I really like these more appropriate tests for each car. Those overhangs are challenging with the Pallisade. Good stuff Ryan.

I love the new test track that you have and are making it better better just like the one over the mountains you have

I enjoyed watching this test and look forward to seeing more from the new test track!

I look forward to you finishing the new course and all future testing on both the old and new.

Really enjoying your videos,all the time you put in the details is amazing!Would be nice if you could put your hands on an Acura RDX…

You told the true "lock button". People thinks that they have proper locker but this is just multiplate clutch lock. Great review as always. Merry Christmas. Greetings

I gotta admit...I love the "can you sleep in it" part!

I think it did great, more than anyone ever will do with it. Considering this was the first vehicle in the course I think it did great

Great machine, specially under the hood and its infotainment.

I drove one of these for a week and man , they are waayyy nicer than people think . Super smooth , solid , and the engine is perfectly tuned . They aren’t slow at all . 😊

Nice, roomy and very good IMO. The Grand Highlander is nice also for sure but it is quite a bit more money.

I´ve admired the tires work, because without them nothing happen.

This XRT trim on the Palisade and Tucson are for looks only. If you want a more capable Palisade and Tucson for moderate off-roading, I suggest you wait for the next-generation models which will be similar to the Santa Fe. Also, Hyundai need to do a XRT trim for the Venue and Kona.

If you could reply with your experience I am very curious for your personal opinion, two very different cars but considering the palisade vs the toyota crown curious which drive experience you prefer. Both videos were great

Its getting a bit annoying with all these badge only trims that try to give the impression of some sort of sporty or offroad capabilty only to be black badges and grill. Whooptee doo. Lol Seems the Honda Pilot is the only "reliable but sorta bland crossover from Asia" that has a badge and actual off road changes. Nissan, Hyundai, Toyota, and Kia are fakin it. Even US brands dont have much except like the Z74 on Tahoes. Otherwise: solid crossover! Always liked the look of these and they have some pretty good details and features. If I needed a 3 row family SUV I'd look at this as a major contender for sure.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk brings it for the most part, Locker, disconnectable sway etc...just no third row. But nobody whose buying these cars are actually using something like a locker.

The body and greenhouse looks like a Chevy Traverse.

Roller testing would show the intended AWD capability, but of course still dependent on clutch strength, it seems some vehicles get really good on rollers then overheat in heavy testing anyways, but it tells us it will do it's wonders on wet and snow just not for rough climbs were something like A-Trac with better clutches would do better

@elkofcanada5003

Pretty sure A-TRAC just aggressively clamps down on the spinning wheels which is why it does so much better (not overheating) vs clutch based AWD. Also helps A-TRAC vehicles are all either 4WD with a always on centre diff lock or mechanical locking centre diff.

At the very minimum, it should have a one inch lift, proper tires and slightly better tuned transmission

It’s a nice looking vehicle for sure, but for the price and utility I’d had to go with the Subaru Ascent. Great video and presentation as usual! I have to say that I really enjoyed the roughed in section because it’s realistic to what many owners will experience…no private courses, etc (nothing wrong with that!) but uncut trails with a lot of vegetation and other ‘raw’ types of trails

The only advantage Hyundai has over the competition is price.

Lol not just price. High end interior materials, great space, more technology and the best warranty! I am a professional manufacturing engineer and a vehicle enthusiast. I chose the 24 palisade calligraphy over the competition, and when i say competition, I reviewed all of them before making the decision. Palisade is also made in Korea, to me it should be more reliable than the ones made in US and trust me, i know!

The 50 series rubber is the tell.

Nothing like a Subaru 👌

Can you rock these new "push-button" automatic transmissions when stuck in mud or snow? An old fashioned gear shifter seems like a better solution (ie. No searching for the reverse/drive buttons, etc.).

Sport mode then downshift then gas. It still might not be that fast, but that’ll be your fastest “launch”

It would be awesome if manufacturers can make a combined clutch and mechanical locking system. So Full auto AWD is clutch based on/off,. At the moment one selects 4H 4L, or manually engages a locker (center, rear, front), it's switches from the clutch pack to fully mechanically locked.

While watching the first description of this and seeing an SUV with the street tires on it... I was thinking wouldn't it be good if they took this chassis system ground clearance and put a minivan body and interior on it. Might be more satisfying of a vehicle that way. But as either style it still needs a more "off-roady" setting on the all-wheel drive system. And Really, performance street tires on a "SUV". 🙄

If it's advertised model designed to look like an SUV of any type then it should be able to be taken down a rough nasty dirt road.

It still needs to be taken down a rough nasty dirt road to test. Did you think they are trying to package this and sell it as a basic minivan?

Not ALL SUVs are built with off-road terrain in mind. Most that LOOK like they are, only have appearance packages, nothing special that adds to their off-road capability. It’s not a Ford Bronco or a Jeep Wrangler…it’s a family SUV that can handle most any place you need to take a family in a normal day.
