Invasive safety features, noisy ride

So far, reliable for 13k miles, but the noise inside the cabin and the constant auto-breaking even when going under 5mph is too much. If you drop someone off, you have to turn the car off to reset the seats, otherwise the car will NOT stop dinging at you to have the (non-existent) passenger put their seatbelt on. No idea how this is the best SUV in America. It's being traded off. Thin steel. Cabin noise. Offensive safety features.

Best overall vehicle out of 12 differe test rides

The Hyundai palisade limited edition is what we ended up choosing. We base this on testing multiple SUVs from mid-size to third row , gradually eliminate them till we got to the final three. We took our time and did this over a one month period. We took in consideration price, warranty, reliability and reviews from Edmund cars.com. We tried both domestic and foreign cars. When looking at the prices and warranty included, other vehicles seem to be 5 to $12,000 more when including a $100,000 mile warranty. We also wanted a vehicle that would tow at least 3500 lbs. About the car, The ride is quiet and very comfortable. the information center is easy to access and simple. one of the things that most impressed us was the safety features that were included in it. The second roll captain seats are just like the front seats they can move forward and backwards up and down and recline. The back roll climate control is also nice. one feature that stuck out was the ability to use your car mike to talk to people in the backseat over the speakers. Grandkids sometimes claim they can't hear LOL. the power liftgate and back is nice because it has a no touch walk-up feature. with the third row seats up the space is adequate but with them down it's very good and you could easily pack for a nice camping trip. Mileage is a little better than it stated. Most of the other vehicles had four cylinders with turbos the palisade has a V6 engine which gets equal to or better mileage as the rest of the vehicles we looked at. Being naturally aspirated the the engine takes off a little slower but makes up for it at the higher ends. It is also very quiet. The vehicle has all-wheel drive and several driving options. We've gotten as high as 31 mpg on the highway usually 28 mpg and an average of about 24. The overall interior design and comfort is wonderful. Hyundai gave you the conveniences you need. We only put on about 2,000 MIles so far so I cannot testify on reliability of the vehicle other than what I know From research. looking at older vehicles that seem to hold their value well and finding a used one under 3 years old isn't easy. The areas I feel that Hyundai needs improvement. the space in the car doors is small and most vehicles have a spot for a drink in the car door. Another one is the app that connects your car to your phone. From what we can see if your car alarm goes off you will not know unless you walk up to your vehicle and then the lights will blink a few times. the alarm is pretty sensitive also. It would be nice to know if the vehicle alarm was triggered and even the location like some of the other vehicles we have. With the key fobs in the new vehicles, any previous theft problems appear to be fixed as it was one of our concerns. But Hyundai should take it a step further by including it on the app. We feel that they could offer a better selection of colors like some of them in their Santa Fe XRT line. We even considered the Xrt but it only had one trim option. If it had amore trims availible option . In the long run the palisade just was the best choice!

Simply Spectacular

2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

If you are currently in the market for a midsize 3-row SUV, two things have probably become apparent. First, the Hyundai Palisade and its handsome sibling, the Kia Telluride, seem to be well on top of almost every single ranking list in the automotive press. Secondly, it seems like you can scarcely drive two minutes these days without encountering another Palisade or Telluride on the road. Once you have had the opportunity to test drive and/or purchase one, the reasons for these two things quickly become apparent. Dollar for dollar, it is hard to imagine beating these vehicles. I recently purchased the Palisade SEL Premium, and it has been simply spectacular. This is my first Hyundai, and I have to admit I approached the purchase with a sense of caution. We are typically a Subaru or Toyota family. But the Subaru Ascent, despite having some great qualities, just reminds me too much of my 2007 Subaru Tribeca. As for the Toyota Highlander, I was appalled when I read the Consumer Reviews on Edmunds. (Toyota, what the heck is going on?) As for all the others, for various reasons, nothing particularly impressed me. For me, the true game changer is the Palisade with the SEL Premium trim. Please take a hard look at it before buying any other SUV. It is chock-full of features you would normally find in a luxury SUV (heating steering wheel, heated/ventilated seats in the front and second rows, captain’s chairs, front parking sensors, moonroof, memory seats, AWD, and I’m probably forgetting some things). The tech is simply out of this world. If you are interested in a de facto luxury SUV and want to get it out the door for less than $50K, then this is the vehicle for you. When you throw in the 5 year/10 year warranties and the 3 years of free maintenance, not to mention the free Hyundai Bluelink…well. I for one am impressed. As you scour the internet, you will notice that the Palisade/Telluride comparison has grown into a bit of a cottage industry, and the sales figures would imply Telluride has the edge. Many people find the Telluride to be slightly more attractive, and it has nicer colors. But based on my experience, the Telluride can’t offer the same features as the Palisade SEL Premium, unless you really go with an upscale, expensive trim. (A base Telluride SX is almost impossible to find). Additionally, the little storage hideaway under the shifting buttons seems like a trivial thing (Palisade has it, Telluride does not) but it really is a great thing to have. All in all, after approximately three weeks, I can scarcely find anything to complain about. (The vehicle doesn’t seem to have a weather radar interface on the nav, but not a big deal). My biggest concern, however, is obvious: Will this amazing vehicle hold up? With so many bells and whistles, how will this vehicle be performing six years from now? How about ten? Will the synthetic leather hold up as well as the real thing? Will the Palisade offer the same unbelievable reliability my family has experienced with our Toyota Siennas? Only time will tell. As for the present, if you are shopping for a three-row midsize SUV, and you are working within a budget, I don’t know how the Palisade SEL Premium can be beaten.

For it's size, it's surprisingly smooth and quiet. And the technology it provides really makes a difference.
