2014 Hyundai Equus Signature 4dr Sedan (5.0L 8cyl 8A)

I bought the 2014 Equus Signature, black with tan interior, just a great car. I shopped the Mercedes S550, BMW 750 and the Lexus 460 before making my decision on this purchase. Realistically there is no comparison, this car rocks the competition. The interior of the Equus is awesome, the seats are exceptionally comfortable, the controls are nicely positioned and the stereo is tremendous. The interior amenities are as they should be in a car of this class. The fit and finish is comparable to the cars costing $40K more. The performance is similar to both the S550 and the BMW 750 in acceleration, the ride is more closely related to the S550. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a car. UPDATE- The car currently has 46K miles and seems to only get better. The car has not had a single issue( knock on wood), I still can't say enough about this car. Keep up the great work.

This car rides like a dream! Gas mileage is acceptable in the city and good on the highway. Comfort visibility and performance are great! Shift to Sport if you need power and handling shift back to Eco mode for normal driving. The snow mode works well. Sound system is excellent. This a great car especially if you buy it used with low miles. It is a luxury car and as such is not meant as a commuter car. At high speeds it floats and feel safe. Buy an extended warranty to cover all the toys and talk to your dealer nicely and they will support you. You will love this car. To repeat its a dream to drive. Made 3 trips to Florida at 25 hours each way. Great performance. Update: trim issues. Performance and ride till anazing!

This car is phenomenal. Hyundai Equus Ultimate SPEED: The 429 hp can really be felt. You can take off the traction control and put into sports mode and it'll really jump! DRIVER MODE: Normal, Sport & Snow DRIVER DISPLAY: The heads-up display shows current speed, cruise speed, lane departure lines & blindside warnings and GPS directional arrows with mileage. SMART CRUISE: The smart cruise control is ideal in those traffic jams. LIGHTS: The headlights curve as you turn. The fog lights add more visibility. The rear indicator lights are brighter and yellow. SIDE MIRRORS: When parking the side mirror automatically fold in (you can also manually fold them in too). When in reverse you have a rear camera, bird's eye view and the side mirrors automatically rotate downwards to see the lines for parking. They also automatically defrost and have yellow indicator lights on the front. WELCOMING: When you walk to the car when it's locked there are lights below the side mirror which light up & fold out before you unlock the doors (without removing the key or having to press a key). When you open from the passenger side or rear doors all the doors will unlock. Once inside you feel all the affects of luxury. The Equus logo appears on the driver display and plays some music. Once you start the vehicle the same logo appears on the large screen. SCREENS: A large screen in the front and two 9.8" for the passengers. They are located on the back of the driver and front passenger's headrest. CHARGING: You have two cigarette chargers in the front armrest and two in the rest seat armrest. There is also a USB port SHADES: The rear shades and rear passenger shade are all automatic. The side door shades actually descend into the door when they are pressed down (by the window button). DOORS: If they are closed with a slight gap the doors will automatically pull them in for a full close. They are solid and heavy doors. SEATS: Power seats are adjusted from the door panels. The driver does have 2 memory options that can be set. Also all seats (except the rear middle seat) have a/c and heating for your bum. This is in the leather perforated seats. The front passenger seat can be adjusted by pressing buttons on the left side of the chair (can be initiated by the driver or the rear passengers). AUTO HOLD: This button allows you to take your foot off the brake. It will be released once you push on the accelerator. Nice option for city driving. TRUNK: Find it very large. Hold two golf bags and two sports duffle bags. Also is a power trunk controlled by the key, below the steering wheel and on the trunk. RIMS & WHEELS: 19" rims with great finish & the logo. The rear tires are wider than the front two tires. It is REAR wheel drive. SOUND: 17 speakers that is a 598 watt Lexicon 7.1 Discrete Surround (there is a youtube about it's quality). This is an absolutely fun ride!

