Specs at a Glance
The 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid continues to earn acclaim as one of the top-ranked three-row SUVs, praised for its eco-friendly powertrain, plush accommodations, and thoughtful utility. For buyers considering this modern hybrid SUV, the choice between the well-equipped SEL and the flagship Calligraphy trim is common. Here is a clear guide on how these two configurations contrast.
Performance
Performance parameters remain uniform across both of these Palisade Hybrid variants. Power stems from a hybrid system integrating a turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engine and dual electric motors, producing a total of 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is routed through a responsive six-speed automatic transmission, while standard regenerative braking captures energy as the vehicle slows to maintain battery charge. Drivers can select standard front-wheel drive or opt for all-wheel drive capabilities.
Appearance
The Palisade Hybrid SEL distinguishes itself with an eye-catching exterior design that transcends standard mid-grade trims. Its upright, boxy profile is accented by a prominent front grille and signature cube-style LED projector headlights with vertical daytime running lamps. Distinctive wraparound LED taillamps enhance the rear profile, complemented by standard 18-inch alloy wheels.
The range-topping Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy commands an even stronger road presence with custom 21-inch alloy wheels. A tailored, high-end front fascia sets it apart from other trims, along with specialized lower body accent molding. Furthermore, Hyundai offers exclusive exterior paint options reserved specifically for the Calligraphy model.
Features
With the Palisade Hybrid SEL, buyers receive an extensive array of standard conveniences. Cabin technology centers around a 12.3-inch touchscreen incorporating built-in navigation and wireless smartphone integration. Comfort is prioritized with second-row captain's chairs and high-durability H-Tex upholstery, along with a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster, a wireless phone charger, and the comprehensive Hyundai SmartSense safety system.
The Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy offers unmatched luxury within the model range. Long-distance comfort is enhanced by the Ergo Motion driver seat, while Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist adds an extra layer of protection during multi-lane driving. Audio enthusiasts benefit from a 14-speaker Bose premium audio setup, complemented by rich leather seating, a center console UV-C sterilization compartment, integrated drive recorders, and a head-up display.
