My family has just done the same comparison after the last few weeks and we chose the Mazda. The reasons were a) both my wife and I found the Mazda far more luxurious than the Hyundai b) our 2 kids loved the captains chairs in the Mazda. The perception of luxury is a personal choice so others may disagree but the leather and soft touch materials on the steering wheel, doors and console really lifted the Mazda vs the Palisade. Tom is spot in that the captains chairs are a pain to move back and forward but for us, we will spend 90%-95% of the time as a family of 4 in the car and other 5% couriering kids friends and family to weekend sporting events etc Because of this the captains seats were more about the luxury set-up and feel vs the Palisade. From a driving perspective the Mazda was brilliant. No doubt it will be thirsty but the driving is outstanding. I actually really like the Palisade and the decision was a close one for our family. The Palisade is definitely ahead in terms of the tech - no question. Also interior space is definitely a win for the Hyundai. Finally the option of diesel will be a big swayer for some. On the downside for us is the Palisade is big. Interesting that the Mazda is longer but in no way does it feel anywhere near as big as the Palisade. For my wife who is only 5'5 she felt like she was climbing into and sitting in a truck. Finally there have been a number of comments about the CX-9's lack of 3 row air vents. We actually did a test where may son sat in the 3rd row for a test drive and by adjusting the airflow at the 2nd row the 3rd row was able to receive the air conditioning. Obviously not ideal but it did help to lessen the potential issue. When we first starting looking at SUVs (we tested the Kluger, Kia Sorrento, Mazda CX-9 & Hyundai Palisade) I was told it will be a personal choice. I kept thinking there has to a "best" option. A couple of months later and I 100% believe it is the one that suits you or / and your family the best.
I also like the cx 9 more because I saw both on person and I noticed that the cx 9 is more bigger and more luxury and more reliable that's why I like the cx 9 more
I took the Palisade Highlander. It's just bigger if you have a family of 6. The Mazda is realy a 5 seater if you are ever going on a road trip as a family. I prefer the Hyundai's interior, but that is personal preference. It's returning 8.4L/100kms on average over 3,000kms so far. Stereo is really clear and strong. A highlight. The safety tech works fairly seamlessly, so another good thing. Really happy with it.
I previously had a 2017 Mazda CX9 and we just traded it for a 2021 Hyundai Palisade. We found the interior space of the CX9 to be a lot less than the Hyunda Palisade. The Tech of the Palisade is also top of its class right now. They are both great options, but right now the Palisade gets the win for me.
got recalls for hyundai and kia engine.... which got me dissapointed.... supposed if it wasnt cos of engine ignited fire issues.... i would have been deciding for my next car brand.

I live in the U.S., and I previously owned a 2019 Mazda CX-9, Grand Touring model, which looks similar to this CX-9 that was reviewed, with the exception that mine had the full bench for the 2nd row. In June, 2021, I traded in the CX-9 and purchased the Hyundai Palisade Limited FWD, which is similar to the Highlander with the exceptions that mine has the gas engine, diesel isn’t available in the U.S., and the Limited as a few more options like digital dash and powered folding 2nd and 3rd row seats. I actually loved the CX-9, it has great handling and it’s fun to drive. Fortunately, due to the increasing demand and prices for used vehicles, I was able to take advantage of the situation and get a very nice trade in value for my CX-9, which allowed me to get the larger Palisade. After driving the Palisade for the past two months, I truly prefer it over the CX-9. On the highway the Palisade does much better on the gas mileage, even though it’s bigger. Of course, there’s far more room in the Palisade and the third row is actually useable. Being a music lover, I truly prefer the more realistic sound of the Harmon Kardon stereo than I do the Bose. The rear vent setup in the Palisade is also much better, being in the roof, and the vehicle cools quicker than the CX-9. Lastly, I replaced the stock tires, which were Hankook’s, and purchased Michelin CrossClimate2’s, and the handling is wonderful. Heavy rain and occasional snow won’t be a problem with this rubber on the road. Like I said, both vehicles are great and will serve you well but if space is an issue, definitely get the Palisade, you’ll be happy. You don’t have to use the third row but if you ever need it, it’s a decent place to sit.
Excellent review thank you! Sadly in Australia we don't get the Harmon Karon stereo, our only option is the absolutely rubbish Infinity. As a musician, and a Mum, it's the one thing really holding me back from buying the Palisade. We're upgrading from a GT CX5 with a premium Bose stereo and the sound difference is massive. If we had either the Bose or the Harmon Karon stereo in the Palisade here in Australia, I'd sign on the dotted line and hand over my $80K for the 2022 Palisade Highlander immediately.
