2020 Hyundai Palisade: FULL REVIEW + DRIVE | The new KING of the Segment?!? 

Happy 4th of July everyone!! Have a fun and safe holiday! 🎆🎆 And, yes, we are going to compare this to the Telluride in our next video coming on SATURDAY! Stay tuned!

Looks premium enough that it looks like it deserves a Genesis badge.

This is a great vehicle, really like the exterior styling, the sorta boxy square shape that still looks classy & elegant IMO! Interior is very luxurious and well thought out with tons of tech' & convenience features. Hyundai clearly has a winning vehicle in the large SUV/Crossover class which best's it's competitors in most areas as far as I'm concerned. Nice review guy's as usual!

The telluride has nicer front end but I prefer the interior of this car. 😁

Obviously, the Hyundai Palisade and KIA Telluride are more than corporate cousins; they're more like fraternal twins. The Korean conglomerate does a masterful job of building vehicles that share parts, components, and entire platforms while differing enough to appeal to somewhat different market segments. The KIA Sorento and the Hyundai Santa Fe are two examples. The Stinger and the Genesis G70 are another. The Palisade and Telluride are the latest and perhaps the best examples. They share engines, drive trains, dimensions, AWD systems, and a wealth of other components from a common parts bin. Although it's possible to configure each as slightly more or less expensive than the other, fully loaded top trims are almost identical in MSRP. (The Palisade is $115 more than the Telluride.) Despite those similarities, the overall styling of the two vehicles is distinct. Each was initially designed by KIA's and Hyundai's design studios in California but the overall look and feel of each is aimed at different markets. The Telluride's overall "rugged" vibe is clearly aimed at the North American market. It's built in the US and currently sold exclusively in North America. It's not even offered in the Korean home market. The top trim SX Telluride is decidedly upscale with lots of "luxury" touches. But it's no coincidence that it most closely resembles a Range Rover, the luxury SUV with a "rugged" reputation. The Palisade, on the other hand, while designed to appeal to the near luxury market segment in the US, is aimed at a much broader international market, especially in Asia. Unlike the Telluride it's built in Korea and meant to appeal to the growing middle class there and in other Asian markets, especially in China. Those markets aren't focused on "ruggedness." The appeal is to the recently affluent consumer who cannot afford a Mercedes or a BMW but find a near "luxury" vehicle priced significantly less than those brands to be a way to demonstrate their success to their neighbors and family.

Yeah the Palisade looks so much better than a Telluride. I do see the exterior and interior differences between both SUVs for sure, excellent in depth review guys. Happy 4th of July Drew and Mason 🙂.

Awesome car Really love the effort car confections put in the videos

Very well done review. I was very impressed with a recent test drive of the Telluride. Tried to see a Palisade at our closest dealer in San Antonio today, but some one bought their only model today, so we never got to see it. Will definitely check back again though. Thank you for your review!

After test driving Telurude , never thought I will like Palisade exterior until I tested Palisade as well. Now it is not easy to decide! I do prefer interior of Palisade, it has softer ride compare to Telluride, and I think rear end and side of Palisade is nicer but again it is totally personal!

It is so exciting to see the Hyundai’s new 3rd row crossover!!!😁 (excellent video as always)

You guys are incredible...thank you for this review

Also up that big hill on the left from about a minute or two into the test drive is where I used to live so this test drive was a trip down memory lane thank you guys they even drove through at the end

Wow.. the infotainment monitor responds really quick to the touch! Impressive!

HOLY CRAP, 3 (USBs) and 2 (12-volt outlets) in the front 2 (USBs) 1 (3-prong household outlet) and 1 (12-volt outlet) in the middle row 2 (USBs) in the third row and another (12-volt outlet) in the cargo area JEEZ that means 7 (USBs), 4 (12-volt outlets), and 1 (3-prong household outlet)

YES thanks guys glad to see this video ... great job , thanks for doing this video, you two are the best

Still an amazing SUV for me to drive one day. Awesome job with your videos anyway dude!

