Pics of 2014 Equus

[LanceP]

Here's a couple pics of the 2014 Equus. The new graphite polished wheels have grown on me and really make the car look more high-end. A service tech on the East Coast posted these pics and said this was a "pre-production" model and to expect them late September but John Krafcik (President of Hyundai North America) said the 2014 Equus will be available late June.. Hmmmmmmmm

I have a white 2013 Ultimate and I've talked to my dealer about allocating a 2014 Night Shadow Brown Ultimate. No updates yet...

Bummer. Hope they paid the freight insurance.


A boat carrying the first shipment of updated Hyundai Equus luxury sedans to the US has reportedly become stranded at sea.

According to USA Today, the Morning Spruce ship carrying 61 Hyundai Equus luxury sedans from South Korea to the US has lost power.

Boat-spotting website marinetraffic.com had reportedly shown the ship indicating a zero speed record for several days, first in the Okhotsk Sea near Russia, then later in the North Pacific. At the time of writing, the ship was no longer searchable.

Hyundai North America has confirmed the cars will be delayed, but suggested to the paper that it is unconcerned about losing the cars at sea as shipping delays are a regular occurrence. However, it will have to reschedule the launch of the car in the States.

Here's an updated link..

"Hyundai says the cargo ship Morning Spruce is on the move again, now scheduled to dock in the U.S. next week with a load of 61 redesigned 2014 Equus luxury sedans.

Morning Spruce was to have docked Monday with what would have been the first load of the Equus cars. Engine trouble at sea delayed it -- illustrating the fragility and complexity of global distribution.

The automaker says two other Equus-laden ships are due from South Korean soon, one Friday, another July 1."

I wish they kept the chrome in the front, now it looks pretty plain.

You can track Morning Spruce online and it left Western US short heading to Asia, probably that means that the vehicles are onshore already

Yup, looks like it docked a couple weeks ago in Oxnard and now it appears that it has returned to S. Korea.

That's awesome! Per the article, it appears there should have been two shipments of the Equus by now and then another arriving on July 1st. ... Hopefully some should be trickling to dealers next week! **fingers crossed*
