2024 Hyundai Palisade

I absolutely love this car! It is perfect for my family of 4. It is very spacious day to day, and can fit two people (including adults) in the third row in a pinch. I probably use the third row once a week and it's perfect for that case. When the third row is down, the trunk is huge. The tech is great. I have had zero issues in my 2.5 years of owning it. Highly recommend!

Great car! Amazing features! So Comfortable and a smooth ride! I have two very tall and broad boys and a tall, giant husband to match. And we all fit so perfectly in this car. And when we travel, the trunk space is so spacious for all our luggage and snacks!

This was my first mom car, I bought it when we were pregnant with our first and the current car I had didn’t fit a car seat. For 1-2 kids, it was great. The only real complaint I ever had about the entire car up until the end was that there just weren’t enough cupholders up front. There are only 2, and as someone who frequently carries a 40 oz water, coffee, manual breast pump, and a bottle for milk storage, 2 cupholders was really underwhelming. We did end up having to sell this car and upgrade when our third was born. Three kids under three translates to three rear facing car seats and the captains chairs and third row set up of this car was completely incompatible. I tried every car seat setup possible (even the most inconvenient for me to access) and none of them worked out while meeting the safety regulations of the car and car seats. I will also note that the trunk is a dream IF the third row is down. If the third row is in use, the trunk is really barely big enough to fit a stroller.

We absolutely love our Palisade! When we bought it, we couldn’t afford a full-size SUV, so we chose the Palisade knowing we’d likely own it for a few years before upgrading again. I purchased it right before getting pregnant with my second child, and we have loved it ever since. For a 2022, it has an incredible amount of technology and comfort features: heads-up display, power seats, power-folding seats, built-in sunshades, seatbelt indicators, customizable interior lighting, Passenger Talk, adaptive cruise control, and SO much more. As we’ve started looking at full-size SUVs, we’ve realized the only features we’re really missing are a rearview mirror camera and hands-free driving—neither of which were really an option when we bought it. My husband and I often joke that if Hyundai made a full-size SUV, we’d buy it in a heartbeat. After owning two Hyundais, we’ve found they offer nearly all of the luxury features we want without the luxury price tag. My biggest complaints are the trunk space and third-row usability. Thankfully, we haven’t had a third child as quickly as we planned, because having a car seat in the third row would be incredibly difficult. The seats only slide forward, so I’d only put a small child back there who could buckle themselves. The trunk is also a little disappointing. We live on a farm and do large grocery hauls since I only shop every week or two, so I usually have to put down at least part of the third row. Other than those things, we absolutely love this car. It has been such a great family vehicle, and we know we’ll miss it when we eventually upgrade to something bigger!

We have had this car a year and so far LOVE it. Overall the pros way out number the cons. We love the comfort of this car, the space feels so much larger than the 2011 Highlander we upgraded from. We can comfortably take a trip with our family of four and have plenty of room for everyone and all the luggage. We have the Limited trim level and it included some of my favorite features. My husbands must have were the Air Conditioned seats and this trim level has them (and heated) in the front and second row captains chairs. They are amazing! This also included a heated steering wheel! I had no idea I would love that feature as much as I have. Now for a few cons. I wish for a 2024 car that the Apple Carplay feature was wireless. I know it is not that big of a deal but having to plug in my phone to pull Carplay up is kind of a pain. It has to be just the right cord and sometimes just barely touching the cord disconnects it. Other than that there really isn't much we don't like about this car. The backup and overhead cameras are so good, gas milage has been great, cup holders are standard and good. 100% we would purchase another of this same car one day!

The Hyundai Palisade is a dream that’s still going strong. We purchased this SUV in late 2021, during COVID recovery, dealing with the chip shortage and pretty much sight unseen. We could not order exactly what we wanted with limited inventory, but we saw what versions were available at the dealership and were confident this incoming one would meet our needs and it has! We chose the top level trim - Calligraphy, it’s AWD, I love the color, the design is done well, the storage and comfort are luxurious and it fits our family of 4 + a large dog perfectly. We’ve gone from 1 kid, to 2, from infant seats to booster seats now and we’ve had family sit in the 3rd row fine. My husband (6’3”) and family are all tall so it was important to us that we could fit an actual adult in the 3rd row when needed and that he could ride in both the driver seat and passenger seat comfortably. We’ve gone on many roadtrips (8+ hours up and down the east coast in all kinds of climates/weather) and shipped it across the country and Pacific Ocean to our current home in Hawaii, it’s held up well and I can tell it’ll last for our family needs for the foreseeable future. This is my daily driver, and our primary vehicle for weekends and trips. We added the crossbars on top, and do use a car-top carrier when needed. We don’t use strollers anymore, but when we did, it fit both our Nuna MIXX and BabyZen YoYo fine with the 3rd row up. My favorite features are honestly the storage/cupholders. I love that in the front I can fit a drink tray with 4 drinks easily and that each kid’s door has 2 cupholders, one for their water bottles and another drink if needed. I store all my grocery bags, an air compressor/battery jump kit and extra clothes in the back storage that lifts up in the trunk for convenience. The sunshades are also a win. Our second household vehicle is my husband’s Ford F150, that also fits all of us. This vehicle was purchased brand new, is now paid off, and replaced a 2021 Kia Telluride.

I have a serious love-hate relationship with this car. The tech and styling are great. It’s beautiful, comfortable, and packed with features that feel like they were made specifically for moms. Quiet mode, ceiling vents, a microphone to talk to the backseat, heated AND cooled seats, and so many other little bells and whistles make everyday life with kids a lot more comfortable. Where I’m disappointed is the functionality. I have three kids, all forward-facing, and the third row doesn’t have anchors available in every seat. We’re constantly changing our seating configuration depending on who is coming with us. Sometimes we have one car seat in the third row and two in the second so we can bring another adult. Other times we need two in the third row and one in the second. Unfortunately, the vehicle isn’t really designed to accommodate three car seats in those different configurations very well, which is frustrating for a family-focused vehicle. We’ve also had several issues in the almost year we’ve owned it. It currently has quite a few recalls, and we had an all-wheel-drive issue that is apparently a common problem with these vehicles. We fixed it ourselves, but it still cost around $800. Before it was fixed, the car was incredibly clunky to turn at low speeds, and I honestly hated driving it. And yet… I still love it. 😂 The features are SO good. Every time I think about switching vehicles, I remember all of the little mom-centered conveniences I would be giving up. Overall, it’s beautiful, comfortable, incredibly well-equipped, and full of thoughtful features—but the car-seat functionality and reliability issues have definitely left me conflicted.

I've had my palisade for 4 years and love it! It's extremely comfortable in both the front and in the middle row. It has plenty of room for when we have extra passengers and we never feel too cramped. I've ridden in the third row many times and find it plenty big. The only thing that bothers me about the car is that it has a hard time staying connected to Android Auto and we haven't been able to find a fix yet.