Nice review! Probably my next vehicle, except I want mine loaded. Thank you.

Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸

Just bought a new Pilot Elite. Great vehicle. Telluride was my first choice, but Kia dealers are gouging buyers, selling them at $1500 or more over MSRP. Bought the Pilot at Gunn Honda in San Antonio, $6500 below sticker, almost $3500 less than an SX Telluride. Maybe a year from now the hype will fade and the value will be there.

As always, a great review. Hyundai/Kia have hit a home run with this pair of full-sized SUVs. It seems the Palisade favors the luxury side of the spectrum, offering styling, features, and comfort of more expensive competitors. In this respect, it reminds me of the Veracruz, which was a mid-sized near luxury SUV Hyundai discontinued in 2012, and at the time was a value alternative to the Lexus RX. Our family had one for a number of years and was quite satisfied with the value proposition it offered in terms of features, comfort and performance for the price. No doubt the Palisade will follow in those footsteps. BTW…. a suggestion, I think many viewers would find the warranty coverage on reviewed vehicles valuable information in addition to the pricing.

Best in the class. Good design~ premium look

Very impressive video. Great job. 👍

Went to the dealership twice yesterday to look at this vehicle. I am so in love with the way the car looks but other things are preventing me from buying it right now. Having a nervous breakdown making up my mind :) Telluride's are not to be found in my area. Was completely disappointed in the way it drove. It lacks power and was not an enjoyable ride. Going back today to take it out longer. The sounds system was majorly disappointing. Tried 2 of them. The first one must have had the speakers blown because the whole car was vibrating. The second one sounded somewhat better but was still lackluster. Lastly, I can't believe they didn't give the option for black rims. Wow! By the way the 10" screen is not limited to the Limited. You can get it in the SEL but you need the navigation package.

Thanks for sharing this review. I really appreciate it.

This is the first Hyundai remote start on the key fob

Good review as always, guys - we love you! For me, the Telluride wins it, although the Palisade is quite nice - obviously!

I can see both of you will be a successful auto journalist in the future...keep up the good work. As usual, you got to start somewhere right... just fyi, correction, above the third row is not a light but a occupant sensor. Peace!

Y’all I used to live in Richmond Kentucky love the videos p.s. it would be amazing if you could do older car reviews

There are very few important differences between the Palisade and the Telluride. MSRP's for comparably equipped versions of each are virtually identical. All important components and features are shared. It comes down to personal preferences in terms of style. For example, Hyundai apparently believes that diamond quilted upholstery is a sign of luxury. Personally it reminds me of the sofa in my grandmother's living room. And considering my age that makes it very old fashioned, indeed. YMMV, of course. The Palisade offers a push button gear selector. That's trendy, I suppose, but it reminds me of a 1957 Plymouth. As far as other features are concerned, the Palisade offers a powered mechanism for raising/lowering the third row seats that the Telluride lacks. Considering the time it requires to do the job (It must be the world's slowest seat lowering system) and the fact that it reduces the cargo space behind the third row by about 3 cubic feet, I prefer the Telluride's much quicker push and pull approach with fewer moving parts and micro motors prone to failure. The Palisade has a distinctive front end design with the headlights mounted just above the bumper. But I live in the Pacific Northwest where the spring snow melt n the Cascades brings tons of rocks and gravels down to cover our highways. One learns eventually to avoid following semis and logging trucks too closely as the rocks they discharge behind their rear wheels hit windshields with considerable velocity. (Before I learned my lesson, I replaced three windshields in five years.) Placing the headlights just above the bumper only increases their vulnerability, not only from big trucks but from smaller vehicles, as well. All in all, it comes down to personal preferences.The Telluride and the Palisade are each incredibly impressive vehicles. I'd opt for what I consider to be the Telluride's simpler and overall more elegant style versus what seems to me to be the rather "fussy" look of the Palisade with too many curves.

