Choosing the right SUV for your family can be a challenge. You have to take into account a lot of factors, such as price, number of seats, features, etc. The Hyundai Santa Fe and Palisade are both great options that might be the right fit for you.

Which one is better depends on your specific needs, but for residents of Madison County, Hallmark Hyundai North is here to provide some details in determining the right fit for your family when it comes to the Hyundai Santa Fe vs Palisade.

The Santa Fe is a compact SUV that seats five (it lacks a third row of seats). It offers a balanced combination of refinement and ruggedness, as well as towing power, in a smaller package that is easier to park. It is just as capable of off-road fun as larger SUVs.

Advantages of the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe

  • Better fuel mileage, and it is also available in hybrid and plug-in hybrid, making it much more fuel-efficient
  • Available turbocharged engine to increase towing capacity, albeit at the cost of some fuel efficiency.
  • Comes standard with Wireless AppleCarPlay.
 

Advantages of the 2023 Hyundai Palisade


The advantages of the 2023 Hyundai Palisade include:
 
  • More cargo space.
  • The ability to seat up to eight, depending on whether you choose captain's chairs or a bench for the third row.
  • Higher towing capacity.
  • A larger touchscreen for navigation.
 

What They Have in Common


Both vehicles also have a lot in common. 

Both come with the same safety features, including forward collision mitigation and lane-keeping assist, as well as adaptive cruise control. They also come with such features as power-adjustable heated front seats, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility and remote smart parking, meaning they can park themselves, whether or not you are inside. (Very handy if the space is big enough for the SUV but not big enough for the SUV and its doors...)

They also have Hyundai's maintenance plan for three years or 36,000 miles.
 

Which Should You Choose?


Really, it boils down to size. Suppose you have a large family or routinely find yourself with multiple passengers. In that case, you need the 2023 Hyundai Palisade with its third row of seating. With all the seats down, the Palisade has over seventy cubic feet of cargo space. 

If you routinely tow a heavy camper, horse trailer, etc, then you may also need the Palisade's increased power.

If you don't need the size, the 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe has a number of advantages, and you also have the hybrid option.
