Hyundai styling is very uneven, it ranges from the radical Tucson and Elantra, to a Porsche 911-theme in the Ionic 6 and baroque, as shown by the current Palisade.  Inside, the driver faces a computer tablet with vehicle and infotainment sectors. The rest of the cabin is elegant and constructed from attractive components. Room in the first two rows is ample and the seats are comfortable. Third-row seating is competitive in terms of space and comfort, as is cargo space.  A 3.8L V6, with an Atkinson cycle combustion process, which is generally seen in hybrid vehicles, is the sole powerplant available. Power reaches all wheels via an eight speed automatic transmission. Towing capacity is stated to be 2268 kilograms.

The base Preferred, with blind spot and rear cross traffic monitors, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, a lane-keep assist system, a roof rack, L.E.D. headlights, power front seats, heated first and second-row seats, a sunroof, navigation and a rear self-levelling strut, is nicely equipped. The Urban trim adds a TFT gauge package, a Harmon-Kardon audio system, an in-car intercom, a power-fold second-row seat, a 360 degree camera system, a right side camera view system, a foot-gesture-operated tailgate, front parking sonar and ventilated front seats, but is overpriced. Buyers can pick second-row captain seats on the Urban trim for an extra $500. The Ultimate Calligraphy, which adds Nappa leather, a head up display system, a second-row fixed glass roof panel, wireless cellphone charging, self-stopping in reverse, ventilated middle row seats, remote parking, limited self-driving and more luxurious trim, is a fantastic bargain. At the end of 2023, Palisade delivery times were about eight months.

Average reliability predicted during the warranty period. Hyundai’s V6 engines have not suffered from the failures common on the 2L and 2.4L fours, but some issues have been reported on the 3.3L V6 engine used in vehicles such as the Santa Fe XL and Kia Sorento.
