Hyundai Palisade vs. Toyota Highlander
Performance
Both of these SUVs have one powertrain option but provide available all-wheel drive. The Hyundai Palisade relies upon a V6 engine that provides ample power, 291 horsepower, that helps it feel responsive when you press the gas. That engine also helps the Hyundai SUV to tow up to 5,000 pounds. The lone engine in the Toyota Highlander is a turbocharged four-cylinder that is a bit small for a three-row SUV. This engine only reaches 265 horsepower, and its turbocharging can lead to delayed response and acceleration.
Design
Design is important to those buying a three-row SUV because most drivers doing so need a vehicle for their family. The Hyundai Palisade offers Middleton, ID drivers more passenger space than the Toyota Highlander, and it also has a greater cargo capacity with all the seats upright or folded flat than what the Toyota SUV provides. Buying an SUV for your family doesn't mean sacrificing style because the Hyundai Palisade has exceptional materials, like quilted Nappa leather seats, that you won't find in the Toyota Highlander.
Features and Safety
The convenience and smarts of the new Hyundai Palisade are other reasons why so many drivers enjoy this SUV.
