Performance
The Hyundai Palisade gets to speed quickly and confidently, courtesy of a 3.8-liter V-6 powerplant producing 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. A smooth and precise 8-speed automatic transmission responds dutifully, helping Palisade hustle to 60 mph from a standstill in under seven seconds. Hyundai's HTRAC® All-Wheel-Drive system is available on all models for enhanced handling and all-weather control. And when properly equipped, Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Design and Accommodations
Palisade sports a fresh look for its midcycle update, highlighted by dynamic detailing like vertical LED composite front lighting clusters and a new cascading grille. A more squared-off front end, an extended hood, and a straked skid plate design emphasize its assertive character, giving it an unmistakable presence on the road.
On the inside, Palisade is open and inviting, with its spacious cabin providing roomy seating for up to eight passengers or seven with available second-row captain's chairs. With all seats in use, Palisade retains 18 cubic feet for storage behind the rear seats, expandable to 45.8 cubic feet with the third row folded. When your Navasota errands or adventures require maximum cargo capacity, you can fold the second row as well to access 86.4 cubic feet.
Palisade offers a wealth of experience-enhancing amenities, like heated and ventilated seats in the first and second rows, heated third-row seats, a dual-pane sunroof with sunshade, dual-zone automatic climate control, and leatherette or leather upholstery.
Tech and Safety
The new Palisade replaces its predecessor's 8-inch and 10.25-inch touchscreens with a new standard high-res 12.3-inch display with advanced navigation and Apple CarPlay/Android Auto smartphone integration. The updated touchscreen is especially striking when paired with the available 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Hyundai Digital Key comes standard, allowing you to access and start the vehicle using your smartphone. And with the available Heads-up Display, you can view important driving details on the windshield without taking your eyes off the road.
Hyundai equips its flagship SUV with one of the most comprehensive driver-assist rosters available-most included as standard equipment. No matter your chosen trim, you'll get Hyundai SmartSense driving aids like:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Intersection Assist
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go
