The Hyundai Palisade (Korean: 현대 팰리세이드) is a mid-size crossover SUV manufactured and marketed by Hyundai Motor Company since late 2018, replacing the Maxcruz (also known as Santa Fe XL outside of South Korea) as the flagship SUV under the Hyundai brand.

The term palisade means a fence of defensive stakes or a series of coastal cliffs — the latter recalling the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles or the nearly forty mile Hudson River palisade, running north from opposite Manhattan.

Overview

The Palisade debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 28, 2018, having been previewed by Hyundai's Grandmaster concept of June 2018. The Palisade is Hyundai's largest passenger vehicle to date, measuring 4,980 mm (196.1 in) long with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm (114.2 in) inches. It has 21 cu ft (595 L) of cargo space behind the third row and 87 cu ft (2,464 L) with both rows folded down. Like its predecessor, the Palisade features three rows of seating, with seating for up to eight passengers when equipped with a second-row bench seat or seven passengers with the optional second-row captain seat.

The vehicle rated a coefficient drag of 0.33, achieved with an optimised front cooling area with extended internal air guide, aerodynamic underside panels with full front and centre underbody covers, and rear wheel aero deflectors.

Introduction of the right-hand drive model started in December 2020 in Australia and Indonesia. CKD assembly in Russia started in 2020 by Avtotor for domestic sales.

Common Hyundai Palisade problems

Common Problems with the Hyundai Palisade:

  • Excessive Vibrations and Shaking: Several owners have complained about increased vibrations while driving their Palisade, particularly at higher speeds around 65 mph. This issue seems present in different models, including the 2022 model year.
  • Windshield Cracks Easily: The 2020 Hyundai Palisade has the most overall complaints, and the worst category is windows/windshield problems. The most-reported problem is also with the 2020 Hyundai Palisade for windshield cracks easily, with an average cost to fix of $1,600 and an average mileage of 14,000 mi.
  • Cracked Windshield With No Impact: The 2021 Palisade has also been reported to have cracked windshields with no apparent impact, with an average cost to fix of $1,600 and an average mileage of 8,000 mi.
  • Rodents Chewed Wires Due To Soy Based Wiring: The 2021 Palisade has been reported to have rodents chewing on wires due to soy-based wiring, with an average cost to fix of $3,200 and an average mileage of 6,000 mi.
  • Engine Related Problems: Reported issues for the 2022 Hyundai Palisade include cracking windshield and engine-related problems.
  • Poor Interior Design: The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has been reported to have a poor interior design, with the cup holder in the same area as the wireless charger, which can cause spills to hit the charging area, USB, and wire housing. The paint is also reported to be thin and chipping away within a week or two of highway use.
  • Engine Overheating Warning: Some 2022 Hyundai Palisade owners have reported getting an engine overheating warning every time they drive over 55 mph.
  • Reverse Camera and Sensor Issues: The reverse camera on some 2022 Hyundai Palisade models doesn't show what's behind the car, instead showing what's in front of it. The sensors indicating a collision also keep going off at random, causing the brakes to lock up.
  • Wind Noise: Some owners have reported excessive wind noise after going 40 mph and above, making the ride unbearable at times.
  • Steering Problem: Some 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition owners have reported a drift to the right whenever the car is driven, which has not been fixed despite multiple attempts by the dealer.

It's important to note that not all Hyundai Palisade vehicles will experience these issues, and many owners have reported positive experiences with the vehicle. However, these are some of the common problems that have been reported by owners of this car.

What year of Palisade to avoid?

If you're interested in the Hyundai Palisade, it's a good idea to be familiar with the worst years so you can stay away from them.

Hyundai Palisade 2023
  • Date Of Incident: 2024-10-18
  • Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
  • VIN: KM8R4DGE4PU
  • Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
  • Summary: I was approaching a stop sign, slowing down to around ~20 mph, then gently applied the brakes. All of a sudden, the car stared to lurch forward and the steering wheel shuddered violently as the ABS braking appeared to kick in. As the brakes were applied, the vehicle kept bouncing forward in spurts rather than stopping and it took almost twice as long to stop than it should have. There was a vehicle in front of me and my vehicle was a foot from rear-ending that car despite me slowing in advance and attempting to brake gently. The collision warning system kicked in and I suspect that the vehicle stopped itself, even though I was firmly holding the brake pedal down. My wife experienced te identical situation a week later, so this is becoming very concerning. A quick search on the internet has revealed that many other 2023 & 2024 model year have experienced the same issues, and apparently Hyundai USA is aware of the issue, but do not have a solution to fix it yet.

  • Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
  • Summary: When driving the car normally suddenly there was an extremely loud sound above us. After pulling off the road and inspecting the vehicle we saw that the front sunroof had shattered. Fortunately the bottom cover had been closed else the glass would have fallen on the driver and passengers and very well could have caused an accident and/or injuries. The remaining glass was bowed upwards and there wasn't any foreign objects inside the roof. At the time of the incident there were no other vehicles around us nor were we under any trees or highway structure. We brought the car to the dealer who claimed that something must have impacted the sunroof however that is not the case. The sunroof glass spontaneously just shattered without any warning. There had been no cracks or chips in the sunroof glass at the time.

