The most luxurious Hyundai ever has just been launched in South Korea. The long-wheelbase version of the Hyundai Equus callled the Equus Stretch is the largest and most expensive vehicle in the Hyundai line-up.
The vehicle is longer than major competitors by as much as 310 mm. Backseat legroom is longer by up to 376 mm. The new model is fitted with the most powerful engine ever built for a Hyundai production car – a 5.0-litre V8 producing 400PS and 500Nm of torque.
Rear passengers will find they have the world’s first power-driven footrest (I know for a fact that MAS first class gets a powered footrest), seat leg support, relax posture control and a massage system. It’s quite clear that an airplane’s first class seating is the inspiration for the Equus rear passenger room.
There is also a bulletproof version of the car and 3 units have been delivered to the Korean President. Hyundai is the first Korean company to develop a bulletproof car with its own technology.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments generally express excitement and admiration for the Hyundai Equus, praising its design, technology, and status as a luxury vehicle. Several commenters compare it favorably to older Proton models and highlight Hyundai’s progress, innovation, and international recognition, such as developing their own bulletproof cars. There is some criticism of Proton's slow development, quality issues, and reliance on foreign technology, with calls for Malaysia’s national car to improve. A recurring theme is the intense Korean support for local brands, which contrasts with Malaysian complacency, and concerns about Chinese and other foreign competitors entering the market. Overall, sentiments are supportive of Hyundai’s advancements, with some comments noting Proton’s challenges and encouraging Malaysia to catch up through better quality and innovation.
