What’s New With the 2021 Hyundai Palisade?

Oct 22, 2020

Luxurious, modern, and bold, the new 2021 Hyundai Palisade is the three-row midsize SUV you’ll love to drive. While the Palisade has been a favorite three-row luxury SUV since 2018, the 2021 version has several upgrades that are sure to delight car buyers. Learn about the key features that make the 2021 Hyundai Palisade such an appealing car.

Exquisite Exterior Styling

You’ll be awestruck when you see the Palisade. The aggressive front grille, sleek LED headlights, and sweeping front to rear design give this car a contemporary, elegant look. It comes in four trim levels: the SE, SEL, Limited, and the new top-tier Calligraphy. Eighteen-inch alloy wheels come standard on the lower trims, though you can get 20-inch wheels standard on the Limited and Calligraphy trims with the addition of the Convenience Package.

Solid Powertrain

Under the hood of every 2021 Palisade is a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that produces 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. This engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission and standard front-wheel drive. The Calligraphy trim comes standard with all-wheel drive, which is optional on the lower trims. The Palisade handles well on twists and turns and has great acceleration when getting onto the freeway and passing cars. When properly equipped, the Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds.

Elegant Interior

With three rows of seats, the base trim has plenty of room for eight. The three upper trims gain captain’s chairs and seat seven. The Palisade’s 155.3 cubic feet of passenger volume provide space for everyone. Plus, you still have 18 to 86.4 cubic feet of cargo space to hold luggage, depending on how you configure the seats. The power-folding three-row seat adds flexible storage options.

Cloth or simulated leather seats come standard on the SE, SEL, and Limited. With the Convenience and Premium Packages, you can get power-adjustable heated, ventilated seats, heated second-row seats, and leather upholstery. Quilted-leather door inserts and a microfiber headliner come standard on the Calligraphy, along with a dual-pane sunroof, configurable ambient lighting, and a head-up display.

Innovative Technology

One of the best technology upgrades to the 2021 Palisade is wireless smartphone integration across all trims. Every vehicle gets Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. An 8-inch touch screen comes standard, while the Calligraphy gets a 10.25-inch touch screen and navigation system. Several USB ports let you charge multiple devices, and you can upgrade to a 12-speaker Harman Kardon speaker system, which comes standard on the Calligraphy trim. Make speaking to the passengers in the back of the Palisade a breeze with the in-car intercom.

Safety Features

For 2021, the Palisade gains trailer prewiring, which expands from a four-pin design to a sturdier seven-pin one. Hyundai’s SmartSense bundle of driver safety features on all trims includes forward-collision warning with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keep assist, and a lane-departure warning. You also get automatic high-beam headlights and adaptive cruise control.
