2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy
- Used
Notes from the dealer
Enthusiasts who notice the difference between numb and communicative steering will appreciate the Palisade Calligraphy's thoughtful calibration. Whether weaving through city traffic or enjoying open stretches beyond Sw Mt Vernon, IA, the combination of all-wheel drive and four-wheel independent suspension keeps engagement high. The heated steering wheel and premium Nappa leather seats provide tactile luxury without isolating the driver from the action, while the heads-up display keeps vital information in clear sight for uninterrupted focus on the road ahead.
Performance stands out thanks to a responsive V6 paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission featuring SHIFTRONIC manual mode. Throttle response is crisp, with the transmission delivering quick, predictable shifts that never lag when you ask for acceleration. Sport mode sharpens power delivery and holds gears longer, letting you precisely control momentum on twisty backroads or during spirited passing maneuvers. The Palisade settles confidently over mid-corner bumps, while its brakes offer strong, linear feedback that inspire trust during hard stops or quick adjustments. Suspension tuning absorbs rough pavement yet always communicates road texture, enhancing the sense of connection between driver and machine.
Safety technology in the Palisade is designed to enhance, not override, driver control. Electronic Stability Control and traction systems intervene seamlessly, maintaining composure on slippery surfaces without dulling steering feel or throttle input. Brake assist reacts swiftly to emergency pressure, giving you the confidence to push the SUV without second-guessing stopping power. The rearview camera and rain-sensing wipers keep visibility high, and lane-keeping features provide a subtle nudge rather than a heavy hand, supporting attentive driving on long journeys or in variable conditions.
The Calligraphy trim surrounds the driver with features that elevate every trip. Heated and ventilated front and rear seats, Harman/Kardon speakers, a navigation system, and a power moonroof blend comfort and technology for immersive journeys. The 12-speaker premium audio system and Apple CarPlay & Android Auto integration ensure your soundtrack is always crisp and accessible.
Against sporty competitors like the Kia Telluride SX Prestige and Mazda CX-90 Turbo S, the Palisade Calligraphy carves its niche with a uniquely refined ride and an interior that feels a cut above in both materials and tactile interaction.
Drivers frequently ask if the Palisade is fun on twisty roads, and the answer is yesâ"its steering and suspension provide direct, predictable responses, making it rewarding on scenic routes. The 8-speed automatic transmission shines in sport mode, allowing for manual gear selection that enhances driver involvement. Steering feel remains consistent and communicative, even during quick transitions, and brakes offer reassuring control.

Awesome in every way!

Love the palisade, best SUV ever. Smooth, fast and comfortable and I average close 23.9 mpg . Yes average is near advertised HW MPG. All the tech is great and has been working flawlessly. No repairs. It has plenty of room for 4 plus luggage . Look beautiful with the dealer applied ceramic from Allstate. Easy access to all controls, really like the lane centering more than anticipated and I use it frequently. My fear was becoming complacent but not an issue I use it when I want and it works well with adaptive cruise. It did take some getting used to the push button shifting but it’s nice that it’s compact and out of the way. I really have no complaints. Plenty of HP and if you need to accelerate all modes work well but sport really kicks in. We’ve traveled a lot in this so only negative is we drive it a lot! We take this vehicle for all our weekend travel. Also I’d say it’s pretty nimble and feels relatively light for its size . The AEB works great, probably save me once from hitting someone . - 5.0
Great smaller family car

Our Palisade was a great family vehicle. We really appreciated the safety features and the amount of technology it offered. The only reason we moved on was because our family outgrew it. With three kids in car seats and our oldest being tall, space became tight, especially on family trips. Over time, it simply no longer met our needs. We ultimately decided to upgrade to an extended SUV for the full truck space, 3rd row leg space (fitting adults) and added luxury. - 5.0
Highly Recommend

We bought the SUV new after reviewing and comparing it to several SUV's and had received positive reviews. We have had it about 1-1/2 years and pleased with its overall performance. The vehicle handles great and has many safety features. For a larger SUV it has decent gas mileage. I Love the look and absolutely love the beautiful interior style. It has many comfort features, including a lower lumbar massage after driving for 30 minutes. It alerts you if you exceed 80 mph by giving a gently squeeze in the drivers seat. The roof mounted rearview mirror provides an expansive view of traffic in all lanes. The parking assist is great as well as the 360 degree camera. Most importantly, I feel very safe driving in this vehicle and intend to keep it for many years. My only criticism is that I wish the side view mirrors would fold in.
