This is from the New York auto show so yes it will have it. Also US Palisade has two headlamps as opposed to the 3 vertical headlamps (look nicer) that the Korean Palisades have

 

One thing that I didn't see in this video was that there is a leg rest (think recliner) that comes out when the passenger seat is reclined. I am sure I saw that in one of the dozens of videos I've seen.

 

That's exactly what i was looking for as indicated in the post. This video didn't have it. The short clip i added as first link has it. Did you mean that?

 

Pitt,

Sorry. I mis-read your post. Yes that is exactly what I saw too. Thank you for finding that !!

 

so. u think calligraphy this year will have front passenger (not driver) will have that thick thigh support thing and also LUMBAR tweak support ?

 

Asian Petrolhead does two reviews on a Korean version of the Calligraphy. One during the day and one at night. He only mentions the zero gravity for driver's side. Not sure you'll see it in the passenger side, which would be odd.

 

Did you see the 2nd video i linked in the original post? It was NY auto show video. It showed the 2 buttons which i think it's related to thigh extension and the other one is zero gravity.

Actually i remember seeing asian petrolhead guy doing another review showing thigh support extender on passenger. let me find that.

 

What sense does it make to have the zero gravity on the driver side and not passenger. One of the selling points of this car to my wife was that I thought the passenger side had the zero gravity.

And that was one of the major selling points to her

 

Matter of fact, 2022 didn't have lumbar support for passenger either. Go figure. So that's why im leaning towards purchasing a 2023. Now next question arises, why doesn't passenger have ergo motion. We should wait for 2024. lol.

 

I see the zero gravity button, but I am not convinced about the thigh extender. Love to be wrong.

 

All I know is that the trim options do not mention any zero gravity, ergo or thigh extender in the passenger seat on any trim. It only mention 8-way power passenger seat.

 

Yeah, I guess we'll see. I am also concerned about (off topic) how the grille now says glossy black+chrome for Calligraphy. That's not what we saw in NY, at least in my opinion. There was no black in that grille.

 

Here are the Dealer Price Sheets for all Palisade years:

 

Let me ask one more thing. I saw some 2023 calligraphy window stickers. It says HDA and not HDA II (HDA 2) like in the dealer price sheets you attached. Why is the sticker so half promising ? People are going crazy.

 

I guess we will find out more when people actually start getting them.

 

How to verify if it's HDA 2 ? by actually riding the car? Does anyone even know what the heck does HDA 2 covers? Hyundai does such a poor marketing distinguishing HDA 1 vs 2. I know auto lane change assist is one? What else? I heard navigation based cruise control and curve adaption. Im not even sure what all HDA 2 covers. Any idea about entire list of features?

 

Yep - I will.

It sounds great on paper, and maybe one day it will be ready for prime-time. For now, I like driving too much to worry about some of these things.

 

Could be. From what I understand it adds automatic lane changing capability (driver puts on a turn signal, it does the moving), and it also tries to learn how the driver drives and uses that info for the adaptive CC.

One thing I really dislike about adaptive CC is how it responds to people on 422 cutting you off!

 

This website Known 2023 Palisade Vehicles In Transit shows few calligraphys with inventory status as DS (Dealer Stock). Does that mean it's on Dealer's lots already? If yes, i could call some of them and ask for the relaxation seat question.

 

From my experience so far, no. I don't see any calligraphies on any dealer lots as of yet. Believe me, I am watching really closely!

The earliest port delivery I have found was one to Portland Oregon, which arrived on 7/1 via the Grand Champion. Its final destination is Ohio, eta 8/18.

Trying to connect other cars to their port/boat arrived on.

I think my Calligraphy is on the Glovis Spirit which is being unloaded in Philly as we speak, or the Glovis Star which is scheduled to arrive in Philly Wednesday night...

Oh so this 7/20 is when we can expect your dealership to have calligraphy on the lot? Did i read it right ?

 

Also, I believe DS stands for "Delivery Scheduled"

 

I am convinced that the first 3 digits in the bar code on a window sticker are irrelevant. here's an example

187 A 1923QGLOVI

The 192 is July 11th, which for this particular palisade was the day after it arrived at port (according to Philadelphia's records - two ships arrived there with Glovis in the name - one was Glovis Corona (6/29-6/30) and Glovis Crown (7/9-7/10) so my best guess is it was the Crown that dropped this XRT off). I am noticing that no window stickers seem to be available for these cars (either on dealer websites or Vin Maniacs) until after they arrive at port.

The difference between 187 and 192 is 5 days. I have no idea what 187 could mean. Certainly traveled on the water longer than 5 days.

 

I think this might help you out (see1st post) for barcode explanations

Track your ordered vehicle

 

Right now, I am looking for 2 things on mine. For status to change from AA to PA, and for my Window Sticker to be available.

 

I disagree with Gene’s conclusions. Unlike his examples, this year I’ve seen where the first set of 3 numbers actually come AFTER the second set. Something just doesn’t quite add up. There’s no way these cars are in the water for 5 days. Just doesn’t make sense.

 

This video certainly seems to show a thigh extender on the passenger seat... Not a US model, but still

 

Can't determine things by the Korean model as they always have options that we don't get.

 

I agree, though I think most of the differences are due in part to regulations. Could be wrong. Time will tell.

 

With current gas prices who in their right mind still wants to buy a v6 gas guzzler instead of a hybrid? Palisade is so dead

 

Not true. Yes gas is high, but I average 27 mpg in my Palisades Calligraphy.

 

I have the 2022 Calligraphy so does that mean I have it? 😂 still so much to get used to on this car, but I love it!

 

no. im inquiring about 2023 just like the post title says.

 

I average between 25-26 mpg on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle of this size. Gas prices are what they are what are. The Palisade can run E-15 which can usually be found for under $4 a gallon. On highway I've seen maybe a .25 to maybe .5 mpg drop in fuel economy. Well worth the savings.

 

Going off on a tangent here. But does anyone remember E-85? Our 2011 Silverado was pushed as a Flex Fuel vehicle that could use E-85 as well as E-15.

And while visiting the Missouri State Fair back in 2012 I found our that what they didn't tell you was that as they add more ethanol to the mix the less power you get from the engine. Specifically if you used E-85 you would only get 78% of the MPGs that E-15 would produce. So unless you got E-85 for 78% of the price of E-15 you were losing money with every tank. Needless to say my Silverado never saw a drop of E-85. Heck I'm not even sure you can find E-85 any more, at least in Missouri.

I could go off on another tangent and preach about how Ethanol is more of a menace to the environment than regular gas but I'll spare you all that diatribe.

Ethanol is all about subsidizing the farmers, no benefits from it at all.

 

Found the answer to front passenger relaxation seat on calligraphy. Its shown live on Hyundai website demo today.

I also just found out that the thigh support is not available in the US. Korea only.

 

Holy shit. Why? Why are the buttons present there in the US model as per my screenshot linked above ?
