Great smaller family car
By Yepitsme0 on 2/22/2026 8:20:15 PM
Our Palisade was a great family vehicle. We really appreciated the safety features and the amount of technology it offered. The only reason we moved on was because our family outgrew it. With three kids in car seats and our oldest being tall, space became tight, especially on family trips. Over time, it simply no longer met our needs. We ultimately decided to upgrade to an extended SUV for the full truck space, 3rd row leg space (fitting adults) and added luxury. - 5.0
Highly Recommend
By Gp49 on 1/26/2026 7:42:00 PM
We bought the SUV new after reviewing and comparing it to several SUV's and had received positive reviews. We have had it about 1-1/2 years and pleased with its overall performance. The vehicle handles great and has many safety features. For a larger SUV it has decent gas mileage. I Love the look and absolutely love the beautiful interior style. It has many comfort features, including a lower lumbar massage after driving for 30 minutes. It alerts you if you exceed 80 mph by giving a gently squeeze in the drivers seat. The roof mounted rearview mirror provides an expansive view of traffic in all lanes. The parking assist is great as well as the 360 degree camera. Most importantly, I feel very safe driving in this vehicle and intend to keep it for many years. My only criticism is that I wish the side view mirrors would fold in. - 5.0
Love love love my new car
