I absolutely love this vehicle!

This vehicle has exceeded my expectations. I especially appreciate the safety features since I often have my grandson in the vehicle. The design, comfort and other features are also great! I would highly recommend this vehicle to others!

Not sure why Hyundai did not make this a Genesis

This car has more features than and Audi Q7 / Land Rover Discovery and is $20k less. A loaded Palisade has all the features as the Genesis s80 car. I am surprised that it does not have a Genesis nameplate. My guess in 3 years it will, as Hyundai is testing the market like when they first introduced the Genesis.

Amazing value with top notch technology

The reason we purchased the car is because of the overall value. Also, the technology is equal with some of the top luxury cars. One of the best warranties on the market.

Hyundai hit a home run with the Palisade

My wife and I stopped ny our local dealership to look at the Palisade. They had a rainforest SEL outside. Debbie test drove and we took it home. This SUV has a lot if bang for the buck. Great performance and styling. Drives great, very comfortable and looks awesome. It has a lot of cool features. Go test drive one you will be impressed.

I went from a new Range Rover to my Palisade.

What a car! It came with just as many bells and whistles as the Range Rover. I love this car and would suggest it to any and everyone I know.

Missing My Highlander

Like lots of things about the new Palisade. It drives nice, live the exterior styling. It feels substantial and sure while driving. I should have spent more time test driving. I think the interior styling is pretty, but nowhere near as functional for the driver as my last Highlander. The cup holders between the 2 front seats are a huge misfire. They disappear if you want them to, but using them is very inconvenient. They are not adjustable at all, and every cup size I have used has either been too small, or more often, too big. The center console lid opens front to back, instead of pivoting from the drivers side. And it is too far back. What this means is very little is in easy reach of the driver while underway. Only what fits into the lousy cup holders, which are always loose, and the small space adjacent, which also has the wireless charging area, and is also the ONLY spot for the divers phone. I really miss the Highlander shelf up front. The Palisade has a somewhat hidden bin under the center console, but it is inaccessible to the driver while underway. That is where Hyundai also hid one if two standard 12 volt accessory outlets. The other is buried at the bottom of the center console. Neither one is accessible to the driver while underway. In fact, the one under the console is particularly hidden down there.

Most beautiful, well thought out interior

Negatives first- dealer had the tires inflated at 50psi and shorted us a rear cargo mat. Other than those 2 issues, the vehicle itself could be rebadged a luxury brand and it would easily justify a $75k sticker price. Bought this car after owning a Lexus rx350 2015 model year. The palisade is by far a much grater value, quieter ride, far greater features and very well thought out. The lane keep assist is more precise than Mercedes, Lexus or Infiniti as it corrects before providing audible signals. Smart cruise allows for complete stop/start and permits intelligent logic once car in front starts moving. The limited trim is a bargain for everything it provides. The digital dashboard is more accurate and beautiful than any car I’ve owned. The Harmon kardon sound system can rival any luxury car. Seat comfort and width is heavenly. This is truly a breakthrough vehicle, thank you Hyundai for making the Palisade Limited and keeping it under 50k. First time I have paid sticker price for a car but this car is worth it.

Beautiful and very confortable SUV

Outstanding value for the money. Very comfortable to drive. Hyundai really did their homework when they built this vehicle. Interior was well thought out with the consumer in mind.

From Mercedes to Hyundai

My last family hauler was a 2006 R500... I loved it, it was powerful, had seats and drove wonderfully. But it was getting on so I was actually shopping around for a CPO GLS450/550 as a replacement until I chanced upon the Palisade online (before release). Test drove one a few weeks later and immediately knew that I was going to get this car over the MB. This car is the pinnacle of Hyundai to date, being their new flagship, they have not skimped on the tech and though it doesn't quite have the same level of amenities of a comparable MB, you're talking 80% of of the luxury, 95% of the tech, for 50% of the price (new). And then there's the warranty, which just simply kicks @ss over anything anyone else puts on the road (except Kia but hey, same company!). I have the Limited trim, which has everything I want and I couldn't be happier. Sound system (HK), drive characteristics, comfort, room, is all there.
