2020 Hyundai Palisade | Attack of the Clones 

I may just be the only one who actually loves the design of this vehicle. Telluride is great but I prefer this, inside and out.

I do love this "roughness" of you reviews. This is yours distinctive feature, I'd say. In the modern world, when everyone tries to sell you something distracting with smoothness and sweetness, your honest and strict reviews are like a sip of fresh air. Keep it up.

Watching all the ads so Mark can get his shekels. "It's not much, but it's honest work"

Let’s be honest, SUV nowadays stand for “Status Utility Vehicle”

That was a great explanation of the difference between this vehicle and the X5. You guys do great work!

I love having you two together in these videos. You guys work well together and keeping things balanced.

That's a shame about the Kia dealerships. We bought a 2017 Kia Sorento and had a great salesman and an enjoyable experience.

Good, honest review. There's a reason why Genesis, Kia, Hyundai have finished 1,2,3 in initial quality. There's also a reason why they've surpassed Ford, Mazda and VW in 3 year reliability. We drove them all - Atlas, XC90, Explorer, Highlander, Durango, Pilot, Blazer, Traverse, Enclave, CX-9, Ascent and yes even the Telluride. Other than the XC90 for $65K nothing can come close to the Palisade in interior fit, finish, quality, tech and amenities. The 5yr/60K warranty make these a worry-free ownership experience. We paid $45K for our Limited out the door after rebates and can't wait to see what the Genesis version of this vehicle becomes. Hoping for a TT V6 with even more amenities. Anyone that's driven all of these vehicles above already knows how good this vehicle is. That's why Car and Driver, Edmunds, Motor Trend and more are picking the Telluride or Hyundai #1 in head to head tests.

"This thing looks like the Elephant Man." Elephant Man: So it's BEAUTIFUL?

When I got my stinger, I had to go to like 4 dealerships. 3 of them were pretty bad and lied on the phone and refused to move price at all and wanted all this down payment and dealer fees. Finally found one that was honest and it was great. But the fact that 75% of the ones I went to was awful is a shame. Hopefully they can be more like the 1 good one I found.

The Kia experience we had mimics what Mark said here. The salesman wouldn't stop nagging me until I told him to never call me again and hung up on him. Kia is selling 50k SUVs and Stingers. It's not 1978 - You can't treat people like this and expect that they'll buy.

I really love these reviews when you guys are talking to each other throughout. Keep it up please!

Havent seen too many palisades on the road yet, but every time I do it gets my head turning.

Turn that damned turn signal off. I heard it clicking for 2 minutes

The brevity of this video is super good. You packed all of the necessary info in a short segment.

I had an Elantra 6 years ago and I upgraded to an Elantra Sport 2 years ago and I've had nothing but fantastic customer service at all three Hyundai dealerships I've been to. I never felt pressured into anything and they've always been honest, transparent and professional when it comes to their products and services. Sorry to those other people.

15 years ago, No one ever could have predicted that Hyundai would toss off the Germans from their thrones

I’ve bought two brand new Hyundais in the last two years, and the dealership experience was great. Knowledgeable salesman (used the same one) and worked to get me the best deal both times.

I really appreciate your opinions and viewpoints on the features of the Palisade. I especially like your thoughts on the dealership network and service, something that most review doesn't even touch on. This is a very well-rounded review and one that I will watch several times to get more out of it. Many thanks for your honesty and excellent review !!!

You're 100% correct with their dealer network being awful. I was so close to buying a Kia Stinger but the dealership experience turned me off so much I ended up getting a VW Golf R.

Geese: "Comfortable, usable, essentially a miniva.." Dan from marketing: "NOT THE "M" WORD !!1!"

First time I went to a Hyundai dealer the salesman was completely useless and put in no effort to figure out what I wanted. Then I went to Kia dealer in the same area and another horrible experience, this time coupled with slimy sales tactics. I assumed my area was just badly managed, then I moved to another state to find the same situation at another 4 dealers. It's almost strange how consistently bad they are. At the time I was looking seriously at a Veloster N but they were all marked up, some by $5000, ha! One salesman said "oh we usually don't start at MSRP, that's normal." Sure bud.. Eventually none of the marked up ones sold and they were now selling some just under MSRP, but at that point I'd already decided I couldn't let go of my desire to tinker and modify, so I bought something else of a similar configuration used and just approaching the end of its warranty, ripe and ready for me. So the dealership experience didn't directly make my decision but I definitely thought to myself "oh god I'd have to take my N to these morons for servicing?" I'm still glad that I won't need to go to a Hyundai dealer now, Veloster N is still a great car though.

mark, so nice to see you back on form............worried that you had got bored and distant so relieved to see you again. keep it up you've almost sold me this motor, olooking at the uk variant which sadly will be a lot less for more

I've been shopping for both a telluride and palisade and have been treated very well at the dealers. Great video!

