Hyundai has definitely achieved the next level with this vehicle, I cant wait to see how well it will develop and evolve over the course of it's coming years
The Equus looks great so far. I'm sure that many loyalists to established brands will doubt its success at first, but then again Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti were newcomers to the world of luxury cars only 2 decades ago and they turned out to become respected and highly-regarded brands over the last 20+ years, especially Lexus because of all the variety in their lineup.
I remember my neighbor waiting at the bus stop every day in her Hyundai Pony, back in 1995. I can't believe that 16 years later, this is the same company.
Okay so I wasn't sure about how I felt about this car, but this is why I love your reviews Kyle. I can watch your video and get a perfect picture about what the car is all about and the quality. I'm impressed (by the videos AND the car)
Even in 2017, with the look of this car and with all of the features plus the 400hp V8(2012) this is still the single best used or preowned buy(or steal??) in automotive history!!!!! Love it!!
I do have to say I am really impressed with the design and quality of this car. I'm not a huge fan of Hyundai or vehicles from the east but this one is really nice. Really gives the S-class a run for the money in terms of features and quality especially with the W221 which I don't like.
Saw two of these where I work and decided to look it up. I’m surprised that Hyundai, out of all brands, made this masterpiece. This car is the foundation of the genesis brand
The Equus's overall personality reminds me of what Oldsmobile planned with the original Aurora. No Hyundai badges anywhere on the car, rich luxurious interior, and powered by a potent v8.
@LoveTheCity123 It's not really a rip off because this car doesn't even compete with the 5 series or E Class. It competes with the 7 Series, S Class, Audi A8, Lexus LS etc. You are probably right about it maybe becoming rare because we Americans like to get caught up in brand names. That's why I think Hyundai should have made a separate luxury brand for cars like this. Many people are not gonna want to pay so much money for a Hyundai.
How does one disable the ability to raise the other back seat window, move the passenger seat and the volume control. I'm thinking that if someone is seated it will detect pressure and it will override those or maybe by the center console. What is it saab?
Kyle - thank you for doing this video..I have been wanting to see what this car is like inside for a while knowing it is being compared to a Mulsanne..your indepth tour was great. Thanks!
I wish Hyundai Godspeed with their new and highly respectable lineup. The 2012 Equus' 429HP 5.0L V-8 and new in-house eight-speed A/T erases any doubt of who offers the most car for your money, not to mention a very high content level of top quality components.Throw in the best warranty, which shows long-term confidence in the product, then top that with clever pricing, and you have described an unqualified winner!
Thats an amazing car, it would be hard to tell that is a Hyundai. By the way, can't believe there are almost 1,000 videos. Congrats Kyle. Happy 1,000th video.
I remember old Lincoln Town Car's from the 80's had those dual window switches on the rear windows, except without the sunshades of course. Just like that white one Kyle did a few months back.
These are massive bargains that are worth every single cent. Bought mine with 44,000 miles so it classified as certified pre owned with a three years warranty and it was 12,380 dollars for it...and my God I absolutely love it. Smooth, luxurious and if you put your foot to the floor you will be flying down the highway (and the sound system is God like)
The emblem on the engine is the only way I'd know this was a Hyundai. First the Genesis -- sedan and coupe -- and now the Equus. Definitely amazing. And nice review video too, btw! : )
I gotta admit, Hyundai has been stepping up in game lately, this car looks very luxurious, still not like the Jaguar XJ but Jaguar is a luxury company, hyundai is more a jack of all trades.
@NavyAviation2016 Not the only car company, the Buick Rivera had its own emblem... Also if you look at the first two generations of the Lexus LS that was a duplicate of Mercedes also.
Not to be compared with S class, 7 series or Audi A8. But surely kills all the other cars around the same price tag like 5series. Hyundai's definitely opened a new market, having the luxurious features and performance of series with the price of 5 series
WOW This car has more luxury features than any German rival on offer I'm sure! If i was in the market for a luxury car this would be top of my list. Hyundai have stepped up and pretty soon they'll be overtaking the competition in terms of features and price. People who care about brands aren't car enthusiasts. A true car fan knows a good car whether it has the name or not!
The Equus sells for as much as $96,000 in foreign markets, but Hyundai is said to be studying a pricetag in the $50,000 to $60,000 range for the American market
There is great progress for Korean cars such as Hyundai and Kia have become two companies made cars compete with Japanese cars, American and German luxury. And the lowest prices
I've got to say, this thing is absolutely gorgeous inside and out- and that chime- I could listen to it all day! I'd take this thing over a BMW, Mercedes, or Jag any day! It looks better than all of those!
Awesome vehicle why spend more on a S-Class or a 7 Series another masterpiece from the 5th biggest auto manufacturing company in the world Hyundai, vehicle is so classy.
@strumem90 That could be it... I just remember two identical switches on the rear door and one was the window switch. But that was back in the 90's when I was a kid so I don't really remember that well.
Whhy do people say this car is a Mercedes copy? I bet you a Mercedes break down more and cost more for maintenance..every time a company made a luxury car people say its a copy, its a car and its luxury that made it Mercedes ya ignorant fools?
@saabkyle04 this is a very nice car havent really seen anything like this before at least in a hyundai by any chance what is the msrp on this specific car?
I got really spoiled of all the features this car has. Especially for those backseat passengers. Hard to tell if I would want that car or the jaguar that you posted before this video.
Hyundai or not that is one Beautiful car!
Sexiest car I have ever seen
Great man!!!! Keep doing your reviews !!! A lot of people enjoy to watch it !!!
Ok
The sound system is the same in the Bentley Muslanne wow! I'm sold!
Who's here after watching Hoovies?
Weird considering this is 4 years ago. Lol
lol I am
Hyundai has definitely achieved the next level with this vehicle, I cant wait to see how well it will develop and evolve over the course of it's coming years
I don't know why, but I like the little chimes it makes in the interior, both before the car starts and after the ignition is shut off.
This car is amazing we have a white one I am in love with it I recommend this car
They're a steal used now
hey do you still have it? I want one so bad but donty know if its worth at this age.
@@vulted_9572i just got one and i love it
One of the greatest cars
This Equus puts the LS460 to shame with it's more powerful V8. Hyundai is slowly weeding out the fake luxury car makers and offering more for less.
The Equus looks great so far. I'm sure that many loyalists to established brands will doubt its success at first, but then again Lexus, Acura, and Infiniti were newcomers to the world of luxury cars only 2 decades ago and they turned out to become respected and highly-regarded brands over the last 20+ years, especially Lexus because of all the variety in their lineup.

