Hyundai Introduces Allnew Flagship, the Luxurious Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HYUNDAI INTRODUCES ALL­NEW FLAGSHIP, THE LUXURIOUS EQUUS SEDAN, DURING NORTH AMERICAN DEBUT AT NEW YORK AUTO SHOW Miles Johnson Jim Trainor Senior Manager, Quality, Service and Technology Director (714) 366­1048 (714) 594­1629 [email protected] [email protected] ID: 27835 Equus will Showcase Hyundai’s Approach toward Intelligent Luxury Aug. 10, 2010 ­ Hyundai aims to break down the barriers of owning a luxury car with the introduction of its all­new flagship, the 2011 Equus. Equus will compete with the best luxury sedans in the world on all levels including amenities, performance, advanced technologies, design and ownership experience when it arrives at select Hyundai dealerships late this summer. “Equus takes Hyundai’s formula for intelligent luxury to a new level,” said John Krafcik, president and CEO, Hyundai Motor America. “We’ve applied the lessons in engineering excellence we’ve learned with Genesis to the Equus, while adding a new level of customer experience that will further differentiate our take on luxury from the traditional premium brands.” Equus broadens Hyundai’s lineup of premium vehicles and like Genesis, is built on Hyundai’s world­class rear­wheel­drive architecture. It is powered by the award­winning 4.6­liter Tau® V8. The Tau inside the Equus will produce an estimated 385 horsepower using premium fuel and 378 horsepower using regular fuel. With technology rivaling more expensive luxury sedans, Equus showcases features such as a lane departure warning system, electronic air suspension, smart cruise control and a Lexicon® audio system. EQUUS VERSUS THE RIVALS 2011 Hyundai 2010 Lexus LS 2010 Mercedes­Benz Equus 460 S550 Horsepower/ 385 hp (Prem.)/ 380 hp (Prem.)/ 382 hp (Prem.)/ Torque 378hp (Reg.)/ 367 lb­ft 391 lb­ft 333 lb­ft/324 lb­ft (est.) Fuel Economy 16/24/19 mpg (est.) 16/24/19 mpg 14/21/18 mpg city/highway/combined 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 38.0 inches Rear Headroom 38.1 inches 37.9 inches 39.0 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 4376 lbs. 4,244 lbs. 4,630 lbs. Price $50,000 ­ $60,000 $65,380 $91,600 PREMIUM REAR­WHEEL­DRIVE ARCHITECTURE When Genesis was introduced, Hyundai promised that its rear­wheel­drive architecture would spawn more products in other segments. Equus is the third of those products, this time riding on a lengthened Genesis architecture. Equus is 7.2 inches longer (203.1 inches vs. 195.9 inches) than Genesis. Equus 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, light weight body structure. The use of high­tensile steel in critical areas in the unibody provides Equus with significantly higher dynamic torsional rigidity and a lower body structure weight despite having a spacious interior cabin. WORLD­CLASS TAU V8 Headlining the Equus’ performance capabilities is Hyundai’s Tau 4.6­liter V8 engine, a two­time Ward’s 10 Best Engine winner, mated to a ZF 6­speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® manual control. The Tau V8 delivers an estimated 385 horsepower and 333 lb­ft of torque (378 horsepower and 324 lb­ft using regular fuel) to fit the demands of luxury consumers. This powertrain combination will launch Equus to 60 miles per hour in less than 6.4 seconds. On premium fuel, the Tau V8 produces more horsepower than the powerplants found in the Lexus LS460, Mercedes­Benz S550, and Audi A8 and nearly the same power as these competitors on regular fuel. 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. Up front 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 2011 Equus due to abundant luxury touches and passenger comfort features. This ambience begins with superior quality of materials and design layout. The leather upholstery, Alcantara® headliner, natural wood trim and leather­wrapped French­stitched instrument panel showcase the richness of the Equus interior. The seats are designed with adjustable driver thigh support, plenty of width, great range of adjustment, and heated and cooled functionality. 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 an optional 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 telephone system and much more. 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 meets the challenge of the wide variety of road surfaces drivers face everyday. For drivers who enjoy a firm ride and more stability when cornering there is a sport setting with additional body control. For customers who wish their ride to be a little on the softer side there is a normal setting for 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, that’s due to its 37.7 foot turning circle and variable­effort steering system. On winding country and mountain roads, 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 (P245/45R19 front P275/40R19 rear) tires offers excellent gripping power and precise control. NEW TECHNOLOGIES DELIVER UNCOMPROMISED SAFETY PERFORMANCE Maintaining Hyundai's emphasis on delivering leading safety technology, Equus boasts world­class active and passive safety features to help prevent accidents, and maximize the well­being of its occupants in the event of a collision. The Equus continues the Hyundai tradition of offering key safety technologies, with features such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC), nine airbags, electronic active head restraints, lane departure warning system and smart cruise control. Equus even has a Vehicle Stability Management system (VSM) 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 one­ second 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. LEXICON® AUDIO SYSTEMS TEAM WITH XM, HD RADIO™, AND APPLE TO OFFER UNRIVALED AUDIO PERFORMANCE AND CHOICE Hyundai Genesis and Equus offer a Lexicon­branded state­of­the­art audio system featuring LOGIC 7® technology. The Lexicon surround sound audio system includes a 13­channel digital amplifier and 17 speakers producing 608 watts of sound in 7.1 discrete surround sound audio. Equus also offers the clarity of digital HD Radio technology, XM Satellite Radio and iPod®/USB integration. PRICING The Equus will launch with a starting price in the mid $50,000 range. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA Hyundai Motor America, headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Co.

