Looking for a Hyundai with room for the whole family? Hyundai offers buyers who need the flexibility of a third-row seat the upscale Palisade SUV. And, while there are no wrong answers when it comes to picking a Hyundai, this article is here to help you find the best Hyundai with third-row seating to meet your family’s needs.

Ask Yourself Some Real Questions

As with any other question of “what’s best”, the answer can be quite different from person to person. Are you looking for the least expensive option possible to shuttle the kids around, or do you need the capability and cargo space only a large SUV can offer? There are logistical questions, too. If you need the flexibility of eight-passenger seating, then a Palisade configured with a six or seven-passenger seating option just will not do. Here are some questions you’ll want to keep in mind:

  • How many seats do I need?
  • What features are important to me?
  • When and where will I be driving my new Hyundai?

Finally, you’ll want to ask yourself if you need or want the added security of Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system. It’s available on every Hyundai Palisade trim level.

Understanding what your needs truly are will help you “dial in” on the right vehicle — and you may just be surprised at how much you will love that new Hyundai Palisade that is exactly right for you.

Palisade SE – Great Value and Room for Eight

If you’re looking to maximize value, the eight-passenger Hyundai Palisade SE may be the best option for you. And just because it’s the “standard” Palisade offering, doesn’t mean it’s not “loaded” with great features you’ll appreciate.

The Palisade SE starts at just $32,675 (before taxes and fees, of course), but comes standard with a powerful, fuel-efficient 3.8L GDI V6 engine that offers a stout 291 HP and 26 MPG on the highway. You will also get an eight-inch, full-color touchscreen display that’s ready to work with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto at no additional charge.

You won’t be missing out on the latest safety technology, either. The new Hyundai Palisade SE offers anti-lock brakes, seven airbags, and traction control to help keep you steady on slick or rainy roads. It also comes with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FCA-Ped) as standard equipment, which can help you stay safe, even during the loudest family sing-alongs.

Those big family sing-alongs might get louder than you think, too, thanks to Palisade SE’s standard eight-passenger seating. That’s two captain’s chairs up front, three-wide seating in the middle, and third-row benches. You won’t be giving up cargo space, either — even with the third row up, there’s still 18 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats!

So, if you need the ability to shuttle up to eight people wherever they need to go, want to cover the basics like power windows and climate control but still have safe access to your mobile device’s connectivity and streaming features, plan on driving just about every day, and need to be able to haul around backpacks, sports gear, and groceries, the Palisade SE may be the Hyundai for you. And if you need to be able to haul around even more stuff, you can add the Hyundai Accessory tow hitch and tow up to 5,000 lbs. behind your SE!

Palisade SEL – 2nd Row Captain’s Chairs and a Sunroof

The Hyundai Palisade SEL comes with all the same great features as the SE, but gives buyers the option to replace the second-row bench seat with captain’s chairs. Those captain’s chairs make it a bit easier for kids to access the third-row bench and offer a bit of separation — which can really come in clutch during long family road trips.

Selecting the second-row captain’s chairs drops the total seating capacity of the Palisade SEL to seven, but the added comfort of the eight-way adjustable power driver’s seat, and Power tilt-and-slide sunroof, that are standard on the SEL will make you forget all about that. The SEL also adds Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BCA) to its list of standard features, which you’ll really appreciate on a busy commute.

If you want the added comfort of captain’s chairs and the eight-way adjustable seat, or just love to look up through the sunroof, you might want to give the Palisade SEL a look.

Palisade Limited – Napa Leather and the Latest Tech

If your idea of “a nice car” includes things like perforated Napa leather seating, the visual impact of a 12.3” fully digital instrument cluster, and the open-air feeling of big, dual sunroofs, then a new Hyundai Palisade Limited may be the best choice for you.

The Limited features all the safety features of the SEL and adds a digital Heads-up Display (HUD) that projects critical information like vehicle speed, local speed limits, turn-by-turn navigation directions, and more. The HUD can help drivers keep their eyes on the road ahead, reducing distractions that naturally come from looking for information across several screens.

Limited buyers will also enjoy a smoother ride, thanks to the auto-leveling suspension that’s standard at this trim level. Rear side-window sunshades, a hands-free smart liftgate with auto-open, front parking sensors, and wireless device charging for Qi-supported devices round out the Limited’s upscale list of standard features.

Limited buyers are, well, limited to a seven-passenger seating configuration, but all seven passengers will receive a premium experience every time they’re in the vehicle.

Palisade Calligraphy – When Nothing But the Best Will Do

When you want the best, not just the best with third-row seating, you want the Palisade Calligraphy. The Calligraphy trim level takes everything from the Limited model and adds premium front and rear fascias for an upscale styling upgrade, 20-inch alloy wheels, and makes Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system standard.

Inside the Calligraphy, quilted leather interior door panels and a microfiber headliner elevate the cabin environment and help to set this vehicle apart not just from other Palisade trims, but from everything else on the road. This is Hyundai’s flagship offering, and you might just be surprised how well it compares to anything else on the road — at any price!

