Seems a lot more restrained than I was expecting. Although that front end reminds me a lot of the Nissan Kicks. 9 seats is pretty nice though. Some three-rows force you into 6 seat configurations now, so 9 is a welcome upgrade.

No 9 seats for USA/Canada. No swivel seats in 2nd row, no digital side mirrors. Road safety laws. Also no light brown interior either - now this one is no hyundai marketing.

But like the Palisade and telluride has only had one engine option since they came out and neither the 2.0 or 2.4 they all have NA V6 3.8s that don't seem to be of trouble. Started production in 2018 for MY 2020 and this will be the first full overhaul to the nameplate rumor of the 2.5 and hybrids. So might in the future put a bad motor in it but haven't yet.

I was just saying, the telluride and the palisade with the 3.8 (not 3.6 I forgot the displacement) have never been an issue. Looks like they’re going away from the V6 here though. Should be interesting.

Hyundai is weird. They go through a stage of screwing over the original owner at lower miles, get a bad reputation, then second owners get screwed, and finally they admit a problem. Then you have a class action lawsuit and either get reimbursed if you didn't tune it or mess with the engine, and get some money for repairs paid back, and some extended warranty. My veloster and bil's gt elantra has gone through this. I think he has a 15 year 150k mile warranty now on the engine after it was found the default tune would ignore misfires too much killing the engine for some, software update given, etc. Now his insurance is horrible from the thefts and mine oddly hasn't changed much.

Yeah insurance largely depends on ur location. Not every area in the US is a shithole like milwaukee where car theft among other crimes is a common occurrence.
View on Reddit #42430009

christobevii3@reddit

I sorta was hoping mine would get stolen since the payment until like next month is $3k plus insurance payout. Paint is failing on all the plastic pieces to dust and not a great car for a large city where everyone runs lights (2600lbs vs 7000lb truck going 45mph). I think his got flagged for high theft since "elantra" where the veloster turbo original sold in such low numbers they don't care. We have more theft when driver/keys are at car at gas stations or high end theft using can bus theft through fog lights. Nobody is going to steal a 130hp white elantra gt, america already hates wagons enough.

Blaze4G@reddit

It's always funny when I see people reply to reliability questions with their own personal experience that theirs are at 65k and no issues. I expect most of not all cars to last the warranty period. So their anecdotal experience means zero. Reliability is that 100k-200k region imo.

Turbo going at 17k is surprising. Haven’t seen that in the VN community at all. My VN is sitting at 65k with zero issues. Lot of track abuse. HPFP is under a recall though so I should probably take it in.

lostboyz@reddit

Not to get in the way of anything here, but those are two components that Hyundai doesn't make or get any say in how they're made. They're standard purchased commodities, unless they were damaged during assembly, you had the same chances of failure from any OEM who uses them.
View on Reddit #42379247

frank3000@reddit

OEMs have a LOT of involvement in their tier 1 suppliers, to the extent of sometimes funding the factories and assembly lines, designing the parts and revisions, shepherding the entire supply chain, etc. Sure it may say Denso on the box, but there are a lot of polo shirts with Toyota printed on them at every step behind the scenes. Hyundai would make calls like 'hey, lets accept these out-of-spec bearings, and maybe loosen the tolerance a bit, so we can all save a couple bucks'
View on Reddit #42381806

lostboyz@reddit

They absolutely have a ton of say, but not really on those, it would cost more for the supplier to make a non-standard version. They already sell variations of families of parts. What usually happens in fuel pumps is just undersizing it for the application because you copy and pasted a BOM without doing the homework

View on Reddit #42421150

lostboyz@reddit

Did you forget about the LS4?
View on Reddit #42379045

ZachtoseIntolerant@reddit

No, I didn’t. I intentionally omitted that. 1) Of all 30? 50?+ variants of the LS over the past 27 years, only one was transverse - the LS4. That one variant was in four different special high trim sedans for 5 model years. Compared to the regular LS in pretty It has significant design differences compared to every other LS so they could shoehorn it into FWD platforms. As a result, some common accessories and mods for the LS don’t fit the LS4. 2) In longitudinal form, the LS is very narrow and short due to the pushrod configuration. Depth doesn’t matter as much here. This means it can fit in a lot of the longitudinal car and truck platforms out there, often with room to spare. But in transverse form, depth becomes width, and suddenly your engine bay in your FWD platform might not be wide enough. 3) The LS4 “only” makes 303hp in stock form. That’s 12 more than the ‘26 Palisade. Somewhat of a moot point, since you’d probably be modifying that LS… with whatever limited selection of cams exists for it. 4) You’d have a lot more fab work to do an LS4 swap in an FWD car compared to the standard “LS swap” in an RWD car. You’d likely need custom CVs, engine/trans mounts, etc, etc. 5) You’re “stuck” with an FWD car at the end of all this. I personally prefer RWD or rear-biased AWD, over FWD. Some people love FWD, I’m not gonna knock that. But if someone tells me “you have to put an LS in a Palisade,” I’m not spending time and creating a headache for a 12 hp gain in an LS4. I’m grabbing a Sawzall, cutting a massive hole in that firewall, and putting a longitudinal engine in. I’d probably have cut up and welded 75% of a new floor by the time the engine, transmission, and diff are in.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. 2 of 3 Fords are still very much on the roads and sought after. Heck the escape has the boxy look that’s back in style that garbage Hyundai is cranking out. The fusions are still everywhere and excellent vehicles. The ugly duckling by today’s standards… the Taurus sold very well in its day. Maybe not the most attractive but that platform saved ford and many people had those in their families. And mine will outlive anything Hyundai is putting out nowadays. 20 years old and on the road. Won’t see that from Hyundai or Kia. And the Toyota… they can’t even build enough to satisfy demand. While the Hyundai tanks in value, at 2 years old my Toyota is worth just about what I paid.

