Hyundai Palisade is one of many car brands which is perfect for weather conditions during Winter. It is made of many features such as rare object detection to avoid close contact when performing rare tunes, warm seats, built-in compass and extract adjustable rare seats for large size number of families.

This is a perfect car for families traveling by road during the holidays. These size cars are highly in-demand through rental companies during the holidays, and it’s advisable to book one well in advance when planning a trip out of town.

The Hyundai Palisade has been a favorite of Cars.com editors ever since it debuted for the 2020 model year — and nabbed both our overall Best of 2020 award and the top spot in our 2020 3-Row SUV Challenge. And it has only gotten better since thanks in part to the addition of a posh Calligraphy trim for 2021 and a significant freshening for 2023 (which helped it claim a repeat 3-Row SUV Challenge win in 2024). For 2025, the Palisade carries over with only tweaks to standard equipment levels. 

When we evaluate what makes a great family car, we look for good crashworthiness scores, standard safety features and how well it ferries families of all sizes, as well as child-safety seat fitment and overall excellence. The 2025 Palisade handily hits those marks.

The Palisade is accommodating for families who need to use all three rows of seats. There’s easy access to the third row via a one-button slide feature on the second-row chairs, and the third row itself is certainly manageable for adults. The Palisade is also good for families with younger children, as it has performed well in our Car Seat Checks.

Speaking of safety, the Palisade is loaded with standard safety features, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, lane departure steering assist, lane-centering steering, blind spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert with braking intervention. Standard on all but the base SE trim is a rear occupant alert system that uses ultrasonic sensors to detect motion in the second and third rows, and it issues multiple alerts if it detects continued movement. A clever Blind-Spot View Monitor, which is standard on the SEL Premium and up, shows a right- or left-side camera view in the digital instrument panel when the corresponding turn signal is activated.
