RELATED Long-Term Test Wrap-Up: 2020 Hyundai Palisade Driving By Numbers: Canada’s 10 best-selling vehicles in 2020 Along with the usual collision avoidance systems come two pluses. While some will love the Blind View monitor, others may find it a distraction — at first, at least, as the side of the car whizzes by in insets in the instrument cluster. However, as you get used to it over time, it proves to be a valuable extension to the normal blind-spot monitor.
Daily comes in many forms and getting the cabin up to temperature on a frosty morning is often overlooked. Along with a tri-zone climate control system, the Calligraphy employs a secondary electric heater that’s used until the engine gets up to temperature. This add-on dramatically cuts the wait time for warm air — during our test, the system was blowing warm-ish air within a few kilometres without having the Palisade idle needlessly in the driveway first.
One persistent comment about the Palisade’s style was the low mounting position of the front headlights — many asked if this could put them in a potentially venerable position, and it’s a fair question. When compared to a Jeep Grand Cherokee, the top of the Palisade’s headlight sits in line with the bottom of the Grand Cherokee’s unit. This puts them in bumper range. Thankfully, the location does not hurt illumination — they’re bright and then some.
