2021 Hyundai Palisade Review | One MAJOR Change

[@stacisuttonchruma9585]

Just bought a new Palisade Limited on Monday. Absolutely LOVE it!!

[@duanedunn5648]

I am driving home with my new 2021 Calligraphy and it has no road noise and it does not stink.

[@JT-sl3ui]

Bought my wife a 2020 Limited July 13th and it too doesn’t have road noise. And we’ve been on several interstate trips since. Just something I’ve heard of to be an issue however we’ve never experienced this from the A pillar. But the stink???? What’s that about? We haven’t experienced that either.

[@richardprovost6148]

When I bought my Palisade I thought having paddle shifters on a large suv was a gimmick. Then winter came along and I realized how important they can be on slippery icy roads. Coming to a stop sign down a slope can be scary in Quebec, but using the paddle shifters to downshift before applying the brakes are a game changer, they help immensely slowing the truck without locking the wheels. It is also helpful when trying to pull away from that still position on ice patches…..just start from the second gear using the paddle shifter.

I bought my Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy white with black the same that is in this video and super happy with my purchase. The technology is so comparable to my 2020 Mercedes-Benz 450 4MATIC that ended up being a lemon after 5 no engine start with 3 tow backs to dealership and their buyback program with 5k miles. I recommend this Palisade calligraphy

[@eden20111]

Remember the days when everyone made fun of people for driving a Hyundai?

[@thirstypilgrim97]

Yep. My parents had a Hyundai Excel Hatchback for a while. I hated it, drivers side window would just drop without warning, all the way into the door. My mom finally totaled it one night.

What is the sweet spot in the Palisade lineup?

[@dearbulls]

Wrong on a few things for Limited vs. Calligraphy such as front grill, under trim, puddle light, etc. These are all Calligraphy specific and not available on Limited.

[@mohamedkorane5671]

Is calligraphy available in bench seats?

[@ganderson5023]

No, you can’t get Calligraphy with a bench. SEL, Limited and Calligraphy are standard with capt chairs. The SEL you can get with a bench but you have to get the premium package before you get a bench

The "new" Calligraphy trim level isn't really a "MAJOR change. In fact it's not really a change, at all. In 2020 the top trim level was the "Limited" with optional AWD. The Calligraphy is essentially the AWD Limited version. Re-jiggering the specs of the top trims enables Hyundai to de-emphasize the price increases compared to 2020.

[@radissimo1]

they are other differences too

Wow, this is a great review! A friend of mine suggested it to me. Since I’ve been looking into suv. So far, this is really nice! And the price is pretty good for everything you get. Thank you for doing a great job. I think I picked my suv. :)

[@spokes28]

I’m going to be shopping this spring and one reason I won’t buy the Telluride is that the rear turn signals are red and not the safer amber color. Can you tell me what color the rear turn signals on the Palisade are and where they are placed? Thank you, appreciate your video!

[@GFB280]

I won't buy the Telluride because there was no damn inventory to select from in Ontario. There was some level of selection on Caligraphy line, in my recent search...at least.

[@SirGregory]

I thought in the US using turn signals was optional, so the colour didn't matter?

[@wuufer001]

Does the gauge cluster display the navigation info/map?

The look of the vehicle will certainly draw attention as it's so different to many other models and brands with their heavy use of crease-lines. Should age well.
