Come discover why families throughout the south suburbs are making Watson Family Hyundai their destination for this remarkable SUV.
The Hyundai Palisade stands as the flagship three-row SUV in Hyundai’s lineup, and it earns that distinction at every turn. Built on a robust platform and powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, the Palisade delivers confident power whether you’re merging onto I-80 or navigating the busy streets of the Chicagoland area. Paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, the Palisade handles Illinois winters with ease while maintaining the composed, smooth ride that makes every drive enjoyable.
Inside, the Palisade comfortably seats up to eight passengers in three rows of thoughtfully designed space. Second-row passengers enjoy generous legroom and comfort features that make long drives feel effortless, while third-row occupants aren’t forgotten — there’s real, usable space back there. When adventure calls, the Palisade is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, making it equally capable for weekend getaways and daily family duties. With up to 86.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity behind the front seats, you’ll never have to leave anything behind.
Every new Palisade comes standard with Hyundai’s SmartSense suite of advanced safety technologies, a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, tri-zone automatic climate control, and six USB-C ports distributed across all three rows. From its sweeping exterior lines to its thoughtful, family-focused interior, the Palisade is designed to impress — and to perform. Browse our full new inventory and see the Palisade alongside every other model we carry.
The Hyundai Palisade lineup offers a well-defined range of trims, each adding meaningful upgrades that cater to different lifestyles and priorities. Whether you’re drawn to value, rugged style, or luxury, there’s a Palisade configuration perfectly suited for you.
The SE serves as the ideal entry point into the Palisade family, offering a genuinely impressive suite of features without compromise. Standard equipment includes the 3.5-liter V6 engine, a dual 12.3-inch curved digital display combining the instrument cluster and infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Hyundai Digital Key 2 for smartphone-based vehicle access. The SE also includes Hyundai’s full SmartSense safety package — covering Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist — as standard equipment on every single model. LED exterior lighting, 18-inch alloy wheels, and tri-zone automatic climate control round out a trim that delivers outstanding value for growing families.
Stepping up to the SEL brings a meaningful collection of comfort and convenience upgrades that make everyday driving noticeably more enjoyable. The SEL adds heated front seats with leatherette seating surfaces, an 8-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, a wireless device charging pad, and Hyundai’s convenient Digital Key 2 Premium for enhanced smartphone connectivity. Dual-zone automatic temperature control is expanded to a more refined system, and the SEL pairs beautifully with available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive for all-season confidence. For drivers who want a well-rounded, feature-rich Palisade with a balance of affordability and refinement, the SEL represents an especially strong choice for families across the south suburbs.
The XRT trim is built for drivers who want their three-row family SUV to make a statement. Its aggressive exterior sets it apart immediately — a blacked-out front grille, dark exterior accents, XRT-exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, and bold badging give the Palisade an athletic, adventure-ready presence. Inside, XRT-embossed headrests and unique stitching patterns reinforce the rugged character theme throughout the cabin. Standard HTRAC All-Wheel Drive ensures the XRT lives up to its look, while the full suite of SmartSense safety technology keeps every journey protected. The XRT is the perfect choice for drivers who want the Palisade’s acclaimed three-row versatility wrapped in an exterior that commands attention on every road.
The Calligraphy is the pinnacle of the Palisade lineup, delivering a near-luxury experience at a fraction of true luxury SUV prices. Quilted Premium Nappa leather seating surfaces, a massaging driver’s seat with thigh extension, heated and ventilated front and second-row seats, and a power tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof define the cabin’s elevated character. Second-row captain’s chairs feature a Relaxation Mode that tilts the cushion, reclines the seatback, and deploys a thigh support for maximum passenger comfort on long drives. A UV sterilization compartment, microfiber headliner, Bose premium audio system, and remote smart parking assist round out a trim that truly pampers everyone on board. For families who want the very best the Palisade has to offer, the Calligraphy delivers a first-class experience every time you get behind the wheel.

The Hyundai Palisade is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain delivers smooth, confident performance whether you’re navigating city streets or highway driving. Available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive enhances all-weather capability, making the Palisade a particularly strong choice for Illinois drivers who face varied seasonal conditions. A Palisade Hybrid option is also available for drivers seeking enhanced fuel efficiency alongside increased horsepower.
The Hyundai Palisade accommodates up to eight passengers when configured with the standard second-row bench seat. For families who prefer the added comfort and flexibility of individual seats, an optional second-row captain’s chair configuration is available, which seats seven passengers total. All three rows of seating are designed with genuine comfort in mind — the third row offers real, usable space for adults and older children, not just a fold-flat storage option. Tri-zone automatic climate control ensures every row of passengers stays comfortable regardless of the season.
Every Hyundai Palisade comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense — one of the most comprehensive standard safety packages in the segment. Included on every trim are Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Parking Distance Warning. These technologies work together seamlessly in the background to help keep you, your passengers, and everyone around you safer on every drive. Hyundai’s commitment to safety as a standard — not an optional — feature is one of the key reasons the Palisade consistently earns top safety ratings.
When properly equipped with a trailer brake controller, the Hyundai Palisade is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. This capability makes the Palisade well-suited for towing a boat to one of Illinois’s many lakes, pulling a camper trailer for a family adventure, or hauling a utility trailer for weekend projects. The Palisade’s V6 engine and available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system work in tandem to provide a stable, confident towing experience. If you have specific towing requirements, our team at Watson Family Hyundai is happy to help identify the right Palisade configuration for your needs.
