This car is phenomenal. 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!
I know I'm a bit late, but are any of these features particular to the Ultimate over the Signature? I'm planning on picking up a 2015 Signature soon and some of these I didn't know about, but since you mentioned a back middle seat I knew the years were right.
When this video was made, the reviewer commented on the Jeep Cherokee. The fact is that the Cherokee is poorly built with low reliability, it had to be given away. Yet the EQUUS stands as I write this comment in 2022.
For those considering a used equus, the 4 things this reviewer stated he'd like to see in the car it actually does have. Do your own research, read the owners manual free for download.
its definitely an excellent built car. i am actually waiting to see the 2017 Genesis G90 which is the Equus version under the new Genesis luxury brand. most people will still consider it a Hyundai anyways but this manufacturer is definitely heading in the right direction. they have alot to do in order to prove them selves worthy of having a convinced customer. i as a second Hyundai owner having the 2012 Genesis sedan, i can tell you that its definitely a very nice car and worth owning. not once has this car broken down on me like the excel did to many people. which is why the brand earned its self a bad name with people.

How about a snow and ice video? Let's see that electric stability control in action on that Hyundai equus

Also the headrests in the front and back are power adjustable. You get many nice features and the build quality is strong.

I guess you overlooked the heated steering wheel amidst all those buttons.
Very good, complete and informative review of the Equus. Thanks

You mean
*Genesis G90 which is the Equus replacement
Gangrene Vagina correct.
Damn. I think I want one of these.
There are no LED headlights on the car. He spoke incorrectly. The heads lights are Xenon and the turn signals are LED
I own an Equus
turnne thinking about a 2014 or 2015 Ultimate, what do you think of the car?
now only if lincoln could comeback with a car like this rear wheel drive v8 and like 20 feet long bring back the town car
drivinivankatz, please do test drive & review of 2014 Kia Cadenza. Thanx!

How reliable?
Great
My Equus has Heated Steering Wheel, and if I press the remote three times I have Remote Start as well.
There is heated steering wheel.
I like it alot
El auto es precioso, nada que ver con el resto de hyundai modelos, yo tengo el 2012, mi joya, suave, confortable y motor que responde al toque.
Sounds like there was considerable interior noise.
So this is better than infiniti
Absolutely

NO REMOTE START? OFF with their HEADS!
It has remote start through the bluelink smartphone app. $99 per year after year one of ownership.
