Three years and counting, no issues.

Love our SEL. Perfect for long road trips with the family, and we've had a few of those. Gear shifter takes a trip or two to get used to, but otherwise, everything else is intuitive. Couldn't be happier with our family mobile.

Don't buy a Palisade!

Bought a 2020 Limited with 25k miles. I would very strongly recommend to anyone to NEVER buy a 2020 Palisade. I had SO many problems and it was constantly in the shop. Every time it rained, the engine stuttered, the entire vehicle shook and the check engine light blinked and then stayed on. It would do this until I got it home and it dried out, then the next day it was fine. It went to the dealership 3x with this problem... they could never find anything wrong (insert eye roll). The entire car would shake. The dealer replaced one of the 6 coils but that didn't fix the problem. It's terribly annoying to have a 50k vehicle that can't be driven in the rain! The dealer kept it for a week and drove it several times but couldn't get a read on the computer so they didn't do anything to fix it. The back hatch pumps needed to be replaced and I couldn't access the back because it only opened with the electric pumps. It took 6 weeks to get the parts and another 2 weeks to get an appointment to get it fixed. The ride gradually got worse and I heard noise of suspension in the rear, but when I took it in, they said it was all fine. At 45k miles, the wheels started to loose the silver coating. Painted wheels on their top line Palisade (insert eye roll here). It looked nice with all the bells and whistles, but it was very evident that this vehicle would not last over the years.

Perfect for us

I bought my 2020 Palisade limited all wheel drive brand new and LOVE IT. I had a 2017 Santa Fe and hated to get rid of it but so glad I did. The Palisade handles and rides great and the interior room is awesome. Even though it is mainly just me and hubby, we love the size!

My Favorite Vehicle Purchase Ever!!!

The Palisade has far exceeded my expectations. The 3rd row seating is spacious enough for an adult to travel in comfort. The Palisade SEL is loaded with all the bells and whistles you would find in a luxury vehicle for a fraction of the price.

Nice looking SUV for the money

I love the car but it makes a load wisling noise on the passenger window They keep saying there is a recall, but nothing yet after almost a year.

Perfect SUV!

Was previously in a BMW 3GT and was looking for a roomier vehicle. I never thought I would leave BMW, but when I test drove the Hyundai Palisade Limited, I was so very impressed by the quality, amount of standard features, the fact that it takes regular gas, the warranty, and the average annual cost of service. It truly is a perfect suv!

Classy Suv

We are vey pleased with our purchase! Was back and forth between the Telluride and the Palisade. Palisade is by far the winner. Very Classy!

My new favorite SUV

I never thought I’d love an SUV as much as I loved my 4-Runner. I was wrong. My Palisade has everything my 4-Runner had, and then some. Heated & ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, sumptuous interior, electronic everything, and it handles snow and ice like a champ. It’s a luxury SUV at an affordable price.
