2024 Hyundai Palisade SUV Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is a three-row midsize SUV available in five trims: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy. All are powered by a 3.8-liter V6 (291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional for all trims. A second-row bench seat with seating for eight is standard on the SE and optional for the SEL. The SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy come with second-row captain's chairs that reduce capacity to seven. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Palisade's significant standard features by trim level.

SE
Starts off with:

  • 18-inch alloy wheels
  • LED headlights
  • Proximity entry and push-button start
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital key system (allows you to use your smartphone as the vehicle's key)
  • Auto-dimming side mirrors
  • Height-adjustable driver's seat
  • Second-row bench seats with power seatback folding (eight-passenger capacity)

The Palisade is also equipped with many driving aids, including:

  • Forward collision warning with automatic braking (warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain scenarios)
  • Lane keeping assistance (steers the Palisade back into its lane if it begins to drift over the lane marker)
  • Rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the vehicle when parking)
  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Hyundai and the car in front)
  • Blind-spot warning with rear cross-traffic warning (alerts you if a vehicle is in your blind spot during a lane change or while in reverse)

SEL
Adds more desirable features, such as:

  • Synthetic leather upholstery
  • Roof rails
  • Proximity keyless entry and push-button ignition
  • Hands-free liftgate
  • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
  • Power-adjustable front seats
  • Heated front seats
  • Wireless smartphone charging pad
  • Second-row captain's chairs (seven-passenger capacity; the bench seat is a no-cost option)

One big feature package is available for the SEL:

  • 360-degree camera system (gives you a top-down view of the Palisade and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Blind-spot camera (displays an image of the vehicle's blind spot in the instrument panel when the turn signal is activated)

Which Palisade trim does Edmunds recommend?

For a relatively small upcharge over the base SE, the SEL comes with several desirable upgrades such as synthetic leather upholstery, heated front seats and a hands-free liftgate. Splurging for the Premium package adds even more comfort and convenience, including ventilated seats and driver assist features such as a 360-degree camera system to make tight maneuvers more manageable.
