Should You Buy a 2023 Hyundai Palisade? Thorough Review By a Mechanic

- A Mechanic reviews the updated 2023 Hyundai Palisade to see what's good about it and what's not.
In this video we take a look at the Hyundai Palisade. Many have said that this is a hot model and to a point I agree.
However there's one thing that's unusual about the hyundai palisade. It's powertrain is old school and while some will take that as a good thing, I have some concerns.
We'll do a full technical review, then we'll take a look at the exterior, interior and some things I don't like about the 2023 Hyundai Palisade.

I'm glad that someone's reviewing new cars on their serviceability. Even if the audience may not be DIY-ing as much as they use to on older cars, this helps estimate shop labor, longevity, and possible root-causes of common signs/symptoms.
Very unique niche compared to other reviewers, this guy is my favorite reveiwer now by far.
A month ago bought a 24 Palisade Calligraphy. It is the most quiet vehicle my family owned. No wind noise and minimum road noise.The tires that come with suv are Hankook and require a break in period with miles on them. If you switch to Michelin tires, they are even quieter.
I am a professional mechanical engineer in manufacturing and don’t agree some of the things mentioned in this review. The engine in the Palisade, has been around for many years and even used in Hyundai Genesis models back in the day before Genesis became a separate brand. There has been some revisions made on this engine and it runs very quiet and smooth, even in the winter.
Before my purchase, i reviewed all the competition, including Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot and the Mazda CX90. Thanking god, for me, money was not an issue due to buying it with cash with no payments. I ended with up with the Palisade because it offers the best for the money, in fact it’s hard to believe this suv doesn’t cost more than $60,000. To me, manufacturing in Korea was also a plus. Hyundai makes their own steel and most of their electronics (samsung), they don’t import them like other manufacturers do. That is why the price is lower.
Very happy with the purchase and will buy it again, hopefully a hybrid powertrain in the future.
Thank you I'm actually trading my 22 genesis this weekend and jumping into a 24 palisade
I picked up a '23 Palisade Calligraphy a year and a half ago. Best vehicle I've ever owned and I've owned many! I added an aftermarket wireless Android Auto module since it didn't come with it. I also had to beef up the stereo but I do that for every vehicle I purchase.
Did you hear about the recall for engine replacement
@03kwam65 no why don't you elaborate on that.
I had a 23 SEL Premium AWD, hands down the best car I ever owned. I didn’t even need a limited to get almost all the same features, roomy and comfortable. Unfortunately that only lasted for 1 year and 5 months when hit got hit while parked in a parking lot and was deemed totaled since it got hit so hard went off the frame. I wanted another one easily but my wife wanted hybrid next. Unfortunately there is no palisade hybrids yet, so we went with the Toyota highlander hybrid we got a week ago. So far its a great car since its the regular and not a grand it is a bit on the smaller side which is why i went with the palisade first , its growing on me. Sucks I had to get a limited model just to get 360 camera as with the Hyundai I had that in a SEL premium like the heat and vented seats, you only get that in the front as in the Hyundai you get it in 1st and second rows. But hey both are great quality cars, there is always a trade off somewhere. The plus side its a hybrid and will be saving on gas,
I understand people don't like the hard plastic seat backs. However the primary market for these suv's are family's and if you have a child behind you having a hard seat back will really help prevent your seat from being kicked in which as an owner of a palisade I really appreciate.
Great review!
True, Just the colour could have been matched. Black shows foot prints so easy.
My dad has been a auto mechanic since he was 20. He’s 80 now. He just bought one of these. And he loves it.
This review was great and exactly what i was looking for. All reviewers talk about how good this car is, no one talks about the mechanical and reliability perspective. Thanks AMD
But his raised concerns are just speculations on his part, not actual facts.
@@chuckwalla2967 Of course not. It's a 2023 model. Given Hyundai's track record, give it 2-4 years and I wouldn't be surprised if his speculations come true.
@@chuckwalla2967 When you are investing almost $60K in a Calligraphy, it is good to know what goes inside. On the Palisade forums i see there are a lot of quality issues reported. Someone reported that their car had name "SADEPALI" on the back because of production mistake , it wasn't even noticed till the time of delivery. If this is the case about obvious things, god knows what quality goes in. I kind of equate Hyundai to Samsung products , glossy and full of best features but once you start using them they just fall apart too fast.
