A used Hyundai Palisade brings three-row seating, flexible cargo room, and family-friendly technology to a midsize SUV that is easy to use every day. At Nucar Hyundai of North Kingstown, shoppers can compare used Hyundai Palisade models for sale by model year, seating configuration, trim, drivetrain, mileage, equipment, and vehicle history.
The Palisade has room for school and activity schedules around North Kingstown High, weekend luggage, and the extra gear that comes with a busy household. Depending on the year and configuration, a used Palisade may seat seven or eight passengers and offer front-wheel drive, HTRAC all-wheel drive, gas or hybrid power, and a wide range of comfort and driver-assistance features.
The Palisade is a practical choice for shoppers who need real three-row passenger space without moving to a full-size SUV. Its cabin can accommodate adults, children, car seats, school bags, groceries, and travel gear, while folding rear seats create additional cargo room when fewer passengers are riding along.
Selecting a used Palisade also gives shoppers several ways to prioritize seating, technology, appearance, or all-weather driving. Some configurations use a second-row bench for eight-passenger seating, while others use second-row captain’s chairs for easier third-row access and seven-passenger seating. Available HTRAC all-wheel drive adds another option for drivers preparing for changing New England weather.
The first Palisade arrived for the 2020 model year with a 3.8-liter V6 producing 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission was standard, and shoppers could choose front-wheel drive or available HTRAC all-wheel drive.
The original trim structure included SE, SEL, and Limited. Hyundai added the more upscale Calligraphy trim for 2021. Equipment varied considerably among these early trims, including second-row seating, displays, upholstery, sunroofs, audio systems, parking technology, and driver-assistance features.
These model years may appeal to shoppers who prefer the original Palisade design and its familiar V6 powertrain. Check the seating arrangement and installed equipment because two vehicles from the same year may be configured differently.
The Palisade received a substantial update for 2023 while retaining its 3.8-liter V6 and eight-speed automatic transmission. Changes included redesigned front and rear styling, a revised dashboard and steering wheel, a standard 12.3-inch navigation touchscreen, upgraded charging ports, and additional safety and convenience technology.
The 2023 update also introduced the XRT trim with dark exterior details and an outdoors-inspired appearance. AWD-equipped 2023 models gained Tow Mode, which adjusts transmission operation while pulling a trailer.
For 2024, Hyundai introduced the Calligraphy Night Edition with standard AWD and dark exterior and interior finishes. The 2025 Palisade largely carried forward, while SEL Premium became a separate trim rather than an equipment package.
The fully redesigned 2026 Palisade introduced more passenger and cargo room, updated displays, new seating features, and two new powertrains. The gas version uses a 3.5-liter V6 producing 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The first Palisade Hybrid also arrived for 2026. Its turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and electric motors produce a combined 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed automatic transmission. Gas and hybrid versions may have front-wheel drive or HTRAC all-wheel drive, depending on the trim.
The second generation also introduced the XRT PRO with standard AWD, all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, an electronic rear limited-slip differential, terrain modes, recovery hooks, and other configuration-specific hardware.
A used Hyundai Palisade may seat seven or eight people. The difference comes down to the second-row configuration.
Bring the passengers or child seats that matter to your routine when possible. Check third-row access, legroom, car-seat placement, storage, and the cargo space that remains when every seating position is in use.
Front-wheel drive and HTRAC all-wheel drive have both been offered on the Palisade. Drivetrain availability changed by year and trim, so it should be verified for the specific vehicle.
A test drive that includes local streets and a stretch of Frenchtown Road can help you evaluate acceleration, braking, steering, outward visibility, cabin noise, and driver-assistance operation at different speeds.
The Palisade XRT and XRT PRO are not interchangeable trim names. They belong to different generations and provide different levels of equipment.
The XRT may suit shoppers who primarily want its distinctive styling, while the XRT PRO adds mechanical equipment intended for rougher roads and unpaved surfaces. Review the exact vehicle details before deciding which version fits your driving plans.
Palisade towing ratings depend on the model year, powertrain, hitch equipment, trailer brakes, passengers, cargo, and other vehicle-specific factors.
Before towing, verify the individual Palisade’s drivetrain, hitch and wiring equipment, trailer requirements, tire ratings, passenger and cargo load, and instructions in the applicable owner’s manual.
Palisade trims and package content have changed since the model arrived. Common configurations include:
Review the individual vehicle details for seating configuration, upholstery, sunroofs, camera systems, premium audio, towing equipment, Digital Key, heated or ventilated seats, and other priorities.
A useful used Palisade comparison considers how the entire vehicle fits your household rather than focusing only on age or mileage.
Recall eligibility is tied to the VIN rather than the model name alone. Check the individual Palisade for open recalls and confirm that completed repairs appear in the vehicle records.
These recalls did not affect every Palisade from the listed model years. A VIN lookup can confirm whether a particular vehicle was included and whether the required remedy has been completed.
A standard used Palisade, a Hyundai Certified Used Vehicle, and a Hyundai Select Used vehicle are different categories. Certification applies only to vehicles that meet the applicable age and mileage limits, complete the required inspection, and are enrolled in the program.
Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles must be six model years old or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles. Qualifying gasoline vehicles complete a 173-point inspection, while different inspection requirements may apply to hybrid and other electrified vehicles. Warranty coverage, roadside assistance, deductibles, exclusions, and other benefits are governed by the current program terms.
Hyundai Select Used includes qualifying vehicles that are six model years old or newer with 80,000 to 120,000 miles, or seven to ten model years old with no more than 120,000 miles. Qualifying vehicles complete a 117-point inspection and include a limited 90-day/5,000-mile powertrain warranty, subject to program terms and exclusions.
A Palisade should not be considered certified based only on its model year or mileage. Review the individual listing and program documents. Compare Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles and Hyundai Select Used.

The first-generation Palisade arrived for 2020, added the Calligraphy trim for 2021, and received a major refresh for 2023. The second generation arrived for 2026 with more interior room, a new V6, the first Palisade Hybrid, and the XRT PRO.

The 2023–2025 XRT is primarily an appearance-focused first-generation trim. The 2026 XRT PRO adds standard AWD, all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, an electronic rear limited-slip differential, terrain modes, recovery hooks, and other mechanical equipment.
Most 2020–2025 Palisade models and the 2026 gas Palisade are rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. The 2026 Palisade Hybrid is rated to tow up to 4,000 pounds when properly equipped. The exact limit depends on the vehicle, hitch equipment, trailer setup, passengers, and cargo.
Review the specific model year, powertrain, maintenance history, recall completion, mileage, condition, vehicle history, and test-drive results. A broad model reputation cannot determine the condition or future performance of an individual used Palisade.
