2020 Hyundai Palisade Limited

The 2020 Palisade is Hyundai's flagship three-row SUV, slotting above the Santa Fe and competing with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Telluride. The V6 pulls strongly and the transmission shifts smoothly, making the big SUV feel more eager than its size suggests. The ride is composed and quiet on the highway, though the suspension is tuned firm enough that sharp bumps come through. The cabin is roomy for seven or eight, with comfortable seats, plenty of cargo space, and high-quality materials throughout. Standard SmartSense safety tech includes forward collision warning, lane keeping assist, and driver attention warning, with available blind spot monitoring. The Limited is the top Palisade trim, so you get everything from the SEL plus Nappa leather, ventilated second-row captain's chairs, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system. The 3.8L V6 makes 291 horsepower and pairs with a smooth eight-speed automatic, and with all-wheel drive it returns 21 mpg combined.
