The Hyundai Palisade might be new to the three-row crossover SUV segment, but it's already one of our top picks. Packed with value, comfort and capability, the Palisade has everything shoppers are looking for. Only the lackluster handling and mediocre fuel economy could be considered demerits, but they are minor ones given this well-rounded SUV.

Pros

Plenty of space for adults in all three rows
Lots of standard and optional high-tech features
Comfortable seating and ride quality

Cons

Handling isn't quite as crisp as that of some rivals

What's new

Calligraphy Night Edition pairs blackout trim with luxurious top spec
New Bluelink+ connected services come standard without subscription fees
Part of the first Palisade generation introduced for 2020

Overview

The Hyundai Palisade made an immediate impression on us with its 2020 debut, delivering style and three-row SUV practicality at a reasonable price. Upscale trimmings and a generous feature list helped the Palisade immediately challenge the three-row status quo, and four years later the 2024 Palisade remains a top contender for families with big needs.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2024 Hyundai Palisade SE 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 8A) and comparison vehicles are based on 15,000 miles per year (with a mix of 55% city and 45% highway driving) and energy estimates of $3.50 per gallon for regular unleaded in Ohio.}

Edmunds spotlight: Palisade or Telluride?

The Palisade ranks a very close second to the Edmunds Top Rated Kia Telluride. Notably, these two SUVs are closely related to each other under the bodywork. They have the same engine and very similar in-car technology features. Each has its own style, however, with the Palisade taking on a more luxurious vibe. The range-topping Calligraphy trim, for example, adds extra-classy features such as quilted-leather door inserts and a suede-like headliner.

Competitors to consider

There's plenty to like about the Palisade or the Telluride. But there are other options should they not work out. Other three-row SUVs you want to consider are the upscale Mazda CX-90, the new Toyota Grand Highlander and the roomy Volkswagen Atlas. Check out our Expert Rating below to get our test team evaluation of the Palisade's comfort, utility and more.

edmunds TESTED

Rated for you by America's best test team.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Palisade drive? What the Palisade lacks in all-out performance it more than makes up for with a competent and well-rounded skill set. Accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph takes 7.6 seconds, which is an average time for a three-row SUV. High-speed passing can be done with confidence. In our emergency braking tests, the Palisade demonstrated strong and predictable braking. In more routine driving, the brake pedal is easy to control for smooth stops.

Handling and steering are less of a strong point, but the big Hyundai rarely feels sloppy or out of sorts as you drive around turns. Thanks in part to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, the Palisade is a stress-free companion in both city and highway driving.

Comfort

8.5/10

How comfortable is the Palisade? Three-row SUVs aren't always hauling around six or seven people, so there's something to be said for having a little peace when it's just you. The Palisade delivers — there's minimal road and wind noise and the climate control system is quiet yet effective.

The front seats offer a nice mix of support for cornering and comfort for driving long distances. Just about everybody should like them. The optional second-row captain's chairs are just as good and they feel better than some front seats in other vehicles. Even the third row is decent and has a nicely contoured seat cushion.

Build & Price

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Hyundai Palisade blurs the lines between near-luxury and luxury thanks to a well-appointed and comfortable interior for all its passengers. Though a few of the controls on the center stack are a bit of a reach, everything is laid out well and simple to understand. The driving position offers a commanding view out the front and sides, and the somewhat limited rear visibility can be offset with the optional surround-view camera system.

Rear passengers will also like the Palisade. The rear doors open wide, and you can easily slide the optional second-row captain's chairs up and out of the way by pushing a button. Once done, there's a clear path to the third-row seat.

Technology

8.5/10

How’s the tech? The Palisade comes equipped with plenty of advanced driver assist features, and most of them work great. Our test Palisade's adaptive cruise control system operated smoothly in traffic, and the steering assist system did a good job of centering the car within the lane. The blind-spot warning system can be oversensitive, and the available turn-signal camera display is gimmicky and distracting to use, but all other driver aids are pretty calm.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is standard, and numerous USB-C ports are spread across all three rows (although only one, and old USB-A, can be used for phone connectivity). The 12.3-inch center touchscreen looks sharp, and it comes with navigation that offers several useful features.

Limited and Calligraphy trims come with a head-up display and rear-seat intercom features; both are useful. Sound quality from the upgraded 10-speaker sound system is decent but not outstanding.

