The 2022 Hyundai Palisade SEL stands out as a smart money decision by delivering a rich suite of standard features at a price point where many rivals charge extra.

Analytical buyers who compare spec sheets and calculate total cost of ownership will appreciate how the Palisade SEL blends everyday practicality with a nearly comprehensive list of included amenities. The third-row split-bench and reclining seats offer flexible space for passengers or cargo, while rear air conditioning and dual-zone front climate control enhance comfort for all. In climates like Lakeland, FL, features such as the power moonroof and remote keyless entry add everyday convenience, making it a standout for those who demand a lot for their investment. It’s engineered for buyers who value measurable returns in real-life use.

Performance meets value in this SUV, with a proven V6 engine and front-wheel drive layout delivering reliable power for highway cruising or city commutes. The automatic transmission ensures smooth shifts, supporting both low-stress family trips and efficient daily operation. With EPA ratings of 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, the Palisade SEL helps owners save at the pump. Lower maintenance costs are supported by features like electronic stability control and a four-wheel independent suspension, which promote durability and reduce wear over time. Its balance of capability and efficiency means you don’t pay a premium for practical performance.

Safety value is a major strength, as the Palisade SEL incorporates a comprehensive suite of standard features designed to protect without requiring costly add-ons. Every model includes ABS brakes, electronic stability control, brake assist, and a rearview camera as standard equipment. Dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, a knee airbag, and overhead airbags all come included, while auto high-beam headlights and a low tire pressure warning system support safe driving in varied conditions. Unlike some rivals that limit these features to upper trims, Hyundai delivers them up front.

The Palisade SEL’s standard equipment list is especially strong, featuring heated front seats, automatic temperature control, a power driver seat, and a power moonroof. Integrated tech such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls ensure seamless connectivity for all passengers. Functional features like split-folding rear seats, rear air conditioning, and a cargo cover increase versatility for daily routines and longer trips. Convenience touches, including an auto-dimming rearview mirror and garage door transmitter, add a premium feel without the premium price tag.

Against competitors like the Honda Pilot EX and Toyota Highlander LE, the Palisade SEL consistently offers more standard features at a comparable price point.
