  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate. I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I love where Hyundai is going. It's amazing how well the brand turned around in a couple years. Before then, no one talked about Hyundai. Now they're everywhere.

    I purchased this car about 2 yrs ago-under 100,000 miles...I LOVE THIS CAR SOOO MUCH! To this day most 2019 brand new cars STILL DONT have what this car offers-THE AIR RIDE IS INCREDIBLE!! So soft...you can get a 2011-2012 for VERY reasonable price!!

    I was going to buy a Ls460L hybrid this week, but Equus would save me a lot. Instead of paying $101k, I'm paying $60k instead, with more features, and an amazing warranty.It makes so much since!!! I love it!!

    Shrink the trunk, elongate it, and allow both rear seats reclining capabilities. Optional bi-turbo v6 for better mpg, panoramic roofing, and make the fridge optional or relocate it. Otherwise very nice.

    The depreciation is actually a good thing because in the used car market they're a steal. You can get a CPO S550 for $45k with full service history, AMG package amongst other options and low mileage. I driven several times in a W140 Benz and to date it's the best car I've driven in.

It's too early to be making assumptions on this cars' success. Most people who are pointing out the negatives about this car are just nit-picking; like complaining about the chrome or not liking the design of the badge which are just personal preferences and not actual flaws.

  • @wotan20
    @wotan20 13 лет назад +1

    Not only the car, but the review itself was ultimate by its length and detail. About the vehicle: The care and attention paid to the rear compartment, lead me to believe, that the designers aspire to compete with Maybach and other chauffeur-driven super-luxury vehicles. So it's not exactly peoples' car, plus the timing is terrible since the NA economy going through a structural depression.
    PS Kyle, you should be much more careful about reving-up brand new vehicles' engines.

    I work at Hyundai part time. I wont say where. Ive handled the 14 model. I do like the TV screens mounted on the rear of the two front seats. It now comes with a 5.0 8 spd automatic engine. While Im impressed with some of the features, the 70K price tag is a bit much for it if you ask me. The Genesis 4 door now also comes with a 5.0L engine also 8 speed and looks similar.. If you ask me, this car was made for the passenger, NOT the driver

    • @therealjharris
      @therealjharris 10 лет назад

      At a certain point, it might be better for Hyundai to create a luxury division. Take the Equus out of what is an acceptable price point for Hyundai. That way, they can stuff all the goodies into it, charge it north of $80k, and seriously compete with the luxo big boys without being restricted by the brand perception.

      The frt camera only shows when activated and then is only displayed when you press the brakes and speed is down to around 5 mph.. Also turns off immediately when you take your foot off the brakes. Helps with forward parking and turning to see the curves.

Regardless of what all think, this car is better than ALOT of cars out there an ya'll don't seem to c that Hyundai has taken stair steps getting to this point with the new Sonata an the Genesis, they didn't jus spring it like VW an the Phaeton

This is a luxury sedan to be recon with.

    The international version of the equus is more prestigious imo for two reasons:

    2. the badge on the international version is a sculpted statue rather than a flat badge.

    @markkjay I think some people don't like the fact that Hyundai copies a lot of their designs. Some quick examples are the led light strips in the front (most manufacturers copied Audi on this) and the character selection in navi. (Audi's have a circle with letters {recently added a trackpad in some models} and now hyundai has an oval with letters around it) Some of their components like the gear selector, wheels, and grille look kind of cheesy in my opinion.
