we picked the Palisade over the Telluride earlier this summer. 4 months and 8400 miles and still love it. just did a 5 1/2 hr each way road trip and had 25mpg at 75-80mph.

[@stevepowsinger733]

Tyler Humpfer why did you choose the Palisade?

[@tylerhumpfer2493]

@@stevepowsinger733 we liked the looks of it over the Telluride, and the Interior is also nicer in our oppionion. but over all it's a damn good value for the money, and fit the size we needed. plus previous good experience from a 12' Sonata that needed nothing other then basic maintenance in 117k mi.

Came on this channel for an Outback review, stayed for your excellent methodology of testing off-road vehicles. I actually am using your channel and videos to settle arguments over AWD systems and differences between SUVs and the more serious offr-oaders. Keep up the good work!

[@derrynf565]

SUV is supposed mean sports utility vehicle. There is nothing sporty or utilitary about this vehicle. Manufacturers like kia and hyundai have ruin model nameplates. Nothing either of those manufacturers make a vehicle worthy of being called a grand tourer😑

Finally Automotive review with good prospective of the driver and the audience in mind and excellent graphics.

[@phillipdugan5130]

I LOVE the Palisade and Telluride. Telluride wins for exterior. Palisade wins for interior. Overall, I'd probably get the Palisade. BTW, those turn signal cameras on the digital dash are EPIC. I LOVE THAT feature.

[@apsb21]

agree. More executive exterior on Telluride, more executive interior in Palisade

[@JsGarage]

The Palisade and Telluride are in a league of their own IMO. The engine could be more torquey but there just isn't a vehicle with this much equippment and quality for the money with that amount of user friendly space.

[@NSUScooter]

Imagine this thing with a 5.0 or that 3.3T found in the Genesis lineup.... If they make this model into a Genesis with either one of those packages I’ll be one of the 1st people at the door

"Competent" is NOT the word I'd use

[@roshill2010]

Man if only everest gave palisade or Telluride interior would be my perfect car. I still don't like the approach and departure angle on this vehicle. I don't get full size suvs sadly in my country.

[@Macmathews1]

That may be correct for somethings, but certainly not true with regards to this AWD system.. That was operating close to a fail scenario.. Notice how much wheel spin he needed,, NOT GOOD.

[@OSheaShenanigans]

Agreed. I own a 2020 and love it. I also own a Wrangler...would.never ever take the Palisade off roading with Jeep club.

[@enchiladabonito6629]

I have watched a ton of Palisade and Telluride videos - your commentary/content is excellent and your video editing is professional standard. I can’t imagine how much work it is to get the tripod out, positioned, keep the vehicle in the shot, drive, review footage, retrieve tripod - you make it look easy and I’m sure it wasn’t!! Subscribed just based on that. Off to watch your Telluride segment. PS Drove a Telluride yesterday and if I buy it or the Palisade, not sure how long I will continue to shoulder check even with blind spot assist. I saw you do it, too, so I feel like I’m in good company.

[@tomtalker2000]

I have a 2020 Kia Sorento SX V6 AWD. And i believe the older dynamax AWD system is a bit more competent then this new Htrac system. Just my personal experience.

@John It’s not like Ford specifically makes vehicles for police use and have deals in place for police departments to be able to buy Ford products in fleets which other manufacturers such as GM and FCA simply don’t offer. Police don’t buy Fords because they’re reliable, they buy them because they’re cheaper for departments to buy. I used to have a friend who worked at our local Ford dealer and he said there was always at least one Police Intercepter Explorer in for something that broke.

I love my 2020 Palisade. I have had it for 4 months and still learning about features. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks for the information!

[@SOBIsHobbies]

Very solid review. While I was really skeptical about Palisade's exterior design at first, it did look really good in this color configuration. That silver color really works great with that huge chrome grill up front. Nonetheless, I still prefer the rugged looks of Telluride. I think with a bit longer suspension springs (about an inch or two clearance) and all-terrain tires that obstacle course will be a breeze for that all-wheel drive system. It still did good for what it is. And 99% of Palisade owners will probably never take their Palisades through that kind of course. Keep up the good work! 👍

[@GeoffreySantos]

turn signal camera should be standard safety to all. ;) i love it!

[@iamgermane]

NO TOW HOOKS. Car & Driver's long term test got a Kia Telluride stuck in loose dirt.

