The 2011 Hyundai Equus for buyers

What to check on the Equus
NHTSA has 24 owner complaints on file, mostly about suspension, service brakes and electrical system. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 4.6L 8-cylinder with rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
It is rated at 12.8 L/100 km combined, so budget about 38 litres for 300 km. In money, 1,000 km costs about $224 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the Equus suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Space and size
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA lists 481 litres for luggage, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Rent the Equus for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $22.40 in fuel.
