I'm surprised he didn't mention the fact that the rear window shades are actually the same size as the windows. In the Highlander, there's a gap on both ends of the sunshade that lets unshaded light in, where this car doesn't have that gap. Edit: 15:44 for reference
Isn't that like how every Asian car brand developed over the years? Honda went from making the little City (literally the name is the Honda City) to making the NSX, same thing with Toyota with the LFA. Korea is lacking Supercars and they have the ability to make one, just no Electric version pls EDIT - I think everyone is overrating these Korean brands too much, more than JDM boys overrating their Supras. How about you all check better rivals like the CX-90?
I think that is because they blend in so well with the rest of the styling that it isn't weird, it is a nice aesthetic. They don't feel ostentatious or out of place.
I live at an apartment with a 22 Sonata Limited, and the remote driving has actually been handy for letting rear passengers enter the car with me rather than pull out and wait for them
I got a 2023 Hyundai Tucson AWD Hybrid, and I absolutely love it. The driving assist in these new Hyundai's are fantastic. It has a 10year 100,000mi powertrain warranty standard. First 3yrs of maintenance is free. Also the app is great, it reminds you of doors being left unlocked, can do remote start, shows fuel level, is how you schedule maintenance, etc
I was thinking about that myself. The great thing about those physical HVAC controls is when someday the infotainment stops being as good or responsive if you replace the stereo/infotainment, you don't lose the ability to change your climate controls like many modern cars these days.
The fact that the fan speed is still a touchscreen is very amusing, all things considered. Consider how much better it would be to use if it was just a knob...
Purchased mine in October '22, and just used my remote parking for the first time two weeks ago. I was very glad to have it. Cars on either side of me were parked too close to open my doors, and I backed in near some bushes and couldn't open the liftgate. I never expected to use it, so it was not a factor in my buying decision, but without that feature I would have needed to go into the restaurant to try to find the owner of one of the cars parked next to me.
In Korea, many parking lots/spaces are very small. In shopping mall lots, it's almost impossible to open car doors enough to get in and out comfortably. I dinged many a nice car with my 97 Sonata once upon a time. This is likely why the remote fwd/Rev feature was created.

You also can set it to show you what radio station you are selecting.
I think in American parking spaces designed for trucks the remote control makes less sense, but here in the UK our parking spaces are still car-sized while every new vehicle buyer here is buying massive SUVs so I predict this will be a super popular feature here
I'm willing to bet the back door not unlocking with the key fob in your pocket is a safety feature. You don't want someone being able to open the back door when you're getting in the front door.
Doug I love you for putting the equivalent numbers in metric system...I think you are the only american car reviewer that does this. Thanks for thinking to your viewers from Europe :)
That’s what the problem is, it works on the front but not the back. Most cars have it to where it will unlock all doors with putting your hand behind the front door handle.
@@michaelsteinbach Once you have it, you will miss it when it is gone. Our Atlas has the unlock on all doors and it is really nice getting the kids in. When I take out our CX30, with just unlock on the front, I inevitably always try to unlock from the rear doors first before realizing my mistake.
I have a palisade calligraphy and when i grab the door handle twice it unlocks all the doors. I believe its a feature u can change in the settings because mine has it
Hearing it's "midsize" when my 2014 Traverse is midsize, but obviously so much smaller than this blows my mind. This thing looks as big inside as our Yukon does, just not on a truck chassis.
good to see the sounds of nature are still there! that has to be the ultimate car selling feature! my 2019 kia ceed has the exact same. and i listen to them all the time /s
The fact that Doug and other reviewers literally are handed these vehicles to review on a silver platter directly from the manufacturers, usually have them for multiple days, and *_still_* can't be bothered to make a short phone call before posting one of these reviews to at least ask if some of the problems they've had with the car aren't just a matter of "user error" is honestly so disappointing, and frustrating to me. To have easy access to actual people involved in development and testing of a vehicle and at no point give them a call to ensure that your review of their vehicle is as objective as possible and is based on *facts* instead of a misunderstanding or lack of knowledge is just shameful to me. If these kinds of mistakes were less common, or if they were about more minor aspects of the cars (like glitchy functionality when customizing the UI theme/graphics or something) then I wouldn't mind so much, but in the past he's also falsely claimed that the different drive modes didn't change much, but that in reality had been significantly improved compared to the outgoing model and actually did cause significant changes in the new version that he was reviewing.
