Overall, Ilike the design and eagerly waiting more info on the powertrain. But this may be trivial and unimportant to most but does anyone know if they have finally added power folding side mirrors to the model. It was a big “dropped the ball” thing on the previous model whereas they gave that option to its sister…

This looks like an Amazon Basics Range Rover and I mean that in the best way possible

It’s a Riv!

Hyundai’s designs are awesome. You suck.

At some point, a car getting longer, wider, taller, or heavier becomes a negative. Can’t see the car in front of you. Can’t park in your garage. Can’t fit in a standard (American size aka oversized) parking spot. Can’t get in without a step ladder.

I get that on sporty cars and such, but as far as I can see the roof doesn’t actually slope down significantly, it just appears to as the glass below the roofline gets smaller. It’s more obvious on the Soul but you see the roof actually seems to get thicker on top the further back you go.

Currently have a 2022 Genesis GV80... This Palisade may be my next car. Really want to go the hybrid route, and if it has V2L, that basically gives me everything I want. Already have a generator hookup in my house. My Ioniq can power my house for five days on a full charge. Wonder how long the hybrid battery can go...

Based on the leaks, it looks like it folds down in to a center console and back up for a bench. Anything that adds utility like this or the way Honda Pilot’s 2nd middle seat folds away and stores in the trunk is great!

The picture above does include the front “bench” seat! If you look at the Land Rover Defender (as well as other vehicles with this type of seat) the seat is normally folded down and used as an arm rest or cup holders. It only folds up and out of the way when you need someone to actually sit in that third seat.

Hyundai slowly but surely getting rid of all of the models that look kinda ugly and boring in their lineup.  

I don’t know how I feel about the lights wrapping around to the quarter panel and the amount of them (so you can blind people at all angles but these are probably drls), and the Rear pillars need to be Black, but overall looks good, upscale.

Not bad.

They need to bring this here with the front bench option intact. And then they need to ADVERTISE it. There are not a lot of options for a 9 seat vehicle, and those that exist are more money than one of these. It’s a partially untapped market. 

then address that fact in your article.  (notes from a reader)

I could get used to the side skirt accents, although I would personally rather have them be body colored. But when you add the rear pillar and roof rail accents, it looks more like a two-tone paint job and I have never been a big fan of those. The worst are high-end luxury cars, especially Maybachs and Rolls. I…

Cohesiveness is overrated IMO, but I do think that trim ties into the silver roof rails, bumper and side skirt accents, and it works with the overall design of the car and the lights. This one does seem to be the top-end Calligraphy model, so maybe on lesser trims it won’t be silver

If Hyundai had released any photos of the bench seat I would have included it, but they didn’t so I didn’t. The photos in this article are the only ones released so far

Doubling down on the Land Rover styling cues in the Santa Fe and I’m not mad about it. Bring this design language to the Santa Cruz!

What? No picture of the bench seat? Isn’t that what the entire article talked about? WTF!

That center console is gorgeous.
