Hyundai Palisade Vs. The Competition
See How the New Hyundai Palisade Compares to Its Competitors in Hendersonville, TN
Three-row SUVs are great for growing families or anyone who needs roomy seating and storage. The Hyundai Palisade stands out from other midsize SUVs because of its refined cabin, gentle ride, and abundance of user-friendly tech features. Other three-row models such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee L, 2025 Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Volkswagen Atlas are close contenders, but they're not as well-rounded as the Palisade. At Hallmark Hyundai in Hendersonville, TN, we want you to be completely pleased with your SUV purchase, so we've put forth the following comparisons to show you how the Palisade stacks up against its rivals.

Hyundai Palisade vs. Jeep Grand Cherokee L
The Hyundai Palisade and the Jeep Grand Cherokee L both have six-cylinder engines, but the Palisade's powertrain generates 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, while the Grand Cherokee L's engine makes 293 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. The extra two pound-feet of torque gives the Palisade a bit more zip for merging onto highways in Nashville. It can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds when properly equipped. It takes the Grand Cherokee L 8.0 seconds to reach 60 mph from a standstill.
Hyundai Palisade vs. Honda Pilot
A well-equipped infotainment system can keep the whole family engaged and entertained on long journeys from Lebanon, TN. The Hyundai Palisade comes standard with a high-end system that includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and an integrated navigation system. The 2025 Honda Pilot's standard setup only has a 7.0-inch touchscreen and support for Apple Carplay and Android Auto. You must buy a higher trim to get navigation.
Hyundai Palisade vs. Toyota Highlander
If you often carry kid's toys, suitcases, or camping supplies in your SUV, the Hyundai Palisade has room for it all. Franklin, TN drivers appreciate that the Palisade has 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the third row, 45.8 cubic feet with the third row folded down, and 86.4 cubic feet of room with both the second and third rows folded. The Toyota Highlander maxes out at 84.3 cubic feet of cargo space, with only 16 cubic feet of room behind the rearmost seats.
Hyundai Palisade vs. Volkswagen Atlas
The Hyundai Palisade has been named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Its wide array of standard driver assistance features includes rear parking sensors, which alert you to obstacles that may not be visible behind the SUV for easier parking in Murfreesboro, TN. The Volkswagen Atlas also earns good safety ratings, but you must pay more for a higher trim to add rear parking sensors.
