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!
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.
I own a 2012 Equus... and the flying Pegasus badge in the back does not come on the car but everyone replaces the Hyundai emblem... but Doug didn't know that... but now you do.
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.
I’m pretty sure the “Sensor for Massage” is most likely an IR sensor for the remote that controls the massage functions. I could be wrong, but I just thought I’d mention it.

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...
@its lost 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).
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.
Cars that have a 10 in value Chevy SS Fiat 500 Abarth Mazda Miata (NA) McLaren F1 Hyundai Equus What a list Edit: Forgot the old Raptor Also the C5 Z06 now
All are terrible value except McLaren which went up dramatically in value. I'm sorry but anyone who thinks a Fiat is excellent value is a complete idiot. That makes no sense at all. The Doug score is completely bullshit most of the time. Especially fun and cool factor, they are just Doug's idiotic opinion that most people in the comments don't agree with.
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!!!!
@@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.

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.
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
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.
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.

Pretty sure dealership emergency is if something went wrong with the car
But the map setting is to avoid emergency destinations. So, avoiding the dealership for some reason.
@@GaryKetchum808 I thinks its actually to not avoid them. For instance you need a hospital in an area you told the car to not go trough it will still give you that hospital fastest route and discard the area ban for emergency.
That sliding drivers seat actually seems like a much better than the bendy leather bridged sliding thing in german cars. Doesn't LOOK as advanced but what the heck.. :P
For Service Hyundai actually brings an equus to you as a loaner and takes your car to the dealer for you. They were smart enough to not want you standing in line behind an accent owner.

@@bloodman098 this isnt original its overused i have seen it on almost every doug video.
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
@its lost
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.

All are terrible value except McLaren which went up dramatically in value. I'm sorry but anyone who thinks a Fiat is excellent value is a complete idiot. That makes no sense at all. The Doug score is completely bullshit most of the time. Especially fun and cool factor, they are just Doug's idiotic opinion that most people in the comments don't agree with.

WHY I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
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.

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.
Nice. Also your car probably went up in value after the release of this video. 👍
How has your owner experience been up to now? Very curious
You are a lucky man too! Congrats on finding that perfect car!
how has it held up? your equus
Hey man can u give me a update 4 years later? My neighbor has one with 33k miles on it for 14k and I'm thinking about buying it
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 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.

Shows how unprepared Doug is when making these videos. Too lazy to do his research...
Yeah and what he said made no sense
Yeah, I imagine the seat just uses weight to detect the presence of passengers like... almost every car does these days.
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.
Bluetooth calling killed me. Didn't get it