That’s a brief overview of all four of the available Hyundai Palisade trim levels. By now, you probably have a better idea of which Palisade trim level may be right for you, so let a Hyundai professional from Koons Woodbridge Hyundai help find it in just the right color, and at just the right price, today!

Across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., lies historic Arlington, Virginia. Home to such important places as the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, and several war and military memorials, Arlington is a must-see stop on any history aficionado’s tour of the capital. As one of the northernmost reaches of the confederacy, Arlington played an important part in the American Civil War, and you’ll find artifacts attesting to its rich history throughout the city.

Theodore Roosevelt Island

This nearly 90-acre piece of land in the Potomac River was converted from overgrown farmland into a living memorial to America’s 26th President, Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt. Though it looks like a wild landscape that developed naturally, Theodore Roosevelt Island was envisioned as a new forest to recreate the natural woods that once grew there. The new design was created by a firm of architects working with Roosevelt’s Civilian Conservation Corps to reshapre the island into what you see today.

The island has a long history. It was used as a training camp by the 1st United States Colored Infantry Regiment in 1863 and later housed formerly enslaved people. It was acquired by the Roosevelt Memorial Foundation in 1931, though it was not until the 1960s that funding was finally provided. The memorial was designed by Eric Gugler and comprises four stone monoliths with Roosevelt quotes, two metal fountains, and a 17-foot centerpiece statue of the former president by sculptor Paul Manship. To reach the island, you must cross a footbridge from Arlington, as no cars or bikes are allowed.

Once on the island, you will find three trails to explore, each named after the habitat they traverse, as well as the memorial plaza. The longest of the trails, at 1.5 miles long, is the Swamp Trail. This trail roughly circles the island, passing through swampy woods and a cattail marsh via gravel paths and boardwalks. The shortest trail is called the Woods Trail and passes through the memorial plaza. That one is just 1/3 of a mile long, while the remaining Upland Trail runs the length of the island and loops around the remains of the historic Mason mansion.

Arlington National Cemetery

Situated on land confiscated from Robert E. Lee’s wife by union troops during the Civil War, the Arlington National Cemetery was founded when 200 acres of the estate were reserved for a cemetery. The first burial was of Private William Christman on May 13, 1864. By the end of the Civil War, thousands of soldiers and former slaves lay buried here. Today, 400,000 military members and family lie at rest here, with more than 3,000 ceremonies and memorial services taking place each year.

The cemetery is open to visitors daily. Some of the attractions include the Memorial Arboretum, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the John F. Kennedy gravesite. The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier sits atop a hill overlooking the Nation’s Capital. In 1921, one of America’s unknown WWI soldiers was symbolically laid to rest here, with more unknown service members added in later years. The tomb is watched over continuously by a group of sentinels know as the Old Guard. The guard is changed over throughout the day in a popular ceremony know as the Changing of the Guard.

As you walk through the cemetery, you’ll find monuments and memorials throughout. The Memorial Arboretum is spread throughout the cemetery in formal and informal landscapes. More than 9,600 trees and 300 varieties of native and exotic species stand as living testaments to the lives that have been lost. At 250 years old, some have been standing there since before the first burial. There are over 140 memorial trees planted to commemorate service members, battles, military units, presidents, and others. Thirty-six trees descended from historic trees have been dedicated to Medal of Honor recipients.

U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial

Dedicated to “the Marine dead of all wars and their comrades of other services who fell fighting beside them,” the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial stands on Arlington Ridge, where you can see the Washington Monument and the Capitol Building beyond. It was envisioned by sculptor Felix W. de Weldon and based on the iconic Pulitzer-winning photograph of the second raising of the American flag on Iwo Jima by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press. The memorial was dedicated by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in a ceremony on the 179th anniversary of the U.S. Marine Corps, November 10th, 1954.

The 32-foot tall figures stand atop a granite base. They are caught in motion, hoisting a 60-foot flagpole above a slope of rocks. The total monument reaches a height of 78 feet from the ground, with the flag flying every day of the year. Around the base is a gold band where you can read the names and dates of every Marine Corps principal engagement since the founding of the corps. The statue is truly monumental. The casting process alone took nearly three years of work by skilled artisans. Once the pieces were completed, they were transported to the Capital to be assembled.

The U.S. Marine Corps Sunset Parade is held on Tuesday evenings during the summer It is free and open to the public, so you can bring a chair and watch from the lawns as the one-hour event unfolds. The parade starts with a performance by “The Commandant’s Own” Drum and Bugle Corps, followed by a march-on of the participating units with flags and a demonstration drill by the U.S. Marine Silent Drill Platoon. Around 200 personnel will participate in the parade, including members of the U.S. Marine Corps Color Guard and the Alpha Company of the longstanding 8th & I garrison, among others.

Arlington, Virginia, plays an important part in this country’s history as well as its present. A trip to D.C. would not be complete without a quick hop across the river to honor the fallen at the National Cemetery and the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial, as well as to appreciate the beauty of nature while honoring one of America’s favorite Presidents, avid outdoorsman Theodore Roosevelt. Have you been to any of the places on this list? Koons Woodbridge Hyundai wants to know which you’re most excited about returning to see again, so drop us a quick line with your thoughts.

