When it comes to three-row midsized SUVs, the new Hyundai Palisade stands out from the pack. This well-equipped family hauler offers more passenger and cargo space, advanced tech features, and far more capable performance dynamics than many of its rivals in a competitive segment. Let's take a closer look at how the 2025 Palisade beats the competition.
Spacious and Comfortable Cabin
The Palisade provides one of the most accommodating cabins in a midsized three-row SUV class that includes popular models like the Toyota Highlander, Chevy Traverse, and Ford Explorer. With seating for up to eight passengers and a cavernous 155 cubic feet of total rider space, the Palisade offers plenty of room to stretch out comfortably as you attend to errands around town or take off on longer road trips. The available second-row captain's chairs slide and recline for enhanced comfort. Plus, one-touch second-row seats provide easy access to the spacious third row.
When it comes to cargo, the Palisade also excels. Behind the third row, you'll find 18 cubic feet of cargo space, which is considerably more than most competing midsized SUVs offer. Fold the second and third rows flat, and the Palisade provides a massive 87 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. That's enough room for camping gear, home improvement supplies, sports equipment and more.
Premium Features and Amenities
When you climb into the Palisade, you'll be greeted by an array of upscale features usually reserved for luxury SUVs. Quilted Nappa leather upholstery, heated and ventilated first and second-row seats, a panoramic sunroof, and an impressive 12-speaker premium audio system are all available on upper trims like the luxurious Calligraphy model.
Tech lovers will appreciate the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation in the latest new Hyundai Palisade, Wi-Fi, and both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. An available fully-digital instrument cluster, head-up display, and Hyundai Digital Key allow you to access your vehicle using your smartphone.
Advanced Hyundai Safety Tech
For 2025, the Palisade comes standard with even more advanced driver assistance features, like forward collision mitigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane following assist, rear cross traffic collision avoidance assist, blind spot monitoring and more. Parking is made simple with available front and rear parking sensors, automatic rear braking, and a surround view camera system. While all brands offer high-end safety aids in their SUVs, you'll find the driver aids developed by Hyundai are far more responsive and useful when you're on the go.
Capable and Efficient Performance
The new Hyundai Palisade comes standard with a potent 3.8-liter V-6 engine producing a best-in-class 291 horsepower. When properly equipped, the Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds, which is not only enough to bring along a small boat or camper on your adventures, but also usually a higher ranking than the trailering setups in other midsized SUVs bring with them.
Front-wheel drive is standard, while an advanced HTRAC all-wheel drive system is available for extra traction in inclement weather or when traversing dirt roads. Drive Mode Select allows you to tailor your driving dynamics for different conditions when you're behind the wheel of your Palisade. With up to 22 mpg combined highway and city driving, the Palisade is also quite fuel-efficient for a vehicle of its size. When all is said and done, the Palisade is a far more enjoyable midsized SUV to drive than its top competitors and we invite you to try it out for yourself here at Hampton Hyundai.