@@dhurisunil I am typing this on a Samsung S-8 phone that is about 7 years old, and still works well. See the Carsthatlast videos for older vehicles that tend to be more reliable. If a design has only been sold for 3 years so far, very little is known about reliability at 200 thousand miles plus. Like everything human, some lie and some exaggerate, ask around for ratings. Also look at resale value, the vehicles with a better reputation are worth more used. I looked into buying a used Lexus, and for the one I wanted it had to have over 100 thousand miles to get the price down to a similar Mazda with 15 thousand miles. Mazda reputation is held down by their previous rotary engines and automatic transmissions, that have been dropped or improved since about 2012.
@@jeffruebens8355 thanks good to know Samsung has improved. I used to have am S3 which fell apart within a year . True regarding resale values
Man, this was an incredible review. Nobody dives deep into the internal mechanics that I've seen so far! Please keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your content!
This Hyundai Palisade is gorgeous; the reviews have been generally positive, but I felt they were incomplete. I greatly appreciate the objective reviews I see on this channel, as such a thing is becoming more and more rare. You present the good, the bad, and the questionable with solid explanations for each, and that is what I want! You’re not trying to steer anyone towards any destination; you’re simply pointing out the facts, filtered through your professional experiences, and allowing your viewers to make their own decisions on the matter. BRAVO! I’m a happy subscriber, and I hope you continue to give us these unbiased reviews.
Incomplete for what? So palisade is not reliable due to engine if you meant this video is complete?
@@akhere07probably means the Palisade is incomplete, not the review
@@tlewatchanon9486Clearly the commenter stated that the other reviews were incomplete, and was not indicating the Palisade (although it may be).
@@cablebrain9691 you were right, my bad
Let's be honest it can't be a 100% "objective review" coming from a toyota service, and it would be the same case for a hyundai service guy reviewing a toyota, it always gonna be bias to their own brands/then countries brands Japan/Korea.
Probably one of the best reviews I have ever seen! Please do the same with more brands/ models. Thank you for sharing!
This is by far the best car review I've seen on CZcams. Well Done. Subscribed!
These videos are some of the best reviews on CZcams. Keep up the good work
This channel really provides professional reviews that really help people make good vehicles purchase decisions unlike those CZcams videos that only discuss the look of the car and take it for a spin, keep up the good work my friend, can’t wait for the next episode.
Kudos to your in-depth interview. The strategy is great. Instead of going to the peripherals first, you begin right from the engine compartment. It really helps people not to be pulled by the other less important aspects such as interior and exterior.
Excellent ! Finally, someone comments upon the design, engineering, materials of vehicles. The review is yet cursory, but still better than others.
These videos give a high level of information, helps us to see beyond the paint and provides an insight into the manufacturer. Thank you AMD, good video.
I have to say this is a refreshingly detailed review of a vehicle. The details related to the engine, exhaust and suspension, the important info about the plastic oil filter mount...this type of info is what make this review stand out. You know when you have content like this no one has to beg or ask for a subsciption or a like. Keep up the good work
It is a great review.. but many german cars have plastic oil filter housing, the big shock is because its rated for 5,000lb towing.. its one POV but its nice to see a thorough review
Well done on the review. It's the mechanics perspective that we have been missing out on all the reviews.
I DID learn something today, thank you. Really fascinating insights on this review. I thought the car’s summation as “A sad dream” was absolutely hilarious. Keep up the great work!
I just subscribed to your channel because nobody else does in depth reviews like this and this is great to hear from a mechanic's perspective.
He is a Toyota mechanic, so not objective IMO.
New sub, awsome content. The technical aspect of your reviews are awsome. At first I thought I found the official Toyota fan boy channel. The fact that you give unbiased reviews of other manufactures is a great thing. Hoovie ,Kilmer
and Wizard are fine for laughs but you are the real deal. God bless you and your family.
One of the most thorough and honest reviews I have ever seen! The Mechanic needs to do more reviews because he is great and very knowledgeable.
