 What is up you guys, welcome back to another one. If you are new to the channel, I am Goldpony, and today we are in the new 2020 Hyundai Palisade. And I got to be honest, I'm quite excited for this one. The reason being is because my family does have the three-row Hyundai Santa Fe, or Santa Fe XL, as it is now called. However, the Hyundai Palisade is going to be the three-row SUV replacing my current Santa Fe. So is it time to trade up? Today we are going to find out, and as always, let's start with pricing. It said there will be several different trim levels for the 2020 Hyundai Palisade. First one being the SE starting at $31,550, then SEL, which is the one we have today, starting at $33,500, and lastly, the limited starting at $44,700, and that was all pricing for the front-wheel drive versions. If you wanted to add all-wheel drive, simply add $1,700 to any of those prices. Let's say that regardless of trim level, the power plant is going to be the same on the Palisade. Powering this beast is a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6, putting out 291 horsepower at 6,000 RPM, 262 pound-feet of torque available at 5,200 RPM, power again sent to front wheels or all-wheels, actually interesting tidbit about that all-wheel drive system. That is the H-Track all-wheel drive system, originally reserved for Hyundai's luxury brand, Genesis. However, now available as the all-wheel drive setup for most Hyundai's, including this new Palisade, so that is definitely quite nice. So anyways, power sent to the ground through an eight-speed automatic with paddle shifters, which you guys know, we will definitely be testing out in a little bit here. And all in all, zero to 60 time comes in in approximately 7.2 seconds with MPG numbers coming in at 19 city, 26 highway for the front-wheel drive, 19 city, 24 highway for the all-wheel drive. That's essentially pretty on par for the course as far as all-wheel drive three-row SUVs go. But so then before we do any kind of accelerations in the new Palisade, there is a circular dial with several different drive modes available on this one, including Comfort, Eco, Sport, Snow, and Smart. Smart being the driving mode where the Palisade essentially determines which driving mode is best based on your current driving style. So that's pretty cool. But so we are not going to put it in that smart driving mode today. What I'm going to do is turn this little knob to the left here, and that is gonna give me a sport driving mode because I would now test out the paddle shifters on this Palisade because a lot of times with SUVs, paddle shifters don't really react all that quickly, but we're gonna give it a shot anyways. Let's do a quick little acceleration as well. Let's test out the acceleration and the paddle shifters on this new 2020 Hyundai Palisade. Slight delay to the paddle shifters, but as far as acceleration goes in, three-row SUV, it's certainly more than enough power. Not gonna have any issues with merging onto the highway. Definitely 300 horsepower. That's gonna be plenty of horsepower in just about any vehicle that you go with. But so then touching on braking a little bit, braking is of course equally important. You will of course find four-wheel disc brakes on the new 2020 Palisade, and let's test out the braking feel. It's freaking excellent. The braking feel is wonderful. Instantly brings you to a stop. No brake pedal delay or anything like that. It's a well-done Hyundai. I love the braking feel in this thing. When it comes to the suspension and handling upfront, you will find a McPherson strut front suspension in the back and independent multi-link rear suspension. And as far as ride quality goes, I think this is the first thing I muttered to myself before I started filming. Smooth, man. It's smooth, son. This thing is smooth. Quite a bit noticeably smoother than my current Hyundai Santa Fe XL, actually. So for that reason, I am loving the new Palisade. It is a very smooth ride, I gotta say. As far as cabin noise goes, definitely not getting too much exterior noise is coming into the cabin, if any, actually. So very quiet ride inside. Touching on steering feel a little bit. This is probably, if I had a constructive criticism, my only one for the Palisade. It is a little bit of a loosey-goosey steering wheel, but I am in comfort mode right now. So having said that, you can adjust the steering sensitivity slightly. If I were to put it in that sport driving mode, it does give you a little bit of a weightier feel to it. It's not too much of a difference, but if you wanted a heavier steering feel, that's gonna be there for you as well. And then touching on visibility a little bit, I gotta say, it is 100% better than the Santa Fe XL that I currently have. And there's third row headrests also don't protrude too much up into the rear visibility as well. So overall, I would definitely say the visibility is much, much better in the Hyundai Palisade. I absolutely love it. But do what Austin mentioned when it comes to visibility, you will get a head-up display if you went with the limited trim level that we don't