Powertrain and Trims
The 2021 Hyundai Palisade is a full-sized SUV with seating for seven or eight people, depending on whether the middle row is set up with two captain’s chairs or a bench seat for three people. There are four trim versions available: Limited, Calligraphy, SEL, and SE. Each is equipped with an eight-speed automated transmission and a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The Calligraphy has standard all-wheel drive (available for the other trims), while the most of trims come with front-wheel drive. According to EPA estimates, the FWD models get 19 city and 26 highway mpg, while the AWD models get 19 city and 24 highway mpg. Apart from offering a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage and an industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain guarantee, Hyundai also provides a complimentary 3-year/36,000-mile maintenance plan that includes tire rotations, multi-point inspections, and oil and filter changes.

SEL and SE
You could forget that the SE is the base trim because it comes with so many appealing standard features. The exterior has heated side mirrors, LED headlights, and 18-inch wheels. An infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming capability, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, five USB ports, a second-row bench seat that can accommodate up to eight passengers, and Rear Seat Quiet Mode that mutes the speakers in the second and third rows are all included inside. An outstanding array of active safety features is also incorporated, including adaptive cruise control, rear occupant alert, lane keeping and following assistance, forward collision avoidance aid with pedestrian detection, a driver attention monitor, and rear parking sensors.
Roof rails, a moonroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless entry and ignition, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and second-row captain’s chairs reduce the seating to seven (although buyers can opt for a bench seat instead). Additionally, there is a rear cross-traffic alert, a blind-spot monitor, and safe exit assistance.
Additionally, the SEL qualifies for the Convenience and Premium packages. A hands-free liftgate, an auto-leveling rear suspension, LED taillights, 20-inch wheels, front parking sensors, a wireless smartphone charger, a 115-volt power outlet, third-row USB connections, and rear side-window sunshades are all included in the Convenience Package. Highway drive assist, leather upholstery, an in-car PA system, a heated steering wheel, memory functions for the driver’s seat, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, heated second-row seats, an infotainment system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, satellite and HD radio, navigation, and power-folding third-row seats are all included in the Premium Package, which also includes the features found in the Convenience Package.