More reviews like this will catapult you straight to 1 million subscribers. This is what is surely missing in CZcams car reviews. We care about luxury, comfort, quietness, power, safety, features, sound systems and long term RELIABILITY. We don’t care about exhaust noise, steering feedback and other “sporty” nonsense.
this, so much this. It seems like the average car reviewer is the result of a spoiled kid who just loved Fast and Furious ricers and now has a CZcams channel (see Matt Maran motoring).
@@mulleygraves What about him? He likes to actually drive cars.
This is anti-enthusiasm if I ever see it.
Why’d you buy it in the first place if you didn’t care about all those things?
Interesting that CR said this about Palisade noise: "The Palisade is pleasantly quiet with good road and wind isolation. There is an unobjectionable engine hum in the background. The sound character is very similar to the Telluride and more serene than several competing models. SEL models and above get thicker side glass to further reduce noise".
This video influenced me so much that I decided today to upgrade from my Santa Fe to a Palisade. Thanks so much for the clarity on what is "not the end of the world", ok, good and great... The mechanics explanation was very cool: thanks!!!
Thank you AMD for your professional reviews! I'm a fan!! I love seeing car reviews and THIS is the info I REALLY NEED!!! I'm doing research for my next car purchase. You are helping me out tremendously!
I want to compliment you on your extremely detailed care care, maintenance and reviews. I watch many car mechanics, and car reviewers. You are the best of them all. Please keep making videos and posting to CZcams. I’ve subscribed to your channel, I “Like” your videos and I strongly encourage you to continue reviewing and posting videos about engines, transmissions and cars/trucks in general. You rock my friend!
I really appreciate these im depth reviews, especially regarding the drive train and overall expected reliability.
Probably the best car reviewer I have seen. This is exactly what someone who does research on car wants before making the purchase.
Thank you for taking the time to do an awesome review.
I just subscribed. I love your in depth review. The underside view inspection was 👌
I have never seen anyone take time to explain an SUV vehicle the way that you do. I will be coming back for more. This is a great idea to give details on different types of SUV. Thank you!
Excellent review! Most car "journalists" have no clue if they open the hood. Many have no idea what they are talking about. So highly informative to finally have someone talking about a new car who actually does know a lot of stuff many viewers don't!
The problem is that he is a Toyota mechanic and not objective. For example, BMW, MB, and Audi use the same kind of plastic filter housing as Hyundai, which are far superior to the poorly machined metal ones used by Toyota.
Exactly the type of details i was looking for. Subscribed
Love this review, really hope more insights will be on other new models eg.the Mazda CX90 etc. Thanks for the detailed,thorough work you do.
Amazing review AMD! Hearing the honest thoughts from a professional reliable mechanic is simply invaluable!
He is a Toyota mechanic. I don't think his comments are objective.
@@Mark-rw3kw most certainly not, that's the vibe I've gotten - Scotty Kilmer with a less abrasive delivery.
@@benb2358 Correct, most certainly not objective, since he works (or previously worked for, not sure) for a Toyota dealer as a mechanic. I think he is decent guy, but not an automotive engineer and is clueless when it comes to the way other companies do things, especially those using Mahle oil management systems with a polycarbonate filter cap (which is far superior to the POS system used by Toyota).
One of the best reviews out there. Please man, do the 2023 Pilot when possible.
Yes, please review the 2023 pilot! Deciding on the 23 Pilot Touring vs. The 22 Palisade Calligraphy
I just want to say thank you for the honest reviews. When you speak about a engine either having direct injection or direct and port fuel injection, that is excellent advice because there is very little information when tiring to find this information on the web or from a sales person. Keep up the great reviews and from a former mechanic for over 30 years you do a great job.
Great review. Keep going brother. By far best car review. I love car reviews and I watch them in different languages. This one is best because of adding mechanical part and upcoming issues and visualizing suspension and exhaust build and pointing out on details.
I absolutely love how the review steps away from the usual 'test drive' or short-term view. Typical reviews don't consider maintenance costs which include how something can break, or how easily or how difficult it is to replace certain parts. Great stuff!
The problem is that most of the information he presents about reliability are wrong. Plus Hyundai offers a 10 year - 100K mile warranty on the powertrain.
@@Mark-rw3kw Does a larger warranty automatically translate into higher reliability?
