Hyundai has definitely achieved the next level with this vehicle, I cant wait to see how well it will develop and evolve over the course of it's coming years
The Equus looks great so far. I'm sure that many loyalists to established brands will doubt its success at first, but then again Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti were newcomers to the world of luxury cars only 2 decades ago and they turned out to become respected and highly-regarded brands over the last 20+ years, especially Lexus because of all the variety in their lineup.
Okay so I wasn't sure about how I felt about this car, but this is why I love your reviews Kyle. I can watch your video and get a perfect picture about what the car is all about and the quality. I'm impressed (by the videos AND the car)
Thats an amazing car, it would be hard to tell that is a Hyundai. By the way, can't believe there are almost 1,000 videos. Congrats Kyle. Happy 1,000th video.
Even in 2017, with the look of this car and with all of the features plus the 400hp V8(2012) this is still the single best used or preowned buy(or steal??) in automotive history!!!!! Love it!!
I remember my neighbor waiting at the bus stop every day in her Hyundai Pony, back in 1995. I can't believe that 16 years later, this is the same company.
Saw two of these where I work and decided to look it up. I’m surprised that Hyundai, out of all brands, made this masterpiece. This car is the foundation of the genesis brand
Kyle - thank you for doing this video..I have been wanting to see what this car is like inside for a while knowing it is being compared to a Mulsanne..your indepth tour was great. Thanks!
I do have to say I am really impressed with the design and quality of this car. I'm not a huge fan of Hyundai or vehicles from the east but this one is really nice. Really gives the S-class a run for the money in terms of features and quality especially with the W221 which I don't like.
The emblem on the engine is the only way I'd know this was a Hyundai. First the Genesis -- sedan and coupe -- and now the Equus. Definitely amazing. And nice review video too, btw! : )
I wish Hyundai Godspeed with their new and highly respectable lineup. The 2012 Equus' 429HP 5.0L V-8 and new in-house eight-speed A/T erases any doubt of who offers the most car for your money, not to mention a very high content level of top quality components.Throw in the best warranty, which shows long-term confidence in the product, then top that with clever pricing, and you have described an unqualified winner!
There is great progress for Korean cars such as Hyundai and Kia have become two companies made cars compete with Japanese cars, American and German luxury. And the lowest prices
The Equus's overall personality reminds me of what Oldsmobile planned with the original Aurora. No Hyundai badges anywhere on the car, rich luxurious interior, and powered by a potent v8.
WOW This car has more luxury features than any German rival on offer I'm sure! If i was in the market for a luxury car this would be top of my list. Hyundai have stepped up and pretty soon they'll be overtaking the competition in terms of features and price. People who care about brands aren't car enthusiasts. A true car fan knows a good car whether it has the name or not!
I've got to say, this thing is absolutely gorgeous inside and out- and that chime- I could listen to it all day! I'd take this thing over a BMW, Mercedes, or Jag any day! It looks better than all of those!
I gotta admit, Hyundai has been stepping up in game lately, this car looks very luxurious, still not like the Jaguar XJ but Jaguar is a luxury company, hyundai is more a jack of all trades.
Not to be compared with S class, 7 series or Audi A8. But surely kills all the other cars around the same price tag like 5series. Hyundai's definitely opened a new market, having the luxurious features and performance of series with the price of 5 series
How does one disable the ability to raise the other back seat window, move the passenger seat and the volume control. I'm thinking that if someone is seated it will detect pressure and it will override those or maybe by the center console. What is it saab?
I remember old Lincoln Town Car's from the 80's had those dual window switches on the rear windows, except without the sunshades of course. Just like that white one Kyle did a few months back.
@LoveTheCity123 It's not really a rip off because this car doesn't even compete with the 5 series or E Class. It competes with the 7 Series, S Class, Audi A8, Lexus LS etc. You are probably right about it maybe becoming rare because we Americans like to get caught up in brand names. That's why I think Hyundai should have made a separate luxury brand for cars like this. Many people are not gonna want to pay so much money for a Hyundai.
The Equus sells for as much as $96,000 in foreign markets, but Hyundai is said to be studying a pricetag in the $50,000 to $60,000 range for the American market
I love the fancy interiors of cars. I don't even look at what brand the car is most of the time. I just wanna see which car is a better value for my money and which has the nicest interior.
lovely car thanks kyle i really have been waiting for u to get to this car, great interior, a exterior (the front looks kinda ugly) but all in all a brilliant car and a great video
@form109 Good point. But the Town Car is practically an icon. It's been around for a very long time & has a strong rep. for comfort, safety, & durability. Thats why limo co.'s & the police use these cars. It also helps that Town Car is the last sedan to be built body on frame instead of the conventional unibody
I got really spoiled of all the features this car has. Especially for those backseat passengers. Hard to tell if I would want that car or the jaguar that you posted before this video.
These are massive bargains that are worth every single cent. Bought mine with 44,000 miles so it classified as certified pre owned with a three years warranty and it was 12,380 dollars for it...and my God I absolutely love it. Smooth, luxurious and if you put your foot to the floor you will be flying down the highway (and the sound system is God like)
A lot of this car reminds me of my 09 C Class. Seat buttons on the door are very similar, the menu system on the Navi reminds of the Comand system as well. I a guessing this trumps my Merc in material quality, I wondering how the build feels though. The ones things the Germans do well is making the cabin feels like a tank.
@NavyAviation2016 Not the only car company, the Buick Rivera had its own emblem... Also if you look at the first two generations of the Lexus LS that was a duplicate of Mercedes also.
I plan on purchasing a 2016 Hyundai Equus Unlimited here in the Michigan metro Detroit area at the end of May. My biggest concern is it really worth $23,000 to $27,000 with it being a rear wheel vehicle that's also 4 years old. I've been driving my 2001 Lincoln Town Car signature for about three years. I like to know from someone who at one point owned or still owns a Hyundai Equus who'd drived it year-round meaning in the winter with snow and summer time if the ride quality is better with the newer technology in the snow. Ultimately I like to know if the Hyundai Equus is better in the snow than my 2001 Lincoln Town Car which by the way is over 5000 pounds.
Great man!!!! Keep doing your reviews !!! A lot of people enjoy to watch it !!!
Ok
Hyundai or not that is one Beautiful car!
Sexiest car I have ever seen
The sound system is the same in the Bentley Muslanne wow! I'm sold!
I don't know why, but I like the little chimes it makes in the interior, both before the car starts and after the ignition is shut off.
Hyundai has definitely achieved the next level with this vehicle, I cant wait to see how well it will develop and evolve over the course of it's coming years
One of the greatest cars
This car is amazing we have a white one I am in love with it I recommend this car
They're a steal used now
hey do you still have it? I want one so bad but donty know if its worth at this age.
@@vulted_9572i just got one and i love it
The Equus looks great so far.

