Used 2011 Hyundai Equus Signature 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Hyundai Equus Signature
I took delivery of My Signature On Jan 7. It has been a great car to drive. On a trip over the mountains it got 23.3 on regular.b On a trip over flat terrain it go 27,6 mpg. To all the biychers out there, my other car is a Mercedes S Class. The ammenities are the same except the Equus does not have a power trunk lid or automatic door closers. I feel like I just saved $40000
Effortless Elegance
Definitely the nicest car I have ever owned. And certainly the largest vehicle I have ever owned. I mean it really is a giant luxurious monster. My 6'6" 250lbs friends love the space. The engine Hyundai put in this baby is perfectly paired to move the beast effortlessly down my crowed Atlanta streets. Don't let it's size full you he nimbly moves and heads turn . It takes the bumps and pot holes as if they don't exist. And if you get a little tense in traffic, just activate the massaging driver seat. Electronics are fantastic so many I can't use them all. Wish I could stream Pandora via blue tooth but it would work if I had an iphone. So I have to tether my music. No big deal. My only con is the V8 drinks lots fuel so it might not be the best for daily Atlanta traffic. I wish Hyundai would step up and promote the car more. I named mine Dexter.

A lot of car for the money
We were looking for a little higher level of luxury and comfort than our 2006 Infiniti M35. We weren't personally drawn to Mercedes, BMW, Audi, or Jaguar. As Infiniti and Lexus owners we test-drove the M37, the LS460. But after driving the Equus, it was our favorite.
I traded a BMW 745i for the 2011 Equus
January 2018 update: Now that I'm driving a car that gets better than 27 mpg across the board, I bristle at the notion of driving a car that gets significantly fewer mpg AND requires premium gas. In my neighborhood, the difference between regular and premium has run as high as $1.00 per gallon. That's a "premium" I don't want to pay. July 2017 update: I traded the Ewuus in on Toyota Highlander a couple of years ago because I needed to have a trailer hitch. Hyundai said I'd void the warranty on several suspension related systems if I added a hitch to the Equus, so I had to trade it away. I still miss the ride. Now that I no longer need the trailer hitch, I may soon revisit the 2018 issue of the Equus, which now is called Genesis? I heard they finally have an all wheel drive version. But I also heard you now have to use premium gas. Hyundai giveth, Hyundai taketh away... Original review: After looking at luxury sedans for about a year, I traded my Bimmer for the Equus without a second thought. The Equus was the first car I got into for a test ride that I felt was more comfortable than the 745. It uses regular gas, gets comparable mileage, is as quiet, comfortable and well equipped as the 745i - for 10s of thousands less. Add the superior warranty and valet service (I haven't been to the dealer for service in nearly 4 years!) Only two demerits: less than stellar iPod implementation (on an otherwise outstanding audio system) and handling that's more boat like than Bimmerish. I'll keep the 2011 until Hyundai delivers an AWD Equus.

An outstanding car at an ordinary price
We have had our Hyundai Equus Signature Sedan now for several weeks. It is an outstanding large luxury car at the price of an intermediate size premium car. The car is silky smooth and quiet in all driving modes and is a joy to drive. The interior is exceedingly comfortable, and the fit and finish is superb. Our only complaint is the rather pedestrian looking exterior styling.
