  • people just wont accept that hyundai is triumphing

  • Hyundai...i do not like it,from design to everything else. Bentley Mulsanne, Amazing looking,super over priced,as always.

  • @FE33: BMWs have good build quality?? Muahaha!!! Even a BMW DEALER admitted to me that they are cars meant to be changed every couple of years. BMW and Merc rank below average on all major car brand comparisons for technical quality. I'd still buy one over a Hyundai, but NOT for build quality.

  • Offense to the Japanese, but go back to making cheap cars, because obviously the markets already captured by the Germans and the British. Since you can't make good cars, go back to making cheap cars that suck, people still buy them.

  • @FE33AR1 Hyundai is korean, not japanese

  • @FE33AR1 Cheap car isn't necessarily bad. It's low priced and better value. Hyundai gives 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. So, it will last for a long time.

  • Hyundai FTW!

    You know what does FTW even mean? -- 'Fuk The What'

  • Comment removed

  • People need to start taking Hyundai seriously, some of their recent cars are fantastic and easily compete (and in some ways, surpass) with Ford, Honda, Mazda, and what have you. Shit, even Bentley needs to start taking Hyundai seriously.

  • (about Bentley) "so killing bulls and endorses smoking"

  • always so weird when you recognize where something has been filmed

  • 70k,you must b out of your mind to buy this.In 4 years time it will b worth 7k if you'r lucky.

    I don't know why Americans like Hyundai cars so much.In Europe they r poor peoples cars,wannabees...

  • Am i missing something ? Will there be a second part ?

  • this is probably the most stupid, irrelevant comparison i've ever seen

  • motor trend should not make any videos stick to the magazine

  • i give hyundai credit it is a very nice car and they have come a long way in quality, looks,etc. but why would a dumb ass compare a bently with a hyundai.....they need to compare the bently with another 300k dollars car in its same class.....

  • LOL, commenter gone crazy. Point is Hyundai is punching far above their weight when images is still poor. Give them 10 years then nobody would be questioning them.

  • Comment removed

  • That dude works for hyundai this is a stupid reveiw the bentley will always be better then the equus My dads Toyota camy XlE has all the same things as the hyundai

  • @TheLiveAndLetRide LOL, which guy working for hyandai are you talking about. Executive Editor Edward Loh and Senior Editor Jonny Lieberman. Doesn't say hyandai rep. Read before you write.

  • @Neojhun essentialy him working at motortrend and knowing the facts of the hyundai is his job as jonny works for the bentlley.. i have a sonata and idc what u say it takes south koria probly one tenth of the time bentley takes, exspecailly when its hand made like all big name cars u pay for the name but compare any Nice audi or Mercedes and they would be very comparible to each other

  • @TheLiveAndLetRide WTF, READ BEFORE YOU WRITE. Don't just start bullshitting. Read my other comment, i was complementing how Hyundai was "punching above thier weight". At no point did i bad mouth Korea.

  • honestly....hyundai won in terms of praticality and number of features but the luxury brand of bentley is still there, as well as the aesthetics provided by dead animals... if you have the money you would buy bentley but if you can't afford a bentley, equus still seems like a really luxurious car

  • fuck it i want to use less dead animals in my car as possible its bad karma man

  • I've yet to see a Japanese car being compared to Bentley....

  • i will take the equus, because most of the stuff in bentley is in the equus. just like cadillac i rather have a cadillac over a rollsroyce because i had a rollsroyce and i thought why buy something exspensive while i can get tht in a cadillac.......like the cadillac ciel a rollsroyce been flagged for a rollsroyce. so cadillac might or will out beat rollsroyce..... even though my name is jay royce tht doesnt mean ill buy another rollsroyce.... and my great great great great uncle made rollsroyce.

  • Of course if you compare a Bentley to a Hyundai the Bentley wins. The point of this video is to show that a damn Hyundai is actually even being COMPARED to a Bentley

  • @koorider Best car money can buy is Equus and you go along with yours Bentley in which you have to select coffee holder Or elbow rest !!!

  • @koorider it shouldn't be compared. It is out of its class, maybe it would sell in Japan as a luxury car, but not over seas, where we have some standards.

