The new 2017 Equus will take the latest iteraction of brand’s 2.0 Fluidic Sculpture design and its also confirmed that will use for the first time and as we said exclusively, a new 3.3-liter Turbo with gasoline direct injection (T-GDi) engine, making it 15 percent more fuel efficient than its predecessor, the final output it has not been revealed yet, but according to the specs table used by Hyundai, this engine will have 365 hp.
First released seven years ago and partly modified in 2009, the Equus sold over 10,000 units a year until last year. The US-market debut could arrive earlier 2016, at the Detroit International Motor Show.
