The car’s shape was and continues to be conservative, with a long flowing form that mimics rivals Lexus and BMW more than a little bit. New headlights, grille and taillight graphics are quite nice, but don’t appear appreciably different.

Inside, a new center console and instrument panel is indeed more premium feeling than the previous model, with nicer materials and graphics. But the best place to enjoy the Equus is from the rear, as this is truly a premium Korean limousine, not a driver’s car. Rear seat legroom is vast; the seats are supportive and comfortable, and new dual screens in the front head restraints allow for each rear passenger to enjoy their own multimedia display.