Just 20 miles south of Washington, D.C., lies Woodbridge, Virginia, nestled between the Occoquan and Potomac rivers. This beautiful area of wooded hills is home to several parks and natural attractions offering a range of outdoor activities. You will find hiking and walking trails, picnicking spots, and sports facilities, plus you can discover the joys of boating in the Potomac. If you are lucky enough to call Prince William County home, then you’ll want to head out to these parks as the warmer days roll in. 

Veteran’s Memorial Park

This beautiful park in eastern Woodbridge is situated next to the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The park boasts walking trails, a baseball complex, a skate park, an aquatic center, and a duck pond. There are pavilions throughout the park, along with grills, picnic tables, restrooms, and tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts. Whether you like playing sports, picnicking with friends, or sitting and watching the ducks on the pond, you’re sure to have a fun day out for the whole family.

One of the main attractions in Veteran’s Memorial Park is the community center that offers many programs and special events throughout the year. There is a preschool, plus an assortment of programs where children can learn skills and participate in crafts and games. A sports sampler is offered for younger kids, while older children can learn archery or attend camps for skating, golf, and pickleball. The community center’s gym even has open days for sports and dance classes. You can rent the gym for events of up to 150 people, and other rooms are available for smaller gatherings.

Several sports leagues call the park home, including ones for softball, Little League, football, soccer, basketball, and swim. The 50-meter outdoor pool has preschool swimming classes and two-story slides for the more adventurous. A bathhouse and concessions are available nearby. Within the park, you’ll also find the Scott D. Eagles Skatepark for inline skate and skateboarding. The largest skate park in the county, it has a 6,300-square-foot concrete course, a vertical ramp half-pipe, and a 60-foot-long kidney bowl. 

Veteran’s Memorial Park is the place to go if you love outdoor activities for the whole family.

Leesylvania State Park

A few miles south of Veteran’s Memorial Park, you’ll find Leesylvania State Park on a point of land jutting into Potomac River. Across the river, you can see Maryland, while Neabsco Creek lies to the north and Powell’s Creek to the south. This area is believed to have once been the site of an Algonquian village that was visited by Captain John Smith in 1608. The park covers 556 acres and includes a fishing pier, boat launch, boat storage, and kayak and canoe rentals along the Potomac. Campsites are available for groups arriving by kayak or canoe only.

Five trails traverse the park: the Bushey Point Trail, Lee’s Wood Trail, Potomac Trail, Powell’s Creek Trail, and a portion of the longer Potomac Heritage Trail. Along the hiking trails, you can find historic markers and artifacts with descriptive plaques. The trails will lead you through scenic woods to boardwalks and sandy beaches along the shores of the Potomac, where you can take in breathtaking views across the river. When you are done with your walk, you can stop by the park’s visitor center and see nature and history displays, explore the environmental education classroom, and get a memento from the gift shop. 

One of the park’s most popular activities is boating. The boat launch area has two ramps and a sailboat hoist. There is convenient parking for up to 186 vehicles or trailers, plus a dock with a store and gas station. Sailboats are available to rent through the Northern Virginia Sailing School. There is no restriction on horsepower for motorboats, which are popular for cruising the river. If paddling is more your thing, you’ll find a car-top launch along Powell’s Creek. Don’t forget to pack your life jackets. And remember, this fresh-water tidal river is not safe for swimming.

The Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge

This 642-acre oasis of grasslands, marshes, and hardwood forests is home to ospreys, eagles, owls, deer, foxes, otters, and many other species of wildlife. Located on a former army station, the refuge was established in 1998 to provide a safe habitat for migrating waterfowl, nesting raptors, and others. Leftover roads from the military site form the gravel walking trails and the two-mile loop used as a wildlife drive. It is important to stay on designated trails so as not to disturb wildlife and erode the delicate wetlands, woodland, and meadow habitats.

The refuge is home to an impressive 650+ plant species. Wetlands account for over half of the total area and range from marshes and wet meadows to bottomlands and a 4-acre pond. Herons, ducks, kingfishers, and the American bittern are some of the birds that frequent these areas. You can also spot painted turtles in the turtle pond, spotted salamanders, spring peepers, and green frogs. If you’d like to take pictures of the wildlife, you’ll find photo blinds located at the parking lot, at Marumsco Creek, and at the Potomac River where Fox Road meets Deephole Point Road.

The rest of the reserve is comprised of native hardwood forests and grasslands. In the woods, you can identify oak, maple, American persimmon, sweetgum, and northern arrowwood trees, plus willow trees near the marshes. If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of large eagle or owl nests in the larger trees. The man-made grasslands provide a safe habitat for migrating and nesting songbirds. Migrating monarch butterflies are seen passing through in September.

Whether you’re a nature lover, an outdoor enthusiast, someone who loves boating or playing sports, or just someone enjoy some peace and quiet at the edge of a pond, these three parks in Woodbridge, Virginia, are not to be missed. From the serenity of the Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge to the bustling activity of the Veteran’s Memorial Park community center, you’re sure to have a wonderful day out. Have you explored all the trails in any of these parks? The team at Koons Woodbridge Hyundai would love to hear which is your favorite, so contact us and let us know!
