2027 Hyundai Palisade Model Review

The 2027 Hyundai Palisade offers two powertrain options designed to meet different driving preferences. The standard 3.5-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It works with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering a smooth driving experience suited to daily commutes and longer highway trips. When properly equipped, the gas-powered Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Drivers interested in additional efficiency can explore the available turbocharged hybrid powertrain. It pairs a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with dual electric motors to produce a combined 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid is rated to tow up to 4,000 pounds while offering improved fuel economy compared with the V6 model.

Front-wheel drive comes standard on the Palisade, while Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel drive system is available. All-wheel drive can be helpful when road conditions become challenging, and equipped models include a dedicated tow mode. For drivers who want a more rugged appearance and additional capability, the XRT Pro features a lifted suspension, extra ground clearance, and selectable terrain modes for mud, sand, and snow. Across the lineup, the Palisade emphasizes a comfortable ride rather than sporty handling.

Inside, the Palisade is designed to accommodate families, passengers, and everyday cargo. Its three-row layout provides seating for up to eight with the standard second-row bench. Available second-row captain's chairs reduce seating capacity to seven while providing a more individual seating arrangement. The front row offers generous space, and convenient touches throughout the cabin help make daily travel more comfortable.

Depending on the trim, available features include a power-adjustable third row, wireless smartphone charging, USB-C charging ports, a digital rear-view mirror, and additional comfort amenities. Upper trims offer especially refined materials and finishes, creating a premium atmosphere for both drivers and passengers.

Cargo space is practical for shopping trips, luggage, and family gear. The Palisade provides approximately 18 to 19.1 cubic feet behind the third row. Folding the third row opens up around 46.3 cubic feet, while folding all rear seats provides up to 86.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity. This flexibility makes it easier to balance passenger seating with the space you need for larger items.

Technology is another important part of the Palisade experience. The cabin features dual 12.3-inch displays, including a digital instrument cluster and a central touchscreen for infotainment functions. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto make it convenient to connect compatible smartphones, access navigation, and enjoy your favorite music.

Available camera technology, including a comprehensive surround-view camera system, can also help when parking or maneuvering in tighter spaces. Combined with available driver-assistance features, these technologies add convenience and confidence to everyday driving.

The 2027 Hyundai Palisade brings together three-row passenger space, flexible cargo capacity, two powertrain choices, and a range of comfort and technology features.