Love that you guys talk about long term ownership as well as dealership networks. I've owned Kias and Hyundais and the cars themselves are great but you're completely right that their service and support are what's keeping them from completely overtaking their Japanese rivals. I'm lucky enough to live near a decent dealership, the biggest by volume in the country, but I can't wait to pay more money for a luxury brand just to be treated better.

Really awesome video my man I like the format for this one.

you make the best videos!!! great work

Like the videos man. Honest and informative.

Very grateful for my local Kia dealerships then. Both of them have the friendliest service I've experienced at a dealer yet, both in the shop and in the sales department. They're not all bad; and don't let a potentially bad salesman lead you away from these great products. The more you buy the more money they get to work on their dealer problem !

Got one myself and happy so far. Just keep expectations to what it is. Great family hauler and a awesome interior setting and not a mechanical wonder with super performance.

I just bought a Palisade Limited and we love it, we considered it over some others because of the Kia Optima I bought my son last summer which has been an excellent car. We were treated fantastically at both the Kia and Hyundai dealers we worked with (the Hyundai had many of the old GMC sales staff I have deal with for almost 20 years, one of whom had sold us our Yukon XL back in 2015).

You changed just enough notes in the intro not to get sued by Disney. Bravo!

Gloves available for pre-order in the Goose merch store.

Wonderfully shot video ..

Thank you for writing down the Canadian prices too. Very much appreciated

The official vehicle of Ulta Beauty Stores

Minivan without sliding doors is a really good description for this thing honestly. Put it next to a Pacifica, and the similarities are striking.

The statement about their dealer network is absolutely 💯. Would have gone Hyundai, but went with VW because of the shifty experience i had with a genesis g80

I've purchased two vehicles from the same Hyundai dealer. Both were excellent experiences, not a single complaint. I was surprised to hear that others aren't so lucky.

That ending with slider. Professional!

its weird how they are talking bout dealer network being a little sketchy .... I have owned hyundais for the past 8 years and the dealerships in orange county have been extremely welcoming, helpful and extremely reliable. I have owned the accent limited, sonata limited and now Elantra sport with DCT.... freaking great cars and never had any problems with any of their cars. There is nothing wrong with the dealer network. The customer experience has been awesome.

Man, you're cinematography is dreamy, Mark.

I just bought a 2021 Limited and love the hell out of it! Can't help looking back at that sexy beast everytime I walk away. Almost as good as looking at my E46 M3 or E36 M3.

Great review. My Hyundai dealer experience was excellent. They're trying to sell G90s there. It's got to be good.

Love the ending. Great sense of humor

Love these reviews honestly you do it the best hands down!!! I did want to mention one thing... I used to sell cars for Kia now I totally understand your point about not buying a car with some stupid air suspension adaptation control aka something that will cost you when it brakes, But pls don't encourage the lease!! its a joke, already young people think they can afford it when they can't they don't understand it's financing the exact same depreciation as buying or financing and even worst because u take the worst part the first 2-3 years... And yes there's still interest in there a top of it all and fees...

I went to a Kia dealership near Minneapolis to test drive a Stinger GT2. I was only there for research on my future car purchase (currently in a '15 S60 R-Design). I am deciding between that and an Audi S4 and a couple of others. I actually only went to look near closing and a saleswoman recommended I come back the next day to test drive. She was with another client when I got there so I went on my drive with a different salesman. Both people were very accommodating and wonderful to work with. And the Stinger was awesome too!

Anybody know the name of the music at the start? I already checked comments, description and end card.

I think the Telluride looks better, but they're both great cars.

10 seconds in an upvote. The intro is great in itself.

Another great production from SG. I can't wait for some winter vids! I really like the innovation and quality for the price these Korean manufacturers are coming out with.

