The New 2023 Hyundai Palisade Is a Mercedes GLS For $30k Less!

[@theredline]

Great video guys! Thanks for letting us join you for a fun buddy review! Next time, we should have just left the air filter cover on upside down 🙃

[@chill-pill923]

Hi

[@trletts]

Love seeing you guys work together. I've had a SX Prestige Telluride on order since January. Is there any word at all leaking out of Kia of when we can expect to see more 2023 details? I'm not interested in the "offroad" version and Kia has been completely quiet on every other trim. We know some of the things it's getting but we don't know what it will look like, will it have the massaging seat and heated 3rd row (my bet is no on both), will the Moss Green carry over with the new green coming out. I don't know what's benefiting Kia to keep so quiet...unless they are rethinking the DRLs. Haha. I can dream. The redesigned front end of the Palisade 'almost' makes me want to switch my order...I think the refresh was more effective in that regard versus what Kia has shown.

[@vhol93]

I've read from a few different sources, the reason why Hyundai group can't have wireless Carplay/AndroidAuto in their bigger screens, is due to a license agreement with TomTom (probably a non-competition clause?). The smaller screens don't have navigation, so they can have wireless projection in there... Hopefully they can sort it out in a future contract revision!

[@HughJashole69]

We had a 2021 palisade limited and loved it but it was too much for a family of 3. Loved the space but hated the mpg so traded it in for a compact suv. A ton of high end features for sub $50k. I always hated the non wireless CarPlay though. We also had a 2022 Elantra sel with wireless CarPlay and I loved it. Now we’re back to wired CarPlay. The maps from Hyundai/Kia suck plus it doesn’t calculate the route based on traffic like Waze. That’s my biggest gripe but overall love Hyundai/Kia.

[@jimmyspencer4019]

My wife went from a 2019 highlander limited to a 22 palisade calligraphy which we waited 6 months for. Apparently white is a popular color.. they offered us 3 other colors in that time but she wanted white.. she tells me would never go back to a highlander after driving the palisade. I agree. Only thing I dont care for is how aggressive the lane keep assist is. It wants to drive for u pretty much.

[@JIEON.C]

The little drl led is due to korean regulations on drls cant be separated too much. Korean model always had it but I guess hyundai wanted to streamline the production

[@trletts]

The Calligraphy has it. The others don't. It's a differentiator of the model....at least in the US

[@robmalcolm8042]

Palisade is a Korean model regardless of where it’s sold. Has a k vin number in America too meaning made in Korea it’s just transported here. Kia telluride the brother is made in America. But Korea has the Mohave which is something like it

[@thevanmancan4850]

Great to see you both working together. I am a fan of the naturally aspirated powertrain with its more simple design for longevity. Toyota may lose a lot of people with his new turbo Highlander as standard by killing the beloved V6.

[@extentialist]

Palisade has always been my first choice over its cousin, the Telluride. This refreshed version has taken it even further especially with the new flushed grilles and kinda like it with the 'little dude' still sticking on its nose 😀

There is absolutely NOTHING about a Palisade or GV80 that even remotely comes CLOSE to a GLS. The Palisade, Telluride and GV80 at their best are Jeep Grand Cherokee beaters. Nothing more than that tho.

At 80mph I was getting 27.5 mpg hand calc. The only difference with a hybrid would be city driving. The motor is solid like the Nissan vq engines. Hard to replace quality reliability. Mixing up engines would be a travesty. Get the 7 seat models. We had a friend that was super impressed with the interior space compared to her Cadillac XT6. This is a very good mid sized suv.

first review that points out the pull out engine air filter on the palisade Lol almost broke it too lol Great review

[@trevorsutherland5263]

My buddy has a '22 Palisade. It has a smooth comfy ride and pretty much all the basics covered in a 3-row CUV. It is not a truck by any means, and off-roading is a joke as it sits just as low as the Sedona minivan its based on. However he got it for $34K and I think that is a fair price for what it is. However in no Universe are you getting a "GLS for $30K less". I went to unload something while it was idling and I could hear a faint rattle from the exhaust. A 2022 with 10K miles. I have a 2011 Jag XJ that was $87K a decade ago. That is about $120K today. Almost 12 years and 100K miles and NOTHING on it rattles; as you'd expect as it represents FOUR TIMES the level of resources a Palisade does. A GLS is built to a similar standard and it is impossible for a Palisade to be in any way its qualitative equivalent. It is a Hyundai product. Never forget that.

I actually like the look of the Palisade more than the Telluride, but I think I'd probably go for the Kia since it has a more aggressive look. The Palisade would wind up making me feel like I have a station wagon at some point. Although, right now I'm in a Kona, so anything is an improvement. I'd also only go as premium for either car as whatever comes with a sunroof. Maybe leather seats.

[@dengallardo]

I dont know I'm still skeptic if it's going to last. Hyundai Palisade are notorious for exploding and bursting into flames. That is why they don't advice owners to park it inside closed garage.

We just bought this. Test drove the Highlander and Explorer and honestly thought we would go with the Explorer before we set foot on any lots but felt we should keep an open mind and check out what all the hype was about. Glad we did. The Limited makes the others look weak in terms of making you feel like you’re driving something special. Reminds me of the ‘13 Ram 1500. Drove Chevy and Ford but the Ram was so far ahead I’m terms of quality and ride comfort this GM guy had to choose the Ram.

@@akhere07 ; the Limited trim level of the Palisade. It was basically the only Palisade on the lot available for purchase. Had we had a choice the SEL with the premium package would have been the best bang for buck. The person that had ordered ours was unable to finance. We just walked on the lot at the right time. Traded in a ‘14 Mercedes GLS450 in need of a new camshaft which was going to run about $7 or $8 k. So happy to be rid of that thing. We purchased (not leased). If you get one and are interested in any extended warrantees, tell the sales person you’re not interested. When you get to the finance guy at the end and he/she brings up the warranties again tell them you’d be interested in paying cost if they want the dealer points for selling it. So far we love it. It’s really just a beautiful car and a delight to drive. Can’t think of a single thing on the Mercedes that I preferred, except maybe the power which was completely unnecessary and extremely costly to fuel (premium gas only).

[@akhere07]

@Carpe Dunktum thanks for detailed info. Only one question.when you said "tell them you would but at cost if they want dealer points for selling", are you talking about car at cost means invoice price? Or sticker/msrp price? Or are you talking about extended warranty at cost/invoice price? If yes, how much difference would that be roughly in $

The small additional daytime running light on the front fascia is necessary to adhere to Korean regulations. Korean law requires that tiny addition because, without it, the top and bottom part of the daytime running lights is too far apart to meet a stupid regulatory provision that serves no real purpose. The same regulations make the lighted grill on certain BMWs (like the X6 and X7) and Rolls Royce cars illegal. Ah... bureaucracy!

Also it's for vents and lights as said in video... also one giant roof might affect overall rigidity therefore might compromise safety or ride comfort/ too much flex in body etc yes they could make it just as sturdy with a giant opening on top vs two smaller ones but definitely 💵💵💵 Right now I think this is already the best bang for the buck, this or the Telluride 👍😀❤