Storage

8.5/10

How’s the storage? Trunk space is generous, with 18 cubic feet behind the third row and 87 cubes with both rows folded down. Beyond that, the hatch opening is wide and accommodating. There's also a useful underfloor compartment. The Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, which is average for the class.

Small-item storage is almost too much of a good thing: a fairly giant center bin with a retractable cover, a second bin on the floor between the front passenger seats, and a traditional center console. Cupholders are retractable but allow for smaller bottles to rattle about. Even the bulkiest car seats fit easily, and the seat anchors are easy to find.

Fuel Economy

7.0/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates an all-wheel-drive Palisade gets 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We were able to match that with our test vehicle on our real-world 115-mile evaluation route. Some rival SUVs offer better fuel economy. But you can run the V6 on regular gas, unlike some rival SUVs that require premium unleaded to return their rated power and fuel economy numbers.

Value

8.5/10

Is the Palisade a good value? The Palisade, and its corporate sibling, the Kia Telluride, might be the best value in the class. Everything is top-notch, from the driving experience to the interior quality to the standard and optional features. Even the base model seems to give you a bit extra, and in the top trims you get a near-luxury experience. Overall, we are very impressed with the quality and feel of the Palisade. You also get Hyundai's excellent 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and five-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance.

Wildcard

8.0/10

The Palisade really blurs the lines between a luxury and non-luxury vehicle. Value and quality are everywhere. This Hyundai has a breadth of talents and is sure to find itself near the top of this competitive class for a few years to come.

Which Palisade does Edmunds recommend?

For a relatively small upcharge over the base SE, the SEL comes with several desirable upgrades such as synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats and a hands-free liftgate. Splurging for the Premium package adds even more comfort and convenience, including ventilated seats and driver assist features such as a 360-degree camera system to make tight maneuvers more manageable.

Hyundai Palisade models

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is a three-row midsize SUV available in five trims: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy. All are powered by a 3.8-liter V6 (291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional for all trims. A second-row bench seat with seating for eight is standard on the SE and optional for the SEL.

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy in August 2022. In October 2022, I pulled onto a highway where the posted speed limit is 70 mph. I had plenty of time. Oncoming traffic was at least 1/4 mile away. When I pressed on the gas, the speedometer would not go over 20 mph. The RPM quickly shot up to 4000 RPM. The car was not responding, and there were no warning lights on the …

The 2023 Pallisade Limited Is awesome. Roomy inside, including the 3rd row (relatively speaking...it's not a Suburban after all). Interior style and decor is very nice in the Limited and Calligraphy (the lower models I found cheap looking). The drive features are great, like the camera 360 views, dash controls, etc. A couple things described by published reviews as "cons" I disagree …

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

My wife and I have been shopping for a few months now. After driving different 3 row midsized SUV'S (Kia) included we decided on the Calligraphy AWD. Why: *Refinement at this price point. * Drives better, better command of the roads and freeways. * More roomy, my high school age kids gave it a thumbs up. * Acceleration was better and smother. A win for Hyundai! Update: Best value for my …

Bought a 2024 Palisade limited in late December 2023. Got it home and noticed that the driver's seat did not automatically extend upon exit, and that it would go forward, but did not want to extend backwards. Took it back to dealership the next day. Service ordered a new switch for the seat. Finally had appointment today (Jan 29 - over 4 weeks later). Dealer installed new switch, seat …

Hyundai Palisade vs. Kia Telluride

This is a classic sibling rivalry since the Palisade and Kia Telluride have a lot in common. Both are built on the same platform, use the same V6 engine, and are nearly identical in size and dimension. The Palisade has a few features that the Kia lacks, but it's also slightly more ponderous in its handling. The Telluride's suspension does a better job making the big SUV feel more stable through turns.

Hyundai Palisade vs. Mazda CX-90

The Mazda CX-90 is the brand's all-new three row SUV. It's a replacement for the CX-9 and is meant to attract shoppers interested in the higher end of the market. The interior has a premium look to it, with details like a leather dashboard and silver trim around the air vents. It also has a standard 340-hp engine and an available plug-in hybrid version. Pricing and value will still be in the Palisade's favor, but this new Mazda is one to check out for sure.

Hyundai Palisade vs. Chevrolet Traverse

The Chevrolet Traverse is one of the roomiest three-row SUVs available, with generous legroom in all three rows and significantly more cargo space than the Hyundai. It also offers a comfortable ride and plenty of useful tech features. The Palisade, however, looks and feels more upscale and is backed by a longer warranty.