[@edwinabear3532]

I have owned both brands and am currently a owner of a Kia sorento and love it, so I would have to say I would definitely choose the Telluride. Some of the other reviewers I have seen show the third row it the Kia is slightly bigger (not by much) but with three kids and one of which is a 12 yr old boy that is already over 5 feet tall and still growing. It is nice to know that he would have plenty of room on long trips.

[@zacharymartinez9455]

this channel is really underrated. great content i subbed!

[@davidm3331]

After what I felt was a very thorough period of research my wife and I purchased the Hyundai Palisade (Canadian) Ultimate (fully loaded), agree with much of your comments in your review... we are very pleased with our decision after 6 months of ownership...I am now since we've experienced snow conditions here in Ontario...the ABS braking system is not as quick a pulsing system compared to some of my previously owned vehicles, it's been a little scary a couple of times when my stopping distance was way more than I anticipated. If you have any comments in regards to their system it would be much appreciated. I've owned many various types of vehicles in my 51 years of driving and I must say I'm very impressed with Hyundai's effort...considering this is the first year for this model...I'm hopeful they take feed back and make a few upgrades...i.e. better power seat for front seat passenger and a little more range of adjustment for the drivers seat (front lift). We did first decide on the Telluride, however changed our mind after driving both top end models...power third row seats, interior and exterior design, auto hi beam just to name a few different features. Loved your review....good job!

[@baginatora]

Hyundai is developing very well in terms of luxury and reliability for a good price. They're serious competition to all current "reliable" brands like Toyota.

[@martinr8278]

Toyota is overrated, they break down, have problems and also have difficulty on different challenges off-road. Go to any Toyota dealership in their service area at any day and you will see them loaded with repairs. Most people are just brainwashed from a few other KZbin Toyota lovers. That indicate they go 1million Miles never needing any work blah blah blah.

[@denism2171]

Just came across this competent review. I have a 2020 diesel Santa Fe with HTrac also. The "trick" is to shift the auto to "manual", engage 1st with the paddle shifter and "lock" ...it will "walk"over surprising terrain! In this mode also, hill descent is very good ...well as good as you'll get without a transfer case! The only thing I need is an extra 50mm (2") clearance all around ...not for rock climbing but to navigate sand tracks to the beach camping spots...

[@canadiantriple2441]

I purchased the same model & colour palisade you tested in this video in September for northern Canada. Really happy with all the safety features.

[@colourwheel5703]

[@ebok98]

The adaptive cruise is not meant for the driver to let go of the wheel. I use it all the time with mine but never let go of the wheel. I find it assists my driving very well but I never want to trust it over my own judgement. I hope that folks understand it isn’t self-driving in the purest sense.

[@phenix3st]

I’d take the Hyundai. Just more luxury and features for the everyday.

[@paulmartinelli4872]

You asked," Why isn't this a Genesis?" You said that twice. I guess you haven't seen the Genesis GV 80 because the GV 80 blows it away.

[@PK-eo8kp]

GV80 is a game changer in SUV category...

[@mas921]

GV80 is almost Bentley level lol

[@JCATG]

The Genesis GV 80 is actually made more for the luxury cruising type of drivers whilst the Palisade caters more to those who would somehow bring their SUVs along the rough trails with heavy duty use. 👍🏼 Either way, both SUVs have their own special use for more particular drivers.

[@CriticalDepth]

I was gonna say... There is so much hard plastic in there I doubt they'd want it in their Genesis line.

I personally prefer the Telluride; been a fan since they debuted. However truly, though perhaps more refined in some ways, I would still opt for the Subaru Ascent purely because I currently own a lifted Outback that I wheel presently, and though not perfect, has impressed me beyond measure, and has huge aftermarket support.

[@Onereelrider]

Your channel is great. Keep up the good work.

[@joelarson6884]

Your reviews are outstanding but I recommend you invest in a GPS performance timer to get exact 0-60 times.

[@drivingsports]

We actually have one. They don’t measure pedal down, they only detect movement (so it’s not really 0 to 60, it’s 1 to 60). Our test as it is measures how long it takes for the transmission to transmit power in addition to the actual movement. It may not be scientific, but it does produce information that is different than official numbers - which are readily available in many cases already. Is it the best way to do it? That can certainly be debated, and we might change our mind in he future.

[@joelarson6884]

Driving Sports TV Thanks for the clarification.

