Hyundai Equus test drive since 2009 sedan

Cabinet on wheels

This car is configured for a passenger. Moreover, the right back. The hierarchy of places in the car is clearly visible: first the right rear, then the driver, followed by a passenger behind him on the left, and only then the one who sits in front on the right. The back of the chair of this rider is slightly smaller than the driver’s place here. The car does not react here even to an unsaturated belt. This is the modern view of Hyundai on the representative class.

Hyundai Equus looks impeccably: it is impressive with lines, shapes, quality fitting and how its interior looks gorgeous through darkened glass. The representative class is immediately visible. He is sports in profile, frying. In front and back is over. And it is impossible to determine what kind of brand it is, who produced it. And naturally, it is rear -wheel drive.

Creating representative cars archlical. The departure from canons and extravagance are inappropriate here. Especially when not everyone knows you. And therefore, the Equus is drawn similar to its other brothers: the classics of lines and decor elements are observed carefully, without unnecessary undertakings. Only two black and white are provided for the colors for the machine. Smoking is tuxedo, without options.

But, having gone, I was at first upset: mirrors! For the first time in a hundred years, since the time of unemployed Zhiguli, I had to twirl my head to make sure if I cut out to anyone. The left mirror increases and shows the terrible faces of SUVs and trucks on the full screen, although they are actually far away. And the right is ordinary, like everyone else! I had to get used to more than one day.

Made throughout the canons, Equus is impressive with noiselessness, soft move, high comfort. With the addition of gas in it, nothing changes for traveling, except for the speed of changing the landscape. Acceleration, with a full throttle, literally presses in the back of the chair. A pleasant roar of the motor is heard, and the car turns into a shell, which is not surprising 373 liters. With. and 452 nm. Flight!

With an increase in speed, the steering wheel becomes more firmly, allowing you to more accurately perform rebuilding and speedy turns. Potholes, joints of roads are transmitted only by sound, as if you are going in a super-modern soft carriage: Duc-Dyk. Such a large, obedient, comfortable car is pleasant to lead yourself. At some point, it even seemed to me that I was driving Bentley.

The designers provided for the Equus mode Sport. When I discovered it for myself, I only traveled in it: I still lacked the backwath stiffness and composure in this car. In sports, Equus disappears, the car responds faster to gas, and the brakes grab the discs more actively. Although the pedals already require delicate treatment. The suspension can be lowered or raised a successful solution for the clock. Naturally, at high speeds and in sports mode, the car is pressed to the highway.

Consumption 18 liters per hundred. In fact, you have two engines of 186 liters. With.! In Moscow traffic and traffic jams, Equus spends 2528 liters. They say that it is true that for such cars, conversations about expenses are not important. Equus, even the scale of instant consumption on the display ends 20 liters. However, if you go at a constant speed of 90 km/h, the consumption of fuel is kept at the level of 8-10 liters, as if you are managing a micro-lining, and not a huge liner. And what completely kills: this representative liner can be seasoned with 92nd gasoline!

It is nice to drive Equus in every way. But in it for the first time I wanted to be a passenger from behind all the time. The rear seats, especially the right, are primed to death to death. You go like in a soft carriage: quietly, comfortable, comfortable, detached from the world. What settings can be invented from your remote control. Without asking, you can, for example, move the front chair and change the angle of its inclination. And set your back at different angles. Make the pillow shorter or longer. At the same time, put forward a bandwagon or even put the chair into a berth. Massage, bar, refrigerator, table, microclimate. Here you can even sit on your leg. The table lamp with the lampshade is just not enough.

Sitting in the rear chair, I calmly read in motion, pounding on the keys of the laptop, not missing. And I thought: this is what car you need to travel. The curtains rise and drop automatically, through them everything that is done outside is visible, but do not see what is happening inside. The trunk opens and closes itself (naturally), it is roomy and sufficient for a classic baggage set, although it contains a battery and a full -fledged (!) Nap.

Everything is smart in the car. For example, when you open the back door, an additional shelf under the feet is removed by itself so that the passenger can freely go out or sit down if the shelf is laid out without it. The rear window curtain itself drops when the rear door is turned on, first of all. They say that Equus was done in the peak of Lexus LS460, but it was definitely written off from the S-class: the car is also intended to drive behind, and to drive it yourself.

The only plug is that while the car has not been recognized, those around him accept it with respect and elastic respect. But as soon as they see the manufacturer’s emblem, disappointment occurs. And this is the main sadness with Equus. It is difficult to break prejudices. As a result, the drivers or the owners themselves rip off the Hyundai emblem and put in its place another pegas wings, as in front. Otherwise, the boys will not understand. But I understand: the company undertook to openly break the stereotype of its own perception of the longest and most difficult path, but also the most worthy and honest. Calling.

There is one more advantage of Equus: it helps smartly hide his true status and position, look more modest.
