Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy the BEST new SUV to BUY? 

That other fella dropped a video on the same car but Joe's my cousin so I came here first.

Thumbs up for Goonies reference. Greatest kids movie of the ‘80 s

I have a 2021 Calligraphy. I have not had a single problem, now at 20,000 miles. Love the fit and finish. Returns 27 mpg consistently with highway driving

Great video Joe & Lori! I believe the ratcheting armrests in the second-row are designed so that when you recline the seat backwards, your forearms will still be resting horizontal (parallel to the floor) ...otherwise it would feel awkward to have the armrests angle upwards along with the seat.

Joe and Lori, I bought my wife a 2023 Palisade Limited and she and I both love it, thanks for the video. I'm 6'5" tall and I'm very comfortable in either the driver or passenger front seat and I never ride in the back so no worries. I appreciate the video, we didn't get the Calligraphy, mainly because no one had one, but she's happy, I'm happy and loving the car. You have a new subscriber.

Great stuff Joe! This is a great value for money offering. I’d definitely put this on my list if I was in the market for an SUV. Thanks for bringing it to us.

Palisade offers best in class leg room, 2nd row ventilated seats, 3rd row power folding and heated seats, blind spot monitor, voice commands to control multiple functions in the Palisade, and many more features that most of the competion doesn’t have. If they do there’s a heftier price tag to pay. Hyundai also offers Americas best warranty, 3 year of complimentary maintenance, and 3 years free of bluelink. An app that you can use to remote start your Palisade, lock it, unlock it, turn on heated seats, check the fuel, etc. But people still find a way to complain and disqualify the Palisade because it doesn’t have power folding mirrors.

Thanks for the awesome review, Joe. I've been in the market for a new vehicle and the Palisade Calligraphy appears to check all the right boxes in what I am looking for in terms of tech and styling. I fully agree they should tuck the rear wiper and add dual exhaust. Your review has swayed me to check one out as they start shipping to dealers.

Well Joe, you may not be able to see the sky from the 3rd row, but at least you'll be warm. You're still the best in the business. Keep'em coming.

Joe, Lori, thank you so much for your excellent, detailed review of the Palisade. Today, My Wife and I bought a 2023 Hyundai Palisade, in the Calligraphy trim level, in the Moonlight Cloud Blue exterior, and could not be happier. Thank you, thank you, for helping us make such an informed, smart decision. I cannot thank you enough.

The Palisade is an absolutely gorgeous Masterpiece!

I like everything about this Calligraphy, except the steering wheel. That oval hub in the middle of the steering wheel looks so old-fashioned and out-of-place, in such a modernized Palisade. Love everything else about this car!

Joe and Lori you are on FIRE! Thank you for amazing energy, your professionalism and your comedy, I'd rather watch Raiti's Rides than anything! God bless you both

Always liked the Palisade, to me it’s the top pick of any mid size SUV. Many say they prefer the Telluride but to me there’s no question which I would chose. The front end is what I like best about the exterior, but the best is on the interior. The styling and detail in the interior is why I would buy this SUV in a New York minute.

The refresh really brings the looks up a notch, I think it looks better than the Telluride refresh. One thing I noticed, they still use incandescent bulbs for the license plate lights, easy swap, I did it on my 21 Telluride . I think I’ll switch over, great review!

We have the 2023 all black XRT and love everything about it. Went from the Santa Fe XRT to the Palisade and what a difference it made for the family!

Hyundai at it again!!! This refreshed Palisade looks great!!! Maximum respect Joe and Lori for the early morning upload here!!! Y'all stay cranking out these epic reviews!!! 1 million subscribers coming up real real quick!!!

Great video Joe! Test drove the Telluride in December 2020 ended up with a 2018 Grand Cherokee

Joe, I continue to be impressed with how Hyundai has evolved over the 30+ years they've been here in the USA. This Calligraphy Edition is the exclamation point on this beautiful Palisade. While I'm okay with the exhaust showing only on the right side, I also think it would have been more attractive to split it up. Anyway, thanks, again.

Hi Joe! Got my Robust Emerald Palisade 2 weeks ago! Loving it! I love the ambient lighting! And just about everything else about the vehicle. Terrific AC for South Florida too!

