I'm doubtful on all counts. I've never seen a rental Hyundai/Kia with a trim higher than base (except for one or two Sorento minivans). I don't know this as a fact but it seems like they don't sell high-trim cars to rental fleets, and since the Cadenza and Telluride are being positioned as upper-market offerings I doubt we'll see them.

National used to stock the original Hyundai Genesis before it was its own brand. For a while they had an exclusive program where you could rent what was the Genesis G90 too for a hefty upcharge if I remember right, but it didn't last too long. That was when the car first launched.

I concur. I've gotten those quite a few times from both FLL National (on the Aisle) and my local city Enterprise. Great vehicle. Doesn't have the third row seats like the Explorers but still fits a ton in the trunk and handles a bit better then the Explorers.

2019 Nissan Altima - OK sedan (assigned to me when I rented Midsize from a location with no Aisle) with a couple of showstopping disappointments
- blind spot warning is way too sensitive during lane changes in heavy traffic. (no, I am not cutting people off)
- Apple CarPlay does not engage about 1/3 of the time. Have to constantly unplug and replug my phone to get it to work

One thing I don't understand about Ford is why they put cheap rubbery steering wheels in their Limited and Titanium trim cars. Hopefully the new Explorer will have a steering wheel that actually feels like leather.

The Explorer also seemed costly relative to the Telluride and Palisade. Can’t wait to try any of those three as rentals.
