The Hyundai Palisade made an immediate impression on us with its 2020 debut, delivering style and three-row SUV practicality at a reasonable price. Upscale trimmings and a generous feature list helped the Palisade immediately challenge the three-row status quo, and four years later the 2024 Palisade remains a top contender for families with big needs.
The Palisade ranks a very close second to the Edmunds Top Rated Kia Telluride. Notably, these two SUVs are closely related to each other under the bodywork. They have the same engine and very similar in-car technology features. Each has its own style, however, with the Palisade taking on a more luxurious vibe. The range-topping Calligraphy trim, for example, adds extra-classy features such as quilted-leather door inserts and a suede-like headliner.
There's plenty to like about the Palisade or the Telluride. But there are other options should they not work out. Other three-row SUVs you want to consider are the upscale Mazda CX-90, the new Toyota Grand Highlander and the roomy Volkswagen Atlas.