actually have today. So that's gonna be there for you. Better help you keep your eyes on the road. But now, let's now take a look at the exterior because I do like the look of this new 2020 Hyundai Palisade. And so starting up front, you will find a large front grille with rectangular blocks if you go with the SE or SEL trim levels. However, if you want with the limited, you will find chrome horizontal bars. And that is part of the way you're gonna be able to distinguish the trim levels, but to the side's projector beam headlights will come with the SE and SEL trim levels. Limited is gonna give you LED headlights, but either way, regardless of trim level, you will get LED daytime running lights with LED accent lighting as well. To make your way to the side, roof rails will come standard with the SEL and limited trim levels, rear privacy glass, of course, coming standard for all trim levels. And here's one of the key differences that I focus on when it comes to the Palisade is there is a black plastic lower lip along the side skirts in the front bumper. If you want with the SE or SEL trim levels, I currently have that on my Santa Fe XL. If you wanted to turn that into body colored side skirts in front lip, you will have to go with the limited trim level. I gotta be honest, it looks a heck of a lot better. Not that I mind the other look, but it just looks better with the limited set up there. Then zooming in on the side mirrors, I absolutely love this design. Power adjustable body colored side mirrors, of course, will come with all trim levels. They will come heated as well. And you will get LED integrated turd signals with the SEL or limited trim levels. And when I mentioned the design, I mean the LED integrated turd signals. Usually it's just one little rectangular thing that blinks, but there's a very nice design cue kind of in a sideways U shape on these side mirrors. And I do happen to like that. It's different and it looks good. So I'm a fan. Also zooming out, you're gonna find satin chrome door handles if you want with the SEL or limited trim levels. And looking down at the wheel setup, SE and SEL give you 18 inch alloy wheels. There are some optional wheel setups for those two trims, however. And the limited trim is gonna give you 20 inch alloy wheels. To make your way to the back rear spoiler with integrated brake light will come standard. Just below that, a rear window wiper. If you wanted LED tail lights, that is gonna come standard with the limited. And of course, just beside them, you will find H-track badging if you want with the all wheel drive system. And again, that is Hyundai and Genesis's all wheel drive system is definitely very nice. And just below all of it, a single exhaust outlet with dual chrome tips. So you guys know what we have to do next, even though we're in an SUV as always, here is that exhaust clip. And so, but now since we are around back when it comes to opening that rear lift gate, there is a hands free smart lift gate if you want with the limited trim level. And when it comes to the power lift gate, here's a little interesting fact. Hyundai claims it is the fastest opening and closing rear lift gate in the business right now. So here's a quick little demonstration. But so anyways, once opened up, cargo capacity behind that third row comes in at 18 cubic feet. If you fold that down, and by the way, you can fold that third row down. It is a power folding third row or is available as a power folding third row. It doesn't come standard, but it's an option there if you wanted it. Once folded down behind that second row cubic feetness comes in at 45.8. And with all rows folded, 86.4 cubic feet. So kind of for comparison sake, since I do have the Santa Fe XL, the cubic feet in the Santa Fe XL comes in at 80. So definitely a substantial difference between that one and the new Palisade. Did what I also mentioned in that cargo area, there is a substantial amount of in-floor storage if you wanted it as well. But now let's make our way to the rear seats and see if I actually fit in these. When it comes to third row legroom that is gonna come in at 31.4 inches. So for reference, I'm in even six feet tall. This is how much space I have back there. And what I did actually like about getting into that third row is to get into the third row. All you need to do is press one button on the second row seat. That's gonna completely slide forward. And in addition to that, you have a grab handle to help you get into the third row. And once you're in that third row, not only do you have USB charging ports to charge up your smartphone or tablet, but you also have a reclining third row seat if you want with the limited. And that is actually an option that we have here on the SEL trim level. So little extra luxury for the third row passengers. That's definitely quite nice. Make your way to the second row that comes in at 42.4 inches of legroom. That is a ton. For reference, I'm in even six feet tall. Definitely more than enough space for me back there. And you're gonna find USB charging ports found on the back sides of the front