My Fourth (and least desirable) Palisade

I buy Hyundai and the Palisade Calligraphy specifically because of the technology included. The tech is great, but the 2026 falls way short in some other areas. The driver's seat power options occasionally lose settings. But the large seat problem is its inabllity to retract far enough for easy egress. Consequently, I need to have the #2 button set to all the way down and back. I manually chose #2 to exit and then #1 on reentry. Then there is the engine. I truly believe my wife's 2026 4-cylinder Sante Fe has more power and responsiveness than my Palisade. Most disappointing is the gas mileage. I have religiously track mileage on my cars for at least 20 years. This Calligraphy gets 3+ LESS MPG than my 2025 Palisade Calligraphy! Crazy for a top of line vehicle!! My driving characteristics have not changed since 2025.

2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy

Good vehicle overall. Nice amenities. Heated/Cooled seats are fantastic. Well below average gas mileage. Wireless charger in the wrong spot. Sun comes in the window and shines directly on the phone and the phone stops working because it gets too hot. Needs to be in a shaded area. Electronics are clunky. Good space back two rows.

My ride

I don’t care for the automatic bright light indicator. When turn the car off it doesn’t stay on the bright light indicator, it reverts back to normal.

Love the vehicle but not electrical malfunctions

I bought my vehicle in late July with 37 miles on it. Less than 1500 miles and a month later, I was driving in the rain when the windshield wipers, air conditioning unit and headlights stop working. I took it to the dealership where they kept it for a week and could not replicate the issues. Less than one day of having the vehicle back and problems happened again. The dealership has had my new vehicle for a month and are in the middle of replacing the dash wire harness. I love the model and all the upgrades but the electrical issues are a safety liability. I hope they fix it with no more issues.

2026 Hyundai Palisade Xrt Pro

This is my first new car from a dealership since 1980 (a Ford Mustang) as purchased low mileage newer cars from various sources. This car's ride so smooth, you even hear the fully gas engine. The only thing l do not like is the auto stop/and start features.

Like riding in a cloud

I've had my vehicle for a few months now. I took it from Wisconsin, down into Texas and all the way to Arizona and Colorado. I had a couple software glitches early on, but they went away on their own. The rest were corrected by a software update. The biggest issue I ran into was 15% ethanol gasoline in Iowa. That stuff doesn't do well in the car.

Great value per price point

Speaking for U.S.A. distribution, the vehicle is of great value for the price. I currently own (2) 2026 Hyundai Palisade (Calligraphy Hybrid, XRT).
