Criticisms of my 26 Palisade Hybrid - 2 weeks into ownership

Overall I really like the car however here are the nits I would pick two weeks in:

  1. Even with the hybrid the engine seems to rev unnecessarily/ struggle from 0-25 mph. Shifting through this speed range is a bit unpleasant and jerky.
  2. No walk away lock.
  3. With all 3 rows of seating up you have very little useable trunk space. Like less than you would get in a compact SUV.
  4. Wireless charger makes your phone really hot.
  5. Gas mileage doesn’t seem to approach what’s advertised although supposedly there’s a break in period.
  6. No dedicated sunglasses holder.

Things that were supposed to bother me that don’t:

  1. The shifter stalk and start/stop button. It really hasn’t been a struggle to see/find this.
  2. Reaching the park assist button. It’s not that hard to reach it and it comes on automatically if you start moving forward at low speeds or reversing.
  3. Noise. Despite some reports of loud engine sounds or road noise I find the car very quiet.
  4. Floaty or unresponsive handling. I have no issue with this even in eco mode.
  5. Second row seat logic. It is confusing for people new to the car but once you learn how it works it’s easy, just slow.

2nd row seat logic changes - overblown?

So prior to the change it was: 1 press to move 2nd row seat forward; 1 press to move 2nd row seat back to original seating position

Post change it's: 1 press and hold to more 2nd row seat forward; 1 press to move 2nd row seat back + 1 hold of seat back recline button to move seat back to original seating position.

Is that what people are complaining about? I get the new logic take longer and is more annoying since you have to hold the button down in 2 of the steps but some people are acting like the 2nd row seats no longer work at all. Just want to make sure I understand the complaint.

Has anyone seen the 2027 models in person yet?

Local dealerships show they have 2027 models on the lot (according to their websites at least). Wondering if anybody has actually seen a 2027 themselves.

Just bought a 26 Palisade: where to re-sell OEM accessories?

Less than a week ago I bought a 2026 Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy. I love the car but I had to accept a bunch of manufacturer accessories that I didn't really want. I'm keeping most of them but have OEM carpeted floor mats (still in original bag, unopened), the cargo tray, first aid kit and 100W charging cable.

(My car also came with the OEM all-weather liners, and I can't use both the carpeted floor mats and the all-weather liners at the same time so why both were included baffles me.)

I'm wondering if there's a good place to re-sell all these items that are OEM, new and unused. Is eBay my best bet?

Where to get best price for Platinum extended warranty currently?

Internet seems to recommend Burlington Hyundai. Does anyone else know of other dealerships that are offering good deals on these extended warranties?
