Performance and Fuel Economy of the 2025 Palisade
There's only one engine option for the Palisade, and frankly that's all it needs. Under the hood, the 2025 Palisade boasts a 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission. FWD is standard, with all-wheel drive available for all trims besides the Calligraphy, which comes with standard AWD. The Palisade offers a powerful but serene driving experience, capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.9 seconds. Fuel economy is competitive, with FWD Palisade models achieving 22 MPG combined, 19 MPG city, and 26 MPG highway. AWD models provide a respectable 21 MPG combined, 19 MPG city, and 24 MPG highway.
Interior Comfort and Cargo Space
Inside, the Palisade offers a spacious and premium interior unheard of in this price point. With solid build quality, attention to detail, and swaths of high quality materials like Nappa Leather, it genuinely feels good to be in the Palisade. This feeling is further enhanced by the available Ergo Motion Seats, which make driving the Palisade an extremely comfortable affair. Regarding tech, standard features include a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, dual Bluetooth connectivity, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. Higher trims add a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and advanced safety tech like a 360-degree camera and digital rearview mirror.
