First 5000 mile review

Good car, would like it to be a little smaller. Hybrid performance is seamless.

A Caligraphy model should not be missing a cargo net nor a armrest bin

Good acceleration, good local driving fuel efficiency, good navigation system,handles well in snow and rain and is comfortable.

Hyundai review.

With only 1340 miles on my vehicle, the engine light went on, plus it said I've exceeded my maintenance by 126 days and I haven't even owned it that long. In addition, the air flap system needs work and apparently is in recall. The parts are on order so the dealer will have the car for over a week at this point.

Great once you get past the issues..

The car fit the bill for everything we wanted. The. The problems started. Power folding seats that are a danger and the "fix" was to disable them. So now a premium feature that we essentially pay for has been disabled permanently. The power seats in the second row randomly stop working. The heated and ventilated seats also only turn on for 5 to 10 seconds before turning off....

2026 Palisade Caligraphy Hybrid 2500 miles

Comfortable ride and lots of features and roomy interior but some flaws in design. Transmission is not smooth in shifting at times and gas mileage is not as good as other hybrids in the same category. Defective air flap from factory that took three weeks to fix.

1 and done with Hyundai

We got the car and loved driving it. Then seats tried to crush my son automatically one day. Now that feature no longer works. 450 miles on a brand new car check engine light comes on. The dealer is worthless and it has been over 2months with the light on and still not fixing the issue. Then today I get a text message not a phone call. Bring your car in to be fixed. Oh but we cant give you a rental car. Even though when I spoke to the service rep he assured me I would have a rental. In the final text message he would let me know when he had a rental car for me to use while my brand new car is being worked on again. This will be the last hyundai we own. PS louisville Hyundai does not value there customers.

First hybrid

This is my first hybrid. It is very comfortable. The drivers seat has a back massage option where it messages your back every 30 minutes. The riders seat has a zero gravity position which is wonderful for long rides. The interior is pretty amazing with multiple accent color lights to choose . Being electric it has very responsive pick up. Not much I don’t like about the car. Today I drive 20 miles and had a gas mileage of 39.6mpg. Clearly the fuel economy is speed related but even on highways I normally get about 29 mpg and this is a large SUV. Everything is electronic So far it is the best car I have ever had. I have had 11.. I like this vehicle a lot

How's the Palisade so far?

Purchased in December 2025. Fit and finish of the vehicle is excellent. Performance and handling are also very good. The lane keeping is a little too aggressive at times which impacts handling slightly. Otherwise, handling is fine, as are some of the safety features such as adaptive cruise control. MPG calculations are somewhat lower than expected. Also disappointed that there is no option for a spare tire on US models. Was able to install a spare tire carrier on a 2023 Santa Fe very easily because mounting holes were pre-drilled and tapped. Not an option on the Palisade. No issues with the 12v battery as some others have complained. Also disappointing is the disabling of features related to the third-row seat folding. I would think there would be a better fix than disabling seat controls. Perhaps a sensor installed under the seat that functions in a similar manner as the air bag seat sensor. In general, I don't like the manufacturer disabling features that I may want to keep active, and that were part of the installed options.

Palisade review after 4 months

For a Hybrid/gas mix I thought it would be better on gas mileage.

26 Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid AWD

New purchase made at the end of February and we couldn’t be happier. We purchased the black exterior on the very light gray interior. The car runs beautifully and has a very nice look on the interior almost like a luxury vehicle. We are very happy with our dealer we used in Bentonville, Arkansas over 1000 miles away from our home, but we simply would not engage Florida dealers with the crazy dealer fees They are allowed to charge here. We shipped the vehicle right to our front door in early March. The color combination is beautiful.
