2025 Hyundai Palisade: The Ultimate Family SUV for Cornwall and Beyond

If you're on the hunt for a capable, family-friendly SUV that seamlessly blends style, tech, and practicality, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade should be at the top of your list.

Renowned for its spacious interior, advanced safety features, and upscale options, the Palisade has become a local favorite for those looking to add a touch of luxury without breaking the bank.

Why the Palisade Stands Out

The Palisade delivers a versatile package perfect for families and adventure seekers across Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry.

With standard features like parking distance warning and a surround-view camera, navigating Cornwall’s busy streets and parking areas becomes a breeze. This year, Hyundai has introduced the SEL Premium trim, filling the gap between the Limited trims and adding even more luxury and tech.

Price Range: Starting from $50,499 MSRP to $59,299 MSRP CAD, depending on trim and options, this SUV offers value across various budgets.

Performance and Capability

Under the hood, the Palisade houses a robust 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission for smooth shifts on both city roads and highways.

Front-wheel drive is standard, but for those needing extra traction in Canada’s unpredictable weather, all-wheel drive is available on every trim. With a towing capacity of up to 2,268 kg, the Palisade handles both daily errands and weekend getaways with ease.

Cornwall Tip: For those looking to tow a trailer or small boat for outdoor adventures in Glengarry or Dundas, the Palisade's towing capabilities, combined with the trailer pre-wiring and sway control, make it a solid choice.

Fuel Economy

Efficiency matters, and the Palisade holds up well with an estimated 12.4 L/100 km in the city and 9.0 L/100 km on the highway (all-wheel drive).

If your family loves road trips, these fuel economy numbers make the Palisade an economical choice for long drives.

Spacious Interior and Innovative Design

With seating for up to eight passengers, the 2025 Palisade combines functionality with luxury. The Preferred trim maximizes seating, while most other trims offer second-row captain’s chairs, balancing comfort with roominess.

The second row even has a one-touch button to allow easy access to the third row, ideal for families with children. Optional power-folding seats in the second and third rows add to its versatility, letting you quickly switch between passenger and cargo configurations.

Did You Know? With all seats folded, the Palisade provides an impressive 2,433 liters of cargo space, enough for 33 carry-on suitcases—perfect for shopping trips around Cornwall or transporting sports equipment.

Advanced Tech and Connectivity

Tech-savvy families will appreciate the Palisade’s 12.3-inch touchscreen, which comes with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and navigation, standard across all trims. Hyundai’s Blue Link app offers additional convenience, allowing you to start, lock, and unlock your Palisade remotely, even integrating with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free commands.

With multiple USB ports, up to seven devices can stay charged, so everyone’s entertainment needs are covered, whether for long drives across the United Counties or daily commutes around Cornwall.

Safety: Hyundai’s Priority

Safety is paramount, and the Palisade comes equipped with essential driver-assistance features like automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, and semi-autonomous driving mode on higher trims.

This suite of safety systems helps ensure peace of mind, whether you're navigating Cornwall’s streets or on a scenic drive through Dundas County.

For those looking to learn more about crash test results, Hyundai’s Palisade has performed impressively in tests conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Warranty and Maintenance: Exceptional Peace of Mind

Hyundai’s warranty continues to be one of the most generous on the market. The Palisade is covered by a five-year/96,000-kilometre limited warranty and an impressive 10-year/160,000-kilometre powertrain warranty.

Complimentary maintenance for three years or 58,000 kilometres adds value that many other brands don’t offer, ensuring your Palisade stays in top shape for years to come.
