Furthermore, both models come standard with Smart Cruise Control, passive entry, GPS navigation, a 600 WATT Lexicon 7.1 Discrete surround-sound system, XM Satellite Radio, iPod/USB/Bluetooth connectivity, and an Apple iPad which doubles as an owner's manual.
2011 Hyundai Equus is powered by a 4.6-liter V8 with 385 hp (287 kW) and 451 Nm (333 lb-ft). The engine is mated to a 6-speed ZF automatic transmission. The performance is not bad at all - 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds, so Equus is as fast as the competition.