Bought a used 2014 Equus signature and all I can say is wow baby! I have owned 2 Audi A8s, MB E500, 650i conv BMW, 2017 mustang gt conv, and I do not miss any of them. The power from the Equus V8 is more than enough to satisfy my cravings for quick acceleration from any speed. 0 to 60, or 45 to 70, or 75 to 100 mph, this baby can get you there quickly in total comfort. I am 6ft2 and my singular and I mean singular complaint is the driver legroom when the seat is raised higher. If I lower the seat, no problem, but after 2 back surgeries, sometimes I need to raise it up some. Legroom is still adequate, but I do like to stretch out sometimes on highway long rides. Fuel economy is better than listed if you don't drag race at every stoplight. I we not from VA beach to Tampa, Fl and back. Almost 2600 miles in 4 days and I averaged 27.2 mpg at an average speed of 77 mph. Much better than its advertised mpg. Sound system is great with the 14 speaker lexicon system. I have the rear entertainment package and heads up display, blind side detection and adaptive cruise control. When I drive it, i remember the comfort and road poise I felt in my Audi A8s. Better reliability with Hyundai for much less. Miss the AWD, but doubt I will need that in Florida. I have a GMC Denali for the crappy weather days. Speaking of my Denali with active noise cancellation which is AWESOME! :), the Equus is pretty darn quiet too at highway speeds. If you are looking for a solid luxury car without the German reliability nightmare and high cost of ownership, I highly recommend the Equus. It's big and long, but so is the Audi A8L, MB S class, Jaguar XJL, and the Acura RLX. I test drove them all several times, and I would still pick the Equus over all of them. Besides, depending on where you live, there are not too many Audi, MB, Jaguar and Acura dealerships so your towing expense is going to be high. Finally, if you like to drive something that everybody does not have or know someone who has, then the Equus is for you. The reviews are great and the car is a solid, well built machine. Your money, but why waste it on something that will spend more time in the shop than your garage and you will trade as soon as the warranty expires.

I previously owned a 2013 Hyundai Equus & unfortunately lost it after loosing a 10 year job due to layoffs. I became ill in August of 2017 & homeless by Dec 2018. I really loved my car...the look, the ride, the style was so amazing. It didn't matter where I went so many people complimented it's beauty. I don't know if you've ever experienced the ride, but I long for the opportunity to own another. I don't know why Hyundai changed the body style in it's newer models, but there isn't any comparison. If you are able to test drive the older model in your state, please let them know this Marine Vet sent you... Dwayne

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.

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!

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.

Everyone looking in this segment, test drive Equus

I just leased the 2015 Hyundai Equus Signature. When I came to the dealership I was not really expecting to end up with this vehicle and test drove Genesis V6 and V8. Liked V8 better and then started thinking of maybe leasing this vehicle for my business. The sales person (Brett of Humble Hyundai in Texas) mentioned that they have a very good deal on Equus lease so I test drove it and actually liked it a lot. It maybe is not as sporty as Genesis but instill a lot of confidence on the read and the ride is much, much more refined. In the end I decided to go with the Equus as the lease offer was really good and Brett was really accommodating, followed up timely and was not pushy at all, unlike some of other car dealers I visited prior. Considering this is my first ever lease they made the process easy and I was in and out of the dealership pretty quick. We will see how the vehicle holds up quality wise but so far I am very satisfied. Everyone looking in this segment really ought to look at this car.

It's a perfect car no matter how much it costs. Both external and internal design are awesome with no compliant at all. It's a real shame that most people still believe the German cars are the best. When taking price into consideration, the Equus is unbeatable. The only concern is the 2014 design does not have massage seats. After 1 year, I still love this Equus as there is no issue so far. However, I noticed a lot of reviews saying problem of air suspension at certain mileage. Hope this will not happen to mine 2014.

