Scheduled for release in fall 2011, the Hyundai Equus will come with an iPad tablet for an owner's manual.
Hyundai’s new luxury sedan, the Equus, goes on sale in the Fall and with it will come nice option, an iPad. Well, they’re calling it a tablet-like device but it is highly speculated that it will be an iPad. Along with more information about the car, Hyundai announced at the New York Auto Show that the 2011 Equus will come with an Apple iPad-style tablet instead of a traditional owner’s manual. At Edmond Hyundai we expect to see these on the lot around August, 2011, maybe sooner!
“Although Hyundai hasn’t released many details on the system, it will apparently be searchable and is expected to include videos to help guide owners,” writes Left Lane News. “Owners will be able to book servicing appointments directly from the owner’s manual tablet and Hyundai says that the select Equus dealers will pick up and re-deliver customer cars while leaving them with Genesis loan vehicles.”
Hyundai is redefining service before the sale for the Equus, which is expected to cost around $50,000 to $60,000. “Interested buyers can have an Equus brought to their home to inspect and a dealership salesperson will do an on-site walkaround to discuss the features,” explains Automotive News. “If a customer buys an Equus, a salesperson will return to the buyer’s home later to discuss the car’s performance.”
Just for the record, Hyundai hasn’t even confirmed that the device in question will be Apple’s – they’re simply calling it a “multimedia tablet.”
