The best car I have ever rode in or drove!! I love this car. My son for once finally feels safe in a vehicle and that was a big deal for me. After a bunch of research my husband and I went out and got the limited edition and I couldn’t be more impressed. This car is going to be my forever car. I turn heads driving through our town. The inside is so comfortable. I can’t wait to take this on a family vacation. The gas mileage keeps getting better and better. My husband and I both fit in the 3rd row seat comfortable. He is 6’2 and 300 pounds and it was comfortable for both of us. This car over exceeds the other vehicles I test drove. The parking cameras are my favorite. I love how when our dog is out it tells me if she is coming to close to the sides or front and back ends so I know to stop. Backing up and not seeing anything then something comes flying by it alerted me on that. The seats are so very comfortable. I had a Kia suv and that seat is so uncomfortable I will never go back. We got hit with an ice/snow storm the weekend we bought ours and that car was AMAZING! If you are between buying a palisade or something else, do yourself a favor and go test drive one. I love driving now again thanks to this car

2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
I've never written a review, but this car deserves one. Bought it 4 weeks ago and just got back from a 5300 mile drive from southern AZ to the Northwest and back through Moab and home again. Very smooth and comfortable ride,. I drove 75 to 85 miles an hour most of the trip and got 25.4 miles to the gallon for entire trip. The entire interior is plush. 2nd row captain chairs with arm rests. First and second row seats have individual heating and a.c. and personal temp control. 3rd row has separate electric button controls for right and left occupants to tilt seats back seperately for comfort. Plus in back hatch area. There are electric buttons to control putting the third and second row seats down flat and the headrests even fold automatically for hauling large items. The intercom is very usefully to talk to rear passengers and hearing there responses especially if your hard hearing. Also there is a special flip down mirror for people in the front row to see everyone in the back. Great for misbehaving kids who need monitoring or to keep an eye on a child. The safety measures are the best. Lane change, staying in your lane, collision avoidance, vehicles to close, 360 camera, mirror cameras that come on in the dash, safety distancing cruise control. I could rest my hand on the wheel and the car stays in the lane, slows down automatically when cars are slower and speeds up, when you change lanes. The console and controls are fabulous. Huge storage for drinks and food and magnet charging for your phone. Below that a huge storage area for binocs, purse, books, etc. Auto wipers when it rains, excellent led lighting inside and out of this SUV. Excellent heads up display. USB ports everywhere. 12o volt plugin for curling iron or powered cooler to keep your drinks and food cold I'm still finding new things. I'm sure I missed allot, but you get the idea. The only thing Telluride has over the Calligraphy is the auto folding side mirrors, but it lacks allot of what the Palisade has. Some other reviewers complained of hearing to much road noise and a smell from there headrest. Those issues must have been corrected as my 2021 does not have those problems. The only thing I would recommend to Hyundai to improve the Calligraphy is add auto folding mirrors. I also noticed that the headrest doesnt want to stay in the position I put it in, in easily moves up and i have to keep putting it down. I also noticed a lack of power when in traffic and in 2nd gear and you want to accelerate. It's a bit sluggish going into 3rd gear, but I have it on eco, maybe I'll try sport for awhile and see if that helps. Either way Hyundai has a true winner and I have found that my car is a real runner. Even at 90, it still had a lot of pedal left and was eager to go faster, I just didn't want the ticket. Looks, performance, mileage, pleasure of driving, luxury hands down I feel it's the BEST 3rd row SUV on the market. I paid 51.000 out the door tax licence and oh yah, 20 dollars cheaper a month for my insurance than my 2016 ford explorer I traded in because of its outstanding safety rating..

We purchased our Palisade in Dec of 2020. We were originally going to buy the Telluride but after seeing the more updated tech in the Palisade, fell in love with it. We landed in the SEL plus the two upgrade packages which was worth every penny. The kids love the captain chair configuration in middle row and adults in 3rd row feel like there is plenty of room. After a cross country trip that put 8k miles on our car, we still love it!!

I have had my Palisade for over a year and still love my vehicle. There is no other vehicle in the market that can compare to all the features and bang for your buck. Hyundai has raised the bar for all the other brands need to reach. This isn’t a race car! Keep in mind, this is a 7/8 seater SUV. Hyundai’s top trim competes with the luxury brands.

