      In NZ for most models Hyundai depreciate better than almost any other vehicle on the market saving perhaps Toyota. Generally the better the manufacturers reliability reputation is, the less the depreciation is. Mercs and Audi's etc usually depreciate like stones in the ocean here because everyone understands what a crap experience it is likely to be to own a used German luxury car.

    Great work here DeMuro. 2 years ago in May, 2017, I was in the market for a used LS 460. With a budget of $30,000, all of the ones I found had way more miles on them than I wanted. I was about to give in and buy one for $35,000 when I stumbled on an immaculate "Black Noir" 2013 Equus Ultimate. It was about to click 40,000 miles. For $25,000, it was a no brainer on paper. But it took some courage to buy it. I'm so glad I did. I so enjoy owning this car! It's been a blessing.

I usually averaged about 11 MPG, and one of the dumbest things about this car is that it has a 14 gallon tank, so you are CONSTANTLY filling it up. It took about a month for me to hate this car and everything about it. And while Doug is right and that it does have alot of "luxury" "features, its not even remotely close to being similar in qualiity to a Mercedes or BMW.

      It's also misspelled so even if you had a basic understanding of Latin and pieced together "equestrian=horsey stuff, equs means horse... equus must be another language that I dont know nor would I like to know... I would however like to know why theres a flying fish on my $70k Hyundai, why I bought it in the first place, and why it's now worth less than a Chevy Aveo"... that's my impression of a normal guy who took Latin in high school and bought the car, drove it for 70k ish miles and has never looked at it before...

    A few issues with this review.
    Doug didn't mention one of the biggest selling points of this car: the Lexicon sound system which is absolutely amazing.
    He also doesn't mention the air ride suspension which is why the ride is really sublime.
    Also, there's a reason you can get the newer ones for a great price. Hyundai started stripping all of the really nice extras out of these cars after 2013. 2011 to 2013 had the refrigerators, but Hyundai scrapped those from 2014 on. Also, you wouldn't want to go with a 2011 because the following year they upgraded the engine and transmission to much better models.
    If you're in the market for one of these, just do your research and figure out what's important to you. I've had mine for about a year and I love it, but there are quirks that make you shake your head like having Bluetooth calling, but not Bluetooth audio which means you have to use an aux cable.

    • @Hardcorerado

I like to say it is 90-95% of similar Mercedes at a fraction of the purchase price, and another fraction of the maintenance price. Also, because it is not universally recognized, there is a very positive stealth factor to Equus. I never get pulled over by the police.

    At the time of the EQUUS, Hyundai also had the first two Genesis models. They were just Hyundai car models. Hyundai determined that Genesis would be the luxury brand for Hyundai and EQUUS was retired. Genesis had new refined models and their own sales showrooms along side the Hyundai showrooms, but a different owner experience. The EQUSS was replaced by the Genesis G90 and KIA got K900 version. This business model is similar to Toyota/Lexus and Nissan/Infinity. Kia was rolled into the Hyundai family and they began offering cousin models across the three brands with quality and service improving year by year.
    The original EQUUS (Hyundai/Mitsubishi) and the New EQUUS (Hyundai) were top luxury cars in South Korea and had limosine versions including bullet proof models sold to dignitaries in SK and Russia. The rear seat features (massage seats, full climate and sound control, cooler, and reclining seats that were just on the rear passenger side, reflect the attention to providing comfort and control to a paying rider using private driver/limo service. You didn't the AIr Suspension System.
    A look at the South Korean wed sites of Hyundai and Kia reveals the long heritage of auto manufacturing. Both brands produce everything from little budget passenger cars to Sports cars, pickup trucks, Limosines, commercial panel trucks and 18 wheelers, as well as massive earth movers from regular dump trucks and forklifts to the two story dump trucks used in rock quarry. The Stinger and Optima were sold in South Korea for years before coming to the U.S.

I’ve been in BMW’s and Mercedes’ less then a few years old and seen this. Some of the plastics they use also seem thin and brittle.
