It can be challenging to decide between 2025 Hyundai Palisade vs. 2024 Hyundai Palisade SUVs, partially because this three-row SUV design has carried over mostly unchanged since the last model year. Having just seen a substantial revamp in 2023 and gained the Calligraphy Night Edition trim in 2024, it’s still embracing its new, elegant look. However, there have been some updates, which we will discuss below. You can also stop by Jim Ellis Hyundai to talk to our team and compare different versions in person.
Like its 2024 and 2023 predecessors, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade utilizes a 291-horsepower, 3.8-liter V-6 engine and can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped with trailer brakes. Both front- and all-wheel-drive configurations are available, depending on how you prefer to tackle the road, although we recommend AWD if you’re interested in Downhill Brake Control.
How big is this 2025 SUV? That’s often a question we get from those looking to accommodate a large family. People are often impressed by its dimensions:
These numbers are almost identical to the 2024 model’s specs, which measures 196.7 inches long and has a 7.9-inch maximum ground clearance. Contact us to learn more about this vehicle’s spacious dimensions or take a tour of the well-appointed cabin.
The 2024 Hyundai Palisade release brought drivers the following trims:
The biggest shake-up to this lineup for 2025 is the addition of the SEL Premium trim between the XRT and Limited. This mid-tier model seats seven people standard, with an optional eighth seat, and also comes with four-way lumbar support for the driver’s seat, heated and ventilated first and second rows, and dual third-row USB-C outlets for phone charging.
Some other amenities have also jumped places. For instance, while comparing most 2025 Palisade vs. 2024 Palisade technology shows your access to driver-assistance and infotainment systems is very similar, Surround View Monitoring and Front Parking Sensors are now standard on the XRT trim. They join other impressive safety features, including:
We certainly weren’t surprised when the 2024 Hyundai Palisade was acknowledged as an IIHS Top Safety Pick.1 We expect the 2025 model to do well, too, given how similar these two vehicles are, but it has yet to be evaluated as of this writing.
Overall, you’ll find that this vehicle balances luxury touches with driver support and convenience features to provide you with great value for your investment.
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is largely the same as its predecessor. The 2025 model is very slightly shorter but with a slightly higher ground clearance when the going gets a little rough. There is, however, a brand-new trim: the SEL Premium, with four-way lumbar support for the driver, heating and ventilation in the first- and second-row seats, and two third-row USB-C outlets for device charging.
