New 2014 Hyundai Centennial offers new comfort standards
With exterior changes to the stylish new model kept to a minimum, the interior sees a completely redesigned dashboard and upgraded, more comfortable seats. Noise reduction measures ensure the cabin is ultra-quiet, while premium features such as a Head-Up Display, Blind Spot Detection system, Shift by Wire and a Haptic Steering Wheel put the New 2014 Centennial at the top-of-the-class when it comes to the latest technology. And with a choice of 3.8 V6 GDi or 5.0 V8 GDi engines, drivers will certainly not be left wanting for power and performance.
Hyundai's flagship car has already enjoyed significant success in the GCC and Levant countries, where sales grew 147 percent in 2012, and across the world. In North America, research conducted by influential automotive industry forecaster ALG has confirmed that the Centennial holds its value better than its key competitors - the BMW 7-Series, the Mercedes Benz S-Class and the Audi A8.
And now, the New 2014 Centennial has been enhanced and refined in line with Hyundai's brand direction, Modern Premium, to offer more luxury, comfort and technology than ever before. The Middle East is the first region outside of Hyundai's Korean home market to receive the new model, and prices will start from around $ 60,000 for the 3.8 V6 GDi, and around 70,000 for the 5.0 V8 GDi, depending on exact specification.
Alongside a number of subtle design upgrades to the exterior, the dashboard has been totally redesigned and incorporates a new premium clock created in collaboration with luxury lifestyle design firm, Innes & Lister Inc., while the new center console sports a cleaner feel thanks to the introduction of a new Shift by Wire gear lever. The cabin exudes quality, with high class leather and wood trim all around.
As befitting a luxury car of this nature, the New 2014 Centennial provides the highest standards of comfort and convenience. The rear seats have been completely redesigned for greater comfort, while the front seats have also been adapted. Passengers in the back can now enjoy new dual 9.2inch LCD rear monitor entertainment screens and control their travel experience via a new DIS system.
For the first time, the New 2014 Centennial is equipped with Hyundai's acclaimed GDi engines. The top-of-the-range powerplant is the award-winning TAU V8 5.0-liter GDi unit, which delivers maximum power of 430ps, a top speed of 240kph and 0 to 100kph in 5.8 seconds. A 334ps Lambda V6 3.8-litre GDi engine is also available and both units are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission
