Something is fashionable, like compact hatchbacks, something goes out of fashion, like family minivans, and something will be forever, like big comfortable sedans. Hyundai-Kia managers seem to grab everything on the fly, so that each new model is better, a head higher and preferable to their European competitors. The Equus model was produced by connoisseurs for connoisseurs.
In 2010, Ecus saw the light. The flagship does not have familiar identification marks. Branded emblems are replaced by new. This is an exclusively marketing move, because such an advanced car in every sense does not fit with the image of the company that it has earned in recent years in the production of available cars that are clearly far from the premium segment.
No exterior element does not give out a Korean car. Smooth body lines and generous chrome decoration, large headlights and a massive radiator grille – rather, the features of a Mercedes or Lexus.
The cabin is still better. High -quality skin and such plastic are used here, which, perhaps, you will not see in European premiums. Of course, the design resembles expensive models of the company, but there are no familiar recognizable lines from the last Rio or Santa Fe here. Everything is exclusively of its own, exclusive. Even the quality of wooden decoration is beyond praise and, comparing it, say, with Rolss-Royce or Bentley, it will be difficult to find differences. And do not forget about the price segments of that car.
A long, squat and heavy body, literally, sticks to the road and does not cause discomfort to passengers in steep turns. Multiple control systems allow you to control safely both day and night. four.6 liter V8 for 375 forces makes a governing sedan similar to a golf-class hatchback. A leisurely and quiet start at the moment turns into a rapid movement, carefully controlled by a dozen sensors, a gearbox and several ECU. A year after release, a 5 liter motor appeared in the line, which makes the ride even more pleasant.
Ecus is an excellent alternative and a choice for those who are tired of the monotony of modern premiums and do not want to overpay only for the nameplate on the radiator grille.