@@mottom2657 No the warranty does not automatically make the car more reliable. Initially back 30 years ago they started that 10 year - 100K mile warranty (offered in USA only) because Hyundai had a reputation of being unreliable, which was true at time. By offering the warranty they forced themselves to make better cars, and if you look at at the rating agencies who measure reliability now, they have good reliability. I have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis with the 3.8L V6 and it has been extremely reliable (but only 80K miles), far better than my 2 Toyotas. But regardless, having the warranty is better than not having it, so long as Hyundai honors the warranty, and in my experience being on many Hyundai owner forums Hyundai does honor their warranties just as good as anyone else. In terms of unit sales, Hyundai is now the 3rd largest automaker in the world only behind Volkswagen and Toyota. Back in 1960's anything made in Japan was junk, but they turned that around. Same has happened in Korea in the last 15-20 years with brands like LG, Samsung, and Hyundai. If people want to live their live looking at the world in their rear-view mirror, I think they are making a mistake, but not my problem. Up until recently the Palisade has been in such demand that dealers have been getting $5K over MSRP for the higher trim levels, and I am hoping that demand moderates and prices come down.
Great review. I just purchased a 2023 Palisade Caligraphy and absolutely love it. I am 75 and like the luxury of a Cadillac so you know where I am coming from. I also have 4 grandchildren and want to have the space of a 3 row SUV. The Palisade blew me away for what I was paying for. Great interior with lots of space and very good technology that greatly exceeded my expectations. The ride quality and performance of the V6 are totally acceptable for what I need. I learned a lot from your video on the engine (hydraulic lifters and carbon build-up) and it does concern me, but the car is garaged (I live in Chicago) so hopefully it won't be a huge problem. The 60,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 100,000 mile drive train warranty, might help mitigate the problem.
@Kphillips - Direct injection systems require premium fuel (91octane +)
I worked for Lexus for over 13 years.
When the direct injection system was implemented in Lexus vehicles, we had the same issue with direct injection. As it turns out, people were using regular octane fuel, when they should have been using premium gas.
I’m sure that if you use premium fuel you’ll avoid those direct injection issues. Direct injection requires premium fuel.
Happy travels sir 👍🏼
Very interesting I have never considered this
@@ralphlazio505Lexus owner manuals claim that normal fuel is completely okay for the engine. It’s optional, but it probably helps
It definitely. Needs premium.....if keeping car more than 5 years....fill all GDI cars with premium no matter what theanufacturer says, they wanna sell car, saying premium required kills alot of buyers.
7 min into the video and subscribed love the technical details this man covers glad I stumbled across the video very informative
Great reviews. I really appreciate that you highlight important drivetrain and engine issues.
This is what many of us were looking for! Not what the car appears to be the first 30K miles but longevity and long-term consequences of owning the vehicle. Keep it up and we'll keep watching! Just subscribed.
I'm not sure I buy it though because previous hyundai vehicles that used the lambda 2 engines have actually had good consumer reports with their engines and not many failures even past 200k miles so I'm not sure what's up with the unnecessary hate towards the powertrain. he'll most definitely be eating his words about that one.
@Bryan_Hunt hes a machanic that works on the engines and studys common engin failures...he is not paid by hyundai like those consumer report websites,
@@Tragick_Sin How is consumer reports paid? You just made that up.
Mr. Car Care Nut, I think you got something here. This is a niche, your ability to perform an unbiased technical review. Much deeper than Savagegeese’s attempt. Keep it up and in no time your channel will be the last step people go to before finally deciding to buy a new or pre-owned car. 👊🏼👍🏻
Yes definitely. It’s nice and in depth, I feel like savagegeese used to do longer videos that were more technical but those parts have been stripped out of newer videos with the same information available nowhere else like description and website.
I appreciate how this is much more in depth
@@davewilson7602 it’s definitely got some bias in here not only that I don’t think he knows this is Hyundais most reliable powertraim combo
Does he still do the audio system analysis? It was the only resource for comparison out there.
These are good videos but are maybe Asian vehicle specific. American and German products maybe absent for obvious reasons.
CCN for Engine/Reliability talk, SavageGeese for enthusiast driving impressions and more knowledge on competitive models (team of two and have been reviewing cars for longer).
