Repeat Palisade owner--but missing some features from 2021 vehicle

Really like that this vehicle is now offered in a Hybrid. Please note both vehicles I have owned are CalligraphyDisappointed in the following: 1 - the driver seat leg extension is gone- in place a silly recliner that will never be used by the driver 2- the cup holders don't over support for different sized water bottles--too flimsy drink holder vs 2021 version 3- For second row fold forward option--prefer the manual speedy fold and move forward vs the powered one now. 4- the center console is too small in the newer vehicle--can't hold a box of tissues 5- the glove compartment isn't even large enough to hold the car owner's manual 6- the front seat windows are an unusual shape--also it is difficult to ride with only 2 windows open vs all windows and not have lots of noise Like the ability to finally connect phone to Car Play wirelessly Like the massaging seats- would have liked for passenger to also have the option. This is the 4th Hyundai we have owned- Santa Fe, Veloster, 2021 Palisade Calligraphy and now 2026 Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid-- we used to only want to buy Honda and Toyota-- like the features that Hyundai offers like ventilated seats -- I would be happy to give input with future redesigns Jennifer Braun 513-673-9866

Battery goes dead.

The car battery has been dead two times when it was not driven for about a week. So it has been back at the dealership for extended periods.

2026 Palisade Hybrid

We bought our vehicle to embark on an 18 hour drive on Christmas day. We packed the car and it would not start. The battery was dead with 700 miles on the car. We called Triple A 2x that morning on Christmas and they tried to jump start the vehicle. In addition to the 2 Triple A calls, we also drove it around for an hour in between Triple A technician visits. Ultimately the battery could not hold the charge and we were unable to drive the vehicle. We crammed 3 people and 2 dogs into a much smaller car and we started out hours late on the journey and we had to stop at a hotel for the night. I asked Hyundai customer service and roadside assistance to cover the cost of the hotel and they both refused. We paid over $65,000 for a new car that did not work. Ultimately the dealer said it was a "faulty sensor" and a "bad battery" and replaced both. Since this was a technical issue with a new car that cost us out of pocket, I wanted Hyundai to cover the cost of a hotel which was approximately $300. I sent in the receipt. I am beside myself at the lack of customer service. It ruined our drive on Christmas day. Why can't the company do the right thing? $300 is nothing compared to a $65,000 purchase???? I am disappointed and angry.

Very comfortable, quiet and well equipped vehicle.

Over all, my wife and I are very happy with our 2026 Palisades Calligraphy Hybrid. It is a very comfortable, quiet, nice riding and easy to drive suv. It has great features, which I won’t list here. I rated it a four star instead of five star for the following three reasons. 1. Only an abbreviated owner’s manual. I had to go online for too many things not included in the printed manual. Had to either print or copy operating or other instructions. I am old fashioned and read the manual when I buy a vehicle. Too much obvious BS forced in manual by legal department. 2. Touch screen display too confusing for this techno dinosaur. 3. Highway economy 3-4 mpg below window sticker (Maroney) estimate. I am a very conservative driver and usually get or exceed estimate.

The car has unbelievable technology in terms of the number of features and their performance. And for a car of its size, its handling, performance, and gas mileage are great.

Bought because it was supposed to be the best car for seniors. Easier to drive and more comfortable.

Unreliable Though when worked enjoyed driving car

Within two weeks of owning the car, the battery was dead and the car wouldn’t start. It took over a week of back-and-forth to get it replaced, and then, unbelievably, the new battery also died within a month.

Love my Palisade...."BUT NOT"........ a fan of the sound of the engine

So far I am achieving 30 mpg and am very impressed,,,,,but starting out when the engine kicks in from battery, the engine sounds like a sewing machine.... REALLY ANNOYING! Once you press he accelerator it absorbs the clunkyness of the engine sound... I was one of the first purchasers of the new Hybrid... Is this normal or should I take it back to the dealer for adjustment???

Former Chevy Traverse High Country owner

My previous car was Chevy Traverse High Country. Compared to Chevy, Palisade has superior build quality. I like the interior styling too, and the brown leather looks very cool (my Chevy also had brown leather, but not the plastic). I like the tech, it's definitely better (although my Chevy was top of the line). Overall, I like the car very much. But! There are ways that my Chevy was superior: 1. I could go to the next track in Spotify by pressing "up" button. In Palisade "up" goes back, and "down" goes forward. I see the logic, but pushing up on the toggle is easier than pushing down, and we can agree that changing tracks to the next one is way more frequent. PLEASE PROVIDE a way to change the reverse the direction, so pressing "up" goes to the next track. 2. Paddle shifters are useless to me. PLEASE PROVIDE a way to assign changing tracks to them, or some other useful function. 3. Why there is no way to make AC to blow just up? I can use defroster switch for that, but that is backwards. PLEASE ADD one more option to "flow direction" toggle - it should allow selecting "up" only (not together with "down" as it does now - my feet are freezing and I don't like that). 5. The fancy maroon colors should be lighter. I have a green car, but most of the time it looks black, and I see green only occasionally when the car is under direct sunlight. The BIGGEST complaint so far: on some roads with small periodic imperfections (thing seams, or grooves) the car starts bouncing pretty hard. It gets really uncomfortable, you feel like you're driving over a washing board. I NEVER had this happen in my Chevy. SLIGHTLY SMALLER gripe - why autosteering is turning on when adaptive cruise is enabled? I don't want autosteering, I don't trust it, and when it turns off there is no sound. Right now I have to disable it (pressing a button) every time I turn on adaptive cruise. PLEASE PROVIDE A WAY to disable autosteering for good. A single build quality gripe - in my car, the dashboard in the passenger half has a weird crease, which is pretty long. It's not super visible unless you're in the passenger seat, but it's there, and you can feel in the plastic. See pictures of it. If there is an option to fix, I'd like to do that.
