Perfect timing, my Wrangler 4xe lease ends next year, I'll be getting this car for family trips. I was considering an R1S but after watching a video where most body shops were asking for 40k+ to fix the rear quarter panel turned me off instantly.
I didn’t know pricing had even been announced. Incidentally, I see plenty of $70,000-80,000 pickup trucks and SUVS on local dealer lots. I don’t see anyone going bananas about those.
You doing the scene change and then clapping is killing me 😂😂 You're supposed to clap and then change the scene but keep doing what you're doing, it's unique I guess. Keep up the good work. I today realized how much I like watching your reviews. I came to yours after Doug's review of Ioniq 9 and I fast forwarded through basically his entire video and I'm taking my sweet time with yours.
@@MotoManTV Nope, I've been watching your channel for more than a year (though I don't know how many years). It's just that when I was watching your review of Ioniq 9, i realized how bored I was when I was watching another review of it.
The kia ev9 technically was never a true 800v eV architecture. It was more in the 600+ pack voltage. The gv70, ioniq5, ioniq6 were all closer to a true 800 v architecture.
Great episode! In design, i think the wheel arches would look better squared off like a GM product. The storm trooper look is definitely becoming hyundai design language and lastly yes the price has to come down. Overall, hyundai design and quality has been improving, i hope it keeps getting better!
On the opposite end of the EV spectrum. Hyundai is advertising *today*, a short term lease with a payment of under $120 (not a typo, one hundred twenty). With the deposit due at delivery, it’s still adapted to under two hundred a month.
Not the best looking, but not horrible either. I'm sure the interior quality and design is much better than any competitors. Waiting for the idiots here to start their usual deluded complaints that Hyundai isn't an equal competitor to Ford, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, and the others and therefore can't charge that much for a car despite it being cheaper and offering more than cars like Volvo. People are stupid.
Not only stupid but those individuals seem to be stuck in the past not realizing that things change with time. Plus, those who talk smack specifically about Hyundai/Kia, they never even owned one in the past from my experience.
The over sized pixels especially being white when off is off putting. Would you like the wheel well eye brows better if they hid the amber and red markers behind them like the EV9 grill trick? Please hide as well as my IONIQ 5, thank you. Great introduction and I agree in the price being much lower with top trims starting with a 5.
See the example Stellantis set with the Waggoneer in terms of size of the vehicle price and in the end Sales or lack of them. Yeah the elephant in the room is BEV vs ICE but I think you get it...
Take this tech and space, package it as a minivan that can seat 7 or 8 (8 preferred) and Hyundai or Kia can have my money... Make an option for cloth seats and I would pay extra...
No thanks! I will reserve my unfavorable comments! Enjoyed your presentation, well, done, thanks for explaining a vehicle, I wager, few, buyers will want?
@@jpl8878 Honda as Chinese will have solid state before Toyota now. Five years I think they are coming. Meanwhile range extenders will be beat option not to lose value and have long range usability.
Glad you brought this up. Just wrapped up World Car Test Drives this week and we drove the latest crop of Chinese competitors to this. Short answer: There is a MUCH bigger story than money. Especially when you are talking cars in the this class. The Chinese competitors are paint by numbers. The have a lot of the features cars like these do. Some of their designs (MG) are decent. However, they don't come together. Especially driving. Add to that a hard fact that I am coming to realize: We are reaching peak new brands. A topic I will cover in a future episode.
No way this guy just said this would be a Tahoe competitor 😂 the lot of you are too comfortable comparing these tiny vans to a body on frame vehicle 😂 sick
Absolutely did. And yes, the Tahoe at the like are real off roader. That said, here's why: The vast majority of folks that buy Tahoes et al do so to cart people around. VERY few of them go off road. Hence, they cross shop against Grand Highlanders, Palisade, etc.
@ i understand what your saying but the competing vehicles you named are more in line with a Chevrolet traverse .. even then, they fall short in terms of size and for some ( equipment).
I guess some will like it but I genuinely hate the design. Would never consider buying this. Looks like a bad marriage between an SUV and a minivan. Just terrible.
The GLS would be *much* more expensive to run and repair, especially if you have children who are not kind to trim pieces. There's way more than just purchase price to consider.
It went crazy back in the 2010's when the starting price of a Ford pickup went higher than a fully loaded Honda Accord. This makes perfect sense by comparison. Glorified minivan Tahoes start at 60k and that won't even get you 4WD, and can run easily up to 100k before tax.
Chevy Tahoe can be had 60k (And that only gets you 2wd) up to 100k before tax. And that's a Chevy pickup with long roof instead of a bed. This seems reasonable when put in context of the rest of the market
My 2023 Palisade is significantly nicer than the more expensive Honda Pilot, Toyota Grand Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Chevy Traverse, and Ford Explorer.
Hyundai has a big problem with designing the rear of their big SUV, they copied ford flex for the SANTA and now this rear end design looks like an old volvo suck a disappointment. To make matters worse the spy shots for the upcoming palisade the rear end looks like an old Range Rover Hyundai designers are better than this, come on guys.
Perfect timing, my Wrangler 4xe lease ends next year, I'll be getting this car for family trips.

I agree that I see Volvo, but I’d call it a futuristic Volvo.

hyundai not affraid to be different and try something new. also they will come with many colors to choose from, 17 or 19 i think. the rear looks sexy.

3:10 - not quite correct. Hyundai are giving the RWD a WLTP range of 382 miles (620km). It has the longest range of the three models.
Moto man always gives you the straight goods without the fluff
You are took kind.

