Hyundai is known for making affordable SUVs and sedans that are both practical and enjoyable to drive, and the 2022 Hyundai Palisade is no different. Perfect for those who desire a comfortable, spacious, and powerful multipurpose SUV, there’s little that the newest Hyundai Palisade doesn’t have, making it among the best in its class. Before you buy your Hyundai Palisade, you might be curious about the SUV’s trims, including its specs and features. At Koons Woodbridge Hyundai, we’ve put together a guide to help you uncover the trim that best suits your unique needs.
The SE Trim Level
The base SE trim level of the Hyundai Palisade delivers impressive value with plenty of standard technology, a roomy third row, and a V-6 engine that produces 291 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Included are 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with automatic high beams to make driving at night easier, LED daytime running lights, and heated outboard mirrors with turn signal indicators to help keep visibility clear in rainy or snowy conditions.
The SE also includes plenty of infotainment to keep passengers entertained, boasting an 8-inch touchscreen, a six-speaker audio system, an HD radio, and a whopping seven USB ports. Also included are Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which operate the most important functions of your smartphone, ensuring you can drive safer and still stay connected to the outside world.
The safety features are where the Palisade really shines, with the SE trim including rear parking sensors to make parking easier, automated emergency braking, lane-keep assist, lane-follow assist, blind-spot collision-avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, safe exit assist, and adaptive cruise control with stop and go included. The steering wheel contains haptic technology, which provides a tactile alert to the driver and is combined with the lane-keep assist and other alerts.
If you choose to go with the all-wheel-drive option, you can add downhill brake assist and a snow mode that’s especially useful when it comes to navigating the occasional snowy conditions in Virginia. Hill-start assist is another particularly useful feature. It automatically activates when your Palisade is on a hill, functioning to prevent you from rolling back before you accelerate.
Besides the safety features, the SE trim offers extra storage space under the floor, a power liftgate, power windows, illuminated vanity mirrors, map lights, a cargo light, and a handful of other useful interior features. With room for a total of eight passengers, the SE trim has much to offer.
The SEL Trim Level
The next level of trim is the SEL trim, seating seven passengers with the option to seat eight. The third row is spacious enough for the average adult passenger and comes in a few excellent option packages. Building on the SE trim, the SEL adds and replaces a number of features to improve both driving quality and overall accessibility. An eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat adds to the interior, improving the driver’s comfort level and providing plenty of lumbar support. Heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and second-row climate controls also help improve the Palisade’s comfortability.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel can help to improve your grip, and the proximity key allows for an easy remote start. Also included is an auto-dimming rearview mirror with HomeLink, which helps to improve driver safety by automatically dimming distracting light from other vehicles. LED interior lights help to improve visibility in interior spaces and can help you conserve energy inside your Palisade. A sunroof is another popular feature added in the SEL, providing an extra window and plenty of fresh air. The added roof rails help to give your Palisade a sleeker, more aerodynamic look and feel.
The SEL’s Convenience Package includes 20-inch alloy wheels, self-leveling rear suspension, front parking sensors, a smart liftgate, wireless device charging, and LED taillights to provide extra visibility. The Premium Package provides comfortable leather seating, heated second-row seats, a navigation system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, and a power folding-reclining third-row seat for extra cargo space. With the Trailering Package, you can more easily haul boats, trailers, and heavy off-road equipment.
The Limited Trim Level
The Limited trim provides all of the standard features of the SEL in addition to what’s included in the Convenience and Premium packages. It also adds rain-sensing wipers designed to improve driver visibility amid heavy rainfall. With ventilated front seats and heated and ventilated second-row seats, both passengers and drivers can feel comfortable and conserve energy by lessening the need to turn on the heater. Nappa leather seating adds to the luxury feel and stylish interior, and a full-color head-up display helps project key information, like speed, driver warnings, and navigation commands right onto the windshield.
A 360-degree surround-view monitor, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon surround-sound audio system, ambient lighting in 64 colors, and driver’s seat power thigh support also add to the practicality and comfortability. Seating seven total passengers and coming in with standard 20-inch wheels, the Limited is well-equipped with an abundance of great features.
The Calligraphy Trim Level
The Calligraphy trim seats seven and builds on the already-packed Limited and includes all-wheel drive, upgraded 20-inch alloy wheels, puddle lamps designed to illuminate the ground underneath the Palisade’s front door, a special grille, exclusive front and rear fascias, quilted leather door panels for an even more luxurious look, and a perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel. Premium tail lamp accent lighting provides additional safety by improving visibility in addition to adding to the Calligraphy’s stylish appearance.
A microfiber suede headliner and a unique wheel design also add to the look, distinguishing the Calligraphy from other trims. Like the Limited, the Calligraphy comes standard with an array of features designed to keep you comfortable, including a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, climate control, and a sunroof with sunshades.