For an American (like me) it's interesting to see an Australian perspective on these crossovers, each of which is typically classified as a "midsize" SUV by American standards. Some thoughts. The US spec CX-9 is nearly identical to the Australian version. Same engine and drivetrain. Almost all of the same features. Though I don't have exact figures on sales in Australia my impression is that the Mazda brand is considerably more popular there than here in the US. That appears to be especially the case for the CX-9. In fact, the CX-9 has been the worst selling mainstream midsize SUV (19th out of 19) in the US ever since the current generation was introduced in 2017. In 2020 it was even outsold by eight "luxury" SUVs. The good news, such as it is, is that 2020 sales of the CX-9 in the US were basically flat at slightly over 27,000 units but that did nothing to overcome its dismal pattern of declining sales ever since its introduction. The US version of the Palisade is a different story, altogether. No diesel version offered in North America. The sole engine and drivetrain option is a 3.8L naturally aspirated V6 petrol with an 8 speed conventional AT. (That's not unusual. In the wake of VW's "dieselgate" the limited appeal of diesel engines in the US for passenger cars disappeared altogether. That killed not only VW's diesels but that of other brands as well.) Furthermore, the V6 running the Atkinson cycle is offered in both FWD and AWD versions, a choice apparently not available in Australia. Unlike the CX-9, the Palisade and its closely related KIA cousin the Telluride (built and available only in North America) have enjoyed huge success in North America. In 2020 Palisade sales were three times (!) those of the CX-9 in the US. The combination of Palisade and Telluride sales in 2020 (157,000 units), was nearly 6 times that of the CX-9. (The combined sales of the Korean twins would have been even greater if not for the result of COVID-19 in terms of production delays of the Telluride in the US.) The basis for the disparity in sales isn't difficult to explain. Americans, perhaps more than Australians, value interior space in midsize 3 row SUVs. On that score the CX-9 sits at the bottom of the category while the Palisade (ironically slightly shorter than the CX-9) is near the top. The CX-9 provides a total of 135.1 cubic ft of passenger volume; the Palisade offers 155.3 cf. The cargo space in the CX-9 is 14.4, 38.2, and 71.2 cubic ft behind the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st rows respectively. The Palisade counters with 18, 45.8, and 86.4 cubic ft. In fact the total cargo space of the CX-9 is not only small considering the oeverall length of the vehicle; it's less than a Honda CR-V! Like this video review, American automotive journalists have long praised the driving "feel" and handling characteristics of the CX-9. But reviewers have largely ignored or minimized the incredibly inefficient packaging of the Mazda. In the US at least, most consumers haven't made that mistake.
US authority forces manufacturers to reveal their true luggage space unlike lazy oz regulator just quotes manufacturer claimed luggage space. Cx9 810L vs Palisade 700L, I went to test both cars with third row in place and third row folding down, I feel Palisade is bigger than CX9 in both configuration. Shame on the so-called 810L they must have included their wheel arch cup holder lot as luggage space.
The CX-9 is perfect if you treat it like a 4-5 seat SUV and only need the 3rd row for occasional use. I have a family of 3 and it suites our lifestyle perfectly. It’s rewarding to drive and doesn’t feel like a modified minivan. I applaud Mazda remain true to their ethos.
@@NeedSpeedRC Remaining "true to their ethos" isn't a successful strategy when the marketplace doesn't support it through purchases and that's the case for the CX-9 at least in North America where an SUV the size of the CX-9 is expected to have more interior room than a compact crossover.
@@NeedSpeedRC I get what you mean. Most families of 4 don't need 7 seater but want the space. In that regards, congratulations you found the car suits your needs. I often need to carry one little one in the third row and demand some real luggage space. Unfortunately most of the SUVs fail on that.
To me practicality is more important, this is the whole point of getting a family suv, love the captain chair and the easy access to 3rd row. Great review.
Very good review and well balanced. I drove both of these vehicles muliple times, as well as most of the other brands, then checked the user forums. Almost all 3 row SUVs have them. You will learn a great deal from the people that actually own these SUVs. For me, I put a premium on driving dynamics and reliability over a little more space, since I didn't appreciate the minivan feel of some of the 3 row SUVs. Here, I'm sure everyone else will have different priorities which is why there are so many different brands. I always discount comments about the exterior appearance, since looks are subjective. Its the the old "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing. For me I like the looks of the CX9. I also like the looks of the Corvette, all model years are beautiful to me and I hope for the return of tail fins, of course I can dream, right?
Hyundai Palisade solved one particular problem I haven't been able to find solution in any of the previous offering in Australian market other than Hiace van Kia Carnival or bigger. Some useful space behind third row just enough for a family weekend away, even with only half of the third row used for seat. We are not talking about tents and bikes, just a 26inch suitcase with a few duffle bags, some kids toys. With the smaller portion of third row folded down, Palisade offers that ideal luggage space but not the CX9 or Santa Fe or Kluger.
The cx9 is basically in its last year compared to the newly debuted Palisade. I would choose the Hyundai if I were to make a decision today. However! The redesigned cx9 will be amazing and can’t wait for its debut as it will hands down perform and look great 👍🏼
Great honest review, I feel like Hyundai haven't given Australian's their best Palisade!! Hyundai do not give us the full digital speedo display or black nappa leather interior's available in other countries, yet expect us to pay a whopping premium compared to what these countries pay. It doesn't even tow as much as the new Santa fe. The Mazda is 5 yrs old and has improved to the point where it is now. This make me think " it drives better but is more expensive to run and will probably be replaced by new generation within 2 to 5yrs , killing resale value " With the above thoughts I will go with the Palisade, mainly because I can't see another generation coming within the next 5yrs. If they were both entering the market at the same time I'd go the CX9.
I like the Palisade... BUT you’re correct Hyundai haven’t given us their best car... and in forums in the 🇺🇸 there also seems to be an element of imperfection in the palisade. The new Nissan Pathfinder will be interesting, as they’re ditching the CVT and going for a conventional auto And Toyota is yet to give us the new kluger I’d also be interested to see if they use this chassis for Genesis and create a GV90
@@factsmatter6980 not sure what your point is... context also matters... which model year? You cannot compare an old korean car to what they are producing now. Cause the recent Hyundai Santafe and i30s are some of the best rated cars for safety.
