2025 Hyundai Palisade SEL

The 2025 Palisade is Hyundai's largest SUV, a three-row family hauler that slots above the Santa Fe. It competes with the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Grand Highlander in the crowded three-row segment. The V6 pulls strongly from a stop and cruises quietly, though the transmission can hesitate when you need quick passing power. The ride is composed and well controlled over most surfaces, with a soft edge that suits family duty. Inside, the Palisade offers a spacious, quiet cabin with available captain's chairs and plenty of room for adults in all three rows. The SEL adds the hands-free smart liftgate, heated front seats, and a 12.3-inch navigation screen over the base SE. The 3.8L V6 makes 291 horsepower and works through an eight-speed automatic, with all-wheel drive getting 21 mpg combined.
