Default thoughts on a used hyundai equus

I see thread up here talking about the newer Hyundai G 70, 80 and 90. But what are your guy thoughts on the slighter older Equus which is the G90 now. Has anyone had experience with one?

I like the outside but the inside leather looks cheap to me

I’ve driven it. The only reason it’s impressive is that it’s a Hyundai. The G90 is a different story.

It's a Hyundai. The words "Hyundai" and "Luxury" should never be used in the same sentence. I saw that Hoovies video a while ago, but the second video really shows the cheapness of the interior.

Agreed. If you are on a tight budget then Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is likely acceptable but they're not a Lexus.

I don't disagree with you, but I've also found their durability isn't at the Lexus level (but I typically buy pre-owned and am keen on that).

New Genesis models are absolutely comparable to Lexus.

For the year 2020 the Hyundai Genesis brand was the J. D. Powers reliability winner with Lexus coming in in second place. And by the way, the review goes over the last three model years which in this case it puts the Genesis brand on the 2018-2020 model(s) time span. Certainly something to think about Not to mention the 10 year 100,000 mile power train warranty. I still love my Lexus LS 460, however Toyota Corporation be warned.....Just saying.......

You got a link to that page? The JDPower website tells me that both Toyota and Lexus were not included in the 2020 awards.....

I love the looks of the Equus. Never drove one though.

Genesis won the 2020 dependability award which Lexus had won 9 years running.
