Doug the type of guy to post a LaFerrari vid one day then a Hyundai Equus vid the next day like its nothin’
But I don’t complain
And i am the type of guy to be more interested in this review rather than the LaFerrari one
Charlie Charlot Makes sense, you’re more interested because you may actually get to buy it.
That's why Doug is THE BEST CAR REVIEWER.

Hyundai and genesis might one of the most underrated car companies right now.

Why is it that NOBODY seems to understand that EQUUS means HORSE and the LOGO represents PEGASUS, the mythical FLYING HORSE?
Books are hard.
It's because the hood ornament looks like a flying fish, not a winged horse.
@@bryanstevens5901 And some times heavy. I don't like hard heavy books.
Because almost nobody speaks/knows Latin or would ever have a reason to know that.. and like the other guy said; the logo is a very stylized version of a pegasus. Even after you mention it and I look at it I have a hard time seeing it.
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...

Hyundai: How much depreciation do you want?
Equus: YES
@@googleuser5302
It is yet another annoying Internet meme. It suggests that the 2nd party has a ridiculous amount of what the first person asks for (depreciation in this case).
Doesent make sense
A nice, sub 100k mile, 2012 S550 is less than $20k. This Equus was at least $30000 cheaper than the S-Class. You tell me which one the depreciation stings worse....
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.
Equus: I'd like to depreciate like a BMW 750 please.
First time I drove one, I legit thought it would be like an old Lexus ES... then I floored it, and got slapped with 430hp...
So they are quick? Ish
@@unrealzebra3662 not ish. very very fast. it’s naturally aspirated so you floor it and just get heaps of power surging you forward
That part
Yeah....my 5.0 R spec punched me in the gut when I tried to push it. I'm used to it now, but oooh boy the 1st month of ownership was insane.
The power will definitely make you fizzly in lower bits
After watching this, I did a quick seach and found one locally. Drove it, tried to get them a little lower. They already said it was too low. I paid cash for it and it's sitting in my driveway right now. 63K miles. $16,500. The power, ride, and luxury is completely ridiculous. I couldn't be happier. I'll be able to sell my paid for Altima for about $9k. $7500 net for the greatest car I've ever driven. Thanks Doug!!!!
From a Altima to this what big difference
how has the reliability been with your equus gary?
@@roboticvenom1935 Well at the time I didn't know that I bought the infamous :2012" version of this car. The engine is absolute garbage. I burned through a quart of oil once a week. 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. I kept it for about a year and hated it for 11 months.

13:50 Btw, Face-lifted Equus has the electronic gear, so the center console is much more spacious. Plus, interior is just so much better. If you're interested in used Equus, go for 2014+ model years.
@SH Kim
The Non ultimate model of this year also has a larger console. I have owned an Equus for 4 years and it has never broken
The interior of the 2014+ plus model is an upgrade..I do agree with you on that

I love my 2011 Equus that I bought with 30K miles back in 2014. Even though mine was not CPO and I didn't get the 10yr/100kmile warranty, it was been quite reliable, luxurious, and quiet. I agree, one of the better kept secrets in the car industry.

Bought 2013 for the kids for $14250 the dealer had a 2012 for $13995. They increased the price to 17. The power of Demoro. So far ten days in all good. Regular gas, JD power best rating. Nicer than our older LS.
Scott Killian how old is that Lexus ls tho
What year was the Lexus? I’ve been considering an LS but want to look into other options, I also didn’t care for the seats in the 09 LS460 but I know it’ll last several hundred thousand miles
You should be running 93 with 5.0, it's not that much more and 87 can't be good for it
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.
Hyundai removed the fridge and the massage feature in 2014. I’m not aware of any other features they removed. Also, Bluetooth audio and dual dvd screens (among other things) were added in 2014.
@@Hardcorerado I was listing what they removed in 2014, I didn't say they gutted the whole car and the newer models were POS. I'm just saying that Hyundai stripped some of the features that made their car stand apart from the competition in 2014. I was commenting on the quirks of the model I have when I was talking about the Bluetooth audio. You would think a car built in 2011 that cost around 90k would have Bluetooth audio.
I bought the 2011 ultimate with less than 50k on it, only one of two in the U.S. I’m this condition on the market currently. Love it and everyone who gets in love it. I wouldn’t say the 2011 to 2012 is enough to make it an absolute deal breaker with minor improvements on the air suspension and the 2012 actually more engine issues reported than the 2011
@@michaelgieseler2179 I have a 2011 ultimate with just over 245k miles, people gets in it and thinks is 45k. Every electronic works on it except adaptive cruise. Engine purrs likes is new can't even hear it . Interior looks and feels like a year old. Hyundai did good with this car. I daily this car.