That's not new. The longer third brake light was and is a standard feature in the Calligraphy since they first came out in 2021. That's been the first indicator for me if I'm behind another Palisade, in knowing if it's a Calligraphy or not.
Doug that back door not opening without you unlocking it is actually a good feature because there are instances where robbers sneak up behind you and unlock the rear door and get in behind you.
We have a 2020 as well and when driving between NJ and NC, I've noticed that I'm far less tired upon arrival. The vehicle truly is a pleasure to drive. We're only at 26,000 miles though.
Im currently shopping for an SUV around 40-55K and im so torn on what to choose. The pallisade truely looks like the best value as even used SUVs are pretty much the same price as new ones!
@@this-is-big-john yeah. I wouldn't mind having a Toyota Sequoia but I've been happy with the Palisade too. She just hit 101,500 mi and still no issues.
@@flightmaster178 did you closely follow the recommended maintenance? I swear its as simple as keeping close tabs with oil changes and such with any car brand
@@this-is-big-john yeah. I'm pretty adamant on changing oil on time even though Hyundai says 7,500 mi, I do it well before then (5,000 for synthetic, or 3,000 for conventional). With that, I put a TON of highway miles on it with monthly trips from Texas to California. When I get back from my current trip I'm taking it down for maintenance and inspection being it's due for its 100,000 mi stuff.
WHAT IS CAUSING THAT GIANT FOOT-LONG GOUGE/SCRATCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE 3RD ROW SEAT WHERE SOMETHING IS DESTROYING THE WHEELWELL PLASTIC @ 17:01??!!!??!?
Does the remote forward/backward feature straighten the front axle before moving? Or if the wheel is turned will it not engage (or maybe go in circles?)
DOUG!!!! i actually loved this review. if i had the funds, id own one. That being said.... i currently daily a 2003 Lincoln Aviator- esentially, a 2nd gen Explorer, with way more quirks and features, and a vintage retro interior. you may find interesting the powertrain- Ford 4.6L modular V8. now its true that the Mustang GT of the same era also ran a 4.6, (iron block, 2V) however, ford threw everything at the Lincoln.... so.... Aluminum block-Aluminum Heads- Quad cam(4V)- 315HP mustang cobra power!!! 60k in 2003! in an AWD Explorer with the only 6spd auto that Ford offered at the time. BEAST!! I love my Aviator- I feel like im driving around in a Rolex!! You must review!!!!!! Love ya bud, congrats on all the success. I hope the demuro clan is living as well as they deserve!! P.S. I have a low-mileage 1991 prelude 4WS in pristine condition (68K) . #watchdougforever
Please don't buy these, I used to own both hyundai and genesis and these vehicles are terrible. Transmission failure and screens frozen when temperature is like 10 F.
I believe that the keyless unlock can be set for all 4 doors but you still have to grab the front door handles - my '22 Santa Cruz works that way - would be nice though if all doors worked that way not just the front two but at least all you have to do is touch the inside portion of the door handle to unlock all four (if you want to)...
Of course you can use the front handle to unlock all doors but it would be nice if they implement the sensor on all four doors. If you have kids you'll know why it's important. They will mangle the door handle before you arrive at the front door 😂
No offence to any Hyundai, Palisade owners. Hyundai, Kia, Genesis makes really good cars for many years now. I am also a Hyundai fan and also owner of a Santa Fe Limited with a V6 N/A engine and it has 153,000 miles from 278 miles and I want to use this car till it lasts.
I’m a big fan of moving the sponsor to the very beginning of the video. The Cars and Bids bit is the same length as before, but now feels much less like an interruption
Being unable to unlock the back door with your key fob actually has pros. I knew someone who unlocked his car then the moment he gets in, the robbers came in as well. Unlocking all doors is a security risk.
@@fredrce So if a 2000 X5 would be built today, it would be considered compact SUV. That would mean in 20 or so years the Palisade will be considered compact too (based on the current sizing trends). Can you please elaborate on how my comment doesn't mean anything?
5:35 I don't think it is a BIG deal. You already have access to that small tiny button on the Driver side door handle which can unlock with a press. You just do that w/o taking your key fob out and then open the rear door. I do this all the time.