My friend you do an EXCELLENT job on your video this is my first video with you and you’re IMPRESSIVE on your view of its entirety THANK you 😊
thumbs up to this review. this channel deserve more than my subscription. Tay will definitely follow this channel.
Very excellent points and professional presentation! I would like to mention (as a Toyota/Lexus fanboy) and someone who briefly owned a 2020 Sonata Limited and got burnt, but recently traded in our 2017 MDX (shoddy trans at 101k) for a gently used 2021 Palisade, I prefer the "old-school" PT solely because at this point their 3.8L NA V-6 and 8-spd trans are rather legacy products, but proven and have ideally worked the kinks out compared to their newer applications.
Fantastic review!
The comment about the interior noise surprised me because I just watched a different video review where a db meter was used, and at highway speeds the Palisade came in at the lower end of the noise spectrum relative to comparable SUVs.
Some of the early versions of Palisade had wind effect issues with the outside mirror, assembly, but supposedly that has been fixed.
I am so so glad that you covered what you did here. So educational as well. Please make videos with more details for us nerds.
What a great review, please keep these thorough reviews going!
After watching several of your reviews recently I am beginning to see how I need to move on from the dozen or so other car reviewers that I have highly regarded. You Sir have earned position Number 1 in my car reviewer hit parade. Keep'em coming! Thanks!
Definitely a "detail oriented" guy 👍
@@jaqueitch 8:06
He is just another Toyota fan boy. He just bought a Lexus GX lol, an overpriced rip off Toyota rattle box with leather seats and useless navigation
@@Arcticfox7 you're the only one who I've ever heard say anything negative about this guy. He is the best out there
@@jaqueitch all the flaws he mentioned are potential problems. He has no idea those mentioned parts will go bad or cause problems. That’s not how Toyota did it, so it’s bad. That’s his philosophy.
Get a clue!!!
Nice review Mate 👍🏻 very honest and Frank in so many ways. Well done.
We also love our Palisade, but Australian top spec (similar to US caligraphy) has slightly different options such as we get the auto folding door mirrors and I noticed some features the Aussie model doesn’t have eg 3rd Row heated seats or the power third row. Our AWD are all Diesel and all FWD V6.
In my research it’s the best bang for buck model on the (Aussie) market, but we don’t have as many options here, eg Telluride isn’t offered as well as few other notable larger vehicles.
Also interested if your “Old tech” comment is relatable to new diesel as it seems to be your biggest Con and most sold here in australia would be sold as the diesel.
Amazing reviews. Very thorough and I like the fact that you cover very technical details. And also the videos follow same steps so it's like therapy to watch one after the other! Are you also able to do a video on 2023 Kia Sorento ? Thanks
A really unique channel showing the vehicle from the eyes of a mechanic. Its like manufacturers and other reviewers can tell this and that, but when it comes thru your eyes, you tell the truth. Very useful to future buyers, Thank you sir, subbed !
Thank you very much for this review. Very detailed and took a look at things most other reviewers would never touch. I love my Kias and am looking at the telluride, but I kept hearing the Palisade had features above the Telluride. I would love you to run through the telluride and the Genesis type SUV for the full comparison, but I’m sure you’re busy and will get to the vehicles you want in good time. Thanks again.
I love how you went deep on the internals. Your insight as a mechanic provided great information on the reliablity of the car. Thank you for this wonderful review. It makes me reconsider keeping my Palisade long term.
@@macdaddyp8437 There is no statistical evidence to back up your claims.
I love this guy.
So knowledgeable.
Refreshing.
Gosh, a real review on You Tube. Love it!
Scotty will LOVE your review, especially the final conclusion. Lol. Honesty but polite opinion from a Master Technician, good job.
Scotty hates small turbocharged engines, his preference is for larger naturally aspirated 6 cylinder engines that may be more old school proven technology.
Whi gives a F what a old scotty has to say u scotty sheeps
Scott doesn't know everything
I’d love to hear your thoughts for the new Honda pilot 2023. Great video here!
Thank you. I was considering this or the Telluride. Your breakdown was awesome and I feel empowered now. Thank you so much.
