I own a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy and a 2006 Honda Pilot with roughly 240k miles. I’m a loyal Honda owner, and was tempted to trade in my new Palisade once more of the Elite trim Pilots started delivering. However, there are several features that I think will keep me in the Hyundai for now: excellent highway drive assist technology, ergo massaging driver’s seat, ventilated 2nd row seats, Napa leather, 10yr/100k mile warranty. I was also able to get mine out the door below MSRP, which is unlikely on the Pilot for the time being. I love the Pilot, but the Palisade has impressed me and I’m willing to give Hyundai a shot for a little while.
Wow 240K miles and still going? Proof is in the pudding. Assuming your the first owner, that's a lot of memories spent in it. Kids going through school, kids going to college (amazing how much stuff they bring with them), family road trips etc...that is a service vehicle for sure.
I purchased my 2023 Honda Elite a week ago and I'm in love with this SUV. I was debating on waiting for the Grand highlander but after test driving the Honda pilot elite with AWD and 3.5L V6 I instantly was sold. It's definitely worth the money plus it's a Honda it'll last forever.
They sure will. I should know...I just retired one of my Hondas, a 30 year old Accord, and replaced it with a 2023 MDX Advance. Best wishes on your Pilot!!!!
Regardless how anyone feels about either brand, you can tell the reviewer was pro Honda from the beginning. He really just glossed over the Palisades' features.
I was in the market up until a couple days ago. I tried many suvs with 3rd row and settled on a palisade calligraphy. I liked the feel better on the Hyundai over the Honda. It does come down to preference, but I liked the Hyundai better
Just got my 2023 EXL Pilot about a month ago. I was shopping around the likes of the Toyota Sienna XLE, Mazda CX90, Honda Odyssey, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Pallisade and the Honda Pilot. My family has had Kia and Hyundai with mix reviews in regards to dependability and price of annual maintenence. Although I did like the amenities of both the Kia and Hyundai, it wasnt enough to sell me on them. The Mazda lately has proven itself in dependability and such, but the price point and markup was way out of range, since they are going down the wanting to be a luxury brand now. So, it was coming down to the Honda and Toyota family. I have always had full faith in Honda, and Toyota to a point. However, what really got me to go with Honda, was the fact that Toyota had no vehicles on lot to testdrive except pre-owned 2020 or 2019 which is not what I was looking for. They also had a markup of anywhere from 5k to 7k, plus wanting a reservation downpayment of 2k before you even got to see or drive the vehicle, which was non refundable if you decided not to buy the vehicle. Lastly, they only offered 4cylinder turbos with CVT transmissions, as well as hybrid. I didnt mind the hybrid aspect, as who wouldnt want better gas mileage. But at what cost, I didnt want to pushing all the power and torque with the turbo through a 4cylinder, and I have near zero faith in all cvt transmissions. Oh, and the Sienna had comparable storage size of the Honda Pilot. My final decision was based on all that above, as well as Honda having the vehicle I wanted on lot, only having a markup of 1.5k, naturally aspirated V6 engine with a 10spd auto transmission and not a cvt. Ultimately went with Pilot rather than the Odyssey due to overall needs, and Odyssey already being on last year of version, so not many updates on technology side. Love my Honda Pilot!
I got to drive both back to back over the weekend and felt the same as you. The Honda just drives and feels better, even my wife and kid sitting in the back felt the same. Plus it felt more spacious.
For someone spending 50k plus dollars, pallisade sure looks more luxurious and value for your money. Toyota and Honda have been arrogant& didn’t bring enough quality interiors and/or features coz they know ppl would anyways buy their cars. With 10 years power train warranty Hyundai should be fine. And they are not like Landrovers or Jeeps who break down easily. I owned different Hyundai cars since 2002 and never had a problem with engine/transmission etc.
