Best value & greatest safety, comfort, and features of its class!
Overall we absolutely love our Palisade. It’s our first Hyundai and we are now committed to the brand. All the safety features coupled with the abundance of convenience features and it’s quiet comfortable ride made it our must have. The hundreds of reviews we watched and read before committing to buy sight unseen did not steer us wrong.
We needed this mid-size with it not being too big or too small. Our kids are all grown adults so we needed something that could occasionally carry 6 adults without being the size of a small bus. That was our last vehicle, a Ford Excursion. The Palisade can seat 4 adults very comfortably, with heated and cooled seats for all, and plenty of rear cargo with the 3rd row down. When I do need the extra seating a button gives me the extra space and we all fit no problem. Compared to the other makes the Palisade is the perfect blend of overall vehicle size and interior space for occupant accommodation and comfort. The comparison reviews pointed this out and they are not wrong.
We took a 5000 mile road trip to take our daughter to college the second week we had it. The ease of driving with all the safety features and highway drive assist made it very pleasurable on long distances instead of exhausting. The heated and cooled seats, dual pane front windows, and just firm enough seat cushioning meant everyone in the car had good driving days. We now have over 7000 miles and have had no issues.
It is missing a few key features like auto dimming side mirrors, power pedals, and heated wiper blades. Those aren’t features on every car we looked at but given the abundance of features on the Calligraphy Palisade we were really disappointed to not see them!
Regardless, it’s still an excellent choice for midsize SUV! Hyundai listens to their buyers. So far, they have addressed each model year’s owner concerns the following year. We like knowing our car manufacturer still cares about its customers. The wind noise complained about in 2021 is non-existent for us in 2022. Definitely take a look at them. You won’t regret it!