I purchased this car 4 yrs old with 28k miles. This car drives like a dream. It feels like a brand new car. I love the drive modes and suspension. At this price and value, why would you buy a used more expensive BMW 7 series, Audi A8, Lexus Ls, or MB S Class? I saved a ton of money and purchased a RELIABLE luxury sedan. Great job Hyundai!

i bought this car new and loved it for the first three years; then, one day i made a u-turn and the whole car shut down; when the dealer came to pick it up, the same thing happened to the driver on a u-turn; the dealer replaced the onboard computer; three months later the same thing happened on a u-turn, on a dark night, on a busy street and i, my wife and two other passengers almost got killed on a busy street; the dealer, working with the geniuses at the manufacturer concluded that i had a bad battery cable; without going into a lot of detail, this makes absolutely no sense at all; i contacted the manufacturer and their "customer service" representative told me that they would do nothing to get me out of this death machine because the 2 year window on florida's lemon law had expired. when i asked to speak with somebody higher up the rep told me that he was the highest ranking customer service person in hyundai and hung up on me!!! I sold this car back to the dealer in order that i not risk my life driving it. if you are in the market to buy a used equus, be sure not to buy VIN KMHGH4JH9FU093410 unless you are willing to risk your life

Equus Ultimate ? NOT

SO If this car worked properly it would be an awesome car however it doesn't, I have spent quite a few hours days weeks in the shop only to hear excuses and bull on why my car doesn't work properly all the time. Do you want to hear from a Hyundai mechanic there's nothing we can do because the computer platform is an old outdated system windows 98 that's what I was told. SO air conditioner in auto position wont blow cold air unless you turn it to max cold first then go to desired setting so I was forced to use the ac button, seat memory wouldn't remember the settings it took many visits to the dealer to convince them something was wrong oh yes their initial response to EVERYTHING is could not duplicate issue well they replaced the driver mirror that didn't fix it then the door mechanism that seems to have done the trick. The front end is continually going out of alignment they blame me saying I'm driving the car rough??? What ? I've owned many many cars and NEVER had issues with alignment like this car. Now for the issue with windows 98 the computer systems don't work the same all the time for instance the sensors that detect cars to the left and right sometimes the detect and sometimes not . the rear camera will occasionally blank out where you see nothing for a few seconds while backing up enough time for something to enter the area behind you and for you to potentially to hit it. I was told well that's not an issue its inherent in the vehicle well it doesn't do it all the time so its not inherent it's just messed up. The head rest on passenger side front seat is now rattling due to car shaking all the time. The analog clock is running fast when you pull up the digital clock the time is correct but you can't see that clock unless you go into the menu the clock you see is not in sync to the internal digital clock?? how is that even possible. I was told that the car doesn't have a function that unless your seat belt is on you can't move the car well my car has had an issue where when I got into the car started it tried to move the brakes were applied not by me by the car and I get a message stating that a door is open or trunk is open and seat belt not fastened Well doors were closed trunk was closed and when I put the seat belt on the brakes released But my car doesn't do that I was told !!! I have video and pictures now that it does in fact do that. Also when you come to a stop and car is not in park and you open a door the doors wont unlock so I put car in park and back to drive back and forth no unlock I hit the unlock button no unlock I was told this was a safety feature BUT at the dealer we tried uit and shift lever wouldn't unlock the doors but the door lock button did they don't want t o hear that it didn't work. I have never had a car company so indifferent to my concerns from my first cars back in the late 60's to now not willing to help telling me that they can not duplicate the problem and trying to shift the blame to anything but the car having problems. ALL my cars in the past either worked or didn't work not a sometimes work. in order to keep from getting reports so you can get help from a lawyer they have that down too either not able to duplicate or they will hold a ticket open so it appears you only have taken the car in 1 time for an issue when actually its been 4 or 5 times . so today I will be taking my car back to the dealer to get the clock fixed the front end fixed I hope or what ever is causing the shaking BTW I got new tires and had the dealer balance them AGAIN at my cost to make sure they weren't going to say its your tires!!! and get the rattling headrest fixed. My advice don't buy a Hyundai they might look nice and appear they have all the great things Mercedes has or Lexus they don't!! They don't treat you right they don't service you right they don't help when you have a problem. they say don't make any money to diagnose problems why would you even say that ? I don't care if you go bankrupt diagnosing my car fix it or take your lemon back !!!

