Do you have a large family and need a vehicle that can safely transport everyone and double as a work vehicle? Full-size SUVs have replaced minivans as the preferred large vehicle, and the 2022 Hyundai Palisade is one of the top picks for drivers today. This is just one of the options that we recommend to our customers here at Crain Hyundai of Fort Smith, where we carry the best vehicles for all types of drivers.
Meeting the 2022 Hyundai Palisade
The Hyundai Palisade is a full-size, three-row SUV. It is the largest SUV in Hyundai’s vehicle lineup and the only one to offer three-row seating for large families or hauling cargo. It has been a favorite among drivers since its release in 2020 thanks to its size and other wonderful features.
Powertrain and Fuel Economy
The Palisade comes equipped with a powerful 3.6-liter V-6 engine that produces 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and your choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive configuration. Front-wheel drive configurations have a fuel economy rating of 19/26mpg city/highway, while the all-wheel-drive configurations achieved a rating of 19/24 mpg city/highway.
Drivers can also purchase a hitch that enables the Palisade to tow up to 5,000 pounds for both drive configurations, making it an excellent option for anyone who needs to use it for work or hauling loads.
Safety
The Palisade received the highest five-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. It also received the highest Top Safety Pick+ rating from the IIHS for all trims, making the Palisade one of the safest SUVs on the market today.
All models also come equipped with an impressive safety suite, which includes:

These two trims also come standard with a premium 12-speaker audio system and a head-up display.
