The Hyundai Equus, known as the Hyundai Centennial in the Middle East, is a large luxury car produced in South Korea by the Hyundai Motor Company. The car is a joint project with Mitsubishi Motors who had their own version called the Proudia. It was introduced in 1999 as a front wheel drive[1] car that measures 5.1 metres (200.8 in) long and 1.9 metres (74.8 in) wide. A long-wheelbase limousine model is available exclusively for the Korean domestic market and was the most expensive model in the company's lineup, until the introduction of the Hyundai Genesis. The Equus was also mechanically related to the Mitsubishi Dignity for the Japanese market. The Equus is sold in South Korea, China, and the Middle East.
