LIMITED vs CALLIGRAPHY 2024 Hyundai Palisade. Any favorite?

[@VagabondBuilds]

The 2024 Palisade is a three-row, upscale SUV with available HTRAC AWD & power up to 291 hp. This video shows direct differences between LIMITED and CALLIGRAPHY. ❤

I don't get why people are saying the Hyundai/Kia 3.8 V6 is outdated. Hyundai has been making that engine for almost 20 years, it's solid and dependable. That's the same as saying the GM 5.3 or the Nissan 2.5 4-banger is outdated. They've all been in use for 20 years or more. I had a 2007 Entourage with the 3.8 and I put 175k miles on it before I sold it. The only issue I ever had with it was the front valve cover gasket leaking, which was a known issue (very minor $150 fix) on those years of 3.8s. Other than that, it was very smooth and consistent the entire time. No excessive oil consumption, no rough idling, no issues passing emissions, etc.

[@VagabondBuilds]

So you have one?

[@jp1087]

@@VagabondBuilds No, though I have been studying them for a few months. I currently have, or have had cars with all of the engines I've listed. The wife wants a Palisade, but I don't see the point in replacing our Yukon XL when the only real gain would be a small increase in mpg, but no actual increase in range per tank. We definitely wouldn't be able haul the family luggage without the use of a roof rack or hitch carrier, which would create more drag and decrease the fuel economy. I would be more tempted if the Palisade came with a 25-gal gas tank, which would make it a formidable road trip machine. But it only comes with the same sized 19-gal tank as my 2020 Santa Fe. That's smaller than the tank on my 2011 Altima.

[@ianbeckynicolebrowne8757]

A couple other things. The driver's seat has thigh extensions and the side body supports tighten inward when in sport mode. The 2nd row head rests also manually wing in ala airlines so the occupants can have a better nap without so much bobble head!

Thanks for the extra info! Hopefully it’s of help to someone

[@Devakvp]

Thank you for the comparison. Awesome video comparison

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thanks for watching!

[@johnnyduray9834]

Not trying to troll but this video is misleading. The Hill Descent Control and extra driving mode (Snow) are functions of having AWD, NOT the fact that it's a Limited vs Calligraphy. IOW, an AWD Limited has Hill Descent Control and the extra driving mode (Snow). Those features have nothing to do with it being a Calligraphy.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Well sorry for the mistake… 😅

[@ER-cr3jh]

Great comparison. Thank you for your thoughtful presentation and editing. Very helpful to me in making a decision on what trim I wanted. Going with the Limited as like the blacked out front grill and cloth headliner on the Limited.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidjames4677]

Exactly why my wife chose the Limited. Glad she didn't know about the Massage seats in the Calligraphy- I was happy with the price of the Limited vs the calligraphy.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

I’m trying to decide between these two right now. Thanks for this video.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Good luck on the choice and May you like that choice

Glad you like it!

[@charlesjackson3113]

Do you still prefer your palisade over the Telluride?

[@dagamblerprez4400]

@charlesjackson3113 Yes sir! It drives more luxurious .. The comparison I always give is the Telluride is like the Tahoe which is a great vehicle but the Palisade is the Escalade .I've had 4 tahoes but 1 escalade In my time lol

[@dagamblerprez4400]

@VagabondBuilds why thank u sir, Calligraphy life lol

[@silverfox5732]

Great video, and very informative. I would like to know what you think about the lexus TX and the Toyota grand highlander ,would it be possible for a side by side comparison?

[@VagabondBuilds]

We do have a video about the TX and grand highlander…. Only issue is that we can’t get them side by side between dealerships. But I’m a big fan of the TX.

[@magales45]

very good comparison

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you! Appreciate the support. What was helpful in the video?

[@heathermills9088]

I asked the dealer to put the limited cloth interior in the 2024 calligraphy and it is gorgeous! Doesn't show hand prints like the suede and you get all the calligraphy elegance.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Glad you like your car!

[@FINISHLINE55]

A great comparison video - most helpful for someone needing to make this exact model decision - Calligraphy wins out.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you!!! Appreciate the comments!

[@leaddog007007]

The KeyFob is different on the Calligraphy with the SmartPark

[@VagabondBuilds]

This is true

[@mghtymous21]

You are wrong about the tow button and extra drive mode not being in the limited. I have an AWD limited and it has both of those options. They are exclusive to the calligraphy seems to be dependent on AWD

[@VagabondBuilds]

Oh okay. Understood. Hopefully this info will be helpful for others.

[@johnjuza2659]

For the money difference I would buy the limited over the calligraphy.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Nice! Was the video helpful at all?

[@user-qc7rc1tp5g]

How did you get the daytime running lights to move up and down on the vehicles? I have a 2024 limited AWD and can’t figure out how to get mine to do that.

[@VagabondBuilds]

That is because the camera is filming and it is picking up the lights like that. But they don’t do that with any setting.

[@jwhipp11]

Would you do the 2024 SEL with premium so you can have a bench 2nd row or go with the calligraphy?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Depends if you need that extra convenience on the second row really. Just always nice to have that bench seat.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

I live in eastern NC where we don’t have winter weather only maybe a dusting or rare few inches every 5 years. I was looking at a 2024 Calligraphy Palisades FWD not AWD. In my situation is the FWD a issue?

[@VagabondBuilds]

I would tell anyone to go with an AWD. It’s just nice to have it when needed.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

@@VagabondBuilds I have a Santa Fe Sport and love it but what instances would a AWD come into play in a life without snow. I think I found the Palisades I want, color, price and everything checks out. But it’s a Calligraphy FWD.