It works but I had a car that would automatically relock after 30 seconds, if you were loading something in the back seats and took multiple trips it was a huge pain in the ass
I was behind the wheel in a rent Palisade, and it's so much upscale than a Explorer or Pilot... Some people in the business roadtrip believe the car was a lexus...😂😂😂😂
19:06 On Hyundai crossovers with a "smart key", the liftgate works independently of the door locks. So just lock the doors before you unload things, then when you close the trunk it'll be locked too.
The one thing I hope they improved is the road noise/sound insulation on this refresh. My wife has a 2020 Limited and we love it, except how loud it is on terms of exterior noise, especially at highway speeds. My 21 silverado rst is much much quieter on the highway than our Palisade Limited. Great work as always, Doug!
Agreed. My work colleague has the Kia Telluride and the road noise notable. What’s interesting is the amount of nonsensical articles online claiming the Kia and Hyundai are the quietest in their class.
@haroldbeauchamp3770 I'm glad I'm not the only one to be annoyed by this! I know this is very first world problem issue, but it does seem like they have had enough complaints that the issue is fixed.
I don’t know about other counties, but in the US the reason these are still considered mid-size is the competitions models from the 1990s. For example, the old Ford explorer, like the Saleen he reviewed, was considered a mid-size, while a Chevy Tahoe would be full size. Since Ford still considers the Explorer midsize, even though it’s huge compared to an old one, these get cross shopped with them.
I can't wait for you to drive the Mazda CX-90. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the new Straight 6 Turbo, RWD platform. Loved my test drive and seeing more on the streets.
I keep all my receipts for my 2023 Kia Soul when I go buy oil (usually from Walmart) and oil filters (I buy the 10 pack from a Kia dealer online which is cheaper) I keep all my paperwork of anything I do to the car just in case they say they're not honoring the warranty because oil changes weren't done often enough or something like that. With Hyundai/Kia you can't mess around. You have to do your maintenance and keep proof of everything. I even have a service log in the car in the glove compartment with the date, miles, and what was done.
@@shreddy_mcgnar6359 You sound like a Mercedes-Benz or BMW customer! 😜 No seriously, you should have gone to Honda or Toyota. I bought my Kia but it was cheap, $22k. Don't know if I'd roll the dice on a $50k Hyundai or Kia. That's a bit pricey. Honestly I like the Carnival but I haven't seen one physically in person yet, I've only seen them online. It's a different engine from the V6 in the Telluride/Palisade. And yes, Kias and Hyundais do not like dirty engine oil. I change my oil every 4k miles. Their engines are notorious for eating motor oil and most people have no idea until the crank locks up and it's grenaded. I check that dipstick once a week minimum. So far 8k miles and the 2.0L isn't burning oil according to the level.
I feel like Hyundai is paying you quite a bit to provide everyone a positive outlook on their vehicles. Considering the first thing you said about them isn’t necessarily true. They aren’t exactly the top competitors in their competition of utility vehicles. In fact, when most people consider a 3 row SUV, most people already know the prior generation of Palisade had electrical and transmission issues. The people who buy them are suckers that were sucked in by the design not the reliability. Most people turn elsewhere for a more efficient and reliable choice.
@@naveenthemachineonly in NA my guy because Americans and Canadians love oversized mall crawler lifted hatchbacks. Sales of the Telluride and the Palisade in Asia (aside from South Korea) is non existent as they're like $15k more expensive
I was just in chicago and palisades are everywhere. Time to develop more modern outlook on Korean manufacturing. This isn’t the 90s anymore they make good cars
@@NightwolfGamezzz13 what's your point? Doug literally reviews cars that are not sold in NA, that would obviously attract European and Asian viewers, there's a reason why he mentions his "European friends" often
Hyundai are great cars…….right up until they break. I have had 3 over the years, and have yet to find a dealer that has real mechanics working there. I have been Hyundai free for a few years now, and it’s wonderful.
Man, these (and other Kias/Hyundais) look so good but I’ve heard too many stories from friends and others about major issues and dealer wait times while they’re in the shop.
Wait times are a major issue with every manufacturer right now. Long lead times on parts and then the shops are still way understaffed. My friend has had his brand new 2023 F-250 sitting in the shop for three weeks now, awaiting a part.
I’d be really interested to see your take on the new Telluride as well. The interiors feel VERY different to me, that’s why we bought a Telluride. Also the huge Palisade grill is super ugly lmao.
