10 Things You Should Know About the 2011 Hyundai Equus
#8. Behind the scenes are a familiar engine and an all-new suspension system.
First introduced to U.S. car shoppers in the Genesis Sedan, Hyundai's
4.6-liter V-8 is the only engine available with the 2011 Equus. Output
is rated at 385 horsepower and 333 lb.-ft. of torque when using premium
fuel; those figures drop to 378 and 324, respectively, when the tank is
filled with regular unleaded. The EPA suggests drivers will record 16
mpg in the city and 24 mpg on the highway. Like its somewhat smaller
sibling, the 2011 Hyundai Equus uses a six-speed automatic transmission
with a manual shift mode to direct power to the rear wheels.
Working in concert with the Equus's powertrain is an electronic air
suspension system with continuous damping control, a feature not
available on any other Hyundai model. Drivers can select either Normal
or Sport mode.
