Today we received the latest set of spy pictures of the next-generation Hyundai’s flagship luxury sedan, the 2017 Equus. Spotted for the first time in production form in South Korea in December 2014, the car continue under testing program.
[ads id=”0″ style=”float:left;padding:9px;”]Now the 2017 Hyundai Equus car was spotted inside a South Korean parking while the front and rear seats were undisguissed and also the dashboard where we can see the steering wheel with the Equus logo, high quality wood trims, but part of the center console continue under a large piece of black cloth.
The re-engineered Equus will come with new sheet metal designed by Peter Schreyer including a redesigned instrument panel and center stack, along with a new front fascia and grille design and other updates.
The new generation 2017 Hyundai Equus is scheduled to debut as a 2016 or 2017 model year and will include a V8 engine, and All-Wheel Drive for the first time through an 8-speed automatic, Hyundai is also working on a newer 10-speed automatic transmission, which may become available by the time the Equus arrives in the market.. The current Hyundai Equus was launched at the 2010 New York AutoShow. Stay tuned for more info soon!
The 2017 Hyundai Equus will ride on a stretched version of the Genesis Mk2’s platform featuring a new multi-link rear suspension that was fine-tuned with a little help from Lotus.

Obviously very early spy shots, but something about the dual coloured steering wheel seems off. Furthermore, not to certain about the oak/pine (not sure) wood choice.
On the other hand seems to share cues with the Genesis, as evident with the chrome line that extends to the front passenger vent.
On a side note, stumbled upon an Elantra video on Youtube. Not sure if this a good photoshop, but seems to be the new Elantra with camo.
That car is not a new generation of Elantra. It is facelifted i40 saloon which has been selling in Europe and Korea.
Ah, so it is. Looks remarkably similar to the Elantra. I saw pictures of the facelift just this morning, surprised I didn’t catch it.
I agree about the steering wheel. It just doesn’t match everything else, too sporty looking maybe? But I’m loving the wood.
We found more spy shots, but with the same interior combination. So stay tuned for more new pics soon! 😉
