This system helps maintain consistent vehicle height and pitch regardless of load and road conditions, resulting in a consistent, comfortable ride. An available upgrade on the Lexus LS 460, Electronically-controlled Air Suspension is standard on the Equus.
The high-pressure die-cast engine block is entirely aluminum. A Tuned Intake System (TIS) maximizes power, while Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing (D-CVVT) improves both low-end torque and high-end horsepower. Further details like the timing chain drive system, serpentine belt and iridium double-tipped spark plugs help make the Equus more efficient.
Hyundai engineers designed this high-performance transmission with precise gear ratios and lightweight components to make it highly responsive and a perfect complement to the Tau® 429-hp V8. The Equus also features an Overdrive Lock-up Torque Converter for higher efficiency at freeway speeds.
Much more sophisticated than typical shocks, CDC is an electronic damping system that noticeably improves ride comfort and overall driving dynamics at the same time. Sensors monitor values for body, wheel, and lateral acceleration, then use them to generate the ideal damping forces for each wheel on a continuous basis. This minimizes body roll and makes acceleration and deceleration stable, steady and smooth. Like a more high-performance feel? Select Sport mode for firmer damping and a more responsive ride.
Stylish LED turn-signal indicators frame the front High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights. The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFLS) turns with the vehicle’s steering angle so that upcoming curves and intersections receive illumination. The sophisticated auto-leveling headlights also keep light parallel to the road surface regardless of vehicle load. The result is that the driver enjoys light coverage at all times.
Equus features lighting accents to highlight the exterior design and deliver a sense of premium quality and functionality. At the front, LED fog lights help you maintain a clear view of the road ahead. The LED tail lights make those behind you aware of your position and progress.
The Equus engineers had the enviable task of setting a new design standard for an entire line of vehicles. Starting with the distinctive front grille, deliberate lines continue from the hood through the body to show off the staggered-width 19-inch multi-spoke wheels. HID headlights with LED turn-signal indicators, sculpted front LED fog lights and the distinctive air intake further set the Equus apart in a field of conventional rivals.
