Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD

How it looks when you see on the street: It’s a big, sparkly chrome grille reinforces the message: this not the average Hyundai when it comes as a Calligraphy, knocking on luxury doors.

How it makes you feel when you get in: A new big, bodacious SUV has arrived to compete for the full size fancy mantle — an unexpected base hit from Hyundai.

How it drives: A little loose, a little wide, but plenty capable for easy cruising.

Space for people and things: All the space and SUV owner desires and seats, too. We drove six-full size adults who were impressed with the interior comfort and package. Lots of room for hauling all the family gear.

Best Features: The rear seat entertainment came with “Baby Shark” on demand. It has 7 usb ports, and impressive cameras to navigate all that space around the car.

What makes it stand out: It’s new and shiny for the fullsize category where there’s not as many options as the small SUV category.

What should you compare it to: Toyota Highlander, Chevy Tahoe,

How much does it cost: Our loaded vehicle cost $47750, but it starts at $33,700.