Excellent review! My choice would be the Palisade, but I can see advantages of both so take your pick. It's a win-win choice. Trivial suggestions for the excellent video quality: For the outdoor moving shots I would use an ND filter to reduce the video jitter. caused by the fast shutter. Small point, I know. Keep on doing what you are doing. :)
What a great review.! So hard to pick a winner there. But here’s the the thing, I reckon the Koreans are “out Japanesing “ the Japanese. In short, I think the Koreans are now making better and more reliable cars than the Japanese. And as a rusted on Toyota fan, that’s a hard thing to say.
You would be incorrect. Consumer reports now rates Mazda as the most reliable car brand for 2021. It's the only automaker in many years that has taken Toyota and Lexus off the first and second labeling of Consumer reports.. Hyundai was ranked number 10 and the Kia numbered 19. Mazdas are also exclusively made in Japan which makes them very reliable cars. Nobody builds cars like the Japanese in terms of reliability. I'm a Lexus owner with over 300,000 miles on the engine and a transmission that has never been rebuilt. A completly trouble free car. I also own a Mazda CX-9 2019 for the last 2 years. No problems and it's been a pleasure to drive.
It's nice to see a side-by-side comparison of the CX9 and the Palisade. I have 10 year-old CX9 that looks and drives like it's brand new. I have yet to see a10 year-old Hyundai that doesn't look like it's worn out. It's been a great car and I'll get another one "when the time comes."
Bibin MS: I guess the big test will be to see how they're holding up 5 and 6 years down the road.I would buy a Palisade today if I knew it was the same quality as my Cx 9.I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@@johnrichards3666 have driven my mate's 2016 santafe... given it's not 10 years old... but it still looks and drives pretty decently. Mazda's are great cars... but the RECENT (7 - 8 years) Hyundais are no lemons.
Don't know about Australia, But the palisade is much more expensive than the CX-9 in NZ. For the price difference, the Mazda definitely wins imo. $100k for the palisade base spec, while top spec cx-9 is just bit more than $72k
Great review, thankyou. I'm considering the Hyundai and the areas where you find it was better than the Mazda happen to be the areas that matter for me (practicality with baby seats in place, flexibility of load carrying, fuel economy on long hauls). So even though the Mazda won your comparison with it's particularly good ride/handling mix and that great looking interior, your review actually still confirmed my view that the Hyundai is probably the right choice for me and my family... unless we stretch to an older and higher km Audi Q7... hmm... choices choices...
I'm also considering the Q7 vs the Palisade. The complicated high-tech suspension system on the Q7 worries me when I'm out and about with the family. They might cost a lot too when they need repairs or replacement.
I had the worst experience having a Kia car. This was my first time I chose Kia because I liked the car that I was going to lease. The previous two cars that I drove were Toyota and they never ever gave me problems that usually an older car gives (one Problem on top of another). Imagine you trust the company, you get a brand new car thinking that “hey it’s a new car. I’m not going to have all the problems that old cars give" and then one day you wake up, your car is not starting, the next day brake lights don’t work, the following week another problem comes up.
Mazda 2023= wide high useless center consoles, front and rear. Short bottom cushion seats. No pano roof. Small boots. Even smaller windows. Undistinguished exterior lighting, limited interior ambient lighting. Odd interior color matching. I'm a Mazda fan, but Mazda doesn't care about non-Asian customers. Their words not mine.
Watching from the US. Options, on the Palisade, are different for us. (I just ordered a Limited in Bright White with a Beige interior.) I didn’t really look at the Mazda. I compared the Telluride and Durango, to the Palisade. Anyway, the black interior is super common here and I believe the dash is upgraded on US models. (Also, we can’t get the diesel motor, but AWD is standard. The back up cameras and sideview cameras are different in the US market too. On the US Palisade when you use your turn signal a sideview camera shows your blind spot on that side. It also has a top down view for hooking up a trailer and auto leveling rear axle.) Anyway, I enjoyed your review but the vehicles are just too different, even though they carry the same name.)
Yes, they are very similar. The underpinnings are exactly the same, like the engine and transmission. The only differences are really just cosmetic. Most people in the US are of the opinion that if you’re more interested in exterior appearances that you would get the Telluride, and if you prefer the more plush interior, you get the Palisade. If you didn’t know, in 1998 Hyundai bought Kia and is the parent company. Hyundai’s luxury brand is Genesis and if I could have afforded it, I would have been shopping for one of those! ha!
In north America it is hard to choose a Mazda CX9 over Palisade. It is so different. Cx9 is in the range of Mitsubishi Outlander etc. For lack of 3rd row space
I have the CX9 Azami, bought new and have just purchased the Palisade Highlander in top spec. You’d be made to buy the Mazda now. The refresh is hardly a refresh and the car is now extremely dated. In 4yrs it will be a dinosaur
I am considering the Palisade as a soft roader alternative to a Prado VX or Kakadu. Really focuses the question on what you need for what you do and what will you enjoy long term. For us, we like luxury but our Lexus is taking a pretty good beating from gear and people, not sure the Hyundai would hold up as well or be as durable as we need, it’s a case of you do you. I won’t get into the diesel for city trips debate but you’d hope buyers are aware of the need to take it for a regular good long runs to avoid DPF problems long term.... give that point to the petrol Mazda.
