2025 Hyundai Palisade Review

by the Edmunds Experts

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 stable as that of some rivals

What's new

Midlevel SEL Premium trim is added to the lineup
Minor updates to feature availability
Part of the first Palisade generation introduced for 2020

Overview

The 2025 Palisade is Hyundai's largest SUV and is ideal if you're looking for something that's roomier than Hyundai's Tucson or Santa Fe SUVs. The three-row Palisade offers seating for up to eight passengers and is available in seven trim levels at various price points. Budget-minded shoppers will appreciate the Palisade's low starting price (one of the lowest in its class), but folks with larger budgets will likely be impressed with the top trim levels that can rival luxury-branded SUVs for poshness. The Palisade has been one of our favorite three-row midsize SUVs since its 2020 debut.

Cost to Drive^{Cost to drive estimates for the 2025 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 $2.96 per gallon for regular unleaded in Massachusetts.}

Edmunds spotlight: Palisade, Santa Fe or the 2026 model?

The Palisade and Santa Fe are both three-row SUVs, but which is better for you? It depends on your needs. The larger Palisade provides more passenger room, more cargo space, and seating for seven or eight passengers (versus six or seven). So if you frequently haul more than four passengers, the Palisade might be right for you, but if you don't, the Santa Fe is a solid alternative. The Santa Fe is also more affordable, offers an efficient hybrid engine, sports a distinctive boxy design, and is fresh off a 2024 redesign. However, the likely redesign of the 2026 Palisade should make the SUV slightly larger and introduce updated tech and new engines, including a hybrid.

Competitors to consider

The Palisade is a class leader, but you should still check out some of its rivals because they might have qualities you prefer. The Kia Telluride is the Palisade's very similar corporate sibling that boasts a sportier design and a rugged X-Pro model with an off-road-tuned suspension. If you want a hybrid engine, the recently released Toyota Grand Highlander offers a base hybrid engine and a powerful Hybrid Max version. There's also the Mazda CX-90, which delivers sharp handling (for a three-row SUV), a powerful engine lineup and a luxurious interior. For an in-depth review of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade, check out our test team's Expert Rating below.

Our Verdict

^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads.

8.3

out of 10

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.

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 of 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.

Build & Price

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 assistance 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.

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates the Palisade gets up to 22 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We were able to match that with our test vehicle on our real-world 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

8/10

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?

The SEL offers excellent value because it comes well equipped with some appealing features but is still relatively affordable. However, if you want a second-row bench seat for eight-passenger seating, you can downgrade to the more affordable base SE trim or upgrade to the loaded SEL Premium for a reasonable upcharge.

2024 Palisade Limited, 2000 mile review.

John A, 04/03/2024

2024 Hyundai Palisade Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

I rely heavily on reviews so I wanted to leave one so others could possibly benefit from mine. I drove several SUV's and did probably 15-20 hours of research online over a month or so and settled on the Palisade Limited after considering , Kia Telluride , Jeep Grand Cherokee , Honda Pilot , VW Atlas and Mazda CX90. I think the Palisade has them all beat Kia - felt less … sophisticated in the handling , and I think the exterior is less attractive, confusing number of trim levels... less willing to negotiate at 2 local Kia dealerships. I got 4.9% financing through Hyundai. Jeep - is overpriced, didn't drive one . To get all the safety features you need to buy a pricey model. I don't trust the reliability since my wife had a Wrangler that had problems at 60k. The Cherokee's I've read good things about so maybe reliability is good. But the price tag is a shocker. Honda Pilot, I liked it, drove 2 of them, but unimpressive small display and just generally nothing to wow me. Felt behind in technology although it also had a HUD. Comparable was 2k more. VW Atlas, I really liked the Atlas , felt impressive with good technology but did not want the 2.0L Turbo which is the only option. I also considered the 2024 redesigned Santa Fe but it was a bit early to get the color and trim level I wanted. I drove an SEL and it was very nice. The larger (than the VW's 2.0T) 2.4L 4 cyl seem strong and it rode very quiet. I drove a CX-90, just didn't like it. You sit lower and it felt more truck like in the handling than I expected. Drove it on a bumpy road and secondary road, not on the highway. I now have 2000 miles on the Palisade. It is roomy and the seats are very comfortable . The handling is very smooth, its so quiet on the highway, quieter than the 2018 Toyota Highlander I traded in. It's smooth and fast. I like technology, AEB, (It will automatically emergency steer as well. I was changing lines on the highway and another vehicle entered my path. It was somewhat intentional on my part as I was experimenting at the time) I've only seen this activate "Emergency Steering" once. It can almost drive itself on the highway with the Steering Assist and Cruise control on. Cruise controls are simple, one touch on and its set to current speed. Keep a light touch on the wheel and it will navigate the rest, steering and speed. Having said that, I prefer my own steering which is smoother. The auto steering tends to "have a shorter focus" so its a little like bouncing off the lane markers. This could use some improvement, but way better than what the Highlander had and probably compares well to others. The problem with all these feature is that you cant get to know them in a test drive. Overall I am very pleased. Its nice to use cruise on long drive and take your feet off the pedals and move around a bit. The Blind Spot View is very worthy of mention, no other manufacturers have this that I am aware of. None of the competitors in this class , only Hyundai . This gives a camera view of your blind spot, great for merging into a lane because you can keep your focus on the dash, Heads Up Display and road ahead, have a better view without turning your head. Why can't Ford do something like this? I used to buy only US brands, not anymore. My 2018 Highlander had 120 when I traded it in, and not one single repair outside of expected maintenance. Get that from a Ford, good luck. I very much enjoy the comfortable ride in the Palisade. It averages MPG as advertised. I get better than 24 on the highway, and average 22 so far. The Hyundai Blue Link app is excellent!! You can lock/unlock, get location, status , even snap a pic of the surroundings when the car is parked. The app does much more, and the digital key is awesome you can drive this vehicle with your phone, text someone a key and they can too. Apple Car play is great, you do need to connect with a cable (slight bummer) it won't work wirelessly/blue tooth. Music , phone all work on blue tooth just not Apple Play due to some compatibility thing they have not yet reworked in the Palisade. I think it's fixed in the new Santa Fe. I like the strong and efficient V6. Hopefully this vehicle will compare to the Toyota reliability I had in my Highlander. I'll review again when I have more miles.

Excellent comfortable drive

2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

I sold my 2020 BMW M340i and bought a black 2024 Calligraphy Night Edition. You may think: “you did what?” Well, it was hard to let my beamer go, but I don’t regret my decision at all. The Palisade is amazing! It has an incredible comfortable and smooth drive. I really like this non-turbo less complex engine with expected high reliability at a much much much lower maintenance cost. …

Fast forward to 2021 and I needed to rent an SUV that would fit the whole family to drive from New York to South Carolina. I ended up renting a Hyundai palisade.

Lexus TX 350 vs. Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy: Is the Lexus Worth the Extra $10,000?

NOTE: This video is about the 2024 Hyundai Palisade, but since the 2025 Hyundai Palisade is part of the same generation, our earlier analysis still applies.

These days, just about everyone is shopping for a three-row SUV of some kind. Lexus took note and finally has a proper entrant in the segment thanks to the new TX. But the TX faces stiff competition, and not all of its competitors come from other luxury brands — like the fantastic Hyundai Palisade, which has always punched above its price point. Is the TX 350 nice enough…