I still think the front end of the Palisade is hideous, it looks like a cow that has a rapper’s grille. Perhaps the bovine appearance is Hyundai’s inside joke making fun of frumpy Karen’s that buy these? Not to mention an engine that needs valve adjustments in 2023…
Yeah, Telluride still better. Still waiting for Korea to make an Old School Style Pickups and SUVs like the ones they sell in Asia (Although they're just cargo trucks and SUVs)
I'll never understand why Americans keep cramming three make-believe seats where there is the least space (the third row) while having only two seats in the second-row where it's the widest. I'd like to see a minivan with American engine and European interior layout
i thought that the button that Doug said it is for massage is actually ergo-motion thing? i heard that its purpose was to inflate the chair with air so it helps the driver posture while sitting, and not really massaging
Uh...the massage function absolutely shows on the infotainment system. Three settings the button cycles through. Butt, back, both. Also there is a function in the infotainment system to turn on auto lumbar massage after an hour of driving. Recently drove 2,000 mile trip in my 23 calligraphy and it was amazing. Also as a side note. I have absolutely used the remote to get the car out of a parking spot....once. Someone parked so close I couldn't get in. Pulled the car out with the fob. It was great.
@@21Piloteer, One exception with Hyundai/Kia is the cheaper trims do have wireless carplay but the top trim doesn't, so you are right just not the top trim which is the dumbest thing ever.

If these kinds of mistakes were less common, or if they were about more minor aspects of the cars (like glitchy functionality when customizing the UI theme/graphics or something) then I wouldn't mind so much, but in the past he's also falsely claimed that the different drive modes didn't change much, but that in reality had been significantly improved compared to the outgoing model and actually did cause significant changes in the new version that he was reviewing.
Facts. I actually WORK for Hyundai 😉
you can have the rear doors unlock on handle pull in the settings menu
Only thing you missed Doug, the third break light now spans the entire length of the rear spoiler, the old one was only about 8'' long.
That's not new. The longer third brake light was and is a standard feature in the Calligraphy since they first came out in 2021. That's been the first indicator for me if I'm behind another Palisade, in knowing if it's a Calligraphy or not.
Doug that back door not opening without you unlocking it is actually a good feature because there are instances where robbers sneak up behind you and unlock the rear door and get in behind you.
Don’t put the car and bids advertisement at the beginning! The first thing we gotta is hear is THIS
I love my 2020 Palisade. Ive been coast coast multiple times, and it already has 96,000 miles with no issues at all.
We have a 2020 as well and when driving between NJ and NC, I've noticed that I'm far less tired upon arrival. The vehicle truly is a pleasure to drive. We're only at 26,000 miles though.
Im currently shopping for an SUV around 40-55K and im so torn on what to choose. The pallisade truely looks like the best value as even used SUVs are pretty much the same price as new ones!
@@this-is-big-john yeah. I wouldn't mind having a Toyota Sequoia but I've been happy with the Palisade too. She just hit 101,500 mi and still no issues.
@@flightmaster178 did you closely follow the recommended maintenance? I swear its as simple as keeping close tabs with oil changes and such with any car brand
@@this-is-big-john yeah. I'm pretty adamant on changing oil on time even though Hyundai says 7,500 mi, I do it well before then (5,000 for synthetic, or 3,000 for conventional). With that, I put a TON of highway miles on it with monthly trips from Texas to California. When I get back from my current trip I'm taking it down for maintenance and inspection being it's due for its 100,000 mi stuff.
Doug is the type of guy to wear Cargo shorts and a tee to a Porsche car company meeting
Not original. Dead meme. Keep your stupid comments to yourself.
WHAT IS CAUSING THAT GIANT FOOT-LONG GOUGE/SCRATCH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE 3RD ROW SEAT WHERE SOMETHING IS DESTROYING THE WHEELWELL PLASTIC @ 17:01??!!!??!?
All of RUclips: "MUSTANG!!!"
Doug: "Here's a silver square"
I still cant get over them headlights and taillights. To me the Telluride looks a lot better
Does the remote forward/backward feature straighten the front axle before moving? Or if the wheel is turned will it not engage (or maybe go in circles?)
That's a good question.
If the wheels don’t turn it’s a major limitation of that feature.
Yes. It does
It does
I make sure my wheels are turned before showing it to people - super cool to see the car straighten them out
That remote drive is very conviene in our GV80 when trying to seat my daughter in the car seat when some parks close:
this is a mid size for shaquille oneill maybe, also its nice to see you talking about cars that us mortals can afford again doug!
