NEXT STAGE: Redesign in 2025

The three-row kid hauler debuted for the 2020 model year, replacing the Santa Fe XL in the lineup. It shares the Kia Telluride’s 3.8-liter V-6 and offers 291 hp and 262 pound-feet of torque.

For 2023, the Palisade gets a freshen that includes an exterior face-lift with a sportier grille, headlights and wheel designs, reconfigured interior with higher-quality materials and tech enhancements as well as expanded safety features and a new more aggressively styled XRT trim. All-wheel-drive models now get a Tow function alongside the Normal, Sport and Smart modes.

The 2023 Palisade went on sale in July. A redesign is expected in the first half of 2025, likely designated as a 2026 model. A hybrid powertrain or a turbo four-cylinder option could be offered.
