Why the 2024 Palisade is Your Next Family Road Trip Buddy!

I recently had the opportunity to test drive Hyundai's midsize SUV model, the PALISADE.

This model has dominated the domestic midsize SUV market since its initial launch, thanks to its spacious interior and impressive value.

It has consistently maintained its position as a leader in this segment.

Today, I will share comprehensive information on the 2024 PALISADE for our subscribers who are considering purchasing one.

I will cover recent delivery wait times, sales figures, and recommend trims as well.

As of July, 3,264 units of the PALISADE have sold, placing it 13th in the domestic car segment.

The cumulative sales from January to July reached 26,358 units, indicating that surpassing 40,000 units for the year appears likely.

In addition to the PALISADE, the domestic midsize SUV market includes models like the Genesis GV80 and Kia Mohave.

However, since both models target different customer segments, it’s hard to consider them direct competitors.

Nevertheless, as the midsize SUV market becomes increasingly upscale, brands like Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Volvo are planning to launch new models, which raises concerns about a potential decline in PALISADE sales.

Personally, I’m curious to see how impactful the upcoming facelifted versions of the BMW X5 and X6 will be.

The estimated delivery time for the 2024 PALISADE is about 3 to 4 weeks for both gasoline and diesel engines.

There is a considerable amount of stock available in the market, so if you choose popular options and trims, you might be able to get an immediate delivery.

However, if you opt for the Lifestyle or VIP packages, be aware that the delivery period may be longer.

Recently launched Hyundai vehicles have introduced straight-line daytime running lights (DRLs), establishing a strong design identity for the brand.

The new Grandeur, Kona, and Sonata all feature these DRLs, contributing to their futuristic appeal and popularity.

However, the PALISADE facelift has taken a different direction, with subtle changes that may not be immediately noticeable unless the previous model is placed alongside it.

While it continues to show stable sales, I find the lack of significant design changes for the PALISADE somewhat disappointing, given my preference for its previous design.

Given the current situation, some question whether the model can maintain its popularity for over three years until a full redesign.

Customer satisfaction with the existing design has been relatively high, but like other new Hyundai models, I can’t help but wonder how much better it could have been with a more forward-looking facelift.

On the bright side, the minimal design changes mean that there has been little to no price increase with this model year change.

This advantage allows customers to purchase the new model at a relatively lower price compared to other models that have seen substantial price hikes with their new trims.

In the second half of this year, Hyundai's Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, both popular midsize SUVs, plan to launch new models at prices that will be close to the PALISADE.

This could create a situation where midsize SUVs threaten the PALISADE, potentially leading to a perception of better value for the PALISADE.

Ultimately, the PALISADE offers affordability and a delivery time of 3 to 4 weeks, making it an attractive option for families looking for a new vehicle for travel.

Let’s take a closer look at the main advantages of the 2024 PALISADE.

The first advantage is that it provides a stable driving experience for a midsize SUV.

With the launch of new models like the Santa Fe and Sorento drawing attention, the likelihood of minor defects appearing after their official release is high, as is common with new cars.

However, the PALISADE has continuously improved since its launch to prevent defects, making it a more stable choice compared to dramatically redesigned models.

While there was an issue with oil pump failures in the U.S., this problem wasn't exclusive to the PALISADE, and it has not been mentioned in recent recalls.

Since the facelift brought few changes, it may actually be a more reliable choice until the next full redesign.

The second advantage is the diversification of options with the introduction of the LeBlanc and Black Edition trims.

In addition to the existing Exclusive, Prestige, and Calligraphy trims, the new LeBlanc and Black Edition trims have been added.

The model I test drove was the Calligraphy, which previously held the top trim position, but now shares that spot with the newly launched Black Edition.

Both trims are priced the same, allowing customers to choose based on their preferences.

Additionally, the LeBlanc trim, which offers great value for female owners, has been added to the Grandeur lineup.

The LeBlanc trim features a bright interior design, appealing to female customers, which has proven popular in the Grandeur and aims to attract the same interest in the PALISADE.

However, while the Grandeur has a high sales volume and many female owners, it remains to be seen whether the PALISADE, as a larger midsize SUV, will see a similar increase in sales.

Since the announcement of its launch, the PALISADE has successfully generated buzz.

The PALISADE can be purchased at prices ranging from about $30,000 to $50,000, depending on the trim.

However, the initial cost of nearly $50,000 can be a significant burden for those who have not saved enough money.

For those individuals, KS Auto Plan offers long-term rentals and leases that allow you to use a vehicle without the burden of upfront costs.
