I bought my Equus in May 2011 as brand new car in Toronto, Canada. I had been very happy with it until its sudden acceleration happened in August 2014. I took it back to the dealership to check for the problem but they couldn't find anything. It happened again twice in the evening of April 2, 2015 but the engineer and technician from Hyundai Canada couldn't find anything wrong again. I don't feel safe to drive it so I traded it for a Genesis Ultimate. I only put in about 52,000KM to the Equus but the trade in value is not good at all. I have no choice as the trade in amount would be even lower if I traded it at the dealership of another brand.
GREAT CAR. BETTER THAN S CLASS!

Our family owned various German luxury vehicles past years. The common thing about those is poor reliability, and constant break down. Lexus? quite reliable, but not worth the $$$ you spend. (still way better than broken German) The quality of the vehicle is just Great. Better than Lexus, BMW, and Benz. Better ride, better standard equipment, Luxurious Trimming, and features. and save $40,000. Valet service is amazing. I don't have to at the service center all day and lose time and $$$ as I did with the German cars. The ego of Luxury Car dealers is just too high for me. You know, you have to please them to get the service. My advice is, if you want a luxury, and feel good, buy it!

If you want luxury without paying an arm and a leg, this is a great choice. Hyundai really backs this car up, even after the warranty has expired. (Replaced my chrome wheels at 70,000 because of blisters in the chrome at no charge!)

Just bought my Equus in June 2020 w/ 65k miles & I couldn't be more satisfied . From the quiet ride, to the torquey 5.0, to the heated /cooled seats up front/heated rear (which I will never use anyway), to the simple but attractive interior design/ergonomics.....I could go on. Everything feels quality. I used to sell BMWs & valet at high class restaurants & let me tell you, THIS CAR is what made me realize a badge is just a badge. I can confidently say I own a luxury 4door sedan w/ a muscle car V8 , yet never have to lose sleep over reliability issues. I've had the thing 2 weeks & had numerous people compliment it / ask [non-permissible content removed] is that? Lol . I have no complaints, Hyundai stepped up that's a fact!!

My new Equus- 2012 model

I have just had the car a short time and I held out for the 2012 model due to vastly improved engine and transmission. (429 HP and 8 speed). I haven't opened it up yet, but it obviously has worlds of power. 0 to 60 probably near 5 secs. It is ultra quiet and very comfortable. The seat has many adjustments and the control for same is very handy. It is priced many thousands (20 to 35K) less than M-B S series, BMW 7 series, or the big Lexus, or Audi A8. Go drive it and see for yourself!r Audi A8 to 30K) less than any equivalent car from BMW, M-B,