I enjoyed your video it was not bias and you did not shy away from areas they could’ve done better. You highlighted the features that most people looking to buy the vehicle wanted to know about allowing for a better appreciation of this vehicle.

I stared watching your videos by myself, now the whole family love seeing your vids. You’re the best. Keep it up

Love the Palisade. Love the Telluride. I wish they both had an optional(or standard) removable center console in the back between the captain chairs. Similar to the Pathfinders.

"Easy-Peasy, lemon-squeazy." lol Love your video. Very informative, and made me laugh as well.

Watching from Fort Myers, Joe! You crack me up! Thanks for your great and entertaining reviews! 🤙🏽

Last week, we replaced our outgoing loaded 2013 Infiniti JX (with 150k miles on it) with the Calligraphy and we are so happy with this Palisade.

I bought a 2023 se 3 weeks ago and I love it. Averaging 25 mpg being about a 50 50 split highway to city. The one thing the se is lacking though is lumber adjustment. Other than that I enjoy it more than the 2020 durango I traded in for it.

The exhaust on both sides would have been icing on the cake.

Joe I agree with you on the rear wiper. Maybe Hyundai put the Exhaust on one side to fit the hitch or spare tire under , which I'd rather have. I have a 2021 limited and have my new Calligraphy due in this week, nice Machine. Excellent job Lori without you there is no Joe , lol.

Yes double exhaust tips always look better. And you're right the rear wiper should be hidden. One more thing; it should have auto folding side mirrors which Hyundai refuses to do. Ps: okay I can see reversing the colors on the silver and black panel pieces. And that small screen for temperature control is touchscreen also.

Boy, you are awesome! I could watch 50 of your videos and still be laughing. Love your enthusiasm and eloquence!

You do a great job reviewing cars! The energy is great man!

Saw this newly refreshed Palisade twice in the same Hyper White exterior, and I've got to say, it looked amazing when I saw it!

This is an amazing vehicle. Couple of things missing. 1) swiveling headlights to see as you go into a corner. 2) power folding side mirrors 3) handle for driver over the window. Otherwise this Palisade Calligraphy cannot be best. Drives great, very quiet inside and the back captains chairs OMG.

Joe.. I'm with you on the split-level front lighting. I think it looks cool, AND BMW is now doing it, but there's also some science at work here. Multiple levels of light have been proven to help with accident avoidance, especially when it comes to other drivers pulling out in front of 'other drivers, etc. Accident research, for motorcycle safety (called the HURT Report), found that when motorcycle riders install layers of light at various levels, both vertically and horizontally, it can assist oncoming drivers to better judge speed and distance, while brighter lights from a singular positioning causes confusion and blindness to other drivers. I'm noticing more car companies embracing this, at least stylistically- Jeep, BMW, Hyundai, and GM.

Great review of the Hyundai Palisade 2023. I absolutely agree with you, the exhaust pipes should be balanced one on each side of the rear of the vehicle!

The exhaust on both sides would have been icing on the cake. A redline edition would be awesome!

Love it! Just one small thing. The 2020 palisade limited also had the electric 3rd row seat. We just switched from the 2020 to the 2023!

Almost 1 million subs. Wao! Congrats Joe I've been watching your videos since you just got started and never missed one

Thanks for the amazing reviews Joe! Keep them coming brother. I just ordered a 23' palisade ultimate calligraphy in white with beige nappa leather interior ✅ super excited!

I pick up this exact same model and color tomorrow. Turning in my 2021 BMW X5 45e. This has all the same safety tech and more, with a better interface. I would like an air suspension, but for $30k less I am happy to live with a little rougher ride.

Thank you for the great review. I have a palisade 2020 luxury trim, and it’s very beautiful car

Hyundai needs to watch your videos before they redesign, I agree with all your zonks especially it not having the full panoramic sun/moon roof and split exhaust in the rear. Great review as always and great steady camera work.

I think that it should have had double exhaust tips. I own an infiniti QX60 for around the same price. A feature that I would add from the infiniti: power steering column adjustment. The Homelink button on the mirror does not work unless the car is on. I guess to make up for it, are the 2nd and 3rd row heated seats. The sound system is premium. It sounds like a concert inside the cabin. Sport mode is powerful. I like it so far.

love the video! great job hitting all the features. My wife bought the 23 Tucson 1 of my "zonks" on the Palisade is the rear wiper. hidden on our 23 Tucson. I feel for a LUX model it too could be hidden. my other "zonk" is like you said, that black fingerprint magnet is everywhere on our Tucson, keep your microfiber towel handy your going to need it!