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez U clearly have never driven a 5 then. I'd take a well equipped new 550i over the hyndai any day, and still have 10-15k left over....

  • @mammothborderDC sure... take a shitty 5 series over an ultra lux Equus. Your car will be parked in every corner. LOL

  • How much did Hyundai pay these morons to do this review ?

  • Cheap metals compar with gold????

  • this is fucking stupid. like comparing a rubber duck to a nimitz class.

  • @ir3a11ydontn0 very true, Bentley has been in luxury for almost a century, Hyundai just got into it after they got the first gen e-class chassis and built on that...

  • Come on, the Hyundai may be very luxurious but you don't typically but a Hyundai for luxury, and at the end of the day its still just a Hyundai. In the end the Bentley wins.

  • these guys have all the charisma of low-fat margarine, left outside on a hot day. Come on, you're reviewing a car, not a lot of garden furnitures.

  • @matanram they're comparing luxury cars? what do u want them to do? do 1/4 mile race?

  • I am a Ford guy and I worked at many dealerships, I.e. (ford, Jaguar, audi, vw, Porsche, hyunday , Suzuki) and hyunday has the best warranty. The cars would only come in for cosmetic stuff and hyundai covers everything..even light bulbs

  • a better comparison for the Equis would be against the competitive Lexus LS.

  • this is an ugly chinese fake bentley.. will start to rot in 5-6 years..

    P.S : I know Hyundai is korean

  • @ercanyesiltas Hyundai if you didnt know is really reliable and some of their cars are ranked one of the best ie the elantra

  • @xacuraxx do you mean 2012 elantra? how can u know about its reliability? it's only been 3 or 4 months..

  • The best bang for the buck doesn't matter for a real luxury car.

  • LMAOOOOO

  • I'd take an A8 W12 over both of them, hahaha.

  • At the end of the Day, it still is a Hyndai, and i'm sorry, but you could never go past that fact.

    People who wan't luxury often have alot of money ( i mean real luxury, like Bentley's, Rolls, etc )

    And i also think its quite ugly :S

  • @Exowar01 And the Bentley isn't ugly??

  • @talldude123 good point, it is ugly as shit, i prefered a millions times the old Bentley.

  • 2:25 it has the Hyndai logo on the trunk. Ive never seen that on an equiss. Usually its that other type of logo, which I cant even describe

  • Comment removed

  • no way in hell i'd pay 70k for a hyundai, it maybe bang for the buck. But that's it, materials in german competitors are better, a CRAP TON more technology, and they look nicer. Also luxury isn't about bang for the buck it never was. It's about living the life regardless of the cost.

  • Hyundai is a fucking joke. enough said

  • @Idontgiveashytt when they came out with their first car, excel, in the us, it was a piece of shit because of cost-cutting procedures. that was 26 years ago and ever since then hyundai has come a long way. because of the terrible first impression, hyundai was infamous for being unreliable even though they've spent millions and millions of dollars on research to fix that. their cars are not as bad as most people think

  • @Idontgiveashytt They got some nice cars now. and the value you get for what you pay is as good as toyota, honda and nissan.

  • What's the name of the song played during the Bentley tour at 2:39 and after?

  • 70k for a hyundai? I'm sorry people will look at you crazy if you spend that. Why not buy an A8?

  • @shoelace510 A8 IS 100K MORON

  • @shoelace510 A8 is more. Try something like a BMW 5 series or a Mercedes E class.

  • checked out an equus at the Canadian International Auto Show today...they are really cheap feeling inside...doesn't compare to the Bentley at all...

  • Hyundai all the way baby

  • Hyundai day by day made more good cars..Respect to Hyundai..i series,Elanta,Sonata,ix35,i40,­please check reviews,than comment again about HYUNDAİ

  • Comment removed

  • The Asian guy looks like my boss. :X

  • What a steep comparison. Car & Driver have a better comparison with the Hyundai Equus and the Lexus LS460.

    You can really tell that Hyundai was trying to make a Lexus LS clone just like Hyundai was trying to make an Infiniti G37 Coupe clone out of their Genesis Coupe.

