I bought a 2015 Hyundai Equus with about 24,000 miles on it in December 2018. Car was like new in almost every way. Had one problem with the car and that was a head rest on the passenger side that just violently popped forward one day while I was at a light. Warranty covered replacement 100%. Car handles really well. Very roomy front and back seat, great for everyday driving and long trips in that regard. It turns a lot of heads because the badge on the front and back is not the usual Hyundai loan. It looks and feels like a Lexus 460LS. Has all the bells and whistles that a flagship sedan should have, including terrific sound system, navigation, rear sun shade, backseat radio / A/C controls, comfort setting (rear passenger seat turns into a recliner and front passenger seat moves forward so there is more room...outstanding feature on long road trips. Prior to this car I had a BMW 750Li, also a flagship but had constant problems. This is Hyundai reliability with Lexus / BMW styling. Not as sexy as the Lexus 460 or BMW 750 but close enough considering the upfront savings for purchase and nearly non-existent maintenance issues. One last thing: This car hasn't been made since 2015 (I believe) and unfamiliarity with the general public means these cars can be had with low mileage at great prices. The one I bought had about $5,000 in equity built in to the purchase price. They are rarer so you may have to travel to find one. If you're thinking about buying one, hurry because every day the supply of low mileage 2015 (or earlier) shrinks.

It's worth the money and underestimated by people in the industry. You can't buy a better car.

Just about the same car as expensive brands from Germany but with more technology and a much much better warranty. Also when you take your Equus into the dealer your do not need a second mortgage on your house to pay the cost of maintenance.The best rear seat comfort that I have ever experienced. I have two Equuses and neither have let me down. A great car for a great price with a great warranty!

Better than Lexus LS 460

The first Equus I bought was in 2011, I traded my Lexus LS 460 because of the troubles I had with it. The 2011 Equus had no problems & I owned it for 5 1/2 years. The service was great so I bought a 2015 model, this car has minor changes that makes it even better & I got a good deal because it was a year old but new with 73 miles on the odometer. I'm a happy camper & recommend it to anybody.....UPDATE; 2-29-19. The car has performed perfectly, mileage not so good but that's due to driving only around town. Hyundai no longer use the Equus name but my friend bought the equivalent model Genesis and tell's me no problems, he's very happy with it.

After owning 4 Lexus LS cars over 10 years, the Equus has proved to be a great surprise. Super smooth and very quiet ride, incredible sound system, and people have actually approached me complimenting me on the looks of the car. My next car will likely be the G90.
