The Hyundai Equus of the second generation came out back in 2009. Nevertheless, it was facelifted in 2013, the full-size RWD sedan of enhanced comfort is showing its age. Luckily, the automaker is testing a model which will replace it. According to the spy images, it is in an advanced development stage. The innovated vehicle should be more appealing than the current offering. Moreover, Peter Schreyer is a design director of Hyundai now. It is known that he has been doing a fantastic job for Kia.

Hyundai’s first-rate offering will probably be launched for sale as a 2016 MY, therefore it disclosing might happen sometime in the second part of 2015.