[@Therushingrussian]

Hey man! I really appreciate your videos! So much work you put in them! Don’t know though why your channel doesn’t have too many subscribers. Maybe because you don’t upload videos too often Thanks again! Your awd test series are the best!

[@budstep7361]

17:28 wow, I didn't even think of that! That is actually some awesome engineering to provide variable momentum to the other 3 wheels by spinning the free wheel and feathering the brake on that wheel! Edit: it's also worth noting that this is a dual clutch transmission, so this method may be required to avoid heavily slipping the first gear clutch of the transmission.

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Palisades don't have a DCT.

[@jmartyt9810]

The Palisade doesn't have Dual Clutch Transmission. It has regular automatic transmission. At least in the US. The AWD is clutch based, meaning it's engaged via a clutch based system that is located between the drive shaft and differential.

Recently purchased a 2022 Palisade Calligraphy AWD; there are still some areas for product improvement: add power folding exterior side mirrors, add sunglass holder in interior and add illumination for the overhead light buttons above driver and front passenger (the POI buttons are illuminated but the light buttons aren't, that's odd and an omission in form/function) and those rims on calligraphy trim are a bit 'loud', design something more classy the ones on current and previous Limited trim); and last but not least, consider adding hybrid powertrain as is offered on many other Hyundai products.

The review was going well until he compared Hyundai Palisade to the Toyota Land Cruiser. These are totally different cars with a drastic price difference. The Palisade starts at $31,550 versus the Land Cruiser starts at $85,315. That's a huge gap between the two and comparing them for the same reason is unfair. Personally, I think that the Palisade offers the best bang for your buck and I do love the turn signal cameras.

[@tfrogginhfroggin]

Great Review! We are just over a year with our 2020 limited. You get A LOT for the money. Interior is beautiful, love the exterior design, tons of room in the third row, the ride is great and does great in the snow. There are features we still are finding out about, example you can raise and lower the 3rd row from the infotainment screen. A few complaints: I wish the heated seats would come on when using auto start or we just aren't doing it right. The car seat latches are hard for kids to use in a car seat or booster as it falls into the seat crack. In our house, we are split in the gear selector. I thought I would come around on it, but still not a fan. I wish we had folding mirrors like the Telluride, we drove both and didn't realize it wasn't a feature until after we bought it. Wish list item, I wish it had duel exhaust tips on both sides to clean up the look in the back. Other than that, wonderful car.

[@PatrickRich]

sounds like you got a solid answer on the manga powwertrain issue we were talking about. seems like it does pretty well, though i still think Hyundai/kis is still a little overzealous of its capability.

[@drivingsports]

Hyundai’s tech department was way more open to direct questions about their system than Kia. It was refreshing.

[@Abbbb225]

at around 15:15, how can 50% of power be at rear if a lifted front wheel causes vehicle to stop? Unless one of the rear wheels was also lifted (which didn't appear to be the case) then something doesn't add up. If it were an actual, locked-in front/rear split (like with a transfer case), the vehicle wouldn't have stopped, since the rear axle still had traction. Seems clutch waits to engage until after significant wheel spin, or has a low torque bias ratio initially, and needs wheel spin to lock up further (maybe up to 50%, eventually).

That vehicle performed very poorly “off road” in my opinion, on a trail that appears to be doable in a Corolla. Granted, not designed for this type of use. But in the old days, all SUVs of this size would effortlessly handle this trail.

[@hendrahendra]

I think these modern SUVs has moved away from the rugged solid axles of the older generations. Think about the early 90s cherokee, land cruiser , g wagen. I'm willing to bet 90% of current gen suvs would go near any kind of dirt, almost all of them would be driven by soccer mums and shopping runs. So i would say current suvs are more about comfort and luxury than the off-road ability. How times have changed.

With the $5,000-$10,000 "Market Adjustment" Kia is charging for the privilege of buying a Telluride, it's definitely a no brainer for almost an identical vehicle. That's why I'm buying a Palisade Limited tomorrow, for real! Hyundai's electronic gauge cluster and extra bells and whistles make for more creature comforts for us old guys. Since neither one is a serious off-roader and both have just about the same driving capabilities, again it's a no brainer. I suppose when Kia finally gets the message, they will stop ripping their buyers off and leaving a "bad taste" in their customers' mouths and wallets! I mean, seriously? Paying $10,000 extra just because they can't (or won't) make them fast enough!