@throathammer1 The motor went out.😂
@@fatsog123 like went out to the bar to get a drink? Or what? 🤔
@throathammer1this is the best used car to buy no lie
The interior on this car is amazing! Softest seats ever!
So soft, when the dealer by me had the car on the showroom, someone feel asleep in it. :D
I have one... they are beautiful man!.. mine silver black interior... all the gadgets this video just helped me learn my car more.
Any issues with owning this car?
Hyundai went to work on this model. Wow! Very very impressive.
you make the best car videos i have ever seen!
i cannot believe it is a hyundai!
I must say that this is something I would have never expected in a Hyundai. I am just speechless that it is.
Finally, an awesomely useful Equus video! Thank you for the very competent and watchable demo!
I do have to say I am really impressed with the design and quality of this car. I'm not a huge fan of Hyundai or vehicles from the east but this one is really nice.
Really gives the S-class a run for the money in terms of features and quality especially with the W221 which I don't like.
Nice review. One of the most in-depth reviews I've seen for any car anywhere. Good job.
dude u make the best car reviews ur the best

after i watch this video i swear i just went and bought it
Outstanding job filming and describing this vehicle!
wow I need this kinda sales person for my next car purchasing.
He knows everything about this car!!!

Great review.
I always enjoy your videos. They are always well done.
I look forward to your future reviews.
Keep up the good work.
was there someone like watching you do that? when you were demonstrating the power folding mirrors someone was standing there.
How does one disable the ability to raise the other back seat window, move the passenger seat and the volume control. I'm thinking that if someone is seated it will detect pressure and it will override those or maybe by the center console. What is it saab?
I want Equus. This is my new dream car from now :D
Kyle - thank you for doing this video..I have been wanting to see what this car is like inside for a while knowing it is being compared to a Mulsanne..your indepth tour was great. Thanks!
Hyundai is getting better and better every car they make!
wow! A fantastic car!! I didn't expect this especially from hyundai ,cause all hyundai i had driven don't have quality such as trajet,atos,getz etc
It looks like the paint has orange peel when you were showing the smart key feature... unless it was just how the reflection appeared on the paint.
I wish Hyundai Godspeed with their new and highly respectable lineup. The 2012 Equus' 429HP 5.0L V-8 and new in-house eight-speed A/T erases any doubt of who offers the most car for your money, not to mention a very high content level of top quality components.Throw in the best warranty, which shows long-term confidence in the product, then top that with clever pricing, and you have described an unqualified winner!
does the hyundai equus signature come with a tv screen in the back seat too??
does the hyundai signature come with the tv screen too?
Thats an amazing car, it would be hard to tell that is a Hyundai. By the way, can't believe there are almost 1,000 videos. Congrats Kyle. Happy 1,000th video.
Keep up the good work Kyle! What an amazing flagship Hyundai has come up with!
I remember old Lincoln Town Car's from the 80's had those dual window switches on the rear windows, except without the sunshades of course. Just like that white one Kyle did a few months back.