  • Didn't really tell me much of anything.

  • They really should have broken out Equus as a separate brand, like Lexus / Toyota.

  • Los koreanos parami van mucho mas adelante que los franceses y los americanos asi que respetos para KIA-HYUNDAI

  • @leoneldominguez96 Bentley is British, and owned by a German company (VW). So why are you bringing up the French and the Americans?

  • @AlucardBRZ you are idiot Bentley is not owned buy (VW) BMW owns it. I drive BMW and my car repair manual says Bentley and has a BMW LOGO. And &series BMW is way cheaper and has way more than this Bentley.

  • The VAG is the Volkswagen Auto Group, VW, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Skoda, and Seat. Google the Auto Union.

  • I might not buy the Bentley, but.... $70,000 FOR A HYUNDAI!!!! Pleeze...No, just NO!

  • @chs75 Well a $70,000 HYUNDAI would rape any shitty C class, 3 series, 5 series, and audi a4, a5... in quality, luxyry, options, technology and performance features

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez For $70,000 I should hope that it would out class a C-class, and the like. Look, anybody should be able to buy whatever makes them happy, but, I did happen to notice that none of your comparisons were on par with the models that Hyundai was hoping to compete with; S600, LS600h, 760Li, XJL, A8...just their inferior models, i'm just saying.

  • @chs75 Hyndai is a value car. Just like you have a value cheese in Wall-mart you get a value car. Which cheese do you buy"? 70k is a lot of money. I calculated that if I have 70k I probably make good money, therefore I can buy much better car for 130k. Like BMW 760li . It has more than both Bentley and Hyndai. It is more powerful and it is a solid car. Go do one test. Open a door in Hyndai and see how it feels. Feels light isn't it? If you open a Mercedess Benz door, it is solid.

  • @chs75 Well... my point is that not any BMW, Mercedes or Audi is better than a Hyundai. And no. Again an Equus would look a c class or 3 series look like a corolla. Im just sayin

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez Get your facts first. 300sh HP Hyndai is no match for C class or Premium 3 series BMW , just because it is a big lousy heavy car. Luxury yes, but none of the cars you mentioned are luxury cars. And buy the way Audi A4 and A5 are nearly twice cheaper than this Hyndai. And one more thing Audi A5 will have more performance than this Korean. And if you have 70k you might as well buy a better car, just saying

  • @aleksankazakov Well Premium 3 series has not even half of options and luxury that an Equus has. the New Genesis coupe V6 with 350HP would eat alive any regular shitty 3 Series. An Equus much more car for the money and luxury than any shitty C class or 3 series or A4. Just saying.

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez You still sound like you have no idea. BMW 3 series was never made for luxury!!!!!!!!!!!!! God help you! It was made for being a small street car. How ever they made it so good that it is on the top 10 best cars every year !!!! It has 300Hp twin turbo I6 engine with VANOS. Hyndai is made out of cheap plastic and cheap sheet metal. Something like they make spinach cans from.

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez well, considering they want 30gs more than a 3 series or an a4(which i would never pay for this shitty car) i would expect it to have more features. I would not even waste 50gs on a hyndaiiai

  • @mammothborderDC Well I would wast 50k any time than 40gs in a shitty 5 series or a C class. :D

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez I wouldn't call any of those cars s----y, because the build quality of those can beat the heck out of any Korean assembled Hyundai! So your trying to compare a MERCEDES-BENZ or an AUDI to a HYUNDAI? Give me a break bro!

  • @perlewitzaudio How can a basic A3, C class or a 3 Series beat a $50K ultra lux V8 like the Equus?. Sorry listen yourself and you will realize your full of Shit. Plus Korea makes electronics, jet fighters and vessels that no shitty German can touch. :D

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez Well, I know that those cars aren't really near as equipped as an Equus. But I DO admit that the Equus is a really nice and well equipped car for the money, because I sat in one at the auto show. I actually was relating to the higher end Mercs, and Beamers and Audi like the 750il, S550 and A8. Sorry for the miss communication bro. But like I said, the Equus is a GREAT value for the money! :)

  • Comment removed

  • @Spetsnaz97x Im not comparing the S class AMG, Im comparing a shitty and common C class and 3 Series against the Equus. :D

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez Why the hell are you comparing entry-level luxo cars to flagship sedans?? Cause that's all the Equss can be compared to. And why the hell are they shitty all of a sudden? They look alright, drive alright, have plenty of luxury features, have tons of body styles, etc. And who gives a crap if they are common, I see tons of S-Classes, 7s, and A8s where I live, so it must mean they are shitty too? The Equus is great for the $, but they shouldn't get too cocky all of a sudden.