seats. That's definitely something different. I kind of like it. It's different. I like different. But cup holders are gonna be absolutely everywhere in this thing you guys can see. And you're probably wondering, you're taking a look at the captain's chairs I have on this particular Palisade here today. There is second row bench seating that's gonna come standard with the SE. It is gonna be optional on the SEL. However, second row captain's chairs are gonna come standard with the SEL or limited trim levels. Do want to also mention for some added comfort for those second row passengers, there are heated and ventilated rear seats as well. And when you're getting in and out of this one, here's a feature that I have never seen on any other SUVs before. There is what I guess I would call a coat hanger for your seat belts. Basically helps keep the seat belts out of the way so you can freely move in between the rows. But nobody else is doing that. I like that because that does sometimes get in the way when you're making your way to that third row at least. But anyhow, let's make our way up to the front seats. Power front seats with power lumbar will come standard with the SEL trim level and up. You will also get a leg cushion extension for the driver's seat if you go with the limited. That's usually something you find on like a BMW or Mercedes or something like that. That's nice. Cloth services come with the SE and SEL trim levels. Premium Napa leather comes with the limited. And again, with the SEL that we have today, we do have that Napa leather because it is an option if you wanted it with the SEL. And when it comes to those front seats, heated front seats will come with the SEL and limited trim levels and you will get ventilated front seats if you want with the limited. They take a look up front, there is a tilt and telescoping steering wheel and it does kind of have a three spoke design to it and is leather wrapped if you want with the SEL trim level and up. And it will come heated actually as well if you want with the limited. Then when it comes to the startup, let me first start by showing you guys the key here. You do have your Hyundai logo on the one side and when you flip it over lock, unlock that button to pop the rear hatch and that circular button that we have on our key today. That is actually an optional remote start that we happen to have here. So all you need to do is simply hold that down and the Palisade is going to start up for you, warming up on super cold days here in Pennsylvania. So that's definitely pretty nice as well. If you wanted to push button start, that is going to come with the SEL or limited trim levels. SE trim level is actually going to come with the standard turn key set up there. But anyways, once started up, this is where the Palisade can differ quite substantially comparatively speaking to the Kia Telluride at least. The gate setup that we have today, you got your tachometer on your left speedometer on your right. I like the blueish hue around the exterior perimeter as well. There is a seven inch digital display front and center which can be controlled by using the steering wheel mounted controls on the right side there. There's a ton of different things you can display like when you need your next oil change, how many miles you have left until you hit empty, a digital speedometer if you wanted it, a bunch of other stuff. But really where the difference comes in is there is an optional 12.3 inch digital gauge cluster available that's actually going to come standard on the limited trim level. That is going to give you a full digital gauge cluster just like BMW is doing or Audi or a lot of the high end manufacturers you can now find it on the Hyundai Palisade limited trim level. That is definitely quite nice. So I am definitely a fan of that. But now let's make our way to overall interior quality ambient lighting with 64 color options that come with the limited trim level. That's definitely nice. LED interior lighting comes with that limited as well by the way. Rear ventilation is going to come standard for all three rows. Those are there's circular air vents in the roof of the Palisade. Autodimming rear view mirror with homeland controls for up to three different garage doors are going to come with the SEL trim level and up. And I got to say that's definitely a big feature because I have the garage door opener that clips to the vanity mirror and sometimes that gets a little bit noisy. So I do like the homeland controls for that reason but some of the cooler features there is a driver talk in car intercom system so you can project your voice throughout all three rows kind of like a school bus driver would possibly unnecessary but definitely pretty cool. Dual panel sunroof is going to come with a limited trim level. However, there is a standard sunroof available and that is actually the one you're looking at right now. And overall I do love the interior of this Hyundai Palisade. It is a very clean design. I like how the tech display ties in with the gauges. I'll get more into the tech display in a second here but the