I test drove all three recently, and as a second gen Pilot owner, I fully expected to wind up in a new Pilot Elite. After driving it, however, I was a little underwhelmed. The car doesn’t feel especially nice for something that costs $52k and the absurdly small, tacked-on infotainment screen is ridiculous for a new ‘23 model. It’s also a very long car and just felt a little too big for me. I also happen to hate push-button shifters (personal preference), so that was another deterrent. The Palisade is very nice, drives extremely well and is packed with features, but the styling is just not for me. The front end looks like a transformer caught in mid-transformation, and the interior feels like several different people were involved but didn’t talk to each other. The Telluride hit the sweet spot. The updated for ‘23 styling fixed everything I disliked about the car previously: cheap-looking wheels on the SX trim, silly Amber DRLs, and the tacked-on infotainment screen. The suede headliner, integrated dual 12.3” screens, soft-touch surfaces, refined ride, and loads of tech make the car feel even more expensive than it is. The Honda simply can’t touch all the features the Koreans offer for the same money. I bought the Kia.
@@sk-un5jq You might be right, but I'm planning to keep the car for six years and then downsize. The Kia will be under warranty for that entire period.
Test drove the Pilot Elite and the road/wind noise was really bad, also didn’t like the hard touch plastics everywhere with the tiny screen. Ended up getting a 24 calligraphy with Sierra Burgundy exterior and beige interior.
Does Honda have smart cruise control like Hyundai? I never buy cars without one. I hate driving on traffic and smart cruise control is the best at it since it drives for me
In 2023 built quality is about the same between the two vehicles not to mention most people won't even notice the slight difference in driving if there is any.. it's about looks, techs and safety features.
As someone who actually likes to camp and go exploring off forest roads the Pilot Trailsport is a clear winner for me between the Palisade or the Telluride. Neither the Palisade or the Telluride are really great choices for off road although they are great if you don't plan to do any of that.
Disagree. Toyota fan here but liked the pilot better, not the looks. And screen being elevated is kind of annoying. Didn't want to like the Palasade at all . BUT DID. Better back end looks, nice ride, storage under center console (u ignored) etc.. Still deciding though.
LOL. I didn’t want to like the Palisade at all. I’m a Honda loyalist. I test drove a ‘23 Palisade our Honda dealership had taken as a trade. Husband insisted and he was curious about the Palisade. I was surprised and impressed. Bought a ‘24 Palisade Calligraphy about a month later. Love it so far. I hope there isn’t any buyers remorse ahead of me, but it’s a comfortable, solid ride with some great tech. I don’t regret leaving the Pilot on the lot.
Why the pilot have the old entertainment display of 9”??? The honda accord use the newest and biggest one 13” . That weird pilot ots the biggest honda suv
Thanks for a lot of the helpful info! A couple things to help video aesthetics. Consider getting a wider angle lens (lower mm focal length), and clean the engine bays before shooting.
Good review, but I feel as if you glazed over so much. I drove Trailsport and it felt great but one thing was it was light on the steering like you said. The two factors to me are the lack of digital cam for Honda but the addition of wireless CarPlay…. Also love the hard cover storage option on cargo top.
I just test drive both. The Pilot is loud and engine is anemic. Noisier than Palisade. The Hyundai is nice, lots of features. Transmission shifts are not crisp and sometimes overrun when releasing throttle. Also see Hyundai with some ares where they are cutting corners, underbody heat shield, plastic where you should have metal, etc. I worry about quality of Hyundai and dealer said quality is good as long as you maintain the car. Honda seats were very comfortable.
You comparing one vehicle setup for off-road and another for street you should have compared the Palisades XRT to the Pilot. You keep saying what it feels like but you are not providing any context please give us something of substance that we can use to quantify your claims. You seemed bias towards the Palisade.
I might go with Honda just because Hyundai has refused to give us wireless car play and Android auto for nearly a decade. However, prefer the palisade interior overall.
My wife has a 2023 Telluride SX Prestige. It is not wireless. You can do wireless audio streaming but not Carplay or Auto. Honestly, with the refresh, I think they all get the 12.3 center screen now so none of them with do it. The pre-facelift the smaller screen allowed. They did get the OTA updates with the refresh though so once Hyundai/Kia figure out the licensing, they should be able to do a software update.