Very good camera lighting ! I can see even the dark corners ! Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic review from someone objective who obviously knows what he's talking about. Very thorough and on point with the important stuff. I think you may have done it for Hyundai at around 33:15 though 😊 Hyundai should watch this video and take heed to every single observation. Very well done and thanks for the video. I'm definitely a subscriber and I'm sure that anyone else landing on this channel will be too! 👍🏻
The reviewer here is a Toyota mechanic, and not exactly objective. Hyundai sells more than 4 million vehicles per year worldwide, so I think they have some pretty good engineers.
Nice seeing some reviews on non-Toyota products. I think this Palisade gives the Highlander some real competition. Enjoyed this!
Refreshing review, unique, new angles n interesting. I have subscribed.
I just took the family from Maine to Florida and back in our 23 calligraphy. the highway drive was not loud at all. I have seen with some people have complained about the road noise, but it is not an issue in our vehicle.
Really solid car. A family member has a 2022 model and no issues in the 18 months of ownership.There only complaint is it drinks fuel but it's a boxy-shaped, heavy SUV with a big V6 engine, so to be expected! Yes the plastics on the rear of the seats are a cost cutting exercise but also by design. Small kids love to kick up the back of the seats so plastic is a wiser choice, harder wearing and easier to clean!
This is great content. Super indepth technical but any guys interested in buying a car new or used will make your channel a reference in the years to come. You earned a sub from me.
Really top notch review!!! So in-depth compared to everyone else!
Best full review on CZcams. Keep up your great work. I love the fact you show the underside and discuss long term potential issue in design and all the technical detail. We don’t need to know how sporty the family suv. Your review is on point. Really really well done.
It would be useful if everything he said was correct, but he is a Toyota mechanic and not exactly objective, and many of things he said are just wrong. For example, BMW, MB, and Audi use the same kind of plastic oil filter cap as Hyundai, because they are extremely reliable.
Really appreciated the criticisms of this vehicle. Makes your review have so much more value and credibility in my book!
Yeah, he is a Toyota mechanic who owns a Lexus. Why are his comments credible?
@@Mark-rw3kw u mad?
@@theglowcloud2215 I explained in detail elsewhere in these comments that the guy is a Toyota mechanic working at a Toyota dealer who has no idea what he is talking about. For example, he criticized the “plastic” oil filter cap that is actually polycarbonate and virtually unbreakable and the same one used by BMW, Mercedes, and many other premium brands who use a Mahle Oil Management System. This guy is an idiot who thinks that if it is not the same as the way Toyota does it then in is inferior. Ironically many Toyota owners complain on forums about the poorly machined Toyota filer cap made metal that strips the threads on the oil filter assembly. Almost all of his other comments are equally inane.
I love your channel. I view what the other guys say about a vehicle then I get the REAL understanding/review from your channel. In other words.. I get the fluff form the other reviews and get the meat and potato's from your review.. thanks for being very detailed.
Absolutely wonderful content. Your credibility and authenticity shine through. I trust everything you say. Thank you for this insightful review.
Unbiased review with a critical eye is what we as consumers need, not all the other channels who just review with kid gloves.... BRAVO! MORE MORE MORE!
Why is this an unbiased review. The guy is a Toyota mechanic and owns a Lexus.
OMG I was looking for reviews like this!! Mechanic's perspective!! Show us what's under the car, what materials they used, and how durable they are. Thank you for doing this review. I would love to see other SUVs and more!!
Omg
He is a Toyota mechanic. I don't know if he has his own shop now, but he used to work for a Toyota dealer. Not objective.
The car review that I was looking for years...... keep it up mate
You give your honest opinion from a mechanic's perspective and that is really appreciated. Good job.
Keep in mind that he is a Toyota mechanic, and probably not objective.
Excellent review from a technical perspective! It really shows what Hyundai focuses on and skimps on, which fits what the brand is all about(Fashion over function). Could you do reviews on European cars like Merc and BMW? I especially love the reviews on the engine and under car.
People don't seem to understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch. When I see Kia and Hyundai vehicles offering more features than every other competitor at each price point, I know they must be cutting corners somewhere. They have become experts at cutting the corners nobody, particularly car reviewers, will notice. They allay those concerns with a great warranty, but it turns out getting them to honor warranty repairs is difficult.