you make the best car videos i have ever seen!
i cannot believe it is a hyundai!
Okay so I wasn't sure about how I felt about this car, but this is why I love your reviews Kyle. I can watch your video and get a perfect picture about what the car is all about and the quality. I'm impressed (by the videos AND the car)
I have one... they are beautiful man!.. mine silver black interior... all the gadgets this video just helped me learn my car more.
Any issues with owning this car?
The interior on this car is amazing! Softest seats ever!
So soft, when the dealer by me had the car on the showroom, someone feel asleep in it. :D
dude u make the best car reviews ur the best
Thats an amazing car, it would be hard to tell that is a Hyundai. By the way, can't believe there are almost 1,000 videos. Congrats Kyle. Happy 1,000th video.
Great review.
I always enjoy your videos. They are always well done.
I look forward to your future reviews.
Keep up the good work.
I must say that this is something I would have never expected in a Hyundai. I am just speechless that it is.
Finally, an awesomely useful Equus video! Thank you for the very competent and watchable demo!
Nice review. One of the most in-depth reviews I've seen for any car anywhere. Good job.
wow I need this kinda sales person for my next car purchasing.
He knows everything about this car!!!
Who's here after watching Hoovies?
Weird considering this is 4 years ago. Lol
lol I am
Even in 2017, with the look of this car and with all of the features plus the 400hp V8(2012) this is still the single best used or preowned buy(or steal??) in automotive history!!!!! Love it!!
@throathammer1 The motor went out.😂
@@fatsog123 like went out to the bar to get a drink? Or what? 🤔
@throathammer1this is the best used car to buy no lie
I remember my neighbor waiting at the bus stop every day in her Hyundai Pony, back in 1995. I can't believe that 16 years later, this is the same company.
Outstanding job filming and describing this vehicle!
Hyundai went to work on this model. Wow! Very very impressive.
Saw two of these where I work and decided to look it up. I’m surprised that Hyundai, out of all brands, made this masterpiece. This car is the foundation of the genesis brand
Kyle - thank you for doing this video..I have been wanting to see what this car is like inside for a while knowing it is being compared to a Mulsanne..your indepth tour was great. Thanks!
kyle, every video you make gets more and more awesome! thank you for sharing these videos with us!
Keep up the good work Kyle! What an amazing flagship Hyundai has come up with!
This Equus puts the LS460 to shame with it's more powerful V8. Hyundai is slowly weeding out the fake luxury car makers and offering more for less.
after i watch this video i swear i just went and bought it
Nice video once again Kyle. Beautiful car.
I do have to say I am really impressed with the design and quality of this car. I'm not a huge fan of Hyundai or vehicles from the east but this one is really nice.