@@andrewlee9111 Agree. I have a 2023 SQ5 and it has wireless. Pretty glitchy. I still like the convenience and would use it in the Telly, but it isn't a deal breaker like some people make it out to be. I see the benefits of both. It does make the wireless charger a bit pointless in the Telly/Palisade though. I will likely have the phone plugged in for Carplay when i'm in it and it will charge that way.
i'd owned mostly korean cars(including genesis,palisade and never bought used cars in my whole life) for over 30years(i'm korean). recently i bought 200km used subaru and I realized that I finally bought a real car. If you wanna buy car? go for japanese machines. if you want bunch of features go for korean cars.
Man when all people can say is that 1 is better because it “will last longer” you know the other is better in almost every way. Y’all are crazy and just need to let it go. The palisade is better/nicer. It’s ok Honda hasn’t done anything for years now and selling you the same car they sold about 7 years ago. Y’all also need to stop saying it’s better because it will last forever when you trade you’re car every 2 to 3 years. It’s just stupid. The Honda is nice but not better then the palisade. Top trim to top trim the only thing better is the off road stuff I guess but you are not buying these for that anyway. Palisade interior nicer and better. Exterior nicer. Adaptive cruise control way better. Driving comfort better. Infotainment better. Sound system better. Camera better. Features better. Cooled and warm seats on first and second row and heated 3rd row. Blind spot monitor better and camera with turn signals on cluster on palisade. Palisade has nice ambient lighting. Only thing really I would take on Honda better is the pano roof because is one peace. I used too love Honda but they haven’t done shit and just comfy because people buy it just because they loyal too it so they just stoped caring I guess.
"The palisade is better/nicer" Except in what matters the most to many people which is how it drives. Huge amount of features but doesn't drive as well. Honda is lighter on features but Hondas consistently are more engaging to drive which matters to a lot of people.
@@almassengale yeah I guess. I am happy with my choice and the things the palisade gives me are more important to me and my family and that’s why we went with that but if you like Honda that’s great and for everyone who does cool. I just don’t get why Honda lovers get so mad when someone talks about the palisade. Not saying you just the comments I’ve seen. It’s like they get so but hurt because someone says a different car is nice and great and they want to just hate.
It seems like no one on RUclips knows how to properly compare vehicles based on trim levels. The Honda Pilot Elite is what should have been compared to the Calligraphy. If you can't get the proper trims to compare, don't compare them at all lol. Do them as separate videos. It's a win win for you because you get to provide more content while still keeping things realistic. Sheesh...
Several reviews state the Honda handles, rides and brakes better, thanks to the updated AWD system. I'm waiting for the Passport and hopefully they don't put fake exhaust outlets on it. Whomever came up with that idea, needs to go back to the drawing board.
I'm not sure about these reviews/ comparisons. I hate when a reviewer compares two different spec'd models. Why not the elite Honda is xrt hyundai. It may be because of availability, but to me, you're comparing apples to oranges, and it's not fair to either vehicle.
You kill the car when you talk about them. "with like the very nice premiume headliner" Don't mean to be rude but you review cars for a living. Funky cup holders? doug that aint funky thats designed that way to look more clean so you wouldn't have holes in the middle of your car. BMW Mercedes and alot more do that which btw I've seen you make videos on. Ohh and a gauge cluster who's half digital ain't never will be as cool and fancy as a fully digital gauge cluster especially when you are comparing the cuscus to the palisade. This isn't a hate comment towards honda but bro you make it so hard. Never once mentioned the HUD on the palisade
Instead of comparison, this video is more of, speaking out what you can already see in the video. 🤦🏻♂️ Comparison would be, better/inferior quality comparison on interior quality, how buttons and centre console are matt black in pallisade and Pilot has shiny finger print attracting buttons and interiors, how seat leather quality is different, how buttons of one car is metal look Vs platinum type, difference in suspension/ride quality/ transmission.
