A Hyundai Equus is $65,000

[CLEAN_SET_OF_10]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

Not that I want one lol, just why is a Hyundai $65k and who exactly is buying it at that price.

[troko]

[triplebballer]

There's a Kia version too, I think it's called the Canine..

[james21561]

No thanks Jeff lol. I would much rather buy an M3 or a used GTR

[sauerkraut]

Blatant Mercedes ripoff lol

[NYFinance]

Spec-wise and luxuries/amenities-wise it's essentially on par with an S class or 7 series. They have to sell it at a pretty steep discount to those 2 because its a fckin Hyundai

[Tsudo]

I wanna say the equus is the top of the line Hyundai and they tried to make it as luxurious as possible.

Still wood knot bye

[musti82]

it looks okay in person(i saw in showroom) but u can get a mercedes cls, or s series or bmw 7 series easily for that money. at least those have swag

[TheGrizzlyMan]

starts at 59,000... and its actually pretty nice car, i was checking it out while i was at the hyundai dealer.. family might buy a genesis coupe

nonetheless rather drive a bmw/mercedes if i had extra monies

[knicksrbake]

i have 3 Hyundai's in my family. haters gona hate

[RazorRamonn]

look at the genesis sedan, pretty nice not gonna lie

[CLEAN_SET_OF_10]

Not a new one you can't, which is the whole point to the Equus being priced at 65k.

[YesWayNoWeigh]

looks like a mix of a benz and a basic ford

not sure is srs. those cost 30-50grand more at least.

used both would depreciate at the same rate

[GermanBB]

their quality of vehicles overall has shot up

[BadaBingBdaBoom]

If I had that kind of money I would just get a Benz/BMW/Audi.

Not a fan of the facelift. But specs are getting on point.

I had a chance to test drive it and its pretty fukin nice. Hyundai has definitely stepped their game up. Not as nice as a BMW but comparable to a Lexus LS series. Interior felt kinda cheap but it was nice and big inside.

The only downside is that Hyundai doesn't have the brand name recognition. Although in a couple of years I feel like they'll be up there with other luxury brands.

[SystemTrend]

never thought I'd see the day a hyundai is 65k

the point is you won't get the equivalent for the same price, but to me the brand value and quality is worth the drop off in specs, dollar for dollar.

edit: didn't know cls base is 65 too.. interdasting.

[EatingPancakes]

This. Hyundai's and Korean cars in general have gotten much better than before.

Interior of the Equus doesn't look that shabby. Never seen one in person, I have seen their sub-flagship model: the Hyundai Genesis floating around.





I'm guessing maintenance costs on them when something goes wrong would be much cheaper than if something went sour on a BMW or Merc.

would you not rather get a mercedes c63 amg, mercedes e class, audi s4, audi a6, bmw m3 or bmw 5 series for the price?

i know i would

[ct9a evo]

Hyundai's image is ruined in the US because they were introduced as a budget car company. Thats why when you see the price, you go wtf? However, they are considered mid range and high end in other places. That $65,000 car competes and beats most cars in that price range and more. brb ballin on a budget

[Ketnar]

Hyundai needs to do what Toyota did. If you enter the market as a cheaper car no matter how nice your car actually is, people are going to be reluctant to spend big money on it due to the prior reputation of older models.

Toyota came out with Lexus and it was immediately introduced as a high end car, rather than trying to make a toyota seem like it was all of a sudden a top tier car. Even though Lexus and toyotas are very comparable in a lot of models, and in some cases virtually the same car, Lexus has that brand image of being worth the big dollar.

If Hyundai introduced a new higher end brand of a car, they would probably see better results.