DOUG!!!! i actually loved this review. if i had the funds, id own one. That being said.... i currently daily a 2003 Lincoln Aviator- esentially, a 2nd gen Explorer, with way more quirks and features, and a vintage retro interior. you may find interesting the powertrain- Ford 4.6L modular V8. now its true that the Mustang GT of the same era also ran a 4.6, (iron block, 2V) however, ford threw everything at the Lincoln.... so.... Aluminum block-Aluminum Heads- Quad cam(4V)- 315HP mustang cobra power!!! 60k in 2003! in an AWD Explorer with the only 6spd auto that Ford offered at the time. BEAST!! I love my Aviator- I feel like im driving around in a Rolex!! You must review!!!!!! Love ya bud, congrats on all the success. I hope the demuro clan is living as well as they deserve!! P.S. I have a low-mileage 1991 prelude 4WS in pristine condition (68K) . #watchdougforever
Please don't buy these, I used to own both hyundai and genesis and these vehicles are terrible. Transmission failure and screens frozen when temperature is like 10 F.
I believe that the keyless unlock can be set for all 4 doors but you still have to grab the front door handles - my '22 Santa Cruz works that way - would be nice though if all doors worked that way not just the front two but at least all you have to do is touch the inside portion of the door handle to unlock all four (if you want to)...
Of course you can use the front handle to unlock all doors but it would be nice if they implement the sensor on all four doors. If you have kids you'll know why it's important. They will mangle the door handle before you arrive at the front door 😂
The keyfob driving feature actually sees quite a lot of use in the tighter parking spots in Europe.
Would mean the same w/o the useless word “actually”.
@@mavfan1 Thank you! The world is actually a better place thanks to you :)
No offence to any Hyundai, Palisade owners. Hyundai, Kia, Genesis makes really good cars for many years now. I am also a Hyundai fan and also owner of a Santa Fe Limited with a V6 N/A engine and it has 153,000 miles from 278 miles and I want to use this car till it lasts.
the fact that a suburban/ Tahoe is a bus
The ergo motion seats have a setting in the infotainment screen to show you what mode you're in. For some reason it is turned off by default.
I’m a big fan of moving the sponsor to the very beginning of the video. The Cars and Bids bit is the same length as before, but now feels much less like an interruption
Doug the kind of guy to use a blender in the back of his suv
Being unable to unlock the back door with your key fob actually has pros. I knew someone who unlocked his car then the moment he gets in, the robbers came in as well. Unlocking all doors is a security risk.
Can't wait to see what vehicles will be considered "mid-sized" in 2030/40 😏
Laughs in you will own nothing.
a 2000 X5 is still considered midsize, even though is sized like a compact suv today. ur comment doesn't mean anything
@@fredrce So if a 2000 X5 would be built today, it would be considered compact SUV. That would mean in 20 or so years the Palisade will be considered compact too (based on the current sizing trends). Can you please elaborate on how my comment doesn't mean anything?
@@johnnymichael1804 Sorry, I have no idea what you mean (tried Google translate too)
The first time we see the driver's screen it's showing 14.4 mpg. The next time it's 13.9. Interesting for a car that's rated 19 city/27 hwy.
Press car. A ton of idle time and parking lots.
Doug is the kind of guy that tries to make the word, "Square" an onomatopoeia.
5:35 I don't think it is a BIG deal. You already have access to that small tiny button on the Driver side door handle which can unlock with a press. You just do that w/o taking your key fob out and then open the rear door. I do this all the time.
But every time you want unlock rear doors first, you have to reach your hand to the front door first, which is annoying if you have small kids.
It works but I had a car that would automatically relock after 30 seconds, if you were loading something in the back seats and took multiple trips it was a huge pain in the ass
I actually appreciate the Palisade’s headlight placement. If one came up behind me, it wouldn’t blind me through my rear-view mirrors.
I was behind the wheel in a rent Palisade, and it's so much upscale than a Explorer or Pilot... Some people in the business roadtrip believe the car was a lexus...😂😂😂😂
Respect and props to Korean automakers for keeping physical buttons and even finishing them in a nice way!
Doug is the kind of guy to release a Hyundai video when everyone else is releasing a video on the new Ford Mustang GT.
Hyundai/Kia have done a great job filling the three row SUV gap between cramped crossovers and $90k buses made by GM. Kudos.
