2025 Hyundai Palisade SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is a three-row midsize SUV available in seven trims: SE, SEL, XRT, SEL Premium, Limited, Calligraphy and Calligraphy Night. All are powered by a 3.8-liter V6 (291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive optional for all trims except for the Calligraphy Night — it has standard AWD. A second-row bench seat that provides seating for eight is standard on the SE and optional for the SEL Premium. The SEL, XRT, Limited and both Calligraphy trims come with second-row captain's chairs that reduce seating to seven. Keep reading for our breakdown of the Palisade's notable standard features.
Which Palisade trim does Edmunds recommend?
The SEL offers excellent value because it comes well equipped with some appealing features but is still relatively affordable. However, if you want a second-row bench seat for eight-passenger seating, you can downgrade to the more affordable base SE trim or upgrade to the loaded SEL Premium for a reasonable upcharge.