After looking and wondering why any one would spend 80,000 to 120,000 on a German or Japanese luxury car I have come to the conclusion the world is full of idiots. My 2014 equus is so close in all categories that the thought of spending big bucks on the German or Japanese luxury cars makes me laugh. They are all just cars and nothing more . I drove them all then looked at the window sticker and just laughed. The only one that made sense was the equus. update 2 years after above rating now have 72000 miles car has been very good. Had a ECM module go out when car was well out of warranty . Hyundai stepped up and covered this 1500 repair Thanks Hyundai

Fantastic car, mine is like new, from the fantastic carpet up to the leather dash, what a fantastic value. Paid less than 1/2 for a car that cost mid 60's new and I love everything about it. Rides great, is as powerful as a muscle car. Great value..

After BMW's, several Mercedes and 4 Lexus' from the SUV to 2 460's I chose the 2013 Equus Ultimate and absolutely love it! I have 73K miles on it and have had zero problems. It's a much nicer drive, and faster, than any of the previous luxury cars I've owned. It's as pretty as the day I brought it home. Best car ever!

Bought brand new. 1000 miles drivers window goes down and will not come back up. No loaner no luxury service total lies. Then the car shuts off at 75 MPH!! Almost got killed! does this 5 times and dealer says they cannot find the problem?? Then one day I come out and car is completely dead. can't even open the door locks, no interior lights have to have it towed to dealer. Dealer tells me it needs a new battery? 32K miles? no warnings at all?? Just one day it is completely dead? Need a car I can depend on. Got rid of it that day..Never again. Electrical issues since I bought this car. Apparently the G90 is suffering the same issues.

If you have owned a Lexus, I don't think you'll be satisfied with the Equus. I am at 4 months of ownership, 2800 miles, and there are quite a few paint chips on the rocker panels due to stepping in and out of the car. It's obviously not just me, because they are on both sides. Lexus has a metal plate where Equus has a piece of painted plastic. That's an engineering flaw in my book. I'm being told this isn't warrantable because it was caused by the user. I also have a small tear on the leather on the drivers's side door. i don't have the space to discuss the buying "experience" but it's not one I will repeat...with bait and switch by 1 dealer and addition of BS charges by another.

The a/c is sub par. Seriously, how could not have paid more attention to that. I've owned two signature models with same problem. I hope the warranty is for real.

The 2014 Equus is a great ride and very comfortable and quiet. Unfortunately it is not very reliable. I have had to replace the transmission, air suspension system, rear view mirror and power seats. Luckily I purchased the extended warranty but without it the repairs would have been nearly $20,000.

Not the best for fuel economy, but we didn't purchase it for that but for comfort and easy in and out. WE LOVE IT!

1: Last year that model was manufactured, 2016. 2: Genesis 90 replaced aforementioned model. 3: Exquisite comfort, smooth ride, ultra quiet cabin. 4: 17 speaker surround sound w/ subwoofer. 5: Fully loaded, V8, 5 liter, 429 hp powerplant. 6: 6 months after purchasing, had to replace transmission with 30k miles on it. I am the second owner and purchased the vehicle with 25k existing miles on the odometer. 7: 10 years, 100k miles warranty took care of parts and labor. (THE DOWN SIDE...Long Hyundai of Chattanooga took 6-7 weeks to repair the transmission. When I picked my car up and took it to a local bodyshop to repair a dent I got in a door, the bodyshop found parts from the transmission repair and the ENTIRE TRANSMISSION UNDERCARRIAGE PLATE / GUARD in my trunk. LONG HYUNDAI, CHATTANOOGA, N E V E R put it back on before returning the var as FIXED !!!! WTF...?!

Loving it

It rides like a dream with its adjustable air suspension. Beautiful car inside and out. I wanted this car since it first came out, but it was too expensive. When I saw this used car with low miles and the current price I was probably sold before I saw it in person. After the test drive it sealed the deal for me. It has all the bells and whistles too. Well worth the price. It also has the 17 speaker lexicon sound system which sounds fantastic. My wife has only driven it once and I just want her to continue driving our 2024 genesis g 70 and leave the equus alone.
