If a Hyundai Sonata won't cut it in the office car park, the long-wheelbase Equus saloon could be the answer. Prices start at £70,000, making it the most expensive Hyundai on sale.

It's also the largest vehicle in Hyundai's range, and pitches itself as a rival for the BMW 7 Series or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The 5.0-litre V8 engine, Hyundai's most powerful yet, produces 406bhp.

If the chauffeur is driving, rear passengers are treated to a power-driven foot rest and seat leg support, plus a massage system in their seats.

A bulletproof version has also been created – three of which have been delivered to the Korean president, Lee Myung-bak.

Keen customers will need to make their own arrangements, though, because the car has been launched in South Korea and it's unlikely that it will be imported to the UK.
