Hyundai Equus car rental: a V8 flagship made for comfort
Drive a Equus
A Hyundai Equus car rental puts you in a 5.0L V8 flagship with 429 hp — and 2016 was its final US model year. Air suspension and a quiet, comfort-first cabin set it apart from other Hyundai rental cars on Turo. It came in two trims — Signature and Ultimate.
The Equus is discontinued, so you'll book yours from a local vehicle owner on Turo. Pick your dates, choose a pickup that fits your plans, and settle in — up front or in the back.

Smooth V8 power for long highway miles
The Equus pairs a 5.0L direct-injection V8 with an eight-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. With 429 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque on tap, merging and passing take little effort, and the power arrives smoothly. It's tuned for relaxed highway cruising, returns 18 mpg combined, and runs on premium fuel.
A back seat built like a lounge
The Equus treats rear passengers as the main event. By the automaker's own measure, it offers more front and rear leg, head, and shoulder room than its class rivals. That space pays off on long drives, when everyone has room to stretch out.
The Ultimate trim turns the back seat into a private lounge. Power-reclining rear seats with power headrests and cooling let passengers find their angle. Dual 9.2-in entertainment screens, rear audio and climate controls, and power side sunshades let them set the mood without asking the driver for a thing.
Air suspension tuned for calm
The Equus smooths out rough pavement with an electronically controlled air suspension and continuous damping control. The system adjusts damping as you drive, so bumps and seams fade before they reach the cabin.
Normal mode keeps the ride soft and cushioned — ideal for passengers who want to nap or work. Sport mode firms things up when you want a little more control on winding roads. Either way, the Equus stays comfort-tuned rather than sporty, with light steering that makes long stretches feel easy.
Stand out with a Equus
The Equus delivers full-size flagship luxury with a badge that keeps a low profile. New, it stickered at $62,450–$69,700 — big-sedan comfort that doesn't shout about it.
That discreet presence fits plenty of plans. Book one for business trips with colleagues, airport pickups for family, weddings and events, or long highway drives. If the Equus isn't available for your dates, browse other luxury sedan rentals on Turo.
Top Equus features
A final-year flagship with real history
Three features define the Equus beyond its ride: flagship heritage, driver tech, and front-row comfort.
The Equus was the brand's first V8 luxury flagship sold in the US. It stayed in the lineup through the 2016 model year, when production for the US market ended. After that, its flagship role passed to Genesis, which now carries the brand's luxury line.
That history gives every Equus trip a little extra character. You're driving a full-size V8 sedan that's no longer built — the closing chapter of the brand's first flagship. For car fans, it's a chance to experience that story firsthand, whether you're driving or riding in back.
Driver tech that keeps you informed
Every Equus puts a 9.2-in center screen and navigation within easy reach, so finding your way takes a glance. The Signature trim pairs it with a 7-in instrument cluster, while the Ultimate trim upgrades to a 12.3-in digital cluster.
The Ultimate adds a head-up display for key details and a surround-view camera for easing the long sedan into tight spaces. Blind-spot monitoring comes standard and watches the lanes beside you. Nine airbags round out the safety package, adding peace of mind for everyone on board.
Front seats that pamper the driver
The front row gets as much attention as the back. Heated and ventilated front seats keep you comfortable in any season, and the driver's seat adds a massage function for long days behind the wheel. A 17-speaker Lexicon audio system fills the cabin with rich, detailed sound.
Small touches make the Equus feel special every time you use it. A power rear-window shade cuts glare for passengers. On the Ultimate trim, soft-close doors and a soft-close trunk shut gently, and a hands-free smart trunk opens when your arms are full of luggage.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Equus
Get to know your Equus
A little prep goes a long way with the Equus. Check the trim, plan for its size, and budget for premium fuel.
Check the listing for the trim before you book — it changes the back-seat experience. The Signature has a three-seat rear bench, while the Ultimate adds the lounge-style rear seat with power recline and cooling.
The Equus is discontinued, so listings are limited. If none fit your dates, try a Hyundai Sonata rental or a Hyundai Elantra rental. For a newer flagship feel, browse Genesis luxury sedans on Turo.
Equus driving tips
The Equus is long, smooth, and thirsty for premium fuel. Keep these tips in mind:
Leave extra room in tight parking garages — the Equus stretches 203.1 in and needs a 39.6-ft turning circle.
Switch to Sport mode when you want the air suspension to firm up.
Fill up with premium unleaded — the 20.3-gal tank stretches time between gas station stops.
Pack your bags with confidence — the 16.7 cu ft trunk has room for luggage.
How much does it cost to rent a Equus?
The cost to rent the Equus depends on the listing, since each local vehicle owner sets their own price. Your Hyundai Equus car rental price varies by location, dates, trim, and trip length.
Planning a longer stay? Weekly and monthly trips often come with discounts, so a long-term car rental can lower your daily cost.

The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.
