I loved this review. Im driving an Everest i wanna upgrade to the new Everest or this Palisade. Once saw it on the road on black...this car has presence on the road. It took my breath
Beautiful, and comfortable. A question: when you wear flip-flops, like in this video, do you drive with flip-flops or do you go barefoot? Regardless of the fact that flip-flops, both with a manual and automatic car, can get stuck on the pedals, I prefer to drive barefoot, for greater feeling on the pedals and for greater grip.
I have a Suzuki AMT and I love it. I currently going on 20 km p/l.The dealership threw in a few extras instead of a 7" screen I have a 10" amd rearview camera. I do wish I had the fancy wheels though but nothing can be upgraded on a later stage.
The front left and front right park sensors only detect objects within 25cm. That is far too late to stop in time if there is an object you were not expecting. The design states it will notify you when objects are within 60cm, but that isn’t achieved in real world tests.
I Almost traded my Monza GSI for a Super Boss but on the test drive a hated the shattering hard ride,It felt like riding on railway tracks.. Might have been a overinflated tyres But everything rattled inside the car.. Unfortunately 😢
poor lil thing... bullied around the world, the ugly car. i got one its the only option, but in the street people stop by and come over just to ask what car is this? anyway nice review sir, hello from Indonesia
Regarding the SUV's front-wheel drive system, I'm curious about its performance on slippery surfaces such as a sloping dirt road in the countryside or very steep and slippery roads in Cape Town. Can you provide insights into how well it handles these challenging conditions, and if there are any specific features or technologies that enhance its traction and stability in such scenarios?
Hi there. Like most Chinese cars with a bit more power, throttle application needs to be smooth and sensitive. If you give it too much it will break traction. Of course, now there is an all-wheel drive model, too.
I was initially interested in the Tiggo 7 Pro but when I saw it in person it seemed even narrower than this. That's the only thing that I'm unsure about.
Believe me, the rear leg room of the 7 is a lot better than the 8..I tested both cars last week and they were the new facelifted models...they look amazing inside with the one long dashboard digital cluster. Plus for off reading, the 7 has an all wheel drive and has a higher ride clearance than the 8 if you are into off roading
At 3:26 you mentioned that the Palisade has wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto. Are you certain that it has wireless connection? Or does it have a wired USB connection only?
Thanks for this review, I like your honesty. I liked the Palisade when I saw it. Its a beautiful car. I would definitely buy it if it has 4x4 / AWD options (I do reasonable off-roading, that's a must for me when I make car buying decision).
Very informative video. Definitely points out the important pros and cons of the vehicle that a dealership would obviously not disclose for sale purposes. Found this very helpful in deciding what entry level vehicles to consider.
I've just had the 2.0 biturbo Sport, and the gearbox does hunt a bit more to find the power. And it lacks some features, obviously. Still a a very pleasant car.
I recently got the Baleno version. Very happy with it so far. Havent driven that much but i love the standard tech that it comes with. Im new to the android auto functionality since im coming from a 2011 polo which is ancient in comparison lol
Great review, but it sounded like you didn't find the kickdown button. When you think you reached the floor, you press harder to press the kickdownbutton, then you will feel the pull. 😊
