2025 Hyundai Palisade XRT

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 XRT drops some Limited luxury features for a tougher look with blacked-out trim and unique wheels, saving you several thousand dollars. Its 3.8L V6 makes 291 horsepower and pairs with a eight-speed automatic for smooth, quiet highway cruising, though 22 mpg combined is typical for a big V6.
