Should You Buy a 2023 Hyundai Palisade? Thorough Review By a Mechanic

A Mechanic reviews the updated 2023 Hyundai Palisade to see what's good about it and what's not.

In this video we take a look at the Hyundai Palisade. Many have said that this is a hot model and to a point I agree.

However there's one thing that's unusual about the hyundai palisade. It's powertrain is old school and while some will take that as a good thing, I have some concerns.

We'll do a full technical review, then we'll take a look at the exterior, interior and some things I don't like about the 2023 Hyundai Palisade.

A month ago bought a 24 Palisade Calligraphy. It is the most quiet vehicle my family owned. No wind noise and minimum road noise.The tires that come with suv are Hankook and require a break in period with miles on them. If you switch to Michelin tires, they are even quieter.
I am a professional mechanical engineer in manufacturing and don’t agree some of the things mentioned in this review. The engine in the Palisade, has been around for many years and even used in Hyundai Genesis models back in the day before Genesis became a separate brand. There has been some revisions made on this engine and it runs very quiet and smooth, even in the winter.

Before my purchase, i reviewed all the competition, including Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot and the Mazda CX90. Thanking god, for me, money was not an issue due to buying it with cash with no payments. I ended with up with the Palisade because it offers the best for the money, in fact it’s hard to believe this suv doesn’t cost more than $60, 000. To me, manufacturing in Korea was also a plus. Hyundai makes their own steel and most of their electronics (samsung), they don’t import them like other manufacturers do. That is why the price is lower.

Very happy with the purchase and will buy it again, hopefully a hybrid powertrain in the future.

I'm glad that someone's reviewing new cars on their serviceability. Even if the audience may not be DIY-ing as much as they use to on older cars, this helps estimate shop labor, longevity, and possible root-causes of common signs/symptoms.

My dad has been a auto mechanic since he was 20. He’s 80 now. He just bought one of these. And he loves it.

I understand people don't like the hard plastic seat backs. However the primary market for these suv's are family's and if you have a child behind you having a hard seat back will really help prevent your seat from being kicked in which as an owner of a palisade I really appreciate.
Great review!

This review was great and exactly what i was looking for. All reviewers talk about how good this car is, no one talks about the mechanical and reliability perspective. Thanks AMD

This Hyundai Palisade is gorgeous; the reviews have been generally positive, but I felt they were incomplete. I greatly appreciate the objective reviews I see on this channel, as such a thing is becoming more and more rare. You present the good, the bad, and the questionable with solid explanations for each, and that is what I want! You’re not trying to steer anyone towards any destination; you’re simply pointing out the facts, filtered through your professional experiences, and allowing your viewers to make their own decisions on the matter. BRAVO! I’m a happy subscriber, and I hope you continue to give us these unbiased reviews.

I have to say this is a refreshingly detailed review of a vehicle. The details related to the engine, exhaust and suspension, the important info about the plastic oil filter mount...this type of info is what make this review stand out. You know when you have content like this no one has to beg or ask for a subsciption or a like. Keep up the good work

Great review. I just purchased a 2023 Palisade Caligraphy and absolutely love it. I am 75 and like the luxury of a Cadillac so you know where I am coming from. I also have 4 grandchildren and want to have the space of a 3 row SUV. The Palisade blew me away for what I was paying for. Great interior with lots of space and very good technology that greatly exceeded my expectations. The ride quality and performance of the V6 are totally acceptable for what I need. I learned a lot from your video on the engine (hydraulic lifters and carbon build-up) and it does concern me, but the car is garaged (I live in Chicago) so hopefully it won't be a huge problem. The 60, 000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 100, 000 mile drive train warranty, might help mitigate the problem.

More reviews like this will catapult you straight to 1 million subscribers. This is what is surely missing in YouTube car reviews. We care about luxury, comfort, quietness, power, safety, features, sound systems and long term RELIABILITY. We don’t care about exhaust noise, steering feedback and other “sporty” nonsense.

[benjaminkett]

Man, this was an incredible review. Nobody dives deep into the internal mechanics that I've seen so far! Please keep up the good work and I look forward to more of your content!

[kwangnam]

This is what many of us were looking for! Not what the car appears to be the first 30K miles but longevity and long-term consequences of owning the vehicle. Keep it up and we'll keep watching! Just subscribed.

I purchased the 2023 Palisade in June of 2023. It's been in the shop three times. First time a code pop on the dash. Second time the vehicle turned itself off in traffic. Third time it wouldn't accelerate in traffic. It's been at dealership in Clarksville, TN for three weeks and it still has not been seen by mechanic. Purchased the vehicle to transport my disabled kids to doctors' appointments but now I just think it's dangerous to my family. If I could do it again I would have never purchased this suv.

Mr. Car Care Nut, I think you got something here. This is a niche, your ability to perform an unbiased technical review. Much deeper than Savagegeese’s attempt. Keep it up and in no time your channel will be the last step people go to before finally deciding to buy a new or pre-owned car. 👊🏼👍🏻

[studmuffin]

After watching several of your reviews recently I am beginning to see how I need to move on from the dozen or so other car reviewers that I have highly regarded. You Sir have earned position Number 1 in my car reviewer hit parade. Keep'em coming! Thanks!

[chargedx]

You have confirmed what I always thought about these SUVs. They can give you such interiors because they cut cost on mechanical. People love shiny things, and people generally don't know about engines, transmissions and their history.

[M.W.H.]

One of the best reviews out there. Please man, do the 2023 Pilot when possible.

[EG-]

This channel really provides professional reviews that really help people make good vehicles purchase decisions unlike those YouTube videos that only discuss the look of the car and take it for a spin, keep up the good work my friend, can’t wait for the next episode.

[theholtic]

Probably the best car reviewer I have seen. This is exactly what someone who does research on car wants before making the purchase.

[SolrakO]

Really solid car. A family member has a 2022 model and no issues in the 18 months of ownership.There only complaint is it drinks fuel but it's a boxy-shaped, heavy SUV with a big V6 engine, so to be expected! Yes the plastics on the rear of the seats are a cost cutting exercise but also by design. Small kids love to kick up the back of the seats so plastic is a wiser choice, harder wearing and easier to clean!

Just got myself a 2023 palisade calligraphy for my family and we love it. Drives great and Super comfortable. Took it on 2 trips already one trip was to Santa Cruz and was about a 800 mile trip (going & coming) and the second was to Salt Lake City and was about a 1600 mile trip (going & coming) and it was snowing in Utah and both trips were easy and smooth. Didn’t have any trouble with anything. I will make sure to come back when my car falls apart because this seems what everyone who drives a Toyota says about Hyundai. I myself like to think part of it is the way the owner takes care of their car but what do I know. Anyone who might be interested in this SUV I truly recommend it. It has space in all 3 rows. I’m not the tallest guy at 5’7 but being in the 3rd row I would say even at 5’10-5’11 you will have enough room in 3rd row to sit for even a longer drive. If you have any questions feel free too ask.