  • @Spetsnaz97x Well my point is that no any German car is better than any Korean car. And I demonstrated clearly when comparing a common, cheap shit and basic C class vs a ultra lux Equus. In other worlds Germans need to be more humble.

  • Comment removed

  • @chs75 I drive cars for a auto auction house and when i get in the newer Hyundai's, am amazed on how much they have improved, their cars are epically better then before, so much so i actually would like to by one.

  • @chs75 That happened to be the market's reaction to the wonderful VW Phaeton.

  • @chs75  You really funny..Hyundai made great cars anymore..you must accept this anymore..

  • Also when the shopping cart hits the side of the Bentley or the teen driver rear ends it, you will be much more sad than the Equus owner. Its all about status. The Bentley probably has a real market value of around $125,000, same as an S-Class MB. The rest is wasted money all for vanity! God Bless the Wealthy!

  • @bubba871x u totally missed the point of having the bentley..its not for poor people in the first place so i don't understand the wastage of money part.. and i believe u are smart enough to figure out how many billionaires own a hyundai as compared to bentley or RR !!!

  • HYUNDAI 1:0 BENTLEY

  • I can see the difference in the build quality, material quality, and the engineering. Bentley is part of the VAG after all, plus I am willing to bet that the Mulsanne drives better and is much faster.

  • @redhotstanger

    What's the VAG?

  • Hyundai 1 : 0 Bentley

  • Estoy de acuerdo que el bentley es mucho mas caro, mucho mas carro, que el hyundai equus, pero me encanto el sistema de DVD del hyundai. Ademas el hyundai tiene muchas extras que este bentley tiene, por un menor precio, a pesar de ser hyundai no les parece?

  • a...Hunday?

  • nothing against Hyundai, but comparing it with a Bentley??? really???

  • @theonesillyboy thats the point, they we're clowning the absurdity of the Bentley and its price

  • @theonesillyboy i guess you're missing the point

  • one day it will get pass its old image..hyundais today have better build quality than the hondas and toyotas..hyundais have 100 000 thousand mile warranties ,now youd have to have a good quality vehicle to offer that...subarus had a negative image back in the 80s now they are one of the best cars on the road..

  • On paper the Hyundai should win this. Trouble is it's not in the Bentley's league. The Hyundai is still all about value for money where the Bentley is about pure luxury and performance regardless of the cost. It's like comparing an all you can eat buffet with a top restaurant. There's still the same food but the experience is nothing like.

  • I gather have the equs the bently looks old n out of style. Bently Is ridiclously price.

  • So Hyundai's message is sill the same with this car. Buy one if you can't afford something better.

  • @varunjaitly360 LOL and u have a... shitty Ford Fusion... compare that with an Equus... which car is shitty? hahah haters gonna hate no matter what... sorry that's just my opinion.

  • it doesnt matter if hyundai made a car that goes 0-60 in 1 second, its still a hyundai and every1 will still think its worthless when ur driving around in it

  • @reynian1 Who cares what other people think? Since when do people buy cars to impress people that they don't even know? The only idiots who do that are people with image issues. Hyundai makes excellent cars however I'd purchase a compact car from them vs a luxury car and that's not because I'd care what other people think rather it would be for personal enjoyment.

  • @7477238 many people do that.. thats one of the reasons why BMWs are so popular despite them having so much problems. I was also going to buy one despite the crappy interior and heavy steering wheel, but then people convinced me to buy the much better G37 instead

  • @reynian1 Well that was a smart move on your behalf. I drove an E90 325i and found the steering to be light, ride nice, handle nice and have that solid overall feeling. Only downside to it was that the interior was cramped and the seats were as hard as a rock, they weren't the comfort seats BMW offers as an option.