Flex was ugly nto only on outside, but more importantly inside. I'm actually ok with Flex outside design. It's lack of options and fuel economy and hybrid tech and ugly dated interior design that killed Flex. Hyundai Palisade did it right from the beginning. Beatiful SUV inside out AND a much better options and tech. Ford is a crap brand to begin with, so there was never a chance anyway.

As long as the cars have even a slight upgrade and maintain the quality that's on par with the outgoing models, I think they will continue to do well. They did well with the 1st generation when no one knew about them. Now those models have loyal followings and have good reputation as being top contenders in their respective segment.

I see Hyundai is hopping on the Haptic Touch bandwagon which is a big negative for me. The rest of the interior looks great, it's lifted off Land Rover after all LOL. The exterior I feel mixed about. Overall shape and proportion etc look good. I think it would have been a knock out if they didn't use such weird headlight and taillight design. I like the grill design which is not the case on most current Hyundai\\Kia models. Overall a big improvement over the current Palisade though. The current generation doesn't do it for me. (ugly)

Lots of manufacturers are reversing haptic touch. Generally it sucks because you have to look down at what you're touching more closely than buttons and looks like crap after a bit because they get all scratched up and dirty. It's shiny black plastic.

One thing that strikes me about newer Hyundais is that they all look different and don’t have a definitive design language. Unless you care about the brand’s identity, which I guess typical Hyundai clientele don’t care about, it’s not a bad thing honestly, the entire Hyundai lineup doesn’t look like a copy-paste of each other.

Yep, me too. I like fresh designs for the next gen; sure it's a hit or miss. I think the brand design language argument is code word for cheap and saving money.

rsong965@reddit

yes, definitely the e class too. you'd have to break out the tape measure to or reallly know a lot about the different models to tell. And I'm sure they have a reason. I think an exec prob convinced everybody that they have to do the opposite of what BMW is doing. That it's classier to have a more unified design language. And I can kinda see the point but back in the day a compact was actually compact and the full size was clearly larger without a side by side comparison. I know it's different now due to safety regs and marketing. idk, must be hard designing cars. You think you have a good design then everybody shits on it for not looking like your brand.
View on Reddit #42470336

neok182@reddit

They sorta do but they don't update everything at the same time which makes it look all patchwork. Tucson got update to a new design which then the Kona followed in 2023. Sante Fe and Palisade both got different designs and Hyundai will wind up copying one of those for updated Tuscon and Kona in several years. Sonata gets updated first and then the Elantra a few years behind that so right so we'll probably get the updated Sonta matching Elantra in 25/26. On one hand it makes them look really unique but it's also annoying as a customer if you like certain designs and don't like others. My girlfriend is looking at getting a new car and she wants a small sedan. She can't stand the current Elantra but likes the previous one and the current Sonata but does not want to wait another year or two for a new car so she's currently looking at the Kia K4 GT instead.
View on Reddit #42404829

ImHereForTheBussy@reddit

They seem to be starting to make their designs in pairs. The new Kona and the new Sonata have a similar look. The new Palisade and the new Santa Fe are kind of similar, although the Palisade takes what the Santa Fe was doing and turns it up to 11. Then there's the Tucson and the Santa Cruz, and the Ioniq 5 and N Vision 74 (although nobody knows if the 74 will ever be produced... Hopefully it will be but not as a hydrogen hybrid). When they redesign the Elantra they'll probably fit it in with the Kona and Sonata with the light bar. It's a nice, simple looking design which is unique to them. That said, it might end up being easy to confuse the Elantra with the Sonata if they do that.

3 rows of 3 seats?! Wild to me that car companies managed to slowly convert SUVs into minivans, and are still able to talk fragile men into buying them

Crossovers have always been minivans of various size but without sliding doors. This is nothing new.

Dear Hyundai, you'll never be Land Rover.

Hyundai sold 76,000 vehicles in the US in November alone, while Land Rover has sold 15,000 vehicle all year. They definitely don't want to be Land Rover.

15k units annually is what they sale in Range Rovers alone here in the U.S. Your point still stands but Land Rover sales way more than 15k units annually.

I don’t think anyone wants to be Land Rover with their reliability concerns

For companies not making money on EVs, which is everyone, the big cars is where it's going to be at for the near to medium term. Margins on compact and standard sedans are going to be tiny and not worth it. 9x seats is cool. Gonna be interesting to see all the variations and competition in the larger SUV space.

I like the Land Rover looks. Not too busy like the Tucson or Kona. Has a very luxurious look to it. Boxy design is nice and done better than the Santa Fe.
