When a family outgrows compact crossovers but wants something more refined than a minivan, the Hyundai Palisade answers that call with style and substance. This three-row SUV has earned its reputation among Shreveport, LA, families who need room for kids, gear, and the occasional road trip adventure. Mike Morgan Hyundai stocks the full Palisade lineup, making it easy to compare trims and find the right fit for your household.
A 3.5-liter V6 engine sits at the heart of every Palisade, pumping out 287 horsepower that makes merging onto highways and passing slower traffic feel effortless. The naturally aspirated gasoline powerplant uses direct injection and connects to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and Shift-By-Wire controls for drivers who like a hands-on approach. Folks in Bossier City, LA, can toggle between Eco, Sport, and My Drive modes to match their mood or the road ahead.
Buyers get to pick between front-wheel drive and automatic full-time all-wheel drive based on how they plan to use their Palisade. The front-wheel-drive setup returns an EPA-estimated 19 MPG around town and 25 MPG during highway stretches, while all-wheel drive models come in at 18 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. The rugged XRT Pro trim ships with all-wheel drive as standard equipment and throws in Terrain Mode Select with Mud, Snow, and Sand settings for when pavement gives way to something more challenging. Drivers heading out from Minden, LA, toward weekend camping spots will find the Palisade handles gravel roads and wet conditions without breaking a sweat.
Climbing inside the Palisade reveals a cabin built for actual humans rather than spec sheets. Front passengers enjoy 44.2 inches of leg room, and when you fold everything flat, cargo space stretches to 86.7 cubic feet-enough for hockey bags, camping equipment, or that furniture haul you keep putting off. The standard layout seats eight with a second-row bench, though swapping in captain's chairs creates a seven-passenger arrangement that makes reaching the third row far less awkward.
Material quality climbs steadily as you move through the lineup. The SE wears durable cloth that handles muddy cleats and spilled juice boxes, while SEL and SEL Premium trims switch to H-Tex leatherette that wipes clean without fuss. The Limited brings genuine leather into the picture along with heated and ventilated front thrones, heated captain's chairs in row two, and a heated third row for those cold morning carpool runs. Calligraphy models go all-out with premium Nappa leather and genuine wood accents throughout. Residents of Longview, TX, shopping for new Hyundai SUVs will notice the Palisade feels genuinely upscale inside.
A 12.3-inch color touchscreen anchors the dashboard and brings wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to the party without fumbling for cables. The system also packs dynamic voice recognition, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and a clever Passenger Talk 2.0 intercom that lets front-seat occupants chat with third-row riders without shouting. Bluelink+ connected services add Wi-Fi hotspot capability and push Over-the-Air updates to keep everything running smoothly.
Step up to higher trims and a Bose® 14-speaker audio system with Centerpoint technology fills the cabin with concert-quality sound. The Calligraphy trim adds a head-up display that beams speed and navigation data onto the windshield so your eyes stay on the road. Drivers from Texarkana, AR, browsing new Hyundai models will find the Palisade tech stack genuinely useful rather than gimmicky.
Hyundai SmartSense wraps every Palisade in a cocoon of driver assistance tech that actually works in real-world situations throughout Caddo Parish. Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go handles the tedium of bumper-to-bumper traffic while keeping safe distances from the car ahead. Lane Following Assist and Lane Keep Assist gently nudge the wheel when you drift, while Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist watches for trouble brewing ahead.
Blind Spot Collision Warning chirps when vehicles lurk in your mirror's dead zones, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist saves your bacon when backing out of crowded parking lots. Upper trims layer on an Aerial View Camera System and Parking Distance Warning sensors covering front, side, and rear zones. The Calligraphy version goes further with active Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance steering intervention, Evasion Assist, and a Parking-Automatic-Remote System that practically parks itself. Families across Bossier Parish can count on the Palisade to watch their blind spots when life gets hectic.