  • Class Action Lawsuit Alleges
    Hyundai Genesis SUV Shudders and ‘Uncontrollably Veers,’ Class Action Lawsuit Alleges June 10, 2021 Owners of the Hyundai Genesis SUV thought they were buying “true luxury,” but instead got a vehicle that uncontrollably veers off the road while driving at moderate speeds, a new nationwide class action lawsuit alleges. Plaintiff Dr. Barbara Feinstein filed the class action lawsuit against Hyundai Motor Company, Hyundai Motor America, and Genesis Motor America LLC Wednesday in a Maryland federal court, alleging violations of Maryland and federal laws. She says the trio are the designers, manufactures, distributors, sellers and promoters of Genesis automobiles – Hyundai/Genesis’ proclaimed, “luxury line of automobiles.” In 2021, Hyundai/Genesis introduced its first ever SUV, the Genesis GV-80, which is the Class Vehicle, and was marketed as being “equipped with high-performance capabilities that make for fun, powerful and truly dynamic driving on or off road.” Unfortunately, consumers have not experienced the high-performance capabilities that Hyundai/Genesis promised, Feinstein alleges. “Consumers, such as Plaintiff, who purchased or leased a Hyundai/Genesis GV-80 SUV, have instead experienced dangerous instability, shuddering, vibrations and uncontrolled veering of their SUVs, while driving at moderate speeds.” Feinstein alleges Hyundai/Genesis knew of the defects in the SUVs, and in June 2020 confirmed that it had to halt distribution of the diesel Genesis GV-80 SUV due to “vibration issues” of the engine. “Despite this knowledge, however,

Simply put, no other car offers so much for so little...” ~ EDMUNDS.COM, JULY 2011 GENESIS 5.0 R-SPEC in Platinum Metallic SEE THAT GRILLE? IT’S THE CHANGING FACE OF LUXURY. It’s funny how quickly things change. Just a few years ago, the idea of Hyundai offering a luxury performance sedan worthy of comparison against some of the most admired names in the automotive world might have raised some eyebrows. But here’s the thing about luxury performance sedans: They’re ultimately judged on very straightforward criteria. How artfully they are designed. How brilliantly they perform. And how intelligently they integrate new technologies. Deliver the goods, and drivers with an open mind will come to the same conclusion reached by the automotive press, who named Genesis the North American Car of the Year.1 Kelley Blue Book had this to say about our latest addition to the Genesis line: “Complementing its premium character with a megadose of pure performance, the Genesis 5.0 R-Spec served notice that Hyundai is ready to seriously raise the stakes in the sport-luxury sedan game.”2 Of course, there is one opinion we value above all others: Yours.

  • Clarence W. Dasher, IV Capstone-Hyundai: the New Lexus? MGMT 458-Professor Fowler
    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.