Smooth, luxurious and if you put your foot to the floor you will be flying down the highway (and the sound system is God like)
Do you still have this car...Has it been reliable?
beautiful car and beautiful attention to detail in the interior.
The emblem on the engine is the only way I'd know this was a Hyundai.
First the Genesis -- sedan and coupe -- and now the Equus.
Definitely amazing.
And nice review video too, btw! : )
kyle, every video you make gets more and more awesome! thank you for sharing these videos with us!
did you guys hear at the end how quite this thing is WOW I AM IMPRESSED
i digging that logo they used for this car very luxurious id get it fo show
Greatest car of ALL TIME
I gotta admit, Hyundai has been stepping up in game lately, this car looks very luxurious, still not like the Jaguar XJ but Jaguar is a luxury company, hyundai is more a jack of all trades.

kyle what would you take the jag or hyundai
and why got the hyundai another emblem ????
This car is luxury I love it
What's the difference between the sugnature and ultimate?
Hey Kyle did you check the glove box if there was a iPad in there?
wow took 16:43 to show this car. That speaks for it self.....
Loved the analog clock....
The Equus sells for as much as $96,000 in foreign markets, but Hyundai is said to be studying a pricetag in the $50,000 to $60,000 range for the American market
Now that the town car is gone and is being replaced by an MKT thing, this car will take over its place. Best cheap limo ever.
There is great progress for Korean cars such as Hyundai and Kia have become two companies made cars compete with Japanese cars, American and German luxury. And the lowest prices
Does it have a full size spare wheel? (And good quality tools to change wheels?)
Nice styling and impressive luxury!
Yes is a Hyundai...yes, is a superb machine!
What an absolutely stunning vehicle! Never again will I criticize the innovation and engineering of Korea!
I've got to say, this thing is absolutely gorgeous inside and out- and that chime- I could listen to it all day! I'd take this thing over a BMW, Mercedes, or Jag any day! It looks better than all of those!
Wow. This car is VERY Lexus like, if not better than...also, better than most other so-called luxury vehicles, for sure!
Awesome vehicle why spend more on a S-Class or a 7 Series another masterpiece from the 5th biggest auto manufacturing company in the world Hyundai, vehicle is so classy.
your deluded
why didnt you do the equus ultimate ??
nice to see, took my coupe for an oil change yesterday but they didnt have one :(
Will they be getting an Ultimate anytime soon?
Very enjoyable to watch. Felt like I was right there.
I haven't seen these cars up here in Canada
i can't believe how far hyundai has come. pretty damn impressive. i still think its funny that they have a V8 now
Absolutely fantastic car.
This is a amazing car. Thanks Kyle
@strumem90 That could be it... I just remember two identical switches on the rear door and one was the window switch. But that was back in the 90's when I was a kid so I don't really remember that well.
God....its amazing how far hyundai has come !
-ilove there vehicles !
Also look at that, the gauge cluster and some of the layout of the dash is purely Lexus LS460!
thanks for doing the equus kyle beautiful car whats the ultimate like
Whhy do people say this car is a Mercedes copy? I bet you a Mercedes break down more and cost more for maintenance..every time a company made a luxury car people say its a copy, its a car and its luxury that made it Mercedes ya ignorant fools?
@FantasticGary Where is the plastic, exactly?
I like your video and the in depth walk around...do you think you could include a test drive to go along with your videos?
Hi Kyle, I hope you don't mind me asking. Do you get paid to make these videos, or do you just make them for the funof it?
Hyundai is not playing with this Luxury car!
An I upgrade the mirrors on this for that of an ultimate? Id like more visibility on both sides.
@coolgames14 um controls for both rear windows on each side? Rear controls for the front seats? That's just unnessecary.
Love that folding mirror feature.
wooowww!!! is impresive how hyunday make a luxury car woowww!!!!!nice video
The new Genesis/Genesis Coupe and Equus sure look good.
Amazing car. I like the chimes too, kind of reminds me of the BMWs.
wow Hyundai is stepping up their game
@saabkyle04 this is a very nice car havent really seen anything like this before at least in a hyundai by any chance what is the msrp on this specific car?
I got really spoiled of all the features this car has. Especially for those backseat passengers. Hard to tell if I would want that car or the jaguar that you posted before this video.
@xoquixxoqafxo did u no the phaeton could do 200miles an hour inn 180 degree weather with the a/c on and it will run perfect?
Thanks for demonstrating the horn, finally a thorough review
jaguar will cry. BUT this car makes all backseat drivers happy, can control seatmates seat, as well as windows. i can imagine window wars 2011 now
@Pabla98 the hyundai equus signature trim doesnt, but the ultimate trim does
Bob Mayberry is world famous now.
I’m getting one in a couple of weeks, can’t wait!!