[@tiffinyanderson4403]

@@VagabondBuilds I took your advice and went with the Calligraphy AWD. Thank you for your insight.

[@MarkM58]

@@VagabondBuilds Not for the price difference. I live in Maryland and my last three vehicles had AWD and it turned on ONCE in the last 10 years.

[@cyberathlete]

I own a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy. I really wish they had a 330-350 hp V6, dual wide screen (like the one in the new Santa Fe or the KIA Telluride), power folding mirrors AND 3rd row lighting. If they optimize the engine and make a new one, they could offer a more peppy and responsive 330-350hp with 20/26 local/highway mpg. That's my only gripe. And maybe a tad bit more comfortable going over rough roads/bumps.

[@jtwmd83]

This is by far the most honest comment I have seen!! I currently have a 2023 sportege and while I enjoy the car, I think I need a little more space.

[@VagabondBuilds]

That would be cool. Power is nice when you need it that’s for sure.

[@zaos6605]

Get the gv80

[@cyberathlete]

@@zaos6605 I would but you lose out on the 3rd row room. The Palisade has been amazing with our toddler and during travels. When the kids grow up for sure I'll get it. Right now they make a mess of everything in the back any way and need the additional row for in laws/parents.

[@mohammednajeeb6172]

Which is more popular among buyers black or Paige interior?

[@VagabondBuilds]

Goodness…. I wouldn’t have the stats on that but I would have to go with black if I had to guess.

[@charlesjackson3113]

​@VagabondBuilds if you were presented with options would you buy calligraphy fwd or limited awd for your money?

[@user-vp3qi5tq1e]

is it possible to buy that stitching parts on the door trim calligraphy ? may i know the part number ? thank you

[@VagabondBuilds]

I don’t think I can really answer that. Call your nearest dealership and ask them for it… they should be able to receive that info.

[@billywatson118]

What is the MPG on limited 2 wheel drive?

[@VagabondBuilds]

According to epa 19 city 26 highway

[@18729026]

No chrome except around windows with Calligraphy Night.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Ok 👍🏼

[@2005OEFArmy]

Just to clarify for your viewers, both the Limited and the Calligraphy have "snow mode"

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you for the clarification! Greatly appreciated!

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

We have a Kia telluride SX prestige. The felt like headline is not that great. Seems you need to groom it ! A couple things that bug us is not being able to lock the doors using the inside lock button. No logic to this and should be user programmed. The walk up/leave tailgate sucks . Should be kick activated. Also hard buttons for the console are better . Way too much screen touch.

[@VagabondBuilds]

Thank you for the perspective!

[@joshuaperry733]

Having a 2020 limited, I feel like this newer limited is quite “limited”. The body colored wheel well molding is gone, the suede headliners are gone, the hill assist is gone, the snow driving mode is gone. It’s like they force previous limited owners to buy the calligraphy, rather than buying a new limited model.

[@VagabondBuilds]

I see… well, these manufacturers sure know what they are doing…. But I would guess if this being the higher trim they would do something like that…

[@ajmanali882]

Not sure have you missed parking assist in Calligraphy?

[@VagabondBuilds]

If we have missed it we are totally sorry! We actually also put the MSRP sticker to get a better idea what is on the car… 😅

[@18729026]

Yep. Missed.

[@markisenberg5714]

So if I understand this video comparison (which is excellent) I would say the difference is the limited is just a little bit short compared to the calligraphy😅

[@VagabondBuilds]

I would have to agree haha

[@18729026]

Nope. Same length.

[@tonibrunetti4196]

The calligraphy doesnt come with awd you fan get it in the fwd version

[@VagabondBuilds]

I believe you have the option of getting AWD OR FWD

[@tonibrunetti4196]

@@VagabondBuilds yes the AWD is an option on the calligraphy, but it comes with fwd standard, there were other things wrong info wise as well. Do your research please if your going to try and make comparison videos

No, but there are so many things to cover 😅 we actually put the stickers in for that.

[@mikem600]

Really Dow played the Limited! Suede liner is too soft and looked like garbage (as seen in this video)

[@VagabondBuilds]

Interesting. Some like that look. I think it comes down to preference at that point

[@heathermills9088]

You can change the headliner and still get the calligraphy. The suede looks terrible during the day as a new car. Imagine what it will look like in a few years. Opt to have the cloth on the calligraphy and it is one Gorgeous vehicle.

This Honda calligraphy and Limited trims are the same just limited is front-wheel drive and calligraphy is all wheels drive hp and torque the same 3.8 L V6 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC transmission making 291 hp and 262 pound-feet of torque however seats are different material in these both trim calligraphy has napa leather with navy beige cabin and chrome metallic hardon carbon premium system

I bought the calligraphy and the dealer replaced the suede headliner for the limited cloth. It looks so much better, will resale much better and I get the much nicer seats, hubs, video camera etc. It wasn't expensive to replace the headliner. Just ask and get what you want. 😊 LOVE my calligraphy!!

[@rinarasilva522]

I drove a traverse yesterday and trust me Hyundai is much more car. Chevy look good though but some parts are so cheap. So now I’m looking for a palisade

[@JonMoralesLA]

The Traverse has major reliability issues in prior year models particularly with the transmission. The new 2024 Traverse uses a new Turbo 4 engine so another question mark as to how the newer engine will hold up over time.

[@18729026]

What? Features, comfort...not close.