I beg to disagree
19:06 On Hyundai crossovers with a "smart key", the liftgate works independently of the door locks. So just lock the doors before you unload things, then when you close the trunk it'll be locked too.
I glad for Doug that he found new word "implementation", review became so nice and luxurious :D
The one thing I hope they improved is the road noise/sound insulation on this refresh. My wife has a 2020 Limited and we love it, except how loud it is on terms of exterior noise, especially at highway speeds. My 21 silverado rst is much much quieter on the highway than our Palisade Limited.
Great work as always, Doug!
I think that was a major issue that Hyundai addressed. My wife has a 2021 Calligraphy and the road noise (or lack thereof) is great.
Agreed. My work colleague has the Kia Telluride and the road noise notable. What’s interesting is the amount of nonsensical articles online claiming the Kia and Hyundai are the quietest in their class.
@haroldbeauchamp3770 I'm glad I'm not the only one to be annoyed by this! I know this is very first world problem issue, but it does seem like they have had enough complaints that the issue is fixed.
the fact that this is "a midsize suv" when it's considered a high-end huge suv in my country it's just mind boggling.
- @livingcoconut147's comment
Meh, its pretty midsized not that large in person
Bot
@@eugene44569"not that large" identifies a Tucson. The Palisade is straight in the "huge" category
I don’t know about other counties, but in the US the reason these are still considered mid-size is the competitions models from the 1990s. For example, the old Ford explorer, like the Saleen he reviewed, was considered a mid-size, while a Chevy Tahoe would be full size. Since Ford still considers the Explorer midsize, even though it’s huge compared to an old one, these get cross shopped with them.
Love the headlights, it's nice that somebody is making the choice not to blind people who choose to drive reasonably-sized cars.
I can't wait for you to drive the Mazda CX-90. I'm curious what your thoughts are on the new Straight 6 Turbo, RWD platform. Loved my test drive and seeing more on the streets.
I've read people saying Hyundai/Kia can be very tough about honoring warranty claims. Anyone have experience dealing with them?
It all depends on the dealership you go to. And unfortunately, most of those dealerships suck so the service will reflect that.
ask anyone with a theta ii
I keep all my receipts for my 2023 Kia Soul when I go buy oil (usually from Walmart) and oil filters (I buy the 10 pack from a Kia dealer online which is cheaper) I keep all my paperwork of anything I do to the car just in case they say they're not honoring the warranty because oil changes weren't done often enough or something like that. With Hyundai/Kia you can't mess around. You have to do your maintenance and keep proof of everything. I even have a service log in the car in the glove compartment with the date, miles, and what was done.
@@shreddy_mcgnar6359 an 80 yo man's bad breath - very evocative turn of phrase 😂!
@@shreddy_mcgnar6359 You sound like a Mercedes-Benz or BMW customer! 😜 No seriously, you should have gone to Honda or Toyota. I bought my Kia but it was cheap, $22k. Don't know if I'd roll the dice on a $50k Hyundai or Kia. That's a bit pricey. Honestly I like the Carnival but I haven't seen one physically in person yet, I've only seen them online. It's a different engine from the V6 in the Telluride/Palisade. And yes, Kias and Hyundais do not like dirty engine oil. I change my oil every 4k miles. Their engines are notorious for eating motor oil and most people have no idea until the crank locks up and it's grenaded. I check that dipstick once a week minimum. So far 8k miles and the 2.0L isn't burning oil according to the level.
How many recalls so far ? lol.. Will the drive-train last a few kms or go kaboom in a few months as per classic Hyundai.
Considering buying this….. really nice looking with great interior.
@dougdemuro you forgot to mention in the 2nd row headrests are winged like an airline seat. Great for road trips
Also forgot to mention the Alcantara headliner
FINALLY!! A Doug DeMuro video without those annoying intruders! The way it was and the way it should be!!
I feel like Hyundai is paying you quite a bit to provide everyone a positive outlook on their vehicles. Considering the first thing you said about them isn’t necessarily true.
They aren’t exactly the top competitors in their competition of utility vehicles. In fact, when most people consider a 3 row SUV, most people already know the prior generation of Palisade had electrical and transmission issues. The people who buy them are suckers that were sucked in by the design not the reliability.
Most people turn elsewhere for a more efficient and reliable choice.
