A standout in a crowded three-row field
The mid-size three-row SUV segment is packed with strong choices, and the Palisade holds its own with bold, distinctive styling and one of the longest feature lists in the class, spread across a six-trim lineup built to fit a wide range of budgets.
Every gas-powered Palisade uses a 287-horsepower 3.5-liter V-6 paired with an 8-speed automatic and a choice of front- or all-wheel drive. Acceleration is more measured than quick, but the Palisade rides smoothly and handles with composure on the road. Buyers who want more performance and better efficiency can step up to the separately reviewed Palisade Hybrid, which adds a 329-horsepower powertrain.
The rugged XRT Pro trim rides on a lifted suspension with an extra inch of ground clearance and adds driver-selectable terrain modes for mud, sand, and snow, while the top Calligraphy trim delivers class-above cabin materials that feel far pricier than the sticker suggests. No major changes are expected for the Palisade's 2027 model year, since the SUV was fully redesigned only one year prior.

- Full driver-assistance suite standard, even on the base SE
Worth Knowing
- Acceleration is on the slower side for the class
- Third row suits shorter trips better than long hauls for adults
- No complimentary maintenance plan on 2026-and-newer models