As a Hyundai fan and owner of a Santafe... I would say you cannot compare the off-road capabilities of a Prado to a Haundai SUV. It's simply not built for any amount of serious off-roading. If you tend to drive off-road regularly theres no beating a Prado.
Thanks for the good review. Palisade is pretty popular in korea because it's good value for money. But in Australia for me it looks bit expensive compare to korea price. So my pick is Kia Carnival !
This is an Australian channel, reviewing the two top of the line products side by side. We do not have the Limited Hyundai here. At the time this review was done, the 2021 Palisade came in either "Palisade" or "Hylander" variants, that's it. So Hylander being the top spec available here, was compared to the top spec Akari LE CX9. Useful information to have before suggesting the comparison was unfair.
@Tristan Han you have to understand that captain seats are more comfortable than bench seats. Like how it is in s-class and rolls Royce. Those are 4 seater sedans. But they cost 200k, whereas this Cx9 with captain seats costs 62k
We are huge Mazda fans, but the CX-9 is not available in our country (Thailand). But we have a CX-8. But I am very impressed by the Koreans. The new Kia Carnival unfortunately came a year too late. We probably had bought the Carnival instead the CX-8. Hyundai will probably introduce the Palisade in country and we probably will look at it. The only downside is the lack of a dealership net.
If I'm buying used I'll go cx9 as they can be bought in the 30s right now, brand new cx9 doesn't make sense as the Palisade is a brand new platform, although I thinks it's obnoxious and it will not age well, I'd wait for the new cx90, that is a work of art, and now has straight 6
The Palisade Highlander has Reverse AEB, its called Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance. I believe that is the same thing? I have the Highlander but believe its on both trims.
Yes I beleive you are correct. It's in the specs... but not sure if it wroks the same way... like what the Subaru's offer... small kids and pets crossing your reversing path.
There's one very big reason you would go with the Mazda and that is it's overall reliability over long periods of time it will just continue as with the Korean cars they're down in reliability in consumer reports. Mazdas are ranked in the top three most reliable cars. Of course it's Japanese..
Great review. Palisade wins for me with the fabulous practical seating and huge airy feeling. The Mazda is nice but feels claustrophobic inside for such a large car. Yes its suspension is better but the negatives of the interior packaging and drab darkness is offputting. I think kids in row 3 of the Mazda will get car sick easier due to the truncated glass area.
Interesting, about the CX-8 being a stretched CX-5. I didn't know that. Editing to point out that later in the video, you incorrectly claim that "due to packaging constraints, the V6 can only be had in front wheel drive." I'm from California, and that's just not true. Palisade came with both FWD and AWD with the petrol V6, in the USDM at least.
The Mazda CX8 is NOT a stretched Cx5. It's a shrunken CX9. The frame is CX9. Also drives like a CX9. Heavier feeling with slower reflexes and movements, than the cx5. Mazda is terrible at marketing. Truly lost. That's what happens when mazda top brass and engineers live and work in a Hiroshima bubble, still fearful of being atomic bombed.
👍. Good review. What’s the third row weight/load capacity? Do u happen to know what the third row crash zone is like? Ie if you get hit are the third row passengers safe?
For me i would choose the more reliable brand which is the Mazda CX-9, I've owned a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe which was a perfect ride for only about 6 years, after that i've endured many engine related problems with the car, had it sold earlier this year.
Are they worried about the Mazda 2.2L Diesel blowing up like it did a lot in the CX5? I like the outside of the CX9 (it proportionally looks better) but the inside practicality of the Palisade. We all know that a lot of people that buy these only have two kids which kind of makes them a bit overkill for our pokey little roads where every inch less helps. I can see why they buy them when you look at the boots in mid size SUVs. If only a manufacturer could build a SUV that is bigger then a mid size (4.5m long) and smaller then a CX9 (5.08m)....4.7m would be bang on. Not everyone wants 7 seats and a 5m long vehicle with more seats then needed.
Another great review. Out of curiosity (OCD?!) there's a blanked off spot on the centre console..In other markets it's the button (to make a completed area of 4 buttons) to switch the ON/OFF remote start. Why would Hyundai Australia remove this feature??
Hi Tom, as always great reviews, here in South Africa we don't get the Cx9 I love it and heard so much about it the driving dynamics, we only get the cx5, I read in car megazine we might be getting the pallaside though, looking forward to it, looks like a great product

Fortunately, due to the increasing demand and prices for used vehicles, I was able to take advantage of the situation and get a very nice trade in value for my CX-9, which allowed me to get the larger Palisade. After driving the Palisade for the past two months, I truly prefer it over the CX-9. On the highway the Palisade does much better on the gas mileage, even though it’s bigger. Of course, there’s far more room in the Palisade and the third row is actually useable. Being a music lover, I truly prefer the more realistic sound of the Harmon Kardon stereo than I do the Bose. The rear vent setup in the Palisade is also much better, being in the roof, and the vehicle cools quicker than the CX-9.
Lastly, I replaced the stock tires, which were Hankook’s, and purchased Michelin CrossClimate2’s, and the handling is wonderful. Heavy rain and occasional snow won’t be a problem with this rubber on the road.
Like I said, both vehicles are great and will serve you well but if space is an issue, definitely get the Palisade, you’ll be happy. You don’t have to use the third row but if you ever need it, it’s a decent place to sit.
