Pushing boundaries is what Hyundai is good at, and they’ve done it again with the 2020 Palisade, their largest ever SUV. Here’s a look at some of the best features you’ll love on the 2020 Hyundai Palisade.

Exterior Style

The Palisade is the perfect blend of comfort and performance. From its powerful posture to its inviting interior, the Palisade delivers luxury and capability. A sleek exterior design features a signature grille, LED headlights and taillights, and LED turn signal indicators. Completing the striking look are its contoured sides and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Interior Comfort

Inside the Palisade, you are cradled in the comfort of quilted Napa leather seats for up to eight passengers. Choose the seven-passenger configuration and get second-row captain’s chairs.

Heated and ventilated seats and a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel add luxurious comfort. The driver’s seat features 12-way power-adjustable control with memory. You can even extend the driver’s seat for added leg support.

A three-zone climate control system allows you to customize the temperature throughout the cabin. One-touch technology tilts the second-row seats for easy access to the third row. The power-folding third-row opens up additional storage, and the second-row seats fold flat with the push of a button.

Powerful Performance

Every Palisade is powered by the same motor. The 3.8-liter GDI V-6 engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain gets an impressive 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It also features steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

The multi-link independent rear suspension system can be equipped with a self-leveling system for enhanced ride quality. Opt for the HTRAC all-wheel-drive system and get six customizable drive modes.

Choose comfort for the smoothest ride. Eco is perfect for those long road trips. Snow, mud, sand, or smart modes let you match control to the terrain. Sport mode dials in your suspension and throttle for a more thrilling ride.

Technology

A 10.25-inch touch screen serves as your connection to all your smart devices. Apply CarPlay and Android Auto capability allow you to send and receive calls and texts, access music, and get navigation information hands-free.

Five USB ports and a wireless charging pad keep everyone’s devices powered up. A 360-degree surround-view monitor gives you a bird’s-eye view of your Palisade. The heads-up display projects pertinent information right onto the windshield, keeping your eyes where they belong, on the road.

Driver Assist Features

Smart cruise control with stop and go system uses advanced radar technology to keep your Palisade at a preset speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. It will bring you to a complete stop in traffic. When the way ahead clears, it will return you to your preset speed.

The forward collision avoidance system uses similar technology to alert you to a potential collision with vehicles or pedestrians. It will even apply the brakes should you fail to react. Blind-spot collision-avoidance alerts you to objects in your blind spots, and apply light braking to help you avoid a collision.

The canyon now functions as a popular scenic and historic hiking location. It has many different trails, but the most popular is the loop trail that goes down into the canyon. Along this trail, you can observe 25 of the ancient limestone cliff dwellings left by the Sinagua Indians while enjoying the beauty that nature has to offer.

It might be easy to forget about your tires, but they are a part of your car that probably experience the roughest treatment. Additionally, the condition of your car’s tires is vital for your safety on the road. Here are a few tips to consider for taking better care of your tires.

Check Tires for Wear and Tear

You should regularly check the tread depth of your tires to ensure they have enough traction to keep you safe on the road. In the U.S., new tires typically come with 10/32-inch or 11/32-inch tread depths. It’s recommended that you change your tires when they reach a 2/32-inch tread depth. To test the tread of your tires, use the penny test, which involves placing a penny, with Lincoln’s head facing downwards, between the ribs of your tire. If you can see Lincoln’s entire head, it’s time to change the tire.

The 2020 Hyundai Elantra is a practical, compact sedan that goes above and beyond when it comes to efficiency, quality, and safety. The following are just a few features of the 2020 Elantra that help take its high gas mileage and quality to the next level.

Intelligent Variable Transmission

Hyundai’s new intelligent variable transmission (IVT) is the number one feature that has made this little sedan a key competitor in the market. The IVT offers amazing efficiency while also giving this automatic transmission a manual feel with the ability to simulate gear shifts. The transmission modulates the pressure of its pulley based on the conditions of the road and the driver’s choices, which allows it to perform continuous shifts.

Its pulley system is perfected with a wide ratio, allowing it to operate on a broader ratio than most of its competitors. This combination is what allows the 2020 Elantra to operate with a greater fuel economy at higher gear ratios while still providing optimal performance in the lower ratios.

Another pro of the IVT is that it utilizes a chain belt rather than the commonly used push belt. The 2020 Elantra is the first compact car to go this route. With the chain belt, the Elantra’s fuel efficiency has increased by an additional 1.2% from the standard belt systems.

The new shift control strategy of the IVT helps create a smoother interaction between the driver’s inputs, the car’s behavior, and acceleration. Its amplified response allows it to act similarly to an automatic transmissions’ step shifts, giving the car an efficient, smooth ride.
