Although i think people have gotten off topic....I will add my 2 cents worth.
I did recently trade my 2020 Palisade Limited FWD with 32,000 miles for a 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD, and i don't regret it for a minute. The inflated trade in value of the Palisade made my out of pocket expense to go to a new Santa Fe very minimal. If you need a SUV that is large and has tons of room for stuff and people, the Palisade cannot be beat. But if you are like me and an empty nester now, and want something FUN to drive, the 2021 Santa Fe Calligraphy AWD cannot be beat. The Santa Fe is very fast and sure footed, and the napa leather seats are soft and more comfortable and seem to wrap around you more. The interior
ambient lighting in the Santa Fe is a joke compared to the Palisade, and my MPG is less than i was getting with the Palisade, but that is to be expected with AWD and when it is so much fun to press on the gas pedal and leave everyone else in the dust at a stoplight. Santa Fe is 0-60 in about 6 seconds flat. Palisade is 0-60 in about 7.2 seconds. Way more torque at lower RPM with Santa Fe 2.5T motor than the V6 in the Palisade. The result is a very spirited acceleration from the Santa Fe.
