Sitting in the 2014 Hyundai Equus’ backseat is nothing short of a spectacular experience. Our tester’s price of $68,920 with destination included a folding command center for rear passengers with controls for the heated and cooled seats, reclining rear seats, rear climate and rear audio system plus its own rotary knob for the dual 9.2-inch rear monitors; backseat passengers can even enter a navigation destination from the comfort of the recliners.
For everything the Equus’ backseat provides, a simple addition would complete the experience: more power. Not under the hood — 429 horsepower is ample — but more power outlets like USB charge ports or household AC outlets for rear passengers. The omission was noticeable when three adults and I clumsily shared the Equus’ single USB port for charging phones during a day of driving.
