The Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro - A True Winner
Because of my mountain lifestyle, I've been a Subaru owner most of my adult life. I switched to the Palisade XRT mainly because of the reviews on it --and probably because of some of the marketing by Hyundai. I have to tell you, "My switch was worth it." There is so much to like about this vehicle: power, comfort, handling, etc. In essence, the owner of an XRT has a vehicle that can travel smoothly down a highway and go off road when needed.
There are a few of drawbacks, but two them may be in the options offered on my XRT.
1. Transmission. It is true that taking off from a standstill in all modes of operation except My Drive has a problem from first to second gears. But you can eliminate this simply by driving in My Drive.
2. I've always wanted rearview mirrors that retracted when the vehicle turned off. Unfortunately, the XRT does not come with thses, although I was certain it would given its advertised terrains.
3. While the XRT comes with a dynamic GPS and Navigation system, it does not have a "Trip" odomoter option. You can only get a summary of your current trip, from start to stop, once you turn off the vehicle, but you cannot save the info or accumulate it, say with a Trip A and a Trip B option.
I hope this small review is helpful. If I had to do it over again, I would certainly buy the Hyundai Palsiade XRT once more.
