Hyundai Equus to Appear at U.S. Auto Shows in 2000 Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HYUNDAI EQUUS TO APPEAR AT U.S. AUTO SHOWS IN 2000 Chris Hosford Corporate Communications Executive Director (714) 965­3470 [email protected] ID: 29070 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif, Jan. 7, 2000 – This year at auto shows around the United States Hyundai Motor America will be displaying the Hyundai Equus, a large, extensively equipped luxury sedan which has never before been seen in America. While the vehicle will not be sold in the United States, the Equus will serve to showcase the wide variety of vehicles produced by parent firm Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. While many American auto show goers are familiar with Hyundai’s current offerings in the United States, they may be unaware of the full range of vehicles built by Hyundai and sold in other parts of the world. The Equus display will allow the company to broaden understanding of Hyundai’s worldwide offerings. It was first seen at the Seoul Motor Show in 1999 and has been on sale in Korea for several months, where sales have exceeded initial expectations. The Equus on display has an overall length of 199 inches, about the size of a Cadillac Eldorado and a wheelbase of 111 inches. The vehicle is front wheel drive. The Equus is available in Korea with two engines, a 3.5­liter DOHC V­6 or a 4.5­liter DOHC V­8 which utilizes Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) technology. The V­6 develops 220 horsepower at 5,500 rpm and 215 foot pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm. The eight cylinder engine develops 260 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 261 found pounds of torque at 3,500 rpm. Only the V­8 Equus will be displayed in the United States. The only transmission available is a fully automatic 5­speed transmission. Some versions offer a manual gear selection override, allowing the driver to manually shift up or down the transmission range. The transmission is fully adaptive, adjusting to the driving style of the driver. The front suspension is independent strut while the rear suspension is a multi­link design. All cars are equipped with electronic traction control. The vehicle rides on 16­inch alloy wheels, with 225/60 tires. As befits a luxury vehicle, it is available with a wide variety of standard and optional features including solar­control perimeter glass, “Super Vision” instrument lighting with self illuminating dials, rear seat power outlet and trunk tool kit. Equipment available on the Equus also includes an in­dash TV or navigation screen (the TV function will not operate unless the vehicle transmission is stopped), rear compartment console­mount TV, rear shelf drink cooler which functions like a small refrigerator and DVD input jacks playing into an 11­speaker JBL audio system. Driver and passenger comfort is, of course, paramount and all seats are leather. There are power front and rear seats with backrest tilt and cushion tilt/slide. All seats are heated and there is an electric tilt and telescoping steering wheel. On some versions of the vehicle the rear seats have available fold­up calf support and the passenger front seat back folds down to provide foot rest for the rear seat passenger. Safety is also a major focus of the Equus. There are front air bags and front and rear side airbags providing a total of six airbags within the cabin. Xenon headlights provide superb night visibility. In the rear bumper sensors are mounted so that if an object is too close when the vehicle backs up the sensors sound a warning in the cabin to alert the driver. In Korea the Equus is available in two models. The short wheelbase vehicle, described above and on display in the U.S. and a long wheelbase vehicle of limousine proportions. That model has a wheelbase of 121 inches and an overall length of 210 inches. Hyundai Motor America, based in Fountain Valley, Calif., is a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company of Korea. Hyundai cars are distributed in the United States by Hyundai Motor America and are sold and serviced through nearly 500 dealerships nationwide. # # # Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HYUNDAI EQUUS TO APPEAR AT U.S. AUTO SHOWS IN 2000 Chris Hosford Corporate Communications Executive Director (714) 965­3470 [email protected] ID: 29070 FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif, Jan. 7, 2000 – This year at auto shows around the United States Hyundai Motor America will be displaying the Hyundai Equus, a large, extensively equipped luxury sedan which has never before been seen in America.

    Hyundai Motor America 10550 Talbert Ave, Fountain Valley, CA 92708 MEDIA WEBSITE: HyundaiNews.com CORPORATE WEBSITE: HyundaiUSA.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIVE HYUNDAI MODELS NAMED “MOST LOVED” BY STRATEGIC VISION Jim Trainor Director (714) 594­1629 [email protected] ID: 40453 Hyundai with More “Loved” Vehicles than Any Other Brand FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 14, 2014 – In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the Hyundai Elantra GT, Sonata, Genesis, Equus, and Santa Fe have all been named to Strategic Vision’s list of the “Most Loved Vehicles in America.” With five “loved” cars, Hyundai has more than any other brand. This report, from research­based consultancy Strategic Vision, demonstrates how hard people can fall in love with the cars they drive. These five Hyundai vehicles ranked “Most Loved” in their respective segments as rated by new vehicle buyers: Small Multi­ Function Car (Elantra GT), Mid­Size Car (Sonata), Near­Luxury Car (Genesis), Luxury Car (Equus), and Mid­Size CUV (Santa Fe). 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. Hyundai’s results demonstrate its commitment to customers and in turn their loyalty.” “Love” scores are calculated using attributes delivered by the vehicle and the dealership experiences – commitment, overall satisfaction, total top emotional responses, proposed repurchase loyalty and actual repurchase loyalty – to provide a Most Loved Index™.

  • 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.