Excellent review thank you! Sadly in Australia we don't get the Harmon Karon stereo, our only option is the absolutely rubbish Infinity. As a musician, and a Mum, it's the one thing really holding me back from buying the Palisade. We're upgrading from a GT CX5 with a premium Bose stereo and the sound difference is massive. If we had either the Bose or the Harmon Karon stereo in the Palisade here in Australia, I'd sign on the dotted line and hand over my $80K for the 2022 Palisade Highlander immediately.
For an American (like me) it's interesting to see an Australian perspective on these crossovers, each of which is typically classified as a "midsize" SUV by American standards. Some thoughts.
The US spec CX-9 is nearly identical to the Australian version. Same engine and drivetrain. Almost all of the same features. Though I don't have exact figures on sales in Australia my impression is that the Mazda brand is considerably more popular there than here in the US. That appears to be especially the case for the CX-9. In fact, the CX-9 has been the worst selling mainstream midsize SUV (19th out of 19) in the US ever since the current generation was introduced in 2017. In 2020 it was even outsold by eight "luxury" SUVs. The good news, such as it is, is that 2020 sales of the CX-9 in the US were basically flat at slightly over 27,000 units but that did nothing to overcome its dismal pattern of declining sales ever since its introduction.
The US version of the Palisade is a different story, altogether. No diesel version offered in North America. The sole engine and drivetrain option is a 3.8L naturally aspirated V6 petrol with an 8 speed conventional AT. (That's not unusual. In the wake of VW's "dieselgate" the limited appeal of diesel engines in the US for passenger cars disappeared altogether. That killed not only VW's diesels but that of other brands as well.) Furthermore, the V6 running the Atkinson cycle is offered in both FWD and AWD versions, a choice apparently not available in Australia.
Unlike the CX-9, the Palisade and its closely related KIA cousin the Telluride (built and available only in North America) have enjoyed huge success in North America. In 2020 Palisade sales were three times (!) those of the CX-9 in the US. The combination of Palisade and Telluride sales in 2020 (157,000 units), was nearly 6 times that of the CX-9. (The combined sales of the Korean twins would have been even greater if not for the result of COVID-19 in terms of production delays of the Telluride in the US.)
The basis for the disparity in sales isn't difficult to explain. Americans, perhaps more than Australians, value interior space in midsize 3 row SUVs. On that score the CX-9 sits at the bottom of the category while the Palisade (ironically slightly shorter than the CX-9) is near the top. The CX-9 provides a total of 135.1 cubic ft of passenger volume; the Palisade offers 155.3 cf. The cargo space in the CX-9 is 14.4, 38.2, and 71.2 cubic ft behind the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st rows respectively. The Palisade counters with 18, 45.8, and 86.4 cubic ft. In fact the total cargo space of the CX-9 is not only small considering the oeverall length of the vehicle; it's less than a Honda CR-V!
Like this video review, American automotive journalists have long praised the driving "feel" and handling characteristics of the CX-9. But reviewers have largely ignored or minimized the incredibly inefficient packaging of the Mazda. In the US at least, most consumers haven't made that mistake.
Great information, very interesting
US authority forces manufacturers to reveal their true luggage space unlike lazy oz regulator just quotes manufacturer claimed luggage space. Cx9 810L vs Palisade 700L, I went to test both cars with third row in place and third row folding down, I feel Palisade is bigger than CX9 in both configuration. Shame on the so-called 810L they must have included their wheel arch cup holder lot as luggage space.
The CX-9 is perfect if you treat it like a 4-5 seat SUV and only need the 3rd row for occasional use. I have a family of 3 and it suites our lifestyle perfectly. It’s rewarding to drive and doesn’t feel like a modified minivan. I applaud Mazda remain true to their ethos.
@@NeedSpeedRC Remaining "true to their ethos" isn't a successful strategy when the marketplace doesn't support it through purchases and that's the case for the CX-9 at least in North America where an SUV the size of the CX-9 is expected to have more interior room than a compact crossover.
@@NeedSpeedRC I get what you mean. Most families of 4 don't need 7 seater but want the space. In that regards, congratulations you found the car suits your needs. I often need to carry one little one in the third row and demand some real luggage space. Unfortunately most of the SUVs fail on that.
To me practicality is more important, this is the whole point of getting a family suv, love the captain chair and the easy access to 3rd row. Great review.
Very good review and well balanced. I drove both of these vehicles muliple times, as well as most of the other brands, then checked the user forums. Almost all 3 row SUVs have them. You will learn a great deal from the people that actually own these SUVs. For me, I put a premium on driving dynamics and reliability over a little more space, since I didn't appreciate the minivan feel of some of the 3 row SUVs. Here, I'm sure everyone else will have different priorities which is why there are so many different brands. I always discount comments about the exterior appearance, since looks are subjective. Its the the old "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing. For me I like the looks of the CX9. I also like the looks of the Corvette, all model years are beautiful to me and I hope for the return of tail fins, of course I can dream, right?
I am getting a 2023 Palisade in two weeks. I'm so excited.
Enjoy!
CX9 for sure
Hyundai Palisade solved one particular problem I haven't been able to find solution in any of the previous offering in Australian market other than Hiace van Kia Carnival or bigger. Some useful space behind third row just enough for a family weekend away, even with only half of the third row used for seat. We are not talking about tents and bikes, just a 26inch suitcase with a few duffle bags, some kids toys. With the smaller portion of third row folded down, Palisade offers that ideal luggage space but not the CX9 or Santa Fe or Kluger.