@@plmn93 What evidence do you have that Hyundai doesn't honor their 10 year - 100K mile warranty on the powertrain. Having been on some Hyundai owner forums, I would say that is not true, unless the owner did not do the required maintenance (which is basically oil changes).
@@Mark-rw3kwGenerous warranty on cheaply made vehicles is not good logic to me.
@@Mityob67 I don't know how old you are, but Japanese cars and electronics were considered junk in the 1960's but they improved. In Korea, LG (Goldstar) and Samsung were once junk, along with Hyundai. They are no longer junk and scientific statistical customer surveys have proved that Hyundai has above average reliability. The guy who made this video is a former Toyota dealer mechanic (not an automotive engineer) and now owns his own shop specializing in Toyota and Lexus, and his comments are totally biased, and often absolutely ridiculous.
Your explanation came from maintenance way and no youtuber discribe like that , i love your opinion about cars that's you present every episode
Because those youtubers got paid by Hyundai. Seriously, when you look at the underneath of the car, you really think it is better than a Toyota/Honda?
@@billytakoho5046 ,even if they're not paid by Hyundai (Savagegeese is a good example),they know something about suspension set-up but nothing about engines & transmissions.After all,almost all other CZcams reviewers are not mechanics and they sound like academics.
Great review for car enthusiasts.
Keep up the good work
Thank you so much for this video! I'm in the market for a new vehicle and this was on my list.
We are on our second Palisade and it is a great ride for the family. I call it a Korean FWD Range Rover. The weakest point is the dealerships suck with service. Our included maintenance contract takes forever for appointments and they do not address our minor issues.
This is awesome!! Thank you for the detailed review this helps anyone that is looking to buy a car.
Wow, your videos are impressive. You deserve all the subscribers and more.
Great balanced review for inside and under the hood too. Most people do test drives and performance but it’s great to hear from a mechanic on possible point of failures down the road.
Just for full disclose, he is a Toyota mechanic, so I don't think he is objective and many of his comments are misleading or incorrect.
Incredible attention to detail - especially from a mechanical (engine / underside) perspective. Please keep it up - most reviews totally skip that!
Please consider reviewing other SUVs (Honda Pilot, BMW X5, Subaru Forester, etc). Keep up the great work! 👍🏽
I think most reviewers don't even have the technical knowledge to expand like this guy. A treasure trove of a channel.
This guy is a Toyota mechanic, so if it isn't a Toyota he doesn't like it. Most of the claims about being unreliable have not basis is fact and are pure conjecture. For example, BMW, MB, and Audi use plastic oil filter caps like Hyundai. His knowledge outside of the way Toyota does things is very limited and biased.
@@Mark-rw3kw he talked many bad points about Toyotas as well.
@@manofsesame3024 The bottom line is that he is wrong about the welds on exhaust system and he is wrong about the plastic (actually polycarbonate) oil filter cap. He is just a mechanic and not an automotive engineer. He worked for a Toyota dealer for many years and now has his own shop specializing in Toyota and Lexus, so his knowledge of other brands is minimal.
What an excellent review! You’ve earned a like a sub. Thank you for the informative review!
Very insightful review.

Unlike most recent high-end cars (or Cadillacs of the last half-century), the Hyundai/Kia rear auto leveling does not have a separate compressor for the shocks. I believe they've devised a less expensive passive system involving rear shocks that generate lift from vehicle motion when higher loads dictate. I suspect that's why those rear shocks are weirdly large.
No wonder you see recall after recall for the nice looking Hyundai/Kia cars. Subscribed. Please review Subaru cars.
Thank you for the wonderful Review!
You give the most detailed informative car reviews I've seen on CZcams. 👍🏻
Very revealing. Excellent review. Perhaps the nicer interior touches will be mostly be enjoyed buy the service techs after it falls apart. Seems there are a lot of sketchy design flaws.
Great review! I have a 2021 palisade and I absolutely love it. It runs smoothly and nobody can beat the warranty .
