Hyundai Equus customers: Prepare for pampering by dealers--and you get an iPad

Hyundai's upcoming flagship Equus sedan is packed with features to pamper owners and passengers: a rear-seat footrest, rain-repellent window glass, power sun shades, and massage systems built into the driver's seat and rear seat.

Equus owners will enjoy free at-home pickup of the car for servicing and a free loaner Equus for their inconvenience.
