2024 Hyundai Palisade: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Hyundai Palisade is the new Calligraphy Night Edition, which pairs the top trim’s upscale equipment with dark exterior and interior details and standard AWD. Otherwise, this is a light-update year with a few trim-level equipment changes.
About the 2024 Hyundai Palisade
1st generation (2020-2025), second year after the 2023 styling and tech update.
Hyundai positions the Palisade as a roomy three-row family SUV with a more upscale feel than its mainstream badge suggests. The core appeal is simple: lots of passenger space, an easy-to-use cabin, a strong list of safety and convenience features, and a near-luxury atmosphere without moving into a luxury-brand price bracket. Reviewers and Hyundai both frame it as a comfort-first road-trip and family-hauling SUV rather than a sporty or hardcore off-road choice.
The 2024 Palisade ranges from the eight-seat SE, with a 12.3-inch touchscreen and core driver-assistance features, to more comfort-focused trims for family travel. The Limited adds leather seats and a head-up display, while Calligraphy models bring Nappa leather, a digital rearview mirror, remote parking assist, and a massaging driver’s seat. The new Calligraphy Night Edition gives that top-end package a darker look and standard AWD.