Really has me excited for what they can accomplish with the genesis SUV that's coming out next year

@savagegeese Will you be reviewing the 2020 Explorer? Want to see what you’d think of it relative to this

I'll be looking at a 3 row for the next vehicle in the next year or so and after being a Subaru and Honda owner for a bit now was startled to find so many good reviews out there on the Telluride and the Palisade. I'd truly warmed up to the idea, but hearing about dealer experience issues is a huge detractor for me. I can put on my big boy pants and just deal with it, but man do I hate car buying in the best of cases so hearing it might be a battle hurts my heart.

The outtro is brought to you by your nearest Hyundai dealership.

I’ve had a couple Hyundai’s and the dealership was pretty good. I didn’t have any issues with them.

Where can I get the gold paint for my underbody?

In Tampa, Fl dealership experience has been reallly good and effective. Owner of two 2017 Elantra.

Fabulous Interior Space

Omg! So glad I watched the whole video. Ordered Palisade. There has not been one phone call from dealership in over a month. You can tell they are not use to customers with good credit and money to buy. The date I was given has been extended by two weeks. If it does not come that date, I will go to plan B.

Hey savage! What are your thoughts on the new Prius vs the Honda Insight?

Does Scott know how much time you've been spending with Jack these days?

Palisade in our garage ...dealer experience was awesome and not one issue and the dealer got the car in what the wife wanted...

have been averaging 26mpg at 75-80mph cruise in our AWD Palisade

Another great one mr geese. S/n you guys remind me of asian hank hill and dale gribble.

Savage Geese is really the best for honest reviews. I like that he's honest about leasing these cars that are so technilogically advanced now compared to old front wheel drive Toyotas which one could buy and keep 20 years. Very helpful reviews.

How about the interior sound level at highway cruising speed? I heard that Telluride is quieter than the Palisade, based on Car and Driver review...

Quality here is way better than the actual car. Putting here my view helping with the good content

Love your review on the Palisade, it is honest and to the point. No cover-ups like some channels on RU-vid. Am seriously considering this model for my next ride, you pointed out something which is vital in getting cars nowadays. Electronics, this might be a real pain when shit hits the fan. Had a very painful experience before with my old Kia, had the whole wiring harness changed but still didn't solve a jack. ECU is also now loaded with tons of coding unless the dealer network is able to get their acts together on driving this forward. I would think getting another Korean might be a concern for me.

Simplicity, reliability, value for money !!! 👌🏆👍

whats the clicking sound you added for???

If this thing is reliable, it will spell the end of GM and Ford land yachts.

I couldn't agree more in regards to issues with their dealer network. I just bought a 2020 Kia Soul S (your early review was a big help) and I ended up buying from the third Kia dealership I visited because they treated me really pretty well overall and didn't lie to my face repeatedly like the previous two seemed to enjoy doing.

Here in Tucson, the markup for a Palisade is $2K to $5K. But, there's a Kia dealership that doesn't mark the Telluride up at all. Those vehicles are sold before they hit the ground. Thanks for the nice review!

Any plans to do the Chevy Traverse? Would like to know your thoughts compared to this, Telluride and Pilot.

Nice ride and very informative review with no fuss. The camera slide during you final thoughts was strange at first. You made me think I had a few to many for a moment. Three row SUVs however just don't do it for me though. Just get a Minivan or a big luxury sedan or wagon. Maybe I am to european?

off topic but you have the best music in your videos!

Sorry to hear about the dealer experience issues. I sold Luxury cars exclusively from 2000 to 2010. My CSI was always in the top 95+ percentage every year. Then luxury cars sales tanked like the rest of Obama’s economy. I moved to Hyundai, worked for Pugi in Downers Grove for the next 5 years until I retired form car sales. I was really impressed how they operated and the product Hyundai had really improved. Being someone who sold Luxury cars for so long, you all should listen to me. Pugi’s service after the sale was spectacular. They treated my customers like the Luxury stores I had previously worked for. I was selling so many people repeatedly it was crazy! I miss working for them ( Pugi ) but don’t miss all the long night hours and working every weekend.

That's crazy hearing of the Hyundai/Kia dealerships shitting on people. I personally had the best dealership experience buying my Veloster N. They were straight up with me and didn't bother bullshitting me. Obviously, they mentioned normal things like extended warranty but they didn't pressure me into it like other dealers where they REALLY try to sell you it. I was quite happy with my experience.

