Korean automaker. According to Time Magazine, “Hyundai has been the world's fastest-growing major automaker since 1999”1 (Time Magazine, 2005). Its plethora of affordable vehicles, 10 year/100,000 mile warranty, unmistakable design, reliability, and constant product improvements have all contributed to its position as a top contender in the value brand segment. But, being able to compete on the same level with with the likes of other value manufacturers such as Toyota, Honda, and Ford is only one aspect of Hyundai’s quest to be a global force in the automotive market, especially in America. Hyundai has recently set its sights on the luxury segment which would effectively have the company competing with coveted luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, and BMW. This move is not meant to alienate Hyundai’s highly lucrative customer base, but rather should be thought of as the next progression in Hyundai’s strategy to reinvent how consumers perceive their brand. In following this strategy, Hyundai has made certain moves reminiscent of Toyota in their development of their highly successful luxury brand, Lexus, in the early 1990s.
