Wife says it's the best overall car she has ever owned. New was $70k used was $19k. Got extended warranty. No regrets.

What is an Equus? Oh, that car!

You can tell by my review I (we) love this car! I can't find something to complain about; If I "nit-pick" the navigation system does take some getting used to, but I suspect I would find this to be the case with the Equus's competitors as well. Everything, I mean everything else, this car punches well above it's class, especially when the competition, that is, other brands offering all the same stuff, costs tens of thousands more! My wife doesn't like it when I drive because I get caught up in the performance capabilities that turn on when you switch the driving mode from "econ" to "sport", the car thinks it's a 2 year old Labrador! Try keeping up!

The real truth about Equus

Stay away from this vehicle.The major problem is with service.Buyers think they are buying a premier car,however the dealerships are not geared to a premier experience.The dealerships are not familiar with this car,and service is generally poor.My car was in the shop for long periods,parts were not readily available and were very pricey and frequently not covered under warranty. However, the critical fault of the Hyundai Equus is that it handles and drives very poorly.It also has a weak chasis that cannot handle New York City roads.My car swayed and vibrated at 50 to 60 mph and the dealers could not fix it. My wife just would not drive it on the highway because it drives so poorly. Stay with Lexus and/or Mercedes this car is not worth the money.

Equus Great BUT…

Absolutely like my 2016 Equus Signature, Purchased in 2021. PRO: Great dealership experience, V8 torque, quiet interior, privacy shades, and more. CON: Only 1 issue but it gives me pause about buying another Hyundai. Drivers seat switchgear has failed, seat cannot be moved fore and aft nor tilted backwards. Repair estimate is $3,300. That works out to be ~ 15%of the total purchase price I paid. Obviously not going to absorb this high repair cost for a switch!, thus driving a wonderful vehicle daily with the seat too close to the steering wheel for my taste. Looking to sell it to eliminate this nagging issue.