I purchased my 2021 Palisade Calligraphy on 6 jan21 and it's a very nice vehicle. Sometimes the remote start from my phone doesn't work but i'll try again and it connects. Also this is more of a gripe with Hyundai not the vehicle. My rear hatch strut split down the middle and i've been waiting 2 months for it..but other than that i love this vehicle

Add the convenience and premium packages; there’s nothing else that you would want in a car. The "only" item not available (according to the dealer) is a lock for the glove compartment. Despite this, still a perfect car. (Perhaps a lock smith could install one.) I want to see the stop/start permanently eliminated or at the very least the ability of Hyundai to permanently turn it off. Hyundai states that this is still not an option and you must turn it off each time the car is started. Totally unacceptable.

Car is not what it appears to be. Looks nice, but closer examination shows the car can not compete with other luxury vehicles. The dealer general manager was pushy and turned us off.
Love this vehicle

Just sold my 2021 limited with 25000 miles for nearly what I paid. My new 2023 calligraphy will be in this week. Best driving vehicle I have owned.The transmission shifts so smoothly you would swear it is a cvt. I live on a dirt road and this vehicle hardly leaks in any dust like nearly all other vehicles I have owned.Just a great vehicle.

This is a great SUV with great interior and space and a point to note is its PRICE! It is affordably great vehicle for everyone. Every car has some disadvantages and advantages and put aside limitation of 291hp for a 3.8L engine, this car is quick (can be quicker) and smooth. Design, exterior and interior is unique/great. All features listed as standard are worth and Calligraphy trim is the best in term of cosmetic changes that appeals and catches many clients.

This car really doesn’t compare to others in its class. I went in wanting to hate it but love all of the smart features and the warranty can’t be beat. I had to purchase it even though I was looking at smaller cars.
Blows away the $60,000 to $75,000 SUVS

We bought our Palisade last week after driving our Santa Fe Limited for four years. The Santa Fe convinced us that Hyundai was the way to go when looking for a new SUV. We love everything about our new Palisade. Can’t begin to name them as there are too many! Best car ever!!

I usually don't write reviews, but read a lot of reviews, I know that's kind of not nice but here I feel like I'm bound to share something with you guys. I'm a car lover and I've driven and owned many different cars in my life, from small cars to big SUVs, in this segment, I've owned/driven cars like Audi Q7, Toyota Highlander and so forth. But this by far is the best car, amazing features, fit and finish, style, amenities, handling, gas mileage, grip on road, any single category I can think of, this car aces every single one of them. Hyundai has really nailed it, they really know how to make a well balanced car. I own a Calligraphy model, and it's features easily beats Audi Q7 features, it's much more fun to drive, it's strong, it's good looking, amazing sound quality of stereo, amazing features. Any feature we can pretty much think of, it has it. All the buttons are placed very strategically, don't have to look for buttons when I'm driving. Every single freaking thing in this car makes sense. If you're one of those people who wants to drive like a sports car and have to drive a big SUV, put this Palisade in Sports mode, especially on highway, it really goes, even in the city, it really goes but on highway, in the sports mode, it becomes a beast, really quick. And unlike big German brands, it takes 87 gas. German brands should learn something from Hyundai.
Car is fine. Nav system still lousy.

Traded in a 2017 Santa Fe due to excessive and evidently uncorrectable wind noise. New Palisade is considerably better in that regard and love the car. Amount of annual driving has been reduced to only about 5,000 miles a year and vehicle has not required any trips to dealer for repairs aside from a couple of minor recalls and routine maintenance. My only complaint is that the navigation system is the same as the sorry one in the 2017 Santa Fe. It has map error for home in both Albuquerque and El Paso and it frequently guides to a location a street or several blocks away from actual destination. Finally gave up trying to update and just rely on phone nav.

We loved the car when we had it. Great value for the options you get. Gave 2 stars due to horrible durability. Glad it has a good warranty because you will need it. Too many issues to list. Over 3 years of owning it, it was in the shop over a dozen times. Had to fight with Hyundai to get a loaner. Huge inconvenience. Car was in the shop more than my 10 year old F150! Just offloaded it and got a Tahoe. So glad I did! Never again Hyundai. Sticking with GM or Ford or Toyota only!