You’re the one that’s wrong. Telluride palisade sales are going through the roof. Why else were they hard to find even before the shortage
@@naveenthemachineonly in NA my guy because Americans and Canadians love oversized mall crawler lifted hatchbacks. Sales of the Telluride and the Palisade in Asia (aside from South Korea) is non existent as they're like $15k more expensive
I was just in chicago and palisades are everywhere. Time to develop more modern outlook on Korean manufacturing. This isn’t the 90s anymore they make good cars
@@jc_47it’s almost like he’s an NA channel who makes vids for an NA audience
@@NightwolfGamezzz13 what's your point? Doug literally reviews cars that are not sold in NA, that would obviously attract European and Asian viewers, there's a reason why he mentions his "European friends" often
Love the look of it all black never thought I’d be considering a Hyundai lol
This is that kind of video when Doug came home and see that his lenses on camera were all greasy and think "oh, well, anyway"
Hyundai are great cars…….right up until they break. I have had 3 over the years, and have yet to find a dealer that has real mechanics working there. I have been Hyundai free for a few years now, and it’s wonderful.
The new Santa Fe looks bonkers in a good way
It looks ugly and it will break down or get set on fire. Korean car = low quality
Worst rear end ever. SSangg Yyong like.
The sound when you say 'this' at the beginning of introducing a car is just like the sound when a tyre punctured.
Doug the type of guy that would upload talk about a sleeper 3-row SUV video on the day of Mustang 2024 embargo release
Man, these (and other Kias/Hyundais) look so good but I’ve heard too many stories from friends and others about major issues and dealer wait times while they’re in the shop.
Wait times are a major issue with every manufacturer right now. Long lead times on parts and then the shops are still way understaffed. My friend has had his brand new 2023 F-250 sitting in the shop for three weeks now, awaiting a part.
I’d be really interested to see your take on the new Telluride as well. The interiors feel VERY different to me, that’s why we bought a Telluride. Also the huge Palisade grill is super ugly lmao.
Also I have 100% used the key back out feature on my mom’s Santa Fe. Only once, but I used it.
Can you review the Vinfast Vf8? I heard it’s the worst reviewed car and I loved to see your thoughts about it.
Doug is the type of guy who wipes his ass with a microfiber car towel instead of toilet paper.
I still think the front end of the Palisade is hideous, it looks like a cow that has a rapper’s grille.
Perhaps the bovine appearance is Hyundai’s inside joke making fun of frumpy Karen’s that buy these?
Not to mention an engine that needs valve adjustments in 2023…
Yeah, Telluride still better. Still waiting for Korea to make an Old School Style Pickups and SUVs like the ones they sell in Asia (Although they're just cargo trucks and SUVs)
Hahaha! I laughed thinking of a cow with a rappers grille!
"cow" is exactly what I was thinking of when looking at the side profile of this thing.
It's ugly from the front. GRILLE.
I'll never understand why Americans keep cramming three make-believe seats where there is the least space (the third row) while having only two seats in the second-row where it's the widest. I'd like to see a minivan with American engine and European interior layout
“Back in my day my Tahoe was the size of your kids Corolla”
Doug, you forgot to show the coolest feature in this car. With the remote you can move the car backwards or forwards while not being in the vehicle
i thought that the button that Doug said it is for massage is actually ergo-motion thing? i heard that its purpose was to inflate the chair with air so it helps the driver posture while sitting, and not really massaging
Uh...the massage function absolutely shows on the infotainment system. Three settings the button cycles through. Butt, back, both. Also there is a function in the infotainment system to turn on auto lumbar massage after an hour of driving. Recently drove 2,000 mile trip in my 23 calligraphy and it was amazing.
Also as a side note. I have absolutely used the remote to get the car out of a parking spot....once. Someone parked so close I couldn't get in. Pulled the car out with the fob. It was great.
That is the ugliest grill on any vehicle ... ever
Over 50K and it still doesn't have wireless carplay 2023🤦♂
Odd because the '23 Kia Telluride does...as does the '23 Honda Pilot
@@21Piloteer, One exception with Hyundai/Kia is the cheaper trims do have wireless carplay but the top trim doesn't, so you are right just not the top trim which is the dumbest thing ever.
Without the the rear window on the sides of the trunk and with the car's body lines it looks like a pickup and I can't unsee it.
I am happy with the practical physical buttons! Proud Korean!
Lifted minivan > suvs
agree, especially if it is a hyundai product. Toyota is superior
