I just got a 2024 Palisade Calligraphy and I love it! Coming from a 2017 Santa Fe Luxury... For me it fits the bill, we are grand parents and we don't need all the extra storage... We now have space for a full family vacation 😊. The driving experience and interior (light grey & dark blue) is luxurious, I do wish it had wireless carplay but it's not a show stopper... I do love the driver massage feature 😊

I bought the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe Calligraphy early 2024, I loved it..but after a few long road trips, I was very unhappy on how uncomfortable the seats were. I took it back to dealership, test drove 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, settled for it bc it was a tad more comfortable. I preferred the interior of the Santa Fe, but the Palisade is growing on me. I dislike the 4cyl on the Santa Fe, it always hesitated on acceleration from a stop. But my biggest complaint of the Palisade is traveling on highway n having to listen to a loud "howling" sound on n off, guessing on windy conditions and dire direction ur traveling. IT IS FRUSTRATING. I went to dealership n asked about it n if it could be fixed. They had no answer for me, just excuses. I've gone online to Hyundai car forums to see if anyone had the same issue n there were many people with same complaint but no answers. I am currently looking for another vehicle as I travel a lot n I cannot deal with that loud howling sound for hours...

[@silverwrx03]

The Palisade is much wider, I agree the design is older. On our test drive of both the Palisade was much quieter and the ride is far more supple. The palisade handles the rough roads up here in the Midwest much more gracefully than the Santa Fe. The Santa Fe does not even offer acoustic glass in the second row. I would love to see you guys do sound tests at 40mph and 70mph. I feel as though 55 is no longer a valid speed traveled by most people on most trips. At 70mph there was a noticeable difference between the two and the Palisade won with ease for us.

[@CarGeek360]

I was comparing both and now have plans to suggest the Pallisade to my aunt and uncle for their next car, it feels more premium and it's been out for longer meaning the issues are more likely to be irorned out, SantaFe does look cooler but the SEL has a manual front passenger seat while the Pallisade SEL has a power one

[@jmartyt9810]

Palisade has the Automatic transmission... While Santa Fe is DCT. That alone is enough reason to avoid the Santa Fe.

[@CarGeek360]

@@jmartyt9810 that too, the Pallisade has been out for some time so most of the major issues are already ironed out for 2024

[@silverwrx03]

@@CarGeek360 do not get me wrong, love the look of the new Santa Fe. But for a family of 5 with 2 dogs, the Palisade is much more comfortable. My wife loves her Hyper White Calligraphy Night Edition. So much so she no longer asks me to drive on long trips. The longer wheel base and the the much larger sidewall also helps the ride. I also agree I about the DTC, if I bought a Santa Fe it would only be a hybrid. But the 3.8L V6 has been in the Hyundai stable for a long time and has proven reliable.

[@CarGeek360]

[@CarGeek360]

This video came a couple of days late lol, I was cross-shopping these 2 on the internet (but SEL versions) to see which one I wanted to recommend to my aunt and uncle for a potential new car purchase. I chose the Palisade and this video confirmed that I made the right decision. Don't get me wrong the new SantaFe is a fabulous product but I personally find the Palisade to be a more upscale vehicle (SantaFe is more modern however) and the Palisade has been out for some time meaning that the major issues have already been ironed out. I'd still be concerned about reliability with the new SantaFe. I do like the idea of a hybrid SantaFe however and I do find it to be the better looking vehicle of the two but the Palisade is more spacious and the SantaFe SEL lacks a power front passenger seat which the Palisade SEL comes with. I built a Palisade SEL with AWD yesterday and the MSRP was just under $43k which imo is a solid number for that SUV. The one element that made the choice tough was the SantaFe's supeirior fuel economy to the Palisade but the Palisade does treat us to a nice V6 over the SantaFe's 4 cylinder. Both are great cars however and it all comes down to personal preference but if you want something reliable the Palisade is the only way to go between these two. The Palisade has been out for 4 years meaning most of the major issues have been ironed out by now where as the SantaFe only came out recently.

[@ericjudge5810]

Hyundai is definitely on to something with the Santa Fe BUT I just want to know who signed off on the back of it because it’s hideous back there.

[@gamen80]

As soon as the Palisade is upgraded, then i will go for the Palisade next year. even without the upgrade i would go for the Palisade, but i have to save a little bit more before i can cash it, so better to wait till the 25 year modell comes out, or just an upgrade modell.

I'm seriously considering the Santa Fe, but we know you had your issue with yours and your transmission. How's that been going with your vehicle? Also, the controversial issue is really if you take the spare tire off the Land Rover, that's what Santa Fe is. Outside of that, I think the Santa Fe is the clear winner. Bolder and more modern, which will hold it's value longer, just by styling and tech alone. Reliability, from the manufacturing process, that's always up in the air, with any manufacturer post Covid. Most of them are terrible in build quality, but that's in all verticals of manufacturing. Great video nevertheless guys. Appreciate all that you do. I will be checking your invoice pricing tool in my market.

Santa Fe for me. Feels more modern and future proof, design wise. Palisade already has a look of an outdated design and on the sides at the back end it looks like two cars fitted together, it lacks coherence from front to back. Whereas Santa Fe, in spite of its length, has a unified and cohesive appearance throughout, presenting itself as a singular, harmonious design in spite of its robust look."

Toyota Transmission Complaints to NHTSA The variety of transmission complaints related to these Toyota vehicles have not yet triggered a safety recall from the NHTSA, which regulates auto safety in the US. If enough similar complaints do eventually arise, the NHTSA would initiate an investigation to determine a cause and enforce a resolution from Toyota. That has not happened to date, however. As an example of the types of complaints Toyota owners are making, here’s a closer look at the 2018 Toyota Sienna on the NHTSA website. Some owners report that the vehicle fails to accelerate when they depress the gas pedal, which could potentially create a safety hazard when merging onto a freeway. Owners also report that the 2018 Toyota Sienna will randomly decelerate when cornering. Numerous owners have complained that the issue only happens when “Eco” mode is engaged, and lament the fact that there is no way to turn this feature off.

[@lss-jprep4980]

I think the Santa Fe wins at the XRT or SEL level. The XRT needs the 360 camera added to be an overwhelming value. The engine is fast but somewhat unrefined and the DCT tranny makes no sense. It’s simply not a $50k vehicle. The Palisade, at the Limited level, is around $47k before any discounts. V6 and a reliable tranny make it the clear winner. Guessing that Palisade redo will result in a minimum $5k increase to every model when it happens.