  • @7477238 you found the bmw's steering to be light? thats pretty impressive i must say. i test drove a 2008 bmw 335i and at high speeds and on the highway, i agree that the steering has an advantage, but in the city, it became quite bothersome. also when i braked slowly, it also made squeals, which was another reason i did not buy it.

  • @reynian1 Did it have active steering? I think it's optional, not all BMWs have it. The one I drove was buttery smooth.

  • @reynian1 ..........youregoing by the old image of hyundai..when all of u oldies are dead ..noone will think the hyundais are the old cheap cars of old.....

  • @angeloscity Yes they will, at least all western people will, it's in the name...

    A Hyundai, or as the USA calls it huundai will never have the appeal that for instance a Mercedes will have, it's frankly a bit daft that those Koreans keep trying.

  • @Catchaontheflipsyde well your comment is non sense... an Equus has much more appeal than a shitty mundane and common Mercedes C class.

  • @RamirezRobertoPerez no it doesn't... really it doesn't

  • Damn, Lieberman. It looks like you just rolled out of bed drunk. At least TRY to look somewhat presentable, you sweaty pig. lol

    How much do they pay you to not try? At least Loh looks like he's taken a shower and shaved. He should have your job.

  • This is ridiculous who even compares a Bentley against a Hyundai you got to be SHITTING ME XD!!! Korea is getting way ahead of it self with the Equus! What they should is reduce the price and wait a liitle longer for the public to get accustomed to Korean cars. As long as they don't market it right this could be the best car on the planet and nobody will buy it!

  • $66,000 for a Hyundai, thats the same for an Audi A6 is german made and same options

  • im sayin doe why the asian man gotta get the hyundai doe?

  • You buying for the brand not for the value.

  • I'm sure the Equus is a wonderful car. But come on. It's like comparing a $200,000 3,000 sq ft home in Compton, to a $2million 3,000 sq ft home in Beverly Hills. Yes, the houses may have the same size, but the location makes a big, big difference. Same goes with a Hyundai brand vs a Bentley.

  • I like both cars, Bentley sure does looks nicer inside and it's electronic instrument panel looks a hell lot nicer. However, I just don't think its overall 5 times the price tag nicer~ If you got the money, by all means go for the Bentley!

  • Terrible acting... oMG!

  • I love how most of you on here couldnt afford either car yet you feel can you frigging judge...and no its not a fair comparsion though as the Hyundai car is meant to be a cheaper luxury car for those who want some taste without a price tag as big for better wood and oooo good leather....oh and for Hyundai haters i bet if you took off the symbol you wouldnt even know it was a Hyundai so shut it

  • @brandonboivin agreed.

  • Hyundai have gotten to a stage where they can put all the technology into their cars, but the quality and refinement is not up to luxury euro standards yet. The saying you get what you pay for is true once again. However, I must commend Hyundai on this car as it must increase competition...

  • who in the fuck would compare a hyundai to a bentley lol not even close maybe hyundai to a honda or a toyota or Acura. but i must say thats a nice hyundai & awesome futures

  • Definitely would have the Hyundai over the Bentley. Not just the price, but it looks better too. I don't like the odd slope on the Bentley. Although I have never been in the Bentley, I have been in the Equus and it's a awesome car.

  • This is a joke... you cant compare a hyundai to a Bentley. You can look at similar features of both cars (Which i guess is the point of this video) but ultimately the craftsmanship, quality, and soul that's built into every detail of the Bentley is completely unparalleled. Its not about the number of features, its about the quality of the features and really comes down to quality vs. quantity.

    and.... who in their right mind would EVER spend 70k on a Hyundai!??!? r u kidding me??