Everyone with an equus should thank Doug for that jump on the resell value
Yea, all $2-3k as far as I can tell on their $55-60k loss lmao... better than nothing I guess but I think they kind of plateaued between 10k for a high mileage early models and 20-25k for low mileage and newer models... which will probably continue to drop to 10-15k
Naw… just COMMON-SENSE!

I bought a certified 2013 Equus Ultimate from a dealer in 2017 (with a 5 year Warranty). Amazing value. 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. Not worried about theft because there is no significant after market. Passengers are always impressed when they get in the vehicle, because the feel is way better than anybody ever expects.
I remember I had 4 tall people in the car and the front passenger asked the back did they need to move up and he was like "Noooo. I'm good". I felt satisfaction.
The emblem Hyundai used for Equus was representative of a Pegasus, with Equus being a genus of the Equidae family, which includes horses.
The emblem reminds me of Imperial luxury brand.

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 love the Hyundai group so much. I feel like so many amazing cars have gone under the radar outside of the car community i.e the Stinger GT, the Veloster N, G70, G90, etc. They've been making amazing unsung cars for several years now, and are still sticking to it. I would bet money that some of these cars would shoot up in value and become the next JDM cars, just this time KDM.

These were beautiful cars. I remember trying to get my grandpa into one and he couldn’t believe the what you get vs what you pay either. Great little machine. Very capable electronics as well for the time period.
Cheaping out on some materials and feature details is how Hyundai "got away with" the lower price tag.
Except they didn't. This car didn't sell.
The car seems to be targeted to one very slim market: the guys who work behind the counter at convenient stores selling off brand cologne on the side.Probably lot of Habib's and Abdul's bought this car.....and almost always white color .
It did not fit the market. They marketed it as an S-class killer but was imitating a chauffeur-driven Rolly, and those people don't care about cheap, just brand name and status.

your reviews on this model car were integral to my purchase of a 2013 model. thanks doug
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.

Next on Doug Demuro. "I bought a Certified Pre Owned Hyundai Equus from Carmax with a bumper to bumper warranty."
Lmfao
I visited South Korea a few years ago and was given a Hyundai as a rental. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and features of the car. It definitely out-shined my Accord at the time even though they were both mid-sized sedans.
Thiiiiisss review betrays Doug's classism more than any other I have seen to this point, classism that was less flagrant in previous posts.
Okay, that adaptive cruise brake light indicator is the most ingenious feature since adaptive cruise.. It solves the one problem with adaptive cruise, I've allways wanted that feature! People who needlessly apply the brakes on highways should, as Clarkson put it, be taken outside and shot in front of their families. People love to complain about traffic jams, well if people could look ahead and let the car coast in stead of jumping on the fucking brakes, they would be drastically reduced, and fuel consumption to boot. I love adaptive cruise, but I'm allways nervous that the system is needlessly brushing the brakes to adjust the distance to the car in front. It seems Hyundai solved my woes 7 years ago. Thanks, Hyundai!
Finally. A car to calculate me going 60 MPH in a residential zone.
Sadly I go 120 in residential areas so this isn't very helpful for me.

Cause its sitting under 40lbs of insulation and the driver has 6" of insulated glass between him and the outside. He couldnt hear a LIT UP FIRE TRUCK with horns, sirens and lights.. WITH a 5 CAR ESCORT barrelling down behind him... IF IT PHYSICALLY CAME THROUGH HIS CAR.