Latest negative Hyundai Palisade car reviews

  1. Percival Armstrong 2025-02-19

    Vehicle year: 2023

    We were considering purchasing a new 2023 Palisade and the salesman assured us that it had a towing capacity of 5,000lbs. However, upon further research, I discovered that this was not entirely true. According to the Hyundai Palisade Website, if the trailer being towed does not have trailer brakes, the towing capacity is only 1650lbs. Unfortunately, this did not meet our needs as we tow two boat trailers and one utility trailer, all without trailer brakes, and our maximum tow weight is probably 3,500 lbs. We ultimately decided to purchase a 23 Chevrolet Traverse and are completely satisfied with our decision. It meets all of our needs and we have had no problems with it in the 9 months since we bought it. The highway mpg is better than expected, averaging 28 mpg and as good as 31.4 mpg with calculations made at the pump. Of course, driving conditions can affect the mpg. We never rely on the dashboard computer for accurate readings. Although we were disappointed that the Palisade did not meet our towing needs, we were happy to have done our research and made an informed decision. We particularly liked the interior of the Palisade over anything else we looked at, but unfortunately, the exterior did not excite us.

  2. Christophe Yundt 2025-02-09

    Vehicle year: 2024

    Hello! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share our experience with our 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition that we purchased in July 2022. Unfortunately, we've only been able to put 1000 miles on it so far due to a drifting issue whenever it's driven. We've been working with the dealer to resolve the issue, but it's been a bit of a challenge. They're currently on their third attempt at fixing the issue, and while they did mention having to contact corporate for further guidance, we haven't heard back from them in the last 4 days. We're hoping for a resolution soon, but in the meantime, we appreciate your understanding. Thank you!

  3. Luigi Gleason 2025-02-07

    Vehicle year: 2024

    I purchased this vehicle a month ago and was thrilled to finally have a luxury SUV with so many features. However, I have been experiencing a significant amount of wind noise when driving at speeds of 40 mph and above, which can be quite unbearable at times. I am disappointed that I am now stuck with a $50,000 vehicle that has this issue.

  4. Hunter Zieme 2025-02-02

    Vehicle year: 2021

    I really enjoyed my 2021 Hyundai Palisade for the first 6 months of ownership. Unfortunately, I experienced some issues with the car at just under 14,000 miles. While driving on the interstate, the car powered down and an alarm went off with a message on the dash instructing me to shift to P or N to start the engine. I was able to safely pull over to the shoulder and contact Hyundai BlueLink for assistance. Although it took some time to get my car evaluated at the dealership, the customer care team was helpful and provided me with a case manager to assist me throughout the process. While I ultimately decided to trade in the Palisade due to my concerns about reliability, I appreciated the stylish design and interior features of the car. I hope that Hyundai can improve their reliability and customer service in the future to better serve their customers.

  5. Lorenz Gulgowski 2025-01-19

    Vehicle year: 2023

    undefinedI was disappointed with the design of the car and the salesman did not inform us of the issues. Unfortunately, a recall was issued for the wipers due to ice and snow build-up causing them to stop working. Additionally, there is a potential issue with an electronic plug that could cause the car to catch fire, leading to a recall in September 2022. While this may be concerning, it is important to note that the issue affects some brand new Kia's as well. It would have been nice if the car had power folding mirrors, which are available in the Korean versions. If you are considering purchasing this car, I recommend testing the wipers beforehand. For me, the potential safety concerns were enough to make me switch to a Toyota.

Latest positive Hyundai Palisade car reviews

  1. Agustin Lang 2025-02-22

    Vehicle year: 2024

    The 2023 Pallisade Limited is awesome! It's roomy inside, including the 3rd row (relatively speaking...it's not a Suburban after all). The interior style and decor are very nice in the Limited and Calligraphy (the lower models I found cheap looking). The drive features are great, like the 360-degree camera views, dash controls, etc. I disagree with a couple of things described by published reviews as 'cons'. For example, I found the acceleration to be quick and the blind spot camera view (when changing lanes) to be excellent. The buttons instead of a gear shift are pretty cool too. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase!

  2. Russ Heller 2025-02-20

    Vehicle year: 2024

    My wife and I have been shopping for a few months now and we finally decided on the Calligraphy AWD after test driving different 3 row midsized SUVs, including the Kia. We were impressed by the refinement at this price point and the way it drives, giving us better command of the roads and freeways. The Palisade is also more roomy, which my high school age kids gave a thumbs up to. The acceleration was better and smoother, making it a win for Hyundai! I must say, the Palisade is the best value for my money. The level of refinement, technology, and comfort will be hard to beat. If you haven't driven a Palisade, I highly recommend giving it a try!

  3. Emerson Reilly 2025-02-18

    Vehicle year: 2021

    I purchased the Palisade in early September and so far it has been excellent. As someone in my late 70s, I have owned GMC, Fords, Chevy's, Olds, BMW 3&5 series, Genesis, and even a Peugeot (obviously an early Monday morning manufacture). I must say, the Palisade is an extremely comfortable vehicle. While it may not handle like a BMW, the ride is fabulous on an old bum. I have noticed no wind noise, maybe a little at 80+ with a crosswind, but overall it is very quiet. The safety features still amaze me for the price point, and it gets good (25) mileage at 75-80. There is also enough room for adult toys. HTRAC is stable in snow, and the vehicle has enough oompf to keep you out of trouble. After buying so many vehicles in 60+ years, I must say that this one is excellent for a midsize SUV.

    Everything this car has is worth the price. It's cheaper than a luxury car and at a better price.

    I highly recommend buying this car. It's been a while since I've been car shopping, and this car was the best option at the best value. The exterior, with its grill and wheels, gives it a nice look on the road. The interior is both luxurious and practical. I was blown away by all the features, such as the heads-up display, multiple camera angles, cooling/heating seats, and my all-time favorite, passenger talk. The kids love the large moon roof and all the USB outlets. Most importantly, even the kids in the third row are comfortable. This car was a step up from our Toyota Sienna, and we don't regret buying it at all. If you need a car that will seat all your kids comfortably and drive everyone in style at a reasonable price, then this is the one for you!