  • There is more to luxury than just slapping a bunch of technology in the back. When you compare the quality of the leather, the details in the stitching and the engine as well as beauty and design the Bentley is just far superior. For example, the wood on a bentley is just so much more carefully crafted: watch?v=mQX_EpmGtmk While yes, part of it is the the badge that drives up the price (but with the badge comes a history and heritage of luxury cars that the Hyundai brand just doesn't have)

  • @pingfanny just to clarify, here is an example (slightly buried in my last post)

    watch?v=mQX_EpmGtmk Yes, you might think its unnecessary for this much detail BUT, that insane detail is what makes the difference in luxury between a cheap luxury wannabe and true luxury

  • menuda mierda de comparacion, es komo komparar el caviar con huevos de rana jajaja

  • How come EVERY single car comparison incorporates racial arguments in the comments?

    the Internet is one wild jungle.....

  • Those who can afford the bentley would never buy the Hynday even though the relation luxuary/cost is obviously much better. Its all about showing a fat wallet

  • it fits the koreans in the back

  • @YesImInThisVid12 Obviously you've never heard of Ri Myung Hun :P He's 7ft 8.5 in (or 234 cm)

  • I'd rather spend my money on an Equus. Its more worth it :P

  • Lol..the buttons on the Hyundai are plastic whereas on the BENTLEY….they are glass. On the luxury factor…they are incomparable.

    They should compare the Maybach and the Bentley

  • The Hyundai is a nice car but the Volkswagen "Bentley" is too much.

  • Although I don't usually agree with pompous elitist pricks.. Comparing a Bentley to a Hyundai is a bit silly.

  • as always Hyun "Die" Korean can only make kim-cheap

  • @sexyleerock26 <--- LOOK AT HIS CHANNEL HE IS FROM CHINA.... TALKING ABOUT CHEAP CARS.... :D

  • hahaha Hyundai vs Bentley :D so funny.

  • Fuckin chink compaering a bently with cheap korean ass.

  • OMG, Please dont compare a BENTLEY with a crapy shit hyundai

  • Can't stand that fucking fake acting.

  • Bentley is a Bentley period if you buy one this shows you have money status symbol, hand made car. If you are stupid enough to pay that much for a Hyundai well you just bought a very expensive and ugly looking car. And you will have to explain why you spent that much on a car that has no identity its just a generic wanna be luxury car.

  • hyundi? good for shopping car or Taxi.

    For the Luxury customer of course Bentley.

  • Funny review! But if I were going to have a chauffeur, SHE would be a racing champ and I'd probably go for a Maserati Quattroporte. Just because they sound awesome, and I could afford the repair bills.

  • my brothers rolls royce shits on both these cars

  • @aimalafgoon Too bad it's your brother's not yours.

  • @aimalafgoon and my dad's bugatti will shit on your rolls royce too. I drive a lamborghini myself. everyone on youtube has a nice car. maybe we should become friends hahaha

  • @moriS6708 im not gonna bother arguing with you

  • "I think I would like some water!"

    Puts it back in the refrigerator.

  • If I am going to hire a full time driver to drive me around, I dont think i'm going to go out and buy the cheapest car on the market. spend your 70 grand on a 5 series(or a merc/audi/caddy/lexus if thats your thing.) and drive yourself around in a car that is going to be much more fun to drive.

    Cheers,

  • Also, in 20 years that Bentley will still be a beautiful car, the Hyundai will either be rusted and broken down in a scrap yard, or on Kijiji for 500.00 obo

  • @brade07 Yeah Hyundai will be a rusted crap just like any CANADIAN car right? :D

  • Really for 70 grand there are a lot nicer vehicles out there, with most of the same features. Minus some of the stupid ones (recliner foot rest). Of the top of my head, 5 series beemer, merc e-class, Id even take a taurus SHO over this thing, for 20 grand less, with better economy, awd, more power, and still message and a/c seats

  • @brade07 I can understand a BMW or a Mercedes but u prefer a ultra luxury V8 Equus for a Fucking Ford Taurus? :D sure...

  • @MTSK56 Far to true about the rusted Canadian cars lol, but ya I would take a Taurus and you obviously dont know what the SHO is, cause itll beat an audi A8 V8.

    The hyundai might have a 4.6L, but the Taurus has a 3.5L twin turbo direct injection touque monster thatll eat that hyundai for breakfast

  • @brade07 Third world Canadians don't make crap... thats a shame. U will take a ultra lux sedan for a freaking Ford? again LOL
