Overview
The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is a masterclass in SUV design, expertly blending utility, value, and luxury. This stunning three-row SUV shares its underpinnings with the Kia Telluride but boasts a unique look and feel. With its smooth 3.8-liter V-6 engine, composed on-road demeanor, and opulent cabin, is one of the most valuable vehicles in the market.
Price
Priced from $38,045 to $55,245, the Palisade offers exceptional value across its trim levels. The midrange SEL with the Premium package, at $40,795, is our top pick, combining luxury features with advanced tech.
Engine and Transmission
The Palisade’s 3.8-liter V-6 engine produces 291 horsepower, paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is optional on most trims. The Palisade tows up to 5,000 pounds with the dealer-installed trailer hitch.
Dimensions and Interior
Inside, the Palisade’s high-class cabin features upmarket finishes, three comfortable rows of seats, and ample cargo space (86 cubic feet with seats folded). The second and third rows fold flat, and power-folding seats are optional on the SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy trims.
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Palisade accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.4 seconds and stops from 70 mph in 161 feet. Its composed ride and quiet cabin make it perfect for long-distance drives. While not the most agile handler, the Palisade’s smooth ride and generous ground clearance handle light off-roading with ease. EPA estimates for the Palisade range from 19-26 mpg, depending on drivetrain. Real-world testing yielded 23 mpg highway for the all-wheel-drive SEL model.
The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is a phenomenal SUV that checks all the boxes: utility, value, luxury, and style. With its powerful V-6 engine, refined transmission, and lavish cabin, it’s an excellent choice for families and long-distance travelers. While its fuel economy may not be the best in its class, the Palisade’s numerous strengths make it a top contender in the whole segment.
