2025 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition: The BEST Midsize SUV?

[@retgi1]

I like palisades but I'm an old chrome guy and just don't understand the all black thing. Must be generational. Anyway, these are really great cars in shiny trim & wheels for me at 76!

I’m not into all the black either. Prefer the regular Calligraphy. Thanks for tuning in.

@retgi1 I bought a 2025 a few weeks ago in the Ultimate Caligraphy in Typhoon Silver and it not only is stunning, but is an amazing car. It drives like a small car, but when I returned to my car the other day in the mall parking lot, I was a little surprised how big it looked parked alongside cars the same size as the Tuscon I had traded in for it. I just LOVE my Palisade!

It’s nice but should not have any chrome. I’ll upgrade my 2021 Calligraphy for 2026 model when it comes out.

I noticed the screen was not responsive unless you have a weird finger..maybe use the middle digit instead. 😊. Only thing I’m not sure about is the headlight design. The corporate cousin Telluride looks much better. I like everything else about the Pallisade and this is a serious contender to replace my Durango. Excellent timely review. Thx.

[@chabbysrides]

Yeah! I screwed that up, but the screen is older. Palisade is the luxury offering. Telluride has more rugged looks. Thanks for tuning in.

Does the palisade heads up display show Android Auto google maps turn by turn directions? Or is it only the Hyundai-supplied navigation?

[@chabbysrides]

Hyundai supplied navigation

[@PupsMom]

If you plug in your cell phone, it can use the google maps from your phone.

Piled full of options..very good design and build..far better value than a big Lincoln and less money. Why not a base Telluride with splash guards, mats and second door security shades? Much better value!! The power seat thigh extenders are a nice feature for someone with long legs. A reliable high quality vehicle, no arguement! Excellent review!

[@chabbysrides]

Thanks Louis!

The only thing I like is the driver console of the palisade compared to the Telluride combining the driver display and navigation display, Telluride did a terrible job on the display to try and save money. The Palisade has a lot less features and accessories compared to the Telluride. That Palisade trim looks cheap and old by comparison.

[@PsyrenZero]

They really fcked up by limiting it to black or white exterior paint.

2024 Sante Fe has a better interior design

[@PupsMom]

But the exterior is ugly.
