The Hyundai Palisade is a mid-size, three-row family SUV that's available with all-wheel-drive.
I recently reviewed a fully-loaded Palisade SUV in Calligraphy trim.

The Hyundai Palisade is one of the most popular and critically acclaimed three-row family SUVs on sale today.

The Palisade launched back in 2019 alongside its corporate sister, the Kia Telluride, and received an update in 2023 with fresh tech and styling to help it remain competitive.

I recently reviewed a $52,000 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD. It proved to be one of the most impressive SUVs of its type I'd ever driven. I was blown away by the Palisade Calligraphy's premium cabin, smooth engine, and advanced tech.

Here's a closer look at some of my favorite features.

I tried Starbucks' new boba-inspired summer drinks. They looked stunning, but one was really lacking in flavor, and I wouldn't pick them over real boba.
