2025 Hyundai Palisade

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade makes a bold statement with its sophisticated, modern design. Equipped with a powerful 3.8L V6 engine, it produces 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, offering excellent performance whether you're navigating city streets or taking long highway trips. The Palisade is available in both FWD and AWD configurations, making it adaptable to various driving conditions. Its 5,000-lb towing capacity makes it capable of handling recreational gear, trailers, or boats, making it an ideal choice for families with active lifestyles.

In comparison, the 2025 Honda Pilot features a 3.5L V6 engine that produces 285 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. While slightly less powerful than the Palisade, the Pilot still delivers strong performance for most driving needs. Like the Palisade, the Pilot is offered with FWD or AWD and can tow up to 5,000 lbs. Though the Pilot provides a solid driving experience, the Palisade’s more refined design and enhanced engine performance make it a better fit for those looking for a combination of power and style in their family SUV.

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade stands out with its 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital display, offering a more premium, tech-driven experience. It also features Nappa leather seating and three-zone climate control for added comfort. With seating for up to 8 passengers and 86.4 cubic feet of cargo space when the second and third rows are folded, the Palisade provides plenty of room for both passengers and gear.

The 2025 Honda Pilot also offers seating for 8 passengers but comes with a smaller 9-inch touchscreen and fewer upscale materials. While the Pilot does offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, its tech features don’t quite match the Palisade’s advanced system. It does, however, provide 87 cubic feet of cargo space, just slightly more than the Palisade.
