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

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

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.

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

What about the 2020 Hyundai Sonata full review and a test drive?

Opulence! You own everything!!! -8-

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

You need ⛽️😂😂😂

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?

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!

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

Looks like a great car – might have to consider for the next vehicle for my hiking tours!

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.

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 🙂.

Great Job Guys! If someone is going to add all those options to the SEL why not just get the Limited? Did you guys mention the 10 year powertrain warranty? That’s attractive in itself. We just bought the SEL Santa Fe and can’t beat that for low $30’s After wheeling and dealing $27K with Zero Financing! How can anyone beat that? Bigger than a compact and smaller than large. I love the amount of room inside compared to the compacts and it drives a size down. I am going to look at this Palisade for myself after the newness comes down a bit and deals are made. 😉

Howdy, great review as always!😸😻😸

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

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
