About the 2022 Hyundai Palisade S
With an overall Carivo score of 8.1/10, the 2022 Hyundai Palisade S earns a Recommended rating among the suvs we've scored. Its strongest dimension is Safety at 8.7/10, while Performance at 7.3/10 is where it trails the competition most noticeably. It's a solid all-rounder that delivers across most dimensions without obvious deal-breakers.
Reliability and safety are the two dimensions that matter most for long-term ownership costs. We rate the Hyundai Palisade S's reliability at 8.6/10 — among the strongest in our suv database, reflecting the nameplate's track record and recall history. Safety is a strength too — 8.7/10 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 7.6/10 — functional and modern, with wireless connectivity and core ADAS features, though some competitors pack more standard tech at this price point.
Priced from $40,267–$47,999, 21 MPG, seating 8, the Hyundai Palisade S sits in the mid-market bracket of the suv segment. The 8.0/10 value score is the headline: relative to what it costs, this suv delivers more than most of the class. At 4 years old, it's worth checking whether a newer generation or refresh has addressed any weaker dimensions — compare it to the current model year before buying.
Bottom line: Think of the 2022 Hyundai Palisade S as the dependable pick rather than the exciting one. Shoppers who value predictability over headlines will be well served.