Thats the price for USA. In our country it will cost 120000. +50% at least
That headroom above the second row looks almost as high as a school bus!
I hope you get a Macan EV soon to tell us about.
Already drove it. In short: A Porsche it is not.
@@MotoManTV WOW! From the people who brought us the Taycan?
I remember your non driving review last spring and hope the driving review is soon.

Rear looks like a Volvo estate indeed!
We need more low cost evs. Not more super high cost ones
Why do you say that like they are not making low cost ones?
Kia is coming out with an EV3, which should be around 35k. It's roughly the size of Kia Seltos.
There are already Inster and EV3, what are these thinking?
And nobody wants that 35k ev. And yes, 35 is still a lot of money for many people.
Then buy cheap petrol car with expensive oil. Why you buy ev?

The rear lights look like the rear lights of the Amazon EV delivery vans.
Which are rivians
The rear of this car resembles the Hyundai STARIA Lounge
Were the issues with battery repair costs fixed?
Take this tech and space, package it as a minivan that can seat 7 or 8 (8 preferred) and Hyundai or Kia can have my money...
Make an option for cloth seats and I would pay extra...
Hyundai is bringing back the 90s… That’s not a compliment
People still think Hyundai should be cheap 💀
$80,000 is still cheap when compared similar brands.
@@dash-2112$60,000 for base Ioniq 9.
I prefer the tech/retro look of the Ionic 5. Looks.a tad too Minecrafty (pixelated?) to me.
No thanks! I will reserve my unfavorable comments! Enjoyed your presentation, well, done, thanks for explaining a vehicle, I wager, few, buyers will want?
Lamenting over the 'problems' of a triangle front window, and the wheel-arch cladding sure sounds pretty picky to me 🙄
4:23 hips more like the pre-2016 Volvo v70/xc70
Not really
The pixel design looks silly. The rear would be beautiful with full LED lines without the silly little squares.
Function over form, I guess.
Just can't justify this now. Solid state is too close. Erev would retain value likely better
Exactly, buying an EV right now feels like buying a laptop in 2004. The next one will be way better in 2 years.
Solid state is not close. That's just what Toyota wants you to believe.
@@jpl8878 Honda as Chinese will have solid state before Toyota now. Five years I think they are coming. Meanwhile range extenders will be beat option not to lose value and have long range usability.
14 mins to get thru an all new vehicle. Bravo. It took Nathan from TFL 37.5 mins! 😂 amateur channel. 😂
What kind of his laptop is that, made in the Stone Age?
Can he even carry his laptop around?
Lucid is crying ......
I’d way rather have the rivian r1s
I would rather drive a Yugo
This is a really hard sell especially compared to the new EVs coming out of China.

but you can't buy Chinese EV's in USA.
Short answer to your question: No.
The fender "eyebrows" are just dumb
So is your comment.

Lots of better options for that kinda dough. Better looking too. This thing looks like it was best by the ugly stick.
Toyota dealers' jealousy exploded in the comments.😂😂😂
Is it me, Or does the rear look like a Volvo?
This car would look incredible black or black
They're all just fancy pantsy station wagons
The fast A-pillar reminds me of something, but I can't put my finger on it.
Excellent work, like always, M.
Tesla Cybertruck: Why it will change automotive design forever!

@MotoManTV honestly? It was the first generation Pontiac Trans Sport that came to my mind. 🫣
I guess some will like it but I genuinely hate the design. Would never consider buying this. Looks like a bad marriage between an SUV and a minivan. Just terrible.
Nope, I'd rather get a 1-2 year old GLS580.
Wouldn't argue with you.
The GLS would be *much* more expensive to run and repair, especially if you have children who are not kind to trim pieces. There's way more than just purchase price to consider.
you dress their target demographic
The world has officially gone insane when a Hyundai cost $80,000.
It went crazy back in the 2010's when the starting price of a Ford pickup went higher than a fully loaded Honda Accord. This makes perfect sense by comparison.
Glorified minivan Tahoes start at 60k and that won't even get you 4WD, and can run easily up to 100k before tax.
Not really, every automaker is going to have an electric car at this price point.
You should realise the reality that other competitors are even more expensive in the same segment.
$60,000 for base model. You’re stuck back in year 2000 and completely clueless how far Hyundai has come.
거지새끼냐 돈없으면 관심가지마
Now what in the hell is this 😂😂😂 ... Hyundai and Kia don't give a damn how they cars look ... They just design some shit and throw it out there lmao
Super dissatisfied. The design is horrible. Man…. I waited all year for this crap!… dang
If I was gonna spend 80,000 on a new vehicle right now, I would probably not buy that one!😂
Hyundai/Kia is the absolute worst vehicle company, and I was born in Seoul.
Nobody needs this minivan electric acam
The interior looks cheap.
Toyota? 😂😂😂 what an embarrassment they have become!
$80,000 No as midsize truck set pace regardless of quality of interior, new Caddy EV SUV is close in price, Hyundai is not Volvo nor Caddy.
You are correct Hyundai is not Volvo or Caddy, much better actually.
The Cadillac Lyriq can be had nicely equipped for $70k.
Chevy Tahoe can be had 60k (And that only gets you 2wd) up to 100k before tax.
And that's a Chevy pickup with long roof instead of a bed. This seems reasonable when put in context of the rest of the market
$80k is a lot of money to for a vehicle and Hyundai is not a brand that will attract buyers with this budget.
My 2023 Palisade is significantly nicer than the more expensive Honda Pilot, Toyota Grand Highlander, Nissan Pathfinder, Chevy Traverse, and Ford Explorer.
Hyundai feels luxurious than any brands except Genesis.
Hyundai moto group is the top 3 auto maker in number in the world.

$80K for a what is essentially a hearse, while completely ignoring the lower end of the market, is hilarious. I hope this thing fails epically.
