About the 2024 Hyundai Palisade
With an overall Carivo score of 8.2/10, the 2024 Hyundai Palisade earns a Recommended rating among the suvs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 9.0/10, while Technology at 7.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably.

Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Hyundai Palisade's reliability at 8.8/10 — among the strongest in our suv database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. Safety is a strength too — 9.0/10 by our scoring. As with any car, verify the official ratings for your specific trim at nhtsa.gov/ratings.
Performance lands mid-pack at 7.3/10: enough power and composure for everyday needs, without the dynamics that distinguish the segment's driver-focused options. Technology comes in at 7.3/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $37,250–$44,360, 23 MPG, seating 8, the Hyundai Palisade sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. The 8.2/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this suv delivers more than most of the class. At 2 years old, it's recent enough that the core feature set holds up well against current competition.
Bottom line: Think of the 2024 Hyundai Palisade as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
