The 2025 Hyundai PALISADE is making waves in the mid-size SUV market. It's known for its roomy interior, cutting-edge tech, and high-end features. The PALISADE has something for everyone, whether you're looking for a family-friendly ride or a luxurious cruiser. Let's take a closer look at the 2025 Hyundai PALISADE's trims and features. 

Detailed Exploration of the 2025 Hyundai PALISADE Trim Levels

The 2025 Hyundai PALISADE is now in its second generation, and it's better than ever. Hyundai builds this SUV to impress; it competes with popular SUV models such as the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. 

Hyundai offers the PALISADE in seven trims, each with its own features and price point. Let's break them down here.

SE

The SE trim is the base model, but it's far from basic. It includes 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a 12.3-inch center touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Keyless entry, push-button start, and dual-zone automatic climate control are also standard. Safety features include forward collision warning, lane-keeping assistance, and adaptive cruise control. 

SEL

The SEL trim builds on the SE by adding more comfort and convenience features. It includes roof rails, a digital key system, and a hands-free liftgate. The cabin has H-Tex trimmed upholstery and power-adjustable and heated front seats. The SEL also features second-row captain's chairs, reducing the seating capacity to seven.

XRT

The XRT trim introduces a more rugged aesthetic with 20-inch black wheels, black front and rear skid plates, and dark exterior trim. There's also a sunroof, self-leveling rear suspension, and black synthetic leather upholstery. Additional features include rear sunshades, front parking sensors, and a 360-degree camera system. 

SEL Premium

The SEL Premium trim enhances luxury with 20-inch wheels, a heated steering wheel, and driver's seat and mirror memory settings. It also has ventilated front and second-row seats, providing added comfort for all passengers. This trim doesn't include the XRT's dark wheels and exterior trim but focuses on premium interior features. 

Limited

The Limited trim is a significant upgrade in luxury and technology. It includes nappa leather upholstery, a head-up display, and a premium Harman Kardon audio system. Additional features include a surround-view monitor, blind-spot view monitor, and a power-folding third-row seat. 

Calligraphy

The Calligraphy trim is the PALISADE's top-of-the-line. It features exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, quilted leather door panels, and a microfiber suede headliner. Hyundai has wrapped the steering wheel in perforated leather, and there's ambient interior lighting. All the safety and convenience features available in the Limited trim are also present in the Calligraphy trim. 

Calligraphy Night

The Calligraphy Night trim is distinctive; standard all-wheel drive and unique exterior styling make it stand out. It includes blacked-out wheels, grille, and exterior accents, giving the PALISADE a more aggressive and stylish outer appearance. It also retains all the Calligraphy trim's luxurious interior perks. 

Noteworthy Features Across All Trims

You'll get a great set of standard features no matter which trim you choose. All PALISADE models have a powerful 3.8-liter V-6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Hyundai has paired this engine with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth performance. Standard safety features include Hyundai's SmartSense suite, which includes forward collision-avoidance assist, lane-keeping assist, and driver attention warning. 

The PALISADE 2025 has a spacious and comfortable cabin with seating for up to eight passengers, tri-zone automatic climate control, and a 12.3-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. All trims feature advanced connectivity options, including multiple USB ports and Bluetooth connectivity. The 2025 Hyundai PALISADE is versatile and appealing no matter your purpose, whether you have a family or just enjoy adventuring.

Packages, Options, and Additional Amenities for Customization

The 2025 Hyundai PALISADE offers several customization packages, enhancing its versatility and luxury: 

  • Convenience package: This package includes a hands-free smart liftgate, ultrasonic rear occupant alert, and wireless device charging.
  • Premium package: The Hyundai PALISADE premium package adds luxury touches such as leather seating surfaces, a heated steering wheel, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. 
  • Power package: This package focuses on performance enhancements, including a power-folding third-row seat and a 115-volt power outlet. 
  • Towing package: If you need towing capabilities, the Palisade's towing package includes a heavy-duty transmission cooler, trailer sway control, and a hitch receiver, enabling a 5,000-pound maximum towing capacity.

Making an Informed Decision: Choosing the Right Trim for You

Choosing the right 2025 Hyundai Palisade trim level involves considering your needs, budget, and desired features. Start by identifying your priorities, such as technology, comfort, or performance. For instance, if you value advanced safety features and luxury touches, the Limited or Calligraphy trims might be ideal, offering amenities such as nappa leather upholstery and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. 

On the other hand, if you need a balance of features and affordability, the SEL or SEL Premium trims provide a good mix of comfort and technology, including heated front seats and a hands-free liftgate. Consider your long-term needs as well and how the features of each trim will serve you over time. Test-driving different trims will allow you to experience the differences firsthand and make a more informed decision. 

You can select the PALISADE trim that best suits your Plano lifestyle and preferences by carefully evaluating these factors.
