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.

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]

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.

[@stevenmueller1112]

@@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.

[@kentbernard9842]

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.