I wish they put rear entertainment screens back there!! But overall I love the new look!! Interior design is phenomenal!!!

Mr. Raiti was no doubt every student's favorite teacher 😂 love the videos! Thank you two for the hard work!

Great video! Totally miss the Power Folding side mirrors and handle above the window. One of the cool features for the 2023 Calligraphy is the Hyundai Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA).

So, Love your channel and have to say. Had the 2020 limited pally, went to the 2021calligrapy after 1yr to the day got the 2020 to Calligrapy, since they changed the wheels/grill/facia/rear. Loved it but now in the 2021 Gensis GV80 3.5T prestige Uyuni white/ultramarine blue, and will be getting a 2023 pally calig, when I can find the color combo i want. Miss the cross "napa" triangles, but massage seat I have in the genny took me for a loop. Did not know it activates automatically after 1hr of drive time. Not sure the pally does but just a heads up lol. Great job and love the vids

I saw where another reviewer stated that those reverse lights were halogen and turned them on. Sadly they were. Glad the one you had to review had LEDs. Thanks Joe!!

Nice! I was curious what this color looked like! Going to drive it in a few days! Should be fun bump up from a sedan all these years!

I have a 2022 calligraphy and drooling over this one 😍😍😍 I had a 2020 in navy blue, then upgraded to the Maroon 2023 calligraphy.

They definitely should put another exhaust it’ll make a huge difference also the cup holders by the wireless charge pad and usbs may not be a good idea because of leaky sweaty drinks still not much to complain about great review 💯

Many thanks for sharing 👍. And many thanks, camera lady

I have a 2021 and love it. Perfect vehicle. Zero issues. Everyone who sees and rides in her gives me compliments. I’m so wanting a 23 Calligraphy. But will hold off for complete redesign.

Great video and very comprehensive. We have the 2020 Palisade and the 3rd row has the electric movement as well.

Joe you are a star my friend. I can't believe how much you spoke LOL. You helped me to learn a lot about the Palisade. Great Job!

We bought a 22 Palisade. For us it was between the Acura MDX and the Hyundai. The Acura your just paying for the name. The Palisade has way more features. Definitely the best bang for the buck. The 23 also looks fantastic! We love our Palisade! Your videos are Awesome! Thanks Joe!

Woot. Awesome review. I bought the Palisade XRT almost a month ago. Great so far.

We absolutely love our 2023 Palisade Calligraphy! There's so much more tech than what Joe goes over, ambient lighting, thigh extensions, touchscreen climate controls and the ability to pull it in and out of parking spaces with just the key fob.

Thanks you are the only guy i watch on vehicle description and im a subscriber's. Thanks lori

The way you describe cars, is awesome Sir, keep it up, your fan here from Warminster PA!

We shopped for a mid sized SUV and had to rule out the Palisade for two reasons: dealers still wanted over MSRP when car prices on general are backing off. The second reason is the Palisade earned a “poor” rating for rear passenger safety. That’s a deal breaker with two young kids. The vehicle does look nice.

Hyundai is putting out vehciles that are making others go wow. The features you get in this new 2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy and under 55k plus that warranty is just awesome. BTW I would go choose the dual exhaust on both sides IF it came with a v8 option.

Great review, was looking at a new 4Runner Limited but this one is off the hook nice!!!

Awesome review, Joe. Thanks. I liked the 2023 Palisade and looks like the customer would be getting full bang for their buck.

You just crack me up. Love your reviews, all of them. For the Palisade, which I LOVE, the exhaust is fine, I really like the dark striped features on the doors and dash which you questioned. I feel the massage seating for the driver is unnecessary. I'm fine with the manual front sliding sunroof shade. Actually much quicker than my automatic! I just cracked up about kids picking their noses on the back of the front seats! Very much like the design of the seats. I chuckle when anyone reviews the third row seats! Of course, it is tight in an vehicle other than a Suburban! You put kids back there, not 6 ft adults! I think we tend to forget this. In the end, this is a exciting vehicle!

Breakfast with the Raiti’s . Looks really good………yes Joe, needs exhaust on both sides. Love the interior…….and the ruffles ridges.

