Drive the Large, Powerful, and Efficient Hyundai Palisade at Crestmont Hyundai in Brunswick, OH
Searching for a three-row SUV can leave buyers feeling like they have to make compromises, especially on efficiency and handling. The 2024 Hyundai Palisade takes a different approach. Combining a great-looking design with a powerful engine, the Palisade also maneuvers well and offers solid off-road performance. See what it means to not compromise when you test the Palisade at Crestmont Hyundai in Brunswick, OH.
Performance
All Palisade trims come with a 3.8-liter engine and are available with a front- or all-wheel drive. The powertrain delivers 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. You also get up to 5,000 pounds of towing capacity. The FWD Palisade hits 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway, and the AWD still gets respectable fuel economy at 19 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. The Palisade's 38.7-foot turning circle is also impressive for a three-row SUV. With an 18.8-gallon fuel tank, the Palisade's maximum driving range per fill-up is just over 450 miles.
Exterior
We would forgive you for thinking the Palisade must be a European luxury SUV when you see its profile. The long design with chrome accents and spiral-style wheels looks classy. A few more aggressive elements, like a Sportback rear with a spoiler and the distinct front end with race car-style coves, give the Palisade a different vibe. The grille's thick T-shaped design features a block pattern. The headlamps also form the arms of the T in the design. You can also order the Palisade in a blackout package for the grille and wheels. The Palisade has 7.9 inches of ground clearance, making it good for typical off-road activities around Medina.
Interior
The Palisade's interior strikes an intriguing balance in the battle between trim accents and minimalism for Strongsville and Berea drivers. The long and narrow dashboard offers a simple look with light silver accents, leaving you to focus on the considerable digital instrument cluster and touchscreen display. You can select seating materials from cloth, H-Tex or leather, too. Total seating is either seven or eight occupants, depending on the trim level. The rear cargo space is 18 cubic feet, but you can expand it by putting down the rear seating rows to get 86.4 cubic feet.
Technology
A 12.3-inch infotainment display sets the tone for the technologies in the Palisade. It supports HD and satellite radio. The system also integrates locally available data streams to provide live navigation, traffic, and accident information. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto also connect the infotainment system to your phone.
Safety
Hyundai brings a similar level of technology to the safety setup with blind-spot, rear cross-traffic, and lane-following systems. The forward collision mitigation system also includes pedestrian detection. Hillstart assistance is standard, too. The top trim even includes a remote smart parking system.
Trims
The SE trim offers a good base with all the standard features if you're looking at the most affordable option. It also includes side mirrors with heating and automatic dimming.
Your first upgrade option is the SEL. It has power-adjustable and heated front seats, a hands-free power liftgate, and a wireless charger. The second row also includes captain's chair seats.
The XRT trim is a style package with dark exterior trim elements, black roof rails, side sunshades, and a power sunroof. You also get 20-inch wheels.
Hyundai's Limited trim for the Palisade offers leather upholstery, rain-sensing wipers, ambient interior lighting, and a dual-pane sunroof. Long-legged people will enjoy the thigh cushion extension for the driver's seat.
The Calligraphy is the top trim with a massaging driver's seat, Nappa leather, and quilted leather door paneling. The Calligraphy Night Edition also has premium seats, a dark chrome trim package, 20-inch black wheels, and a heads-up display.