Honda could’ve done a much better job with the new pilot. I’m sure the drivetrain is better than Hyundai’s as It’s a newer car, but damn Honda uses a lot of cheap looking plastic considering how much they’re asking for this car. Also For a new infotainment system it’s still too small. Give me the palisade or Telluride any day of the week! The Honda might be slightly more reliable, but given Hyundai and Kia’s five-year 60,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty and 100,000 mile powertrain warranty that’s not really an issue until years later down the line and you probably won’t have the car that long anyway.
I like a car with DURABLE tried and true features. It’s not always about the latest gimmicks on the market. Add Honda’s reliability and resale value and the winner for me is the Pilot.
The new vehicles have to much technology that’s why no one can afford them. Why can’t automakers offer a basic model without all the gadgets. They need to give people a choice to decide what they want in the cars.
Se nota que eres un hondero. Jamás pagaría más por una Pilot que ofrece menos. Con sólo ver que al abrir la caja del motor usa varilla, ya es suficiente para notar que Hinda ofrece un vehículo mediocre en comparación con el lujo de la Palisade
you are wrong, Honda has more issues than hyundai recently. I'm telling you honda is going down now and hyundai is more reliable than honda ... you read a lot of post of problems in Honda froum.. again Honda quality is nasty now
Ben, I know you said in another video that Hyundai is "Dumping" the Palisade in America. Selling them below cost. After driving both, do you still think that?
The palisade drives and feels much better then the Honda in terms of comfort and luxury. I personally prefer and have the palisade. The pilot isn’t a bad ride and is decently comfortable, but it does get a lot of the small things right that the palisade doesn’t get right, such as sun glass holder, power folding mirrors, various cup holder spots , 3rd row lights etc. none of those things mattered to me so I chose better comfort and ride
@@amanti113 again, talk to a mechanic. I've spoken to many. Honda is far superior, no matter what the internet tells you. We are talking about ice cars, not electric.
Would buy palisade. Reason is simple… thieves love Honda and Toyota. I also like my safety. We all know who thief and smuggle cars but we don’t want to say it loud
why Hyundai gives more features in cabin with similar segment ? Pilot gives more sturdy & stability in terms of driving performance including off road which this guy felt too. Pilot is solid, its comparison is with jeep Cherokee not with kia and Hyundai.
I’m a 2020 pilot owner. Hondas are trash these days. Cheap materials, tech is very SUBpar and xmsn is trash. I have had hard shifts since we got it brand new, I brought it up with another scheduled maintenance and was told it is a known issue and all I can do is wait till it fails then they will replace.
I own a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy and a 2006 Honda Pilot with roughly 240k miles. I’m a loyal Honda owner, and was tempted to trade in my new Palisade once more of the Elite trim Pilots started delivering. However, there are several features that I think will keep me in the Hyundai for now: excellent highway drive assist technology, ergo massaging driver’s seat, ventilated 2nd row seats, Napa leather, 10yr/100k mile warranty. I was also able to get mine out the door below MSRP, which is unlikely on the Pilot for the time being. I love the Pilot, but the Palisade has impressed me and I’m willing to give Hyundai a shot for a little while.
Sure! All those gimmicks that put the Hyundai above the Pilot for you, are things that will break down in the long run.
@@ejohnson3131 you didn’t know the power of Napa leather… it gives an illusion of better ride and comfort, until you have to call AAA
I don’t like gimmicks and Hyundai has a lot 😂😂
Wow 240K miles and still going? Proof is in the pudding. Assuming your the first owner, that's a lot of memories spent in it. Kids going through school, kids going to college (amazing how much stuff they bring with them), family road trips etc...that is a service vehicle for sure.

It does come down to preference, but I liked the Hyundai better
I'm liking the palisade more...didn't want to. Surprised
Palisade,Telluride and Pilot are my top 3 choices in order in midsize SUV segment so far
Just got my 2023 EXL Pilot about a month ago. I was shopping around the likes of the Toyota Sienna XLE, Mazda CX90, Honda Odyssey, Kia Telluride, Hyundai Pallisade and the Honda Pilot. My family has had Kia and Hyundai with mix reviews in regards to dependability and price of annual maintenence. Although I did like the amenities of both the Kia and Hyundai, it wasnt enough to sell me on them.

