Award-Winning Hyundai Palisade SUV: Why Is It a Great Buy for Families in Columbus, MS

Are you shopping for a family vehicle in Columbus, MS? The award-winning Hyundai Palisade belongs at the top of your list. Here are just a few of the reasons to choose this outstanding midsize SUV for everyday errands, family vacations, and so much more!

It’s one of Hyundai’s most-awarded vehicles

The auto industry’s top award-givers are fans of the Hyundai Palisade, so why not give it a try yourself? The Palisade has earned a huge collection of honors over the past couple of years (2023-2024), and here are a few highlights:

It’s packed with standard features

According to Car and Driver’s annual Editors’ Choice judges, the Palisade stands out with its “plethora of standard features.” They’re not exaggerating; for 2024, the entry-level Palisade SE comes equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and an acoustic-laminated windshield to keep the cabin quiet. You’ll also get a 12.3-inch touchscreen, Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®, onboard navigation and traffic flow data via HD Radio™, and an array of Bluelink Connected Car System services. What a value!

It has a really nice interior

Multiple award panels agree that the Hyundai Palisade has an especially nice interior. “No matter which trim level you pick, you won’t feel cheated,” notes Autotrader. There’s plenty of space inside for up to eight passengers, along with helpful features like one-touch sliding second-row seats and an available power-folding third row.

During sweltering summers in Mississippi, standard dual-zone automatic climate control, second-row HVAC controls, and third-row HVAC vents keep everyone’s ride comfortable. One of our favorite standard features inside the Palisade is Rear Seat Quiet Mode, which lets you listen to audio up front while keeping the rear seats quiet for napping youngsters.

Its technologies are advanced but still easy to use

We’ve already mentioned some of the great technologies you’ll find inside the Hyundai Palisade. Whether or not you’re tech-savvy, you’ll find them all easy to use! One of the Palisade’s recent awards is a 10 Best Interiors and UX honor from Wards Auto. Here’s what that publication had to say:

“The cockpit controls are exceptionally user friendly, placed high on the center console with the electronic shifter, climate control and infotainment buttons positioned at a perfect angle next to the driver … The touchscreen is very responsive and the phone syncing is fast. Voice recognition works well and includes the ability to get weather reports and change cabin temperature.”

It delivers a smooth, enjoyable ride

Smooth performance is a theme that comes up frequently among the Palisade’s many awards. U.S. News & World Report was especially complimentary, praising the Palisade for its independent multi-link rear suspension and MacPherson strut front suspension, both of which combine to “soak up bumps and jolts nicely.”

Plus, the Palisade comes with a powerful 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque — more than enough for effortlessly powerful acceleration, safe highway merging, and stress-free road-trip cruising in Mississippi.

It’s a safe vehicle for the whole family

If safety is a top priority for your next vehicle, the Palisade has you covered. As an IIHS Top Safety Pick for 2024, it’s been rigorously tested for both crash prevention and protection — so you can load up your loved ones with full peace of mind.

The Palisade also comes with an impressive suite of standard driver-assistance features to help you stay focused and safe behind the wheel. These include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Curve Control, and Driver Attention Warning.

It’s affordably priced

Award-givers— including Car and Driver, Consumer Guide®, and Autotrader — love to point out the Hyundai Palisade’s affordable pricing. It’s especially impressive when you take into account this SUV’s high-end design and numerous standard features.

For 2024, the entry-level SE trim starts at just $36,650 MSRP, while the SEL adds a long list of extra features for around $3,000 more.[1] At the top of the lineup, the Palisade’s stunning Calligraphy trim delivers premium features and upscale design at a price point that’s far more affordable than what you’d find from luxury brands.