lighter color interior is definitely quite nice. It actually kind of looks like a yacht inside of this Palisade. And let me show you guys a little bit in the center here to use these cup holders. There's actually buttons that you can press that kind of push out the other side of the cup holder. You see what I'm saying here but kind of scared me how quick they open up there but I thought that was pretty cool. Just beside that there is a wireless phone charging system there along with USB port as well. Just behind that the center armrest underneath of that there is a very deep storage system I will also say that. Overall for Hyundai not being a luxury brand so to speak it is a very high end finish. It's all into details like you guys can see on the air vents there is a little texturized aluminum look to the little buttons where you can adjust the air vents. They could have been just a black plastic but Hyundai didn't do that. Also like that the silver trim detail ties in from the doors to above the dash as well. And again the LED interior lighting the texturized silver button to open up the power moon roof. It's all in the details and Hyundai covered their bases on all of this. But so now since I have already mentioned it let's make our way to the tech display because we do have an upgraded tech display. I'm gonna be honest there is an eight inch color touchscreen display that comes with the SE and SEL trim levels however. There is a 10.25 inch color touchscreen display if you want with the limited. And again it's optional on the SEL and that is the one we have today that ties in very nicely with the gauge setup that kind of all makes it look very uniform but Bluetooth and audio streaming will come standard either way as well as Android Auto and Apple CarPlay again standard either way. Factory navigation system is gonna come with the limited and it is gonna be part of that optional upgrade that you can go with with the SEL trim level. Did what I also mentioned there is something called quiet mode. Well quiet mode is selected basically the radio where the speakers anything coming out of the speakers is only gonna be played in the front seats. All the speakers behind those front seats are gonna be disabled essentially at least until you turn quiet mode back off but that's kind of cool if maybe if you have some kids sleeping in the back but you still wanna listen to the radio up front that's kind of nice. And like I was mentioning earlier we do have the optional driver talk system with the intercom so let's go ahead and test that out real quick. Neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh, neh. This intercom system is nuts bro. And so then in addition to that awesome system there is also your radio settings as expected and when it comes to the sound system there is a six speaker sound system for the SE or SE L trim levels. However, there is a 12 speaker Harman Kardon surround sound system with a limited with 630 watts but that of course is not the sound system that we have today. So let's go ahead and turn on the radio so we got playing today and let's test out the clarity of this one. That I like sometimes being loved by- Honestly more than adequate for the Palisade. Not anything that's gonna take your breath away like Bowers and Wilkins and Mark Levinson or something like that but still definitely quite a nice sound system for the Palisade. But so last thing on the Texas Splay I wanted to mention is when you do put the Palisade in reverse you will find a rear view camera with dynamic grid lines letting you know who or what is behind you which is always is going to lead me into safety. And so to start there are front side and side curtain airbags also a driver's knee airbag as well. In the back you're gonna have latch aka lower anchors and tethers for children for the rear car seats. Also rear child door locks back there as well but here's where the safety gets good. All trim levels of the new 2020 Palisade will also give you reverse parking distance warning where the car is gonna beep at you if you get a little too close to an object or a tree in my case. There is also gonna come standard a rear occupant alert so you don't leave any people or dogs or anything like that in the vehicle. Forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian detection also standard lane keep assist driver attention warning so the Palisade is gonna monitor your driving habits and then alert you if it feels you are starting to get tired or if you're starting to swerve a little bit too much or something like that. SEL trim level is also gonna add a blind spot warning system with rear cross traffic alert and lastly the limited is also gonna give you front parking distance warning. And so but anyways that is about it for this one you guys thank you so much for watching be sure to like the video and subscribe feel free to follow me on social media at the bottom of the screen there and I will see you guys in the next video. Let's take a hold. This thing is driving itself. It just steered me back in the lane. You're ridiculous Palisade, you're ridiculous.
