2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy

AWD!!! CERTIFIED!!! WINTER IS COMING!!! HARD TO FIND!!! LOCAL OWNER!!! ONLY 17,000 MILES!!!How does the Palisade drive? What the Palisade lacks in all-out performance it more than makes up for with a competent and well-rounded skill set. Accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph takes 7.6 seconds, which is an average time for a three-row SUV. High-speed passing can be done with confidence. In our emergency braking tests, the Palisade demonstrated strong and predictable braking. In more routine driving, the brake pedal is easy to control for smooth stops.Handling and steering are less of a strong point, but the big Hyundai rarely feels sloppy or out of sorts as you drive around turns. Thanks in part to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, the Palisade is a stress-free companion in both city and highway driving.If you plan on taking the Palisade off the pavement, it offers decent enough ground clearance (around eight inches), but this is best suited for a rougher gravel road than anything resembling an obstacle course. That said, there's a locking center differential for added traction, hill descent control and a snow mode, but no off-road specific modes. It's got more than most people will ask of it.