I pre ordered this 2023 Palisade but mine will be black. I am waiting. Thanks Joe for bringing this vehicle. I've been waiting for your review. Keep up the good work.

Great vid!! I have a 21 telluride sx! Knightfall!! Wolf gray! I love it!! Already 30 tho miles on it!! No issues!

Great job filming, Lori; Smooth angling and focus! Great job Joe! Nice attention to much worthwhile detail!

WOW Great review, car and superb camera work. Keep going 💪 Joe and Lori 🏁

Happy Monday Great review Dude reaching the 1M subs 👍

Hyundai is trying Hard to get me to own a Hyundai. If it happens, it will be this 2023 Hyundai Palisades Calligraphy!

Yes quad exhaust will look perfect

I own a Santa Fe 2019 Ultimate and I love the features on the Palisades but one thing that they need to change is that sensor on the lower end of the bumper! When it’s a snowy day in the north east and that sensor is covered with snow the whole system shuts down!

Appreciate your review. The wife and I are looking at this SUV. You got a new sub as well.

I have a 2021 Palisade Limited, which I love. My big zonk is that the garage door opener is on the mirror and it’s unlit, so at night you’re jabbing at the mirror to open the garage and constantly knocking it out of alignment. I couldn’t tell where they’re located on the new digital mirror that you showed. Anyway, the lack of panoramic sunroof doesn’t bother me at all. I had one on my Audi and never opened it. Lots of people complain about the side mirrors not being power retractable, but when I had that feature I never used it either.

The front facing cam got me kinda curious of debris and dirt flying when trailing in Inclement weather?? So it can get foggy

Regarding the exhaust pipes. The purpose of having twin pipes or even quad pipes is to make other drivers aware you are driving a high powered and unbeatable in a race level of power. I am a big believer of dump pipes under the car so the exhaust cannot be seen. It cleans up the lines of a beautifully designed car. Dual and quad exhaust pipes are really saying look at how much petrol I use because of my V8 or TwinTurbo V6.

Great review. Next time you are in Asheville, NC you and Lori need to take an hour drive and check out Johnson City, TN.

I'm in! I hope to be driving this soon! Thank you!

Have had my deposit on a 2023 Calligraphy since July 16th! Finally getting it on 8/22.

Joe and Lori, you two are the best in the business. Great review as usual. I think Hyundai's making real strides. People are starting to notice.

Fantastic video 😮 you make me want to buy the latest model but interest rates are too high these days. My 2020 Palisade’s features and comfort keep me happy with my purchase🤗

Joe I have a 2020 Palisades and I love it but I also fell in love with the 23 version. Everything you said with the exhaust tips and rear wiper I agree with you 100%. Thank you for your informative and colorful videos. So you know if was you that convinced me to get the Palisades ! Hyundai does a great job with the servicing of the vehicle. There's a few things that Hyundai should consider adding like power folding mirrors and power tilt/ telescoping steering would be a nice plus.

Nice review. Did I see that Lumbar support was added to the passenger side? That's what was missing prior to the 2023!

absolutely agree with the exhaust on both sides. i have a 2021 kia sorento sx line and you would think for a top-of-the-line model they would offer that, but they do not.

There's a way it wants to resemble the Nissan Patrol SE , that is if your viewing it from the sideways. Overall I love that color and the technicality of the *PALISADE*. THANKS JOE FOR THE REVIEW.

Wow I already seen the whole video I love how the car specs are very detailed I watched every second of it and loved it

I would add a tray to the right of the info system. I would by this over the Highlander. Love all the paint over the tires, Love them keeping the V6! Thanks for the video.

I think the color reversal idea would be good to try!

The most thing I love about this car it's got big space even after the 7th seats

Yes dual exhaust would have looked good my friend I LOVE how you describe the vehicles you make me wanna buy them lol 😊

We just bought the 2023 calligraphy one and absolutely love it

Yes I think the exhaust system should be split on each side of the vehicle it gives a better look

I rather go with the Kia telluride but this palisade is pretty fancy love the trim on this palisade has a lot of chrome

Hey Joe, this is a scribes dream. The Monastic Scribes (if alive today) would have loved to have gone to work in this vehicle. As usual great video.

I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the work and I love the video lot real true 👍

I can't wait to drive this!
