2023 Hyundai Palisade: Demo of how Auto Lane Change works on a highway

The Highway Driving Assist v2 has the auto lane change assist when the indicator is soft pressed.

BHPian nikhilarni recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Two-month ownership update.

Clocked in about 900 odd miles of city driving averaging about 21 mpg. I'd say not bad for the hilly terrain of Pittsburgh with all city driving, stop-go traffic conditions, and short distances.

The ride quality is smooth and fairly quiet. Not as quiet as the GLC though. Nothing to really talk about. It does its job.

As I continued to play around and get familiar with the settings of the Palisade, I wasn't too sure about what the exact functions of the Highway Driving Assist (HDA) entail.

I was curious about this little symbol and browsed through the manual and some online help to explore it.

This is actually the HDA version 2, specific to the MY '23 refresh onwards. The HDA v2 has the auto lane change assist when the indicator is soft-pressed.

Conditions required for the lane change assist to work are

• Cruise Control should be active.
• The lane ( intended to shift into) should be clear of traffic.
• Lane demarcation is to be clear and only on White Dotted line.

Yes. The cameras and algorithm detect the lane demarcation. I did try this on a solid white like - and it didn't work!

Here is a little clip of the lane changing. Look closely at the HUD, and you'll notice the green arrows indicating a clear path followed by the lane change. Pretty smoothly executed maneuver.

I had seen something similar in my friend's '21 X5. I wasn't expecting this lane change assist to be present on a vehicle at this price point, let alone a Hyundai. I must admit, I am pretty impressed.
