2024 Hyundai Palisade XRT

The 2024 Palisade is Hyundai's three-row flagship SUV, slotting above the Santa Fe and competing with the Honda Pilot and Kia Telluride. The V6 pulls strongly from low speeds, and the transmission shifts seamlessly, making the Palisade feel more eager than its size suggests. The ride is composed and quiet on highways, though the suspension can feel firm over sharp bumps; that is the trade-off for its stable handling. The cabin is roomy for seven or eight, with comfortable seats in all rows and generous cargo space behind the third row. Standard tech includes a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver assists. The XRT skips the Limited's leather and extra tech to give you rugged styling and standard all-wheel drive for less money. The 3.8L V6 makes 291 horsepower and pairs with the eight-speed automatic, and with all-wheel drive you get sure-footed traction in rain or snow. The XRT's dark exterior trim and roof rails are exclusive to this trim, giving it a more off-road-ready look than other Palisades.