The cx9 is basically in its last year compared to the newly debuted Palisade. I would choose the Hyundai if I were to make a decision today. However! The redesigned cx9 will be amazing and can’t wait for its debut as it will hands down perform and look great 👍🏼
It would be great if they put the V6 diesel from F150 and Everest, into the new CX9.
I will take Palisade~
After a lot of research I preferred Mazda CX-9 for many reasons one of them is quality & practically (made in Japan)
Great honest review, I feel like Hyundai haven't given Australian's their best Palisade!! Hyundai do not give us the full digital speedo display or black nappa leather interior's available in other countries, yet expect us to pay a whopping premium compared to what these countries pay. It doesn't even tow as much as the new Santa fe.
The Mazda is 5 yrs old and has improved to the point where it is now. This make me think " it drives better but is more expensive to run and will probably be replaced by new generation within 2 to 5yrs , killing resale value "
With the above thoughts I will go with the Palisade, mainly because I can't see another generation coming within the next 5yrs. If they were both entering the market at the same time I'd go the CX9.
I like the Palisade... BUT you’re correct Hyundai haven’t given us their best car... and in forums in the 🇺🇸 there also seems to be an element of imperfection in the palisade.
The new Nissan Pathfinder will be interesting, as they’re ditching the CVT and going for a conventional auto
And Toyota is yet to give us the new kluger
I’d also be interested to see if they use this chassis for Genesis and create a GV90
Yup... pretty dissapointed about that. Was concidering a palisade till I saw the difference between the highlander and the caligraphy.
I bought this palisade 6 months ago. I am very satisfied.

Palisade! 😀 more room for the family ✌ and its unique look vs Mazda's all look alike approach CX5 CX9.. 😊😊
Excellent review! My choice would be the Palisade, but I can see advantages of both so take your pick. It's a win-win choice.
Trivial suggestions for the excellent video quality: For the outdoor moving shots I would use an ND filter to reduce the video jitter. caused by the fast shutter. Small point, I know. Keep on doing what you are doing. :)
What a great review.! So hard to pick a winner there. But here’s the the thing, I reckon the Koreans are “out Japanesing “ the Japanese. In short, I think the Koreans are now making better and more reliable cars than the Japanese. And as a rusted on Toyota fan, that’s a hard thing to say.
You would be incorrect. Consumer reports now rates Mazda as the most reliable car brand for 2021. It's the only automaker in many years that has taken Toyota and Lexus off the first and second labeling of Consumer reports..
Hyundai was ranked number 10 and the Kia numbered 19. Mazdas are also exclusively made in Japan which makes them very reliable cars. Nobody builds cars like the Japanese in terms of reliability. I'm a Lexus owner with over 300,000 miles on the engine and a transmission that has never been rebuilt. A completly trouble free car. I also own a Mazda CX-9 2019 for the last 2 years. No problems and it's been a pleasure to drive.

I do agree that the palisade is more practical,but the cx 9 is more luxurious and reliable
It's nice to see a side-by-side comparison of the CX9 and the Palisade. I have 10 year-old CX9 that looks and drives like it's brand new. I have yet to see a10 year-old Hyundai that doesn't look like it's worn out. It's been a great car and I'll get another one "when the time comes."
Low quality Hyundai
Bibin MS: I guess the big test will be to see how they're holding up 5 and 6 years down the road.I would buy a Palisade today if I knew it was the same quality as my Cx 9.I guess we'll have to wait and see.
@@bibinms4436 have you driven a hyundai recently?
@@johnrichards3666 have driven my mate's 2016 santafe... given it's not 10 years old... but it still looks and drives pretty decently. Mazda's are great cars... but the RECENT (7 - 8 years) Hyundais are no lemons.
Geek Labs: l can't disagree with that. It appears that Hyundai has really stepped up it's game. I want them to be as good as they look.
Don't know about Australia, But the palisade is much more expensive than the CX-9 in NZ. For the price difference, the Mazda definitely wins imo. $100k for the palisade base spec, while top spec cx-9 is just bit more than $72k
Great review, thankyou. I'm considering the Hyundai and the areas where you find it was better than the Mazda happen to be the areas that matter for me (practicality with baby seats in place, flexibility of load carrying, fuel economy on long hauls). So even though the Mazda won your comparison with it's particularly good ride/handling mix and that great looking interior, your review actually still confirmed my view that the Hyundai is probably the right choice for me and my family... unless we stretch to an older and higher km Audi Q7... hmm... choices choices...
I'm also considering the Q7 vs the Palisade. The complicated high-tech suspension system on the Q7 worries me when I'm out and about with the family. They might cost a lot too when they need repairs or replacement.
Fantastic comparison review Tom, very descriptive and unbias.. one of the best car review channels going around !
Great review. I go with diesel palisade
I had the worst experience having a Kia car. This was my first time I chose Kia because I liked the car that I was going to lease. The previous two cars that I drove were Toyota and they never ever gave me problems that usually an older car gives (one Problem on top of another). Imagine you trust the company, you get a brand new car thinking that “hey it’s a new car. I’m not going to have all the problems that old cars give" and then one day you wake up, your car is not starting, the next day brake lights don’t work, the following week another problem comes up.
@@frommorningnight146 palisade is hyundai
@What's Up? and JD Power rates Hyundai and Kia as better than Mazda. Mazda’s are great cars, but so are Hyundai’s and Kia’s.