Thank you for sharing!
However, I think you meant 2016 Pilot. That was the first year they made it.
The 1st year Pilot was 2003 I had it and put on 250k miles on it. Gave it away about 2 years ago and as far as I know it’s still running
8 months later and compare the recalls. Obvious winner, Pilot.

I'm not sure about these reviews/ comparisons. I hate when a reviewer compares two different spec'd models. Why not the elite Honda is xrt hyundai. It may be because of availability, but to me, you're comparing apples to oranges, and it's not fair to either vehicle.
Awesome comparison review for the 2023 Honda Pilot VS 2023 Hyundai Palisade.
Hyundai for me
You kill the car when you talk about them. "with like the very nice premiume headliner" Don't mean to be rude but you review cars for a living. Funky cup holders? doug that aint funky thats designed that way to look more clean so you wouldn't have holes in the middle of your car. BMW Mercedes and alot more do that which btw I've seen you make videos on. Ohh and a gauge cluster who's half digital ain't never will be as cool and fancy as a fully digital gauge cluster especially when you are comparing the cuscus to the palisade. This isn't a hate comment towards honda but bro you make it so hard. Never once mentioned the HUD on the palisade
Hyundai look so much better, Honda is so behind
The Honda Pilot's exhaust trim is fake. Look under it and see.
Ikr it's horrible. I would have brought one already if they fed exhaust thru vents
Hyundai 👍🏼
Instead of comparison, this video is more of, speaking out what you can already see in the video. 🤦🏻♂️ Comparison would be, better/inferior quality comparison on interior quality, how buttons and centre console are matt black in pallisade and Pilot has shiny finger print attracting buttons and interiors, how seat leather quality is different, how buttons of one car is metal look Vs platinum type, difference in suspension/ride quality/ transmission.
Tbh i own palisade calligraphy 2023 and its perfert 21 mpg
You’re a busy dude!!
hyundai palisade way is much better than honda pilot
Honda could’ve done a much better job with the new pilot. I’m sure the drivetrain is better than Hyundai’s as It’s a newer car, but damn Honda uses a lot of cheap looking plastic considering how much they’re asking for this car. Also For a new infotainment system it’s still too small. Give me the palisade or Telluride any day of the week! The Honda might be slightly more reliable, but given Hyundai and Kia’s five-year 60,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty and 100,000 mile powertrain warranty that’s not really an issue until years later down the line and you probably won’t have the car that long anyway.
The Honda infotainment icons and font is embarrassing. It looks like it’s from a $200 tv.
How much???
I like a car with DURABLE tried and true features. It’s not always about the latest gimmicks on the market. Add Honda’s reliability and resale value and the winner for me is the Pilot.
Can't wait for you to take the pilot trailsport off-roading
Im favorte palisade than pilot
The new vehicles have to much technology that’s why no one can afford them. Why can’t automakers offer a basic model without all the gadgets. They need to give people a choice to decide what they want in the cars.
I gonna perfur both of these vehicles Ben.
Honda all the way. That hyundai front end looks like awkward to me
New Palisade 🤔
Honda all the way. Just wish they put in a 12 inch infotainment screen like the one in the new accord.
Lindos carros
While I love the Pilot, it looks like a toy compared to the classier Palisade.
The most important is the motor.
"VTEC, bro!" LOL...this is a non VTEC engine
Bro, you mentioned sponsorship in the beginning.
Uhmmm... #justsaying
Honda all the way❤ - better handling, performance, and resale value.
Se nota que eres un hondero. Jamás pagaría más por una Pilot que ofrece menos. Con sólo ver que al abrir la caja del motor usa varilla, ya es suficiente para notar que Hinda ofrece un vehículo mediocre en comparación con el lujo de la Palisade
So a Honda fan?
Pilot
I would have to go with the Honda. It’s built better and we know the power train is better and will last longer. I also think it looks way better.
you are wrong, Honda has more issues than hyundai recently. I'm telling you honda is going down now and hyundai is more reliable than honda ... you read a lot of post of problems in Honda froum.. again Honda quality is nasty now
@@user-bd9lw9jp9t lol
@@ryanmac358 he's right ryan. Now go bac to carscoops trolling there.
