Hyundai Palisade

[Brigadier]

This will be interesting to watch

A truly sad development is the Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert. Now we need sensors to remind us if we left a child or dog in the back seat.

Looks like a pumped up 2019 Santa Fe, which isn't a bad thing.
The Palisade should do well.
Glad they went with a conventional 3.8L.

This should be a big seller for Hyundai. The segment is growing quickly.

 

[Zee09]

Looks like an Atlas

 

[Quattro Pete]

Have they given any pricing indications yet?

 

[RamFan]

Looks like a Tahoe's older, hotter sister.

 

[geekster]

I think this looks really good. I also think it's going to be pretty pricey.

It's a nice looking SUV, but that complicated grille is going to be difficult to keep clean, and a task to clean period!

It does seem to be the trend these days.

I think it looks like Infinity and Hyundai had a love child.

Those head lights on the Hyundai are awful looking.

I don't see it.


The headlights blend in with the styling versus sticking out from it. I like it.

Is it a reincarnated one-model-year-only 2009 Kia Borrego (in the Hyundia-Kia conglomerate)? That one-hit wonder also had a 3.8L V6.
And don't we already have a Sorento-SantaFe to fill that segment?
I would like to know how the "in-vehicle intercom" works... what ever happened to yelling? Parents enjoy yelling. Don't deny them the joy.
An intercom to talk 6 feet away, what will they think of next. Geniuses.
And the Kid Quiet Zone to blank out the kid's screaming is a technical tour-de-force!

If the kid has full size headphones on his ears blasting loud music, then neither yelling nor intercom is going to grab his attention. They need something in the seat that will pop out and poke his behind.

Electrocution on the back seat, with a switch flipped by the driver! We are clever on bitog. Proved it again. Crowd-sourced brainpower here. Parents can replace the joy of yelling with the joy of electrons.

A not so gentle seat massage. I like it.

Traverse chassis

Hyundai's hit this out of the park, and it doesn't look like a Subaru and Honda had a kid.

I think you're right. They will do well with this vehicle. The fuel economy is not too shabby for something this size either.

The "Cone of Silence" feature is interesting. Being able to blank out kids fighting in the rear will lower tensions up front. I'm curious as to how it works. Noise cancelling?

To me it looks nothing like an Infinity, but what do I care? My uncle had an Excel in 1995 and it was junk (sorry, haven't read this line in more than a year and I was waxing nostalgic in my old age).