Compare this to 2020 Highlander, I’m gonna wait for the Highlander.

Can you do the limited awd

I love the 2020 Hyundai palisades it’s very sexy and nice, my momma wants one, she has a 2011 Honda Pilot right now, Happy 4th of July, eat too much cake and bbq lol! I love Drew’s sunglasses!!

This is just so handsome!

Does the rear car cover come with a limited or is it extra option

I will take this one over the telleride any day, this look like luxury car

I just wished it's as technologically advanced as the new Sonata. Hoping for higher performance trim.

Opulence! You own everything!!! -8-

Does sel have blind spot cameras or only in limited

Is there lumbar on the passenger seat in the limited trim?

Compare this to the pilot and telluride

Does it have a locking glovebox?

The sel has harman kardon speakers?

Nice 👍👍👍👍💖💖👌 very good

Sorry by the 37K Telluride EX comes with a 10 inch display and Sunroof plus tons of features. $900 for a Sunroof when you can have it in the 33K S Telluride model that has a 7 inch display?

Compare it against the new Explorer plz. At least try get the high trim levels for both if you willing to do the comparison

No Sirius/XM on SEL? I thought that was pretty standard nowadays.

Love it. I'm sorry but this palisade is way better than the Kia. This is my opinion

Only 2 Palisades in 50 miles of me LOL both are sold too. Arghhh

No mention of turn signal blindspot viewing cameras both left and right?

544th view, 69th like (Nice🤒), 41st comment with 0 dislikes!! I’ve seen reviews already but I always wait for y’all!!

I know one of you guys was looking for a new car, have you bought one and if not, would you consider the Palisade/Telluride?🤔

They are both almost the same but the Telluride wins for me with that gear shifter. What would my right hand do without a shifter to rest on?? 😯😯😯

Do you mind explaining what the pho (or fo?) Aluminum is? Does that mean it's plastic but resembles the look of aluminum?

Its a nice SUV but I like the telluride better.

Can SEL have 2 moonroof or panaromic ?

Is this vehicle is value for money like Toyota highlander.

Do kia telluride vs Hyundai palisade

I'll trade my kidney for this car.

Going to compare this to the Telluride, eh?

Cd reader?

The King is still the Telluride but Palisade comes 2nd followed by the new Explorer.

Is this car is replacing the Santa Fe XL?

I feel like the hype with these cars is going to die so quick. Everyone’s so pumped up about them now and in a year you’ll be able to lease one for $100 less a month

I love everything about the Palisade, EXCEPT that thick chrome accent around the grille 👎🏾

$42K?? Wow the Telluride 2nd Trim already comes with Sunroof and many of those features. Without question the Telluride is the winner

You need ⛽️😂😂😂

The big mistake and disappointing about this large SUV, it's an FWD platform. Ford did the right decision by making the new 2020 Explorer an RWD SUV. Thanks.

All suvs are crap compared to lexus lx 570, Land Cruiser and Nissan patrol,they are true body on frame suvs.

Telluride is for the husbands Palisades are for the wives 😉

I personally think the Telluride is nicer than this thing.

I got to say it, front, so ugly ..side view .......looks like a hearse!!!

My problem with all these driver assist stuff, is it not needed and just increases the cost of a new vehicle. The consumer has become both spoiled and lazy. Lane assist, collision avoidance, blind spot monitoring,adaptive cruise control, just keep your eye on your driving. All of these features yet the number of collisions have not decreased. Heated steering wheel, vented cooling seat, really? Is the climate that unbearable? 10 cup holders for the one or two people you actually see riding in a vehicle. To show just how ridiculous the cost of any new car is nowadays, just look at the financing terms available to purchase one to the average consumer. Who takes a car loan over 7 years. Do they not look at the additional cost to them for the financing, on top of the purchase price? Wake up consumers, you’re putting yourself in the poor house.

They ruined a beautiful car with that hideous grill
