I purchased a 2024 Hyundai Palisade TWO months ago and would not recommend Hyundai to my worst enemy! Initially I was stoked this was a major upgrade from my 2016 RAV4 that I had driven daily since purchasing new in 2016. My Palisade drove smoothly, had all the bells and whistles and I was content until it fell apart LITERALLY FELL APART. It is evident that corners are cut on quality when manufacturing takes place. Buyers beware do not let luxurious features deceive you they do absolutely nothing for you when the motor is basically on the ground and the company refuses to acknowledge a manufacturer defect.

I had a 2021 Hyundai palisade calligraphy my 21 came with Napa leather seats and surround sound system, unfortunately, I made the mistake of trading it in for a 2024 Hyundai Palisade calligraphy the 24 still says on the window sticker and all their advertising that the car has NAPA leather seat surfaces and it does not. It also states that it has a surround sound system and it does not. I wonder what else Hyundai is lying to their customers with false advertisement. I was at the dealership two days ago and I looked at a 2025 Hyundai Palisade calligraphy and it still says the same thing NAPA leather seat surfaces and they are not Napa leather seats and it does not come with a surround sound system like my 2021 did.

I have had the car for almost three months. I used it when my son’s family and others visited so I often used every seat. I have a Limited Trim with a tow hitch. I got the car for visiting family and also to be able to tow a small to medium sized camper. I have owned many Mercedes, BMW’s, Mini’s and other brands and this is the most luxurious. It is as good or better than the German cars on equipment and comfort, just not as fast. Ventilated seats, three rows of power and heated seats and all the tech you can want, which I love. My favorite is the amazing lane keep assist which practically drives the car by itself and the 360 camera for parking and not hitting things. Try to price a Mercedes or BMW 3-row with the same features and you will be at least $85-90k if not more. You could buy his and hers Palisades for the same money, the Calligraphy even has the massage seats. The car is quiet, smooth and absolutely gorgeous interior. I can afford most any car I want and I personally love the value proposition of this car and the low maintenance costs. The car plays a musical tune every time you close the door like a welcome. All my camping gear fits into the back with room to spare (and third row down). The only quirk is the rain sensing wipers do not seem too sensitive. I don’t mind no wireless Car Play as a plugged in phone stays charged. Once I tow with it I will write another review but if you want this feature know it comes with a hitch, ball, prewired with the wire kit for trailer brakes and a tow mode! That’s pretty cool. Full sized spare, too. If you want luxury, space, lots of seats and good towing capacity run and get one. You don’t need to shop the competition unless it’s the Telluride. I got a great year end deal on mine, too. Hyundai is improving its vehicles every single year. I have had three now (Kona, Tucson and Palisade) and they have all been great. Oh, I have gotten up to 26mpg on the highway but most the time my mileage is exactly like the ratings. As low as teens in the city doing errands. Not bad for a two ton car.
