I got a chance to check out the new Signature 2014 Equus yesterday at our local dealer an hour after they received their first one and was impressed at the updates! (Black Noir Pearl w/ Jet Interior)
1. The new subtle changes to the grill are nice (has a gray-ish matte finish w/ chrome vs black finish w/ chrome)
2. The LED fog lights add a high end touch
3. The new interior is enhanced tremendously
4. The Nav graphics are like those in the new Kia’s ( i.e. Kia Cadenza)… Im 50/50 on this… The 2013 street graphics and markings seem a little crisper
5. The BSD (Blind Spot Detection) is a integrated very well
6. The outside rearview mirrors are larger and “Auto” Fold in and up when locking the doors and “Auto” Fold out when you grab the exterior door handles(Unlocking)
7. The front
wheel wells are “felt” / carpeted like the rear
wheel wells. ( I was always shocked that the Genesis had this but the 2011-2013 Equus had plastic front
wheel wells)
8. The rear HVAC display for the 3-zone climate control is very crisp and has a bright blue display
9. The new Turbine wheels make the car looks HIGH CLASS!!!
10. The new DIS and buttons have a nice high quality feel and use
11. The new front seats and a lot more comfortable than the current Equus seats.. Good job Hyundai!!
12. The new key fobs are the same as the new Sante Fe design. Very nice!! (Didn’t get a chance to see the credit car fob)
13. The new Signature instrument cluster is impressive and has nice start up/ exit graphics
14. Now when starting the car, the Nav goes straight to map mode instead of hitting the “Enter” but to agree
15. I love how they have updated the stalks for the blinkers and windshield wipers… they have nice strip of “chrome plastic” on the top of them
***Im not sure why the LEXICON sound system was rated at 608 watts but now is rated at 598 watts. Don’t know why they reduced it 10 watts***