Mazda is a classic..refined!.waaaay better quality
I bought the palisade.. Much better than good..
i can't wait to see how the cx 9's interior will be updated by mazda like what they did in the mazda 3 4th generation
It'll definitely be a game-changer! Although at-less they upgraded the software. It was ageing badly.
Mazda 2023= wide high useless center consoles, front and rear. Short bottom cushion seats. No pano roof. Small boots. Even smaller windows. Undistinguished exterior lighting, limited interior ambient lighting. Odd interior color matching. I'm a Mazda fan, but Mazda doesn't care about non-Asian customers. Their words not mine.
@@dominickwilliams3504 sad to hear that.. but mazda seems to fit us perferctly😅
Watching from the US. Options, on the Palisade, are different for us. (I just ordered a Limited in Bright White with a Beige interior.) I didn’t really look at the Mazda. I compared the Telluride and Durango, to the Palisade. Anyway, the black interior is super common here and I believe the dash is upgraded on US models. (Also, we can’t get the diesel motor, but AWD is standard. The back up cameras and sideview cameras are different in the US market too. On the US Palisade when you use your turn signal a sideview camera shows your blind spot on that side. It also has a top down view for hooking up a trailer and auto leveling rear axle.) Anyway, I enjoyed your review but the vehicles are just too different, even though they carry the same name.)
Is the Telluride pretty much the same as the Hyundai?
Yes, they are very similar. The underpinnings are exactly the same, like the engine and transmission. The only differences are really just cosmetic. Most people in the US are of the opinion that if you’re more interested in exterior appearances that you would get the Telluride, and if you prefer the more plush interior, you get the Palisade. If you didn’t know, in 1998 Hyundai bought Kia and is the parent company. Hyundai’s luxury brand is Genesis and if I could have afforded it, I would have been shopping for one of those! ha!
In north America it is hard to choose a Mazda CX9 over Palisade. It is so different. Cx9 is in the range of Mitsubishi Outlander etc. For lack of 3rd row space
Palisade hands down!
Palisade anyday!!
I have the CX9 Azami, bought new and have just purchased the Palisade Highlander in top spec. You’d be made to buy the Mazda now. The refresh is hardly a refresh and the car is now extremely dated. In 4yrs it will be a dinosaur
I'll take the CX-9 please (even before the redesign).
Got the 2021 CX9 Azami. Great car. Good recommendation.
I have a 2018 model, and loving it ❤everyday
Great review! The Hyundai is too boxy for me. The Mazda looks good but needs updating
what kind of updating? Lol
It’s 2021 and still no air vents at the third row... Mazda disappoints me
The Palisade has a better interior
Definitely in the second and third rows
Good lane keep assist is a treasure. But the cx9 does have its charm
CX-9 has no air-con for 3rd row, no touch screen (so weird to operate by a controller).
Palisade has easy access to the 3rd row.
The Mazda is much older but so much more elegant. Palisade is brash
Love those seats in the back of the Palisade just need some screens and you would be set
I am considering the Palisade as a soft roader alternative to a Prado VX or Kakadu. Really focuses the question on what you need for what you do and what will you enjoy long term. For us, we like luxury but our Lexus is taking a pretty good beating from gear and people, not sure the Hyundai would hold up as well or be as durable as we need, it’s a case of you do you. I won’t get into the diesel for city trips debate but you’d hope buyers are aware of the need to take it for a regular good long runs to avoid DPF problems long term.... give that point to the petrol Mazda.
As a Hyundai fan and owner of a Santafe... I would say you cannot compare the off-road capabilities of a Prado to a Haundai SUV. It's simply not built for any amount of serious off-roading. If you tend to drive off-road regularly theres no beating a Prado.
Palisade a bold type of car.. but respect for cx9, older design but still georgeous
If the family has a say in it, then it has to be the Palisade - the engine is nothing to write home about though! The CX-9 looks great inside and out.
The 3.8 V6 has nearly 300 horsepower and is perfectly matted to the awesome transmission. It has plenty of get up and go!
@@JT-sl3ui True, that is an excellent engine.
@@JT-sl3ui I was referring to the diesel on test here.

What you mean?
Just bought a 2020 CX-9
Very uncomfortable ridges that dig into the side of my legs
It has awe but still has torque steer
100% for the palisade
Thanks for the good review. Palisade is pretty popular in korea because it's good value for money. But in Australia for me it looks bit expensive compare to korea price. So my pick is Kia Carnival !
I think in this segment the Carnival is probably the best bet
the comparison is not fair the Hyundai is not the limited take that into account
This is an Australian channel, reviewing the two top of the line products side by side. We do not have the Limited Hyundai here. At the time this review was done, the 2021 Palisade came in either "Palisade" or "Hylander" variants, that's it. So Hylander being the top spec available here, was compared to the top spec Akari LE CX9. Useful information to have before suggesting the comparison was unfair.
The Hyundai wins for room, the Mazda for style, classiness and driving. The Mazda would be my pick. Good job, though, Hyundai.
Why don't they design 2 row SUV's with captain seats in the 2nd row. Most families have only 4 members.
@Tristan Han you have to understand that captain seats are more comfortable than bench seats. Like how it is in s-class and rolls Royce. Those are 4 seater sedans. But they cost 200k, whereas this Cx9 with captain seats costs 62k
Mazda CX-9 👊
Great review, Tom, but I don’t like either car.
Palisade is the king here
Palisade better
I owned cx-9, and half a dozen other family SUVs. Cx-9 is probably the best driving car in its segment. O
The palisade having three seats at the back is perfect for me having three kids to transport.
only the Signature and Kuro/Carbon model comes with the 6 seating standard. You can get a 3 row mid if you opt out of the captains chairs.
