After all the sketches released by Hyundai, the 2010 Equus large-luxury Korean sedan has been unveiled ahead of its Geneva debut.

The new 2010 Hyundai Equus will be available with same two engine choices from the Hyundai Genesis sedan. The base model will be powered by a 290-hp 3.8L V6, while the range topping will get the 368-hp 4.6L V8.

The previous generation Hyundai Equus was a Mitsubishi-designed sedan that was exclusively sold in Korea, Middle East, China and some parts of Southern Asia - a few units were even exported to Europe. The new 2010 Hyundai Equus is expected to have further reach under the Genesis brand and may even make it to the U.S. and other European regions. The new Equus will arrive in Korean dealerships on March 3.

Let us know what you think of the 2010 Equus in the comments section after the jump.

    Very very very beautiful. good job Hyundai. Although I'd like to say that it has a very Mercedes-Benz S-Class look from the from and very Acura RL-ish from the back.

  • Eric

    it's good in looking; however, i'd love to see Hyundai to make something with its own style. This car is just a mixture of several luxury sedans that we can easily tell….front from S-Class, Exhaust from LS….even the creature on the grille looks Rolls….

  • Josh

    all i can say is where is this luxury all coming from i mean when i think of hyundai i think cheap.

    And the copy cat loos look nice but really lack design and are not original at all and i mean who r they fooling an S Class is about 100 times nicer than any Hyundai on the road

  • Pat

    Josh, i agree…but the S-Class also costs 100 times more than a Hyundai.

  • Ivan Gutierrez

    Wow I had no idea an S-Class was so expensive. Thanks for putting it into perspective for me Pat. Ha ha jk

    If you state your opinion in that tone, I would assume you do not know a thing about product designing process. (eg. conservative but normalized and have-been-successful designs vs. radical, controversial, and risky design concepts when the target would be the general population)
    I dont think of car designing as so much of an original artistic statement, but rather a more practical, good-to-look-at shell of a locomotion machinery (in addition to function, of course). Or in other words, when it comes to designing something that everyone has to have nowadays, form, function, and popularity seems to come before pure stylistic achievements.

    just my reasoned opinion/response to your seemingly-unreasonable discrimination of a bad car company.

    btw I HIGHLY doubt that an S would be THAT much better. maybe a little bit, but not that much. I bet if they blindfold you, you prob couldnt even tell the diff.
