Hyundai presented the all-new 2014 Equus for the first time in North America at the New York Auto Show.

Significantly enhanced both inside and out, this full-size sedan gets the Korean automaker's award-winning 5.0L GDI V8 engine, which produces 429 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque via an eight-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC manual mode.

Riding on a new set of 19” turbine-blade alloy wheels in a polished silver finish, the 2014 Hyundai Equus' front fascia has been redesigned with thinner chrome grille bars and new lower fascia opening strakes in place of the former chrome accents. New LED fog lights come standard, while the side mirrors have been redesigned and the taillight graphics incorporated to a more horizontal theme.

Inside, look for a restyled dashboard and improved control layout on the steering wheel. As for technologies, there's a larger, 7” TFT LCD centre display in Signature models, and a large 12.3” TFT LCD gauge cluster display in Ultimate models. A Blind Spot Detection system with rear cross-traffic alert is now standard, while the Equus Ultimate adds a multi-view camera system that provides a nearly 360-degree aerial view of the vehicle for optimized visibility and safety.