The BMW X3 M40 is pretty sweet. That one makes me drool.

My dad was shopping for a new 3-row SUV, and as someone who works in the industry (and used to work for Hyundai Motor America) we went to check out the Palisade. The experience at the dealership was pretty bad, and we finally did get to drive the Palisade but had to leave from the poor treatment from the sales person. My dad ended up getting a loaded VW Atlas - which didn't drive as well, but the dealership experience was very good. I agree with you that the biggest problem with the Palisade is the Hyundai dealer network. There are great Hyundai dealers out there, but there are far too many who don't care about the consumer experience.

The design grew on me, i always thought the Telluride looks 90x better

I bought a new three row Santa Fe in 2013 for my wife, still own it. Never had one issue with the sales department. Fortunately I am a mechanic. I had to direct the service department to the correct diagnosis of a warranty issue with the rear electronic differential coupler because they could not find the problem. That has been the only problem in 110k miles. I will be buying a Pallisade without a doubt in the next year or two.

02:38. Jack, what kind of watch are you wearing?

It's a beautiful SUV. I went to go check it out in person and all they had left was a bare bones front wheel drive model. They can't keep these SUVs on their lot and were taking pre-orders. Glad it's doing well.... I ended up getting an Audi SQ5 because I'm still all about me me me.

My wife has a 2016 Hyundai Sonata hybrid (not ideal but she has a shit commute) We get all service done at the dealer and I can tell that Hyundai is trying to improve their service department. Big difference from 2016 to now. They really push customer satisfaction surveys too. Which indicates to me that they’re at least trying.

I can only speak from personal experience, but insofar as Hyundai is concerned, my dealership experience has always been positive. In 2007, I purchased a new Hyundai Sonata Limited in Chicago (which I still own and drive) and aside from the typical gripes about the high cost of dealer service and parts, which is pretty much universal across the various brands, I really can't complain. I bought a dealer demo that had 8,000 miles on the odometer with no haggling for almost $7,000 under MSRP, and other than a minor recall, and a crapped out AC compressor, it has been relatively trouble free. When I did have to bring it in for scheduled service or the replacement of standard wear and tear components such as brakes and shocks, the service was friendly, the work was excellent, and the wait time was minimal.

Got a Kia Sportage in 2012, great service. Than got a 2016 Kia Sportage same dealership, great service. Never had a problem with them.

Everyone is acting surprised that three out of four dealers give substandard. Do they feel this is unique to Hyundai & Kia. I have experienced bad service in sales and service in just about every automobile manufacturer. That’s just a fact of life . I bought a 2022 Palisade Calligraphy, received great service from the one dealer out of three. Love the car. Love the styling.

You are correct about the dealer experience. I bought a 2018 Sonata Turbo, in the "finance" department the "finance guy" tried to sell me an extended warranty "because the turbo was not covered" under the 100K warranty. I asked if he was certain about this, at which point he said he was going to ask the service manager. He came back a few minutes later and confirmed that the turbo was not covered. I told him if that was the case I was not a buyer and walked out. Later that day I got frantic calls from the sales department telling me that there was a mistake and I should come back and close the deal. I had an "experience" with another dealer when purchasing my wife's Santa Fe in 2017 I forbade her from ever going back there. I live in Dallas area. It seems some of the Hyundai dealerships are operating like they did in a bygone era. The 2.0 Turbo Sonata is a great car.

Really like it!!!

"Ultra Modern" isn't my thing I've just realized.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences at my towns hyundai dealer

What I like about this car is that the exterior styling looks like a truck based SUV but it isn't which is really difficult to find nowadays

Elephant Man? I’d be curious to see what you find attractive and a minivan it’s not. It’s a really nice suv for the money!

can you expand on the dealer network issue? Canadian here...

The Limited is in such high demand that there are none on the lot and takes a month to get one. They are sold before they get off the ship.

Great review! That's unfortunate about the dealer network. Haven't heard much about similar issues here in Canada, and have had multiple friends test out and buy Hyundai products without any hassle.

The opening was so Tarantino I expected your side kick to have Jerry Curls.

i owned two hyundai's...the dealer was top notch
