Very Impressed!
I bought my new Palisade Calligraphy SUV about 5 months ago. One of the things I kept saying to my husband was, "This car HAD to be designed by a woman!" It has cameras almost everywhere. The side mirrors adjust downward when backing up to see low profile items beside the car, such as animals and children.
I love that the turn signals do more than just indicate you are about to change lanes. They also show you (on the instrument panel in front of you) what is in the lane beside and behind you. What a wonderful idea! Instead of looking over your shoulder to make sure the lane is clear, you simply take a quick look at your instrument panel. It's also a very ingenious way of encouraging people to use their turn signals.
The seats contour to your body better than any other that I have been in. I recently had to have gallbladder surgery. My right side was still tender from the surgery when I first started driving again. I was able to adjust my seat so that it literally wrapped around my back and braced both sides.
The instrument panel gives you a varies of display options. I prefer to see my current speed, along with the posted speed and any warning signs (school zone, curve ahead, street crossing, etc.).
The side mirrors, of course, light up when a vehicle enters your blind spot. When backing up, not only will the car warn you audibly about objects behind you, but you will also feel vibrations in the steering wheel.
The car has a very smooth ride and plenty of get-up-and-go when you need it.
The center console has 2 drink holders, a charging pad for your smart phone, and an ultraviolet sanitizing compartment. Now I have to admit, I knew a lot of people during COVID that were scared to death of getting sick and the UV sanitizing compartment may have been a brainchild of those COVID years. I don't use it to sanitize my personal belongings, but I do use it as a storage cubby, and it works just fine for that, too.
The 2nd row captain's chairs have plenty to space in between to get to and from the 3rd row bench seat. I usually leave the 3rd row seat folded down to allow for plenty of room for groceries and whatever I might be carrying in the back. But it sure is nice to have the extra seating when the family gets together and we go somewhere in the car.
Now, for what is probably MY FAVORITE thing to use...the parking cameras. I use those cameras almost every time I pull into a parking space. It shows an overhead view of the car, the parking lines, and anything around the car. I can tell exactly how far up to pull to be in my space.
There are many other bells and whistles on this car that will entice your senses. I've been driving for over 50 years now and of all the vehicles I've ever driven, this one is at the top of my list!