I think Kia can beat the warranty
@@LOUNGEFLY222
Not true they offer different type of warranty’s
I REMEMBER ONE GUY WHO SAID ,THEY WARRANTY 10 YEARS IT MUST BE GOOD ? NOT SO 10 YEARS WARRANTY IS BECASE IT NEED IT.FROM CANADA HERE ITS 5 YEARS WARRANTY AND THE PRIZE IT'S MUCH HIGHER .THEY ALWAY HAD PROBLEM WITH THEIR MOTOR ASKED CONSUMER REPORT.
@@checopelon2564 They can match it, but not beat it.
@@pierrebeausoleil5885 Some of the old Hyundai's had problems, but new ones are much more reliable. Given the fact that you use all caps, you must be a really old guy.
Thank you for the video I just text drove it and after seeing your video really changed my mind
Great honest deep review, this is the kind of content that is priceless for making a wise decision before getting into these cars.
Just got myself a 2023 palisade calligraphy for my family and we love it. Drives great and Super comfortable. Took it on 2 trips already one trip was to Santa Cruz and was about a 800 mile trip (going & coming) and the second was to Salt Lake City and was about a 1600 mile trip (going & coming) and it was snowing in Utah and both trips were easy and smooth. Didn’t have any trouble with anything. I will make sure to come back when my car falls apart because this seems what everyone who drives a Toyota says about Hyundai. I myself like to think part of it is the way the owner takes care of their car but what do I know. Anyone who might be interested in this SUV I truly recommend it. It has space in all 3 rows. I’m not the tallest guy at 5’7 but being in the 3rd row I would say even at 5’10-5’11 you will have enough room in 3rd row to sit for even a longer drive. If you have any questions feel free too ask.
Hyundai under investigation for recent Palisade windshield wipers’ recall
December 18, 2022 Joseph Estabillo Hyundai Recalls
Fountain Valley, CA - December 18, 2022 - The U.S. government’s auto safety regulator is investigating Hyundai (NASDAQ:HYMTF) regarding “the scope and remedy” of a recent recall conducted for faulty windshield wipers.
The investigation could result in a recall of an additional 126,081 cars, including the following:
2021 Hyundai Palisade
2022 Hyundai Palisade
2023 Hyundai Palisade
Is it reliable...
@@express5079 I mean I just got it and driven about 3k miles and so far everything has been good but it’s too soon to know but I’m happy for now.
@@Jose_cab thanks
Interesting choice friend. Very interesting.
gianormous is a relative term. In my day a 440 magnum, 455 rocket etc. were considered big for a car engine. Love your videos, always learning something new!
Yes, but they probably generated less HP than the 3.8 L Hyundai engine. Right now, V6 engines are on the endangered species list, and almost all manufacturers are going to a 4-cylindar Turbo, which are less reliable because a Turbo operates at much high heat levels internally. Of course, pretty soon all new cars will be hybrid or completely EV.
Excellent overview of the vehicle. Keep em coming ❤
I love your videos, and how detailed you go through everything! Can you please make a video for the new Mitsubishi Outlander 2023
Best review of a Palisade I have viewed!
Always love your videos! I like old school, but was very surprised to see that the engine in mounted transversely on such a large SUV!
That is enough to make me pass on purchase, but they do look nice.
Interesting point on non-hydraulic valve lifters. Seeing this more and more on modern engines. Honda is a classic example, but even the new LT6 in the Corvette Z06 has solid lifters and supposedly do not need adjustment even at 200,000 mile! Time will tell, but love the detail you add to your videos.
PS: Brackets for engine "pull-out" are also there for engine support during lower engine/suspension service. You are a pro and I know YOU know, just adding 2nd use to anyone that does no know.
Yes you are going to see non adjustable lifter or fellow from time to time as they have pros and cons compared to self adjusting.. with a more aggressive cam timing or phasing, high RPM they're retain more accuracy in the valve train.. however because they're fixed they're clearance is set at engine operational temp which can make them louder idling when cold
The Palisade offers FWD or AWD models, so the for FWD it has to have transverse engine mounting. For a SUV that doesn't have FWD versions (like the Genesis or some BMW models) those engines are probably mounted vertically. Genesis is the luxury car division of Hyundai.
I own a 2018 Santa Fe (similar drive line to palisade) with low ks. Regularly serviced but has had a few electrical issues. Thinking of swapping for a RAV4 .
Order one now, they take 8 months to come in