These aren't bad qualities.
You are one of the few *INTELLIGENT* humans left on this earth. Most companies don't make cars like this anymore (OK the Mercedes S class is an exception). Super-hyper-QUIET vehicles that are DEAD quiet even at *HIGH REVS* and also ride like you're *FLOATING ON AIR.* *_THAT_* is what a *LUXURY* vehicle is supposed to be!! (rollseyes). Retarded car companies, with mentally retarded CEOs don't understand that anymore!! Can you hear me *LEXUS??* (rollseyes).
Job welldone Doug & Hyundai ❤️
My LS400 is 23 yo now and everything...yes, all the accessories, warning lights, chimes, audio, etc. still work perfectly. Have replaced the usual wear items. It had its first significant repair (cam phaser) and VVTi solenoid last year! It's my daily driver and hopefully will remain so for many more years.

no! god no! the sensor is just an IR receiver for the remote. The message won't work if you don't point the remote in that general area.
Zecrid I’m surprised I had to scroll this far to see this comment. It’s so obvious!
doug is real fucking stupid
It’s probably both. Your body gives off IR too
I read that in Michael Scott’s voice
@@tobiasgebhardt1, why the insults? If you don't like his reviews, just don't watch them. There is no need to insult him even if his review is bad for you.
"Intense comfort..." 😂😂😂😂
Someday I'll be driving down the road and I'll see Doug with a car in a parking lot talking to his cameras.
"there's no Hyundai logo anywhere on this car"
20:45 window
Lol good job😃
There is no Toyota logo on a Lexus!
Bruce Grant yes because it’s not a Toyota technically
@@vurph1 it is though
these cars are so hard to find. I'd love to have one.
U can find them on cargurus, they might not be close to u though
I just found a equus 2012 (107k miles) in cargurus for 10K lol , visit cargurus.com u have plenty of them there
@@kr1ss00 wow 10k ?! That’s a steal ! I have the signature 6 years old we paid full price then lol - we love it anyway! Great car
They're hard to find because they didn't sell very many.
Next up on Hoovies Garage: "Here's why I sold my Hyundai Equus"
It’s too reliable
He's a dealer. He buys for a profit to sell a few weeks later. Just a matter of time before he sells this one.
No blank switches which makes it better than a Mercedes
You can get a similar specified S550 from 2012 for 15,000 dollars in my area.
Part of the experience with German luxury is knowing how much more you could have gotten, had you ticked off another $20k in the options list.
@@anasevi9456 ANother part is knowing how much it'll cost to repair anything after the warranty runs out.
It will make it too 100k stress free thats also what makes is better....and in the long run trust me the benz will be worth less
Doug, the type of guy who keeps his head super close to the opening trunk in order to create dramatic suspense 😀
And to show us how confident he is and how well does he know the parameters of each car 🤓
This dude's commentary at the end alone is going to make me subscribe!
*Doug filming*
Bird: "hold my worms"
The American Equus came with the Hyundai Corporate logo on the trunk. Owners change them to the Korean market emblem which is a stylized Pegasus. I have one and love it sooo much.
My dad bought one of these because of Doug and it's been so nice. We love taking it on trips
Thanks for a great review again Doug. Sure I love cars but your reviews are fun in more ways. Always get a smile on my face :). That car seems pretty epic but I wonder how much the mileage is. I bet it consumes quite much gas (not like Mercedes dont). Cheap to buy for sure, drive...not that much I guess.
First thing the came to my mind: Phaeton 2.0.
Glad you concur.
But in terms of reliability and maintenance costs, the real pheaton will beat even the most expensive supercars :D
@@movario phaeton is massively reliable
The Equus is a cheap version of the S Class but also has lots of little corners cut as Doug pointed out. The Phaeton has no cut corners. It's as nice as an A8, just has a VW badge on it instead of 4 rings.
@@tren133 I agree 100%: the Phaeton was a legit great car.
I can't believe I just watched ALL 25 mins of a Hyundai Equus review. Good stuff as always Doug.
I don't think I've ever seen one in real life.
I once saw this beauty and always figured our which car was this
Just bought my equus ultimate and got compliments on the ride home. They’re very rare here in DC
How's the car, 4 months later?
Last time I was in dc I saw a guy Fuckkng a hooker in the woods
I think the emergency options is for where you go, not the places to avoid.
I think so to. Like avoid an area unless there's an emergency...
I have a very similar infotainment system. Yea Doug probably gave it a half second of thoughts into it. He doesn't do much research. He gets a car then whips it. "quirks and features"
