The first generation Hyundai Equus was manufactured from 1999 until 2009 with a facelift in 2003. This black Beijing car is a pre-facelift example. The Equus was developed in tandem with the Mitsubishi Proudia, part of a larger cooperation project between Hyundai and Mitsubishi.

The Equus was only sold in South Korea, the Middle East, and in China. A very few were sold in Europe, where the Equus was badged as Centennial.

There were various engines available: 3.0 V6, 3.3 V6, 3.5 V6, 3.8 V6, and a big ‘n badass 4.5 liter V8. The 3.0 and 3.5 were developed by Hyundai, the other engines by Mitsubishi. Our car has the 3.5 Sigma V6 under the bonnet, good for an output of 200hp and 290nm. Transmission is a five-speed automatic, sending horses to the front wheels.

Earlier on we met another sedan in Beijing and a limousine in Shanghai.

It looks so much like a rear-wheel drive car, but it isn’t. Design is very pure and simple, and therefore still attractive today, and possibly classic tomorrow. Very square, very straight; very strong.

The interior is in a great condition too. Leather almost as new and the wood is good. Small screen for the infotainment is controlled by a joy stick. Music system has a CD player and a cassette player.
