I think it looks great. VERY last gen Range Rover in the rear especially:

I'll admit it doesn't look bad, but a fair amount of the styling seems to come from GMC.

If this comes with the TTV6 from the Genesis vehicles as rumored, Genesis themselves are going to need a serious overhaul to their lineup. The interior alone looks a generation ahead of all the current Genesis products.

It does seem to borrow the silhouette of the Range Rover but it doesn't bother me. The lighting and grill are especially polarizing.

General vibe of the interior is off putting not sure why maybe the choice of ovals.

Fantastic job, IMO

Ok, so much to see here so I'll pick one.
Are the wheels to "busy" or a Pass.

What you all think?

The say copying is the sincerest form of flattery. Lol

Glad they didn't copy the Pontiac Aztech or other monstrosity from years past with a facelift. Haha

I like the vibe.
A lot going on but stylish in the presentation, IMO

I'm thinking about the ovals, I'll be back. 🤔

1000% "we have range rover at home" vibe to the max.

Can the headlights wrap around the sides more? I don't think they are pulled onto the sides enough......

Yes, some RR, but a fair amount of GMC in the front end.

That looks good. Good exterior refresh Hyundai. I don’t recall such a bold effort from the brand. Hopefully they keep the ancient 3.8l V6. Downsizing in engine size always sucks, so fingers crossed. And 3.8l doesn’t have a million recalls for lighting on fire . My brother and sister both have one. 👏

Overall I think this looks fantastic. We were very happy with the 2023 Calligraphy we put several thousand miles on this past summer. Given how much nicer the 2025 Santa Fe refresh is than the prior gen, I suspect this new Pallisade will be a home run.

What you all think?
I like them, they are an evolution of the current Calligraphy wheels, which look great in person:

I like the wheels. At least they aren’t bizarre triangles and all like Kia has been doing.

I think he thinks the metal trim in the rear evokes the GMC Envoy XUV....

Could you post a pic of the GMC front end you think this resembles?

They did a good job on the car.
So I'm just being picky and looking at the details.

Rims are ok, just wanted to see what y'all think.

I like how they didn't go bozo crazy with wall to wall screens on the dash. 😄

Triangles on a car is a mortal sin.
Possibly an unforgivable sin. Haha