@@maga6319 no trolling here bud. Just facts and figures
@@ryanmac358 facts that you've made up. Which that is your opinion.
Ben, I know you said in another video that Hyundai is "Dumping" the Palisade in America. Selling them below cost. After driving both, do you still think that?
I don’t recall saying that. Here in Utah the palisade is sold out.
@@BenHardyCars You didn’t use the term dumping, that’s me. Just that you didn’t think they were making money on them.
@@ledebuhr1 oh yeah, I think dealers do, but I don’t know how Hyundai the car company does.
The palisade drives and feels much better then the Honda in terms of comfort and luxury. I personally prefer and have the palisade. The pilot isn’t a bad ride and is decently comfortable, but it does get a lot of the small things right that the palisade doesn’t get right, such as sun glass holder, power folding mirrors, various cup holder spots , 3rd row lights etc.
none of those things mattered to me so I chose better comfort and ride
poor comparison, you should have compared to the Elite....
Getting these two together is hard enough, let alone being picky with packages
How can people honestly compare vehicles when the tires are different? Tires make up 90% of vehicles performance!
I was looking at a 2023 Pilot yesterday. That’s a outstanding SUV. No Hyundai for me.
Hyundai for me
Any mechanic will tell you that Honda will last longer.
@@CaliSteve169 no Any more these days.
@@CaliSteve169 Especially EV cars including Honda is poor than Hyundai and Kia EV cars 🚗
@@amanti113 again, talk to a mechanic. I've spoken to many. Honda is far superior, no matter what the internet tells you. We are talking about ice cars, not electric.
Hyundai is for ballers!
Those words have never gone together in history
@@ryanmac358 troll
you can't afford it
@@maga6319 lol come on
@@ryanmac358 spot the troll
Would buy palisade. Reason is simple… thieves love Honda and Toyota.
I also like my safety.
We all know who thief and smuggle cars but we don’t want to say it loud
👷♂️
Worst review/comparison I have seen on RUclips, you are not talking about specs, leg room head room etc.
Hyundai trying too hard too hard to fit in and it'll probably catch on fire...honda for me
Hyundai is way more reliable than Honda. Honda transmissions are bad as Hyundai.
I'd take the Nissan Pathfinder.
Only 1 choice --- Honda ❤
why Hyundai gives more features in cabin with similar segment ? Pilot gives more sturdy & stability in terms of driving performance including off road which this guy felt too. Pilot is solid, its comparison is with jeep Cherokee not with kia and Hyundai.
Honda. It’ll outlast the Hyundai and whatever new Hyundai is out when this one dies
Absolutely
Exactly
I’m a 2020 pilot owner. Hondas are trash these days. Cheap materials, tech is very SUBpar and xmsn is trash. I have had hard shifts since we got it brand new, I brought it up with another scheduled maintenance and was told it is a known issue and all I can do is wait till it fails then they will replace.
@@tallisonfuller2876 interesting. I'm very happy with my 21 Pilot. Arguably the best AWD system too.
@@CaliSteve169 why do you have a 2021 pilot and what did you have before?
Definitely Honda and I’m not a fan of either brands
Hyundai looks better but the Honda’s build quality is more important
Hyundai, not even a contest
Ask a mechanic.
@@CaliSteve169 wake up man.. are you still living in the 90s?
@@u0386 I've woken up. Korean brands are being pushed hard by the media, but the reality is different. Ask a mechanic.
hyundai is south korean same as chines while HONDA IS JAPAN AND HAS THE HIGHST ENGEN LIFE SO THEY ARE DIFFERENT
That Palisade literally looks like a hearse. Absolutely terrible design. The Pilot is also a waste of time but looks slightly better for sure.
2 different breed, more tech for Palisades, more rugged for Pilot
You’re already prejudiced in favor of the pilot over palisade before even hit the road. Shouted VTECH!!! 🫤
