New for 2020, the Hyundai Palisade replaces the Santa Fe that came before it, increasing both the interior space and luxurious offerings to become the largest SUV in the Hyundai lineup. There are three trims and six total configurations for the Palisade, each trim varying between front-wheel and an all-wheel drive upgrade that will improve your driving experience throughout The Villages and surrounding communities.
The Palisade's engine is a 3.8-liter V6 with 262 pound-feet of torque and 291 horsepower under the hood. Tow up to 1,650 pounds easily, enough power for a personal watercraft or a pair of ATVs. Gas mileage on the Palisade is 19 miles per gallon under the rigors of city driving and 26 miles per gallon when going highway speeds. An eight-speed automatic transmission with front-wheel drive comes standard, although there is an optional all-wheel drive as well for each trim.
Nine exterior paint colors are offered on all trims, and there's a choice of either 18- or 20-inch wheels that will turn heads in Clermont. Vertical brake lights add visual interest to the rear of the vehicle and balance with the vertical front headlights. There's a choice of two grille designs that are both accented with chrome and the Hyundai badge. The interior is sleek and modernistic, with a 10-inch optional touchscreen and room for eight passengers on three rows. Storage space measures in at 18 cubic feet, increasing to 86 cubic feet when lowering the seats fully.
Smartphones will sync up with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and can be wirelessly charged right in the central console as you cruise through Lady Lake. There are USB ports in all three rows for passenger use. Safety features include the full range of collision avoidance measures, from rear cross-traffic monitoring to forward collision alerts to blind spot alarms. Maneuver with confidence in tight spaces with the help of parking distance warnings and a rearview camera. There's even a system in place to monitor driver fatigue and distraction.