First the Genesis -- sedan and coupe -- and now the Equus.
Definitely amazing.
And nice review video too, btw! : )
I want Equus. This is my new dream car from now :D
did you guys hear at the end how quite this thing is WOW I AM IMPRESSED
Hyundai is getting better and better every car they make!
beautiful car and beautiful attention to detail in the interior.
I wish Hyundai Godspeed with their new and highly respectable lineup.

i digging that logo they used for this car very luxurious id get it fo show
wow! A fantastic car!! I didn't expect this especially from hyundai ,cause all hyundai i had driven don't have quality such as trajet,atos,getz etc
wow took 16:43 to show this car. That speaks for it self.....
Loved the analog clock....
What an absolutely stunning vehicle! Never again will I criticize the innovation and engineering of Korea!
This car is luxury I love it
wooowww!!! is impresive how hyunday make a luxury car woowww!!!!!nice video
There is great progress for Korean cars such as Hyundai and Kia have become two companies made cars compete with Japanese cars, American and German luxury. And the lowest prices
Very enjoyable to watch. Felt like I was right there.
The Equus's overall personality reminds me of what Oldsmobile planned with the original Aurora. No Hyundai badges anywhere on the car, rich luxurious interior, and powered by a potent v8.
was there someone like watching you do that? when you were demonstrating the power folding mirrors someone was standing there.
This is a amazing car. Thanks Kyle
Absolutely fantastic car.
WOW This car has more luxury features than any German rival on offer I'm sure! If i was in the market for a luxury car this would be top of my list.

Greatest car of ALL TIME
I like your video and the in depth walk around...do you think you could include a test drive to go along with your videos?
God....its amazing how far hyundai has come !
-ilove there vehicles !
I've got to say, this thing is absolutely gorgeous inside and out- and that chime- I could listen to it all day! I'd take this thing over a BMW, Mercedes, or Jag any day! It looks better than all of those!

They made genesis for that
@EggMan-i9b I made that comment 13 years ago before that brand was a thing 😂
Love that folding mirror feature.
Wow. This car is VERY Lexus like, if not better than...also, better than most other so-called luxury vehicles, for sure!
Good presentation. Lots of car for the money.
Yes is a Hyundai...yes, is a superb machine!
It looks like the paint has orange peel when you were showing the smart key feature... unless it was just how the reflection appeared on the paint.
The Equus sells for as much as $96,000 in foreign markets, but Hyundai is said to be studying a pricetag in the $50,000 to $60,000 range for the American market
Also look at that, the gauge cluster and some of the layout of the dash is purely Lexus LS460!
Now that the town car is gone and is being replaced by an MKT thing, this car will take over its place. Best cheap limo ever.
nice to see, took my coupe for an oil change yesterday but they didnt have one :(
Hyundai is not playing with this Luxury car!
Very detailed video I like that.
I’m getting one in a couple of weeks, can’t wait!!
The new Genesis/Genesis Coupe and Equus sure look good.
Does it have a full size spare wheel? (And good quality tools to change wheels?)
Nice styling and impressive luxury!
does the hyundai signature come with the tv screen too?
does the hyundai equus signature come with a tv screen in the back seat too??
Thanks for demonstrating the horn, finally a thorough review
very nice car!!! i really like the emblem on interior hood and trunk....much more than just a hyundai :) great car
Amazing car. I like the chimes too, kind of reminds me of the BMWs.
I love the fancy interiors of cars. I don't even look at what brand the car is most of the time. I just wanna see which car is a better value for my money and which has the nicest interior.
lovely car thanks kyle i really have been waiting for u to get to this car, great interior, a exterior (the front looks kinda ugly) but all in all a brilliant car and a great video
i just changed my mind about my favorite car it was a cadillac escalade and now it's this
Nice! I was hoping you'd be able to do an Equus!
@form109 Good point. But the Town Car is practically an icon. It's been around for a very long time & has a strong rep. for comfort, safety, & durability. Thats why limo co.'s & the police use these cars. It also helps that Town Car is the last sedan to be built body on frame instead of the conventional unibody
thanks for doing the equus kyle beautiful car whats the ultimate like
I got really spoiled of all the features this car has. Especially for those backseat passengers. Hard to tell if I would want that car or the jaguar that you posted before this video.
wow.. beautiful
What's the difference between the sugnature and ultimate?
love ur vids man
please try to do an infinti fx50
These are massive bargains that are worth every single cent.

Do you still have this car...Has it been reliable?
Beautiful car, beautiful engine! I love it :)
WHAT A CAR!!!!!!
@Pabla98 the hyundai equus signature trim doesnt, but the ultimate trim does
A lot of this car reminds me of my 09 C Class. Seat buttons on the door are very similar, the menu system on the Navi reminds of the Comand system as well. I a guessing this trumps my Merc in material quality, I wondering how the build feels though. The ones things the Germans do well is making the cabin feels like a tank.
Hey Kyle did you check the glove box if there was a iPad in there?
I would loved to have seen a tour of the Ultimate edition. Maybe they will get one in the near future.
@NavyAviation2016 Not the only car company, the Buick Rivera had its own emblem... Also if you look at the first two generations of the Lexus LS that was a duplicate of Mercedes also.
