2010 Hyundai Equus nearing Korean launch

Though the Genesis is selling okay in the United States, in this recession, you’d think one full-size luxo-barge is enough, but Hyundai is now preparing an even bigger sedan called the Equus.

The 2010 Hyundai Equus, caught in the wild by unknown sources in Korea, is almost ready for production and is 7 inches longer than the Genesis. It will be powered by the existing 3.8L V6 and 4.6L V8 engines from the Genesis, as well as a new 5.0L V8 with as much as 420 hp. It will have rear-wheel-drive, automatic transmission, LED headlights, lane departure warning system and advanced vehicle stability management.

Previous Equus models have been restricted to the Korean market, and it is possible that this new one will not be sold outside that region, where it will be priced as high as $96,000 for the top model.
