Performance
With its 3.8-liter V6 engine, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade delivers a potent dose of power for hauling, towing, and cruising the highway. Connected to a shift-by-wire eight-speed automatic transmission, the Palisade’s engine puts out 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. It’s also rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Despite the Palisade’s large size, it handles smoothly (thanks to an independent multilink rear suspension) and reliably (especially when equipped with available HTRAC all-wheel drive).
Exterior Features
The 2020 Palisade’s exterior offers striking style — and more. Every trim comes equipped with helpful features like LED Daytime Running Lights, pre-wiring for a trailer, a rear window wiper and washer, and privacy glass. Higher trims add options like door handle welcome lights, LED headlights and taillights, roof rails, and a hands-free smart liftgate for easier loading and cargo bay access.
Interior Features
The 2020 Palisade’s versatile, spacious interior can handle a crowd of passengers, a load of cargo, or both. The Palisade is available in either a seven-passenger or eight-passenger configuration, with a power-folding and one-touch sliding second row, a 60/40 split-folding third row, and available heated and ventilated seats. The Palisade’s cargo capacity is 18 cubic feet behind the third row, 45.8 cubic feet behind the second row, and 86.4 feet behind the third row. Interior amenities include underfloor storage; second- and third-row HVAC controls; and available features like ambient LED interior lighting, leather trim, and dual-zone automatic temperature control.