Kddk
yes but engine wont last long trust me
We are huge Mazda fans, but the CX-9 is not available in our country (Thailand). But we have a CX-8. But I am very impressed by the Koreans. The new Kia Carnival unfortunately came a year too late. We probably had bought the Carnival instead the CX-8. Hyundai will probably introduce the Palisade in country and we probably will look at it. The only downside is the lack of a dealership net.
If I'm buying used I'll go cx9 as they can be bought in the 30s right now, brand new cx9 doesn't make sense as the Palisade is a brand new platform, although I thinks it's obnoxious and it will not age well, I'd wait for the new cx90, that is a work of art, and now has straight 6
Thanks for the review
The Palisade Highlander has Reverse AEB, its called Rear Cross Traffic Collision Avoidance. I believe that is the same thing? I have the Highlander but believe its on both trims.
Yes I beleive you are correct. It's in the specs... but not sure if it wroks the same way... like what the Subaru's offer... small kids and pets crossing your reversing path.
For family of 4 or 5 CX-9 is perfect, chic with adequate power & fun to drive
They need to bring the Kia Telluride to Aus. it better than both of them.
It’s the same. Just a different look. Actually I don’t think the Kia’s interior is as nice as the quilted Napa leather you get in the Hyundai.
The Palisade has a relatively more luxurious interior.
it looks luxurious but the cx 9 feels more luxurious
The CX-9 has a relatively more luxurious interior.
@@CM-le4yh hahaha
There's one very big reason you would go with the Mazda and that is it's overall reliability over long periods of time it will just continue as with the Korean cars they're down in reliability in consumer reports. Mazdas are ranked in the top three most reliable cars. Of course it's Japanese..
In NZ cx9 limited $70k and
Palisade entry level $99k
And the top trim of Palisade costs NZ $115k... I think it is absolutely a joke...
Great review. Palisade wins for me with the fabulous practical seating and huge airy feeling. The Mazda is nice but feels claustrophobic inside for such a large car. Yes its suspension is better but the negatives of the interior packaging and drab darkness is offputting. I think kids in row 3 of the Mazda will get car sick easier due to the truncated glass area.
Mazda CX9 only comes with a standard sunroof while Palisade has panoramic sunroof
Just how much of a sunroof do you really need? Lol
Interesting, about the CX-8 being a stretched CX-5. I didn't know that. Editing to point out that later in the video, you incorrectly claim that "due to packaging constraints, the V6 can only be had in front wheel drive." I'm from California, and that's just not true. Palisade came with both FWD and AWD with the petrol V6, in the USDM at least.
Could be a packaging issue with RHD.
Yes, it was a reference to RHD packaging. We’re an Australian channel, so that’s generally what this inference would mean
The Mazda CX8 is NOT a stretched Cx5. It's a shrunken CX9. The frame is CX9. Also drives like a CX9. Heavier feeling with slower reflexes and movements, than the cx5. Mazda is terrible at marketing. Truly lost. That's what happens when mazda top brass and engineers live and work in a Hiroshima bubble, still fearful of being atomic bombed.
@@dominickwilliams3504 The CX8 is a stretched CX5, the front half is a CX5.

Do u happen to know what the third row crash zone is like? Ie if you get hit are the third row passengers safe?
Mazda is a best vihicles
For me i would choose the more reliable brand which is the Mazda CX-9, I've owned a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe which was a perfect ride for only about 6 years, after that i've endured many engine related problems with the car, had it sold earlier this year.
После 6 лет проблемы? 😅Это нормально.
Palisade wins
palisade is the best
Are they worried about the Mazda 2.2L Diesel blowing up like it did a lot in the CX5? I like the outside of the CX9 (it proportionally looks better) but the inside practicality of the Palisade. We all know that a lot of people that buy these only have two kids which kind of makes them a bit overkill for our pokey little roads where every inch less helps. I can see why they buy them when you look at the boots in mid size SUVs. If only a manufacturer could build a SUV that is bigger then a mid size (4.5m long) and smaller then a CX9 (5.08m)....4.7m would be bang on. Not everyone wants 7 seats and a 5m long vehicle with more seats then needed.
Yeah Kodiaq is 4.7m, either a roomy 5 seater with big boot and yet can be a temporary 7 seater for short trips with kids in the back.
Another great review. Out of curiosity (OCD?!) there's a blanked off spot on the centre console..In other markets it's the button (to make a completed area of 4 buttons) to switch the ON/OFF remote start. Why would Hyundai Australia remove this feature??
CX9
The Mazda CX-9 is cool, coupe-like style, the Palisade is a boring soccer mom car.
You should review with 7 passenger or 6 passenger with suv not as single driver .then you will know which is best.
Please do Toyota Kluger vs Hyundai Palisade
Hi Tom, as always great reviews, here in South Africa we don't get the Cx9 I love it and heard so much about it the driving dynamics, we only get the cx5, I read in car megazine we might be getting the pallaside though, looking forward to it, looks like a great product
CX 9
Which camera you used for this video?! Excellent clarity 🔥❤️
Palisade of course. Too easy. Good job Hyundai 👏👏👏
What about the resale value?
Cx9 would be a winner for me if it came with a black interior, not just white or brown..

why do you never put the second row down as well, would have been good to see this on the CX8 review.
