10 Things You Should Know About the 2011 Hyundai Equus
#5. The Equus Ultimate's rear seat is a great idea...for a longer car.
This is something you definitely won't be seeing in the next Elantra or
Santa Fe. The 2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate's rear seat is all about
coddling, especially the spot reserved for the passenger-side occupant.
That's the place to be if you want access to a multi-function massage
feature and a power-adjustable footrest. The former, operated with a
hand-held remote, is sure to be a hit with anyone fortunate enough to
enjoy it. But the latter has some issues.
Using buttons on the rear center console, the front passenger seat is
tilted and slid forward, providing room for the footrest to rise. That
all works as intended. Unfortunately, a lack of space between the front
and rear seats means even passengers of average height will find their
feet resting on the backside of the front bucket, rendering the
footrest essentially useless and marring a leather seatback in the
process. That's not the experience buyers are looking for when dropping
big bucks on a new luxury sedan.
