Palisade comes in one highly specified model. The Calligraphy.

Performance comes from a 2.5-litre petrol hybrid engine paired with a six-speed transmission. For a large SUV, it feels surprisingly smooth and economical, especially around town — which is where most of my driving seems to happen these days.

The all-wheel drive system also adds a layer of reassurance in wet or slippery conditions, something I definitely value more now that I’ve got precious cargo on board.

For a large SUV, and it is large, it doesn’t feel that big when driving it. That comes from how quiet and smooth the hybrid engine is and how well it responds to driver inputs.

Tight  suburban car parks aren’t an issue, and the surround view monitor makes reversing into carparks so easy.

One thing I haven’t mentioned is the audio quality. While a 14-speaker BOSE sound system might be slightly over the top for nursery rhymes, I have to admit it does make those baby playlists sound beautifully soothing on longer drives.

Pricing for the Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy is from around $90,000 dollars plus the usual costs. That’s a lot, but you get a lot for your money.

Overall, the Palisade is a safe, comfortable and pleasant vehicle to drove. It definitely gets the mum and bub tick of approval.

The post Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid Baby Duties week three appeared first on Motoring Minute.

It comes in one beautifully finished luxury model, the Calligraphy, and my first impressions were incredibly positive.

As a new mum, comfort suddenly isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s essential. The front seats are supportive and seriously comfortable, with both heating and ventilation (which feels like a small miracle after sleepless nights).

I’ve also really come to appreciate the little things.

Automatic headlights and wipers mean one less thing for my tired brain to think about.

The digital rear-view mirror is genius — even if the boot is completely packed with pram, nappy bag and everything else that seems to travel with a baby, I can still clearly see what’s behind me.

One feature I genuinely love is the full-size alloy spare wheel. Getting a flat tyre is stressful enough without also trying to figure out where to put a bulky damaged wheel when your boot is already full of baby gear. It’s practical details like this that really matter.

Another clever addition is the rear camera cleaning system, so you’re never reversing blind because of dirt on the lens — especially helpful during messy winter weather.

From a new mum’s perspective, the Palisade feels safe, practical, and just that little bit luxurious — which makes everyday outings feel a whole lot easier.

The post Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Baby Duties week two – Safety appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The Palisade is available in one beautifully appointed model, the Calligraphy. You can choose between seven or eight seats, and we tested the seven-seat version with mid-row captain’s chairs.

There’s one petrol hybrid engine option, and it strikes a lovely balance between being powerful enough for family road trips while still remaining economical for everyday mum life.

Inside, the Palisade feels spacious thanks to its long wheelbase and large SUV design. The rear doors open wide, which makes installing a baby seat and putting a sleeping bub in the seat much easier — something every mum will appreciate.

Of course, there are ISOFIX and top tether points for added safety and peace of mind.

There are even pull-up window shades to help protect little ones from the harsh sun.

If you need to sit in the second row, the captain’s chairs mean you’re slightly further away from the other seat, but they’re roomy, comfortable, and supportive — ideal for longer trips.

The third row is surprisingly practical too.

With slide and recline functions, plus heated seats, it doesn’t feel like an afterthought.

It’s clearly designed for regular use, whether that’s older kids, grandparents, or carpooling.

When used as a four-seater, there’s plenty of boot space for prams, nappy bags and all the baby gear that somehow multiplies overnight.

If you’re using all seven or eight seats, luggage space does reduce, but it’s still better than many other large SUVs.

Around town, it can feel big in tight car parks. Otherwise, it’s smooth, quiet, and easy to drive, which is exactly what you want when you’ve finally got a sleeping baby in the back.

The post Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid – baby duties week 1 appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This large SUV has been a favourite over the years. However, the new, bigger and better Palisade has just been released.

It comes with a longer wheelbase, longer body and more interior space.

Thankfully it also retains pleasant styling and looks smaller than it actually is.

Launching in a single Calligraphy Hybrid model, the new Palisade comes with eight seats. There is the option for seven seats with middle row captains’ chairs.

The new turbo hybrid electric petrol engine provides more power and torque than either of the previous petrol or diesel engines. It also has better fuel economy. It comes with a six speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive capability.

Hyundai has also taken the opportunity to tune the suspension for Australian conditions.

Being a hybrid there are some clever features like the vehicle 2 load capacity. This allows user to charge devices and use power appliances as well as use the infotainment and climate control air conditioning when the engine is off.

Pricing for the Hyundai Palisade is from a bit under $90,000 dollars plus the usual costs. Given the size and level of luxury, that’s excellent value for money.

Ill be driving the Palisade in the coming weeks for a better look at how good it is as a new mums car so stay tuned.

There is a choice of two engines, a 3.5 litre V6 petrol or a 2.2 litre turbo diesel. Both have an eight-speed automatic transmission. The petrol is front wheel drive and the diesel comes with All Wheel Drive.

For a large SUV, at almost 5 metres in length, its quite stylish and looks smaller than it is.

Based on the same platform as the Kia Carnival and Hyundai Staria, it has plenty of room inside for up to eight people. Buyers can choose  a seven-seat option with middle row captain’s chairs.

Front seats are spacious and luxurious. The layout for the driver is well thought out and little features like the push button transmission and in dash indicator camera add to the ambience.

The middle row seats have plenty of room and the third row isn’t too bad for early teens.

One thing I liked is the ability to fold the seats flat for a huge cargo area if needed.

The Palisade is ideal for daily family duties as well as touring on much longer family holidays. Its smooth and easy to drive. You feel cocooned inside and its quiet.

I prefer the 2.2 litre diesel engine choice as it has enough performance for me and excellent economy.

The Hyundai Palisade is priced from  around $67,000 through to a bit under $81,000 plus the usual costs.
