The care looks great, but I might have shopped around a bit more
The Palisade is undeniably a beautiful vehicle, and there’s a lot about it that I genuinely appreciate. The exterior styling is sharp and refined, and the interior is comfortable, well‑appointed, and thoughtfully laid out. It’s a vehicle that makes a strong first impression.
That said, if I had the chance to make the decision again, I’m not entirely sure I would purchase it. There are a few areas where the ownership experience hasn’t matched my expectations. At times, the acceleration feels sluggish, especially when merging or trying to pick up speed quickly. It’s not a deal‑breaker, but it’s noticeable enough to affect day‑to‑day driving.
The safety features during low‑speed maneuvers have also been a challenge. When backing out of parking spaces or my garage, the system can be overly aggressive, abruptly applying the brakes even when there’s no clear obstacle. It’s startling and creates the sensation that the vehicle has collided with something. What makes it more frustrating is that it happens intermittently, so it’s difficult to anticipate or adjust for.
Overall, while the Palisade has many strengths, these issues have made me question whether it would be my choice a second time.
