The Palisade's dashboard and trim layout are horizontal and largely unbroken-the Great Plains sans corn - The CarConnection
One of the biggest strengths of the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is that you are greeted with an upscale and premium interior. There is an abundance of quality and soft-touch materials on the surfaces. The dashboard has a pretty simplistic and ergonomic layout for ease of access, with chrome accents on higher trims. In the SE and SEL trims, you get cloth upholstery as standard, but you can appoint Nappa leather in the SEL trim as an option. The Limited trim offers Nappa leather seats, leather door panel inserts and 64-color LED ambient lighting.
You can either equip your Palisade as a 7-seater with captain’s chairs in the second row or go for a full 8-seater configuration. Leather-wrapped steering is standard from the SEL trim onwards. There is a 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat in the base trim. The Limited trim gets heated and ventilated 8-way power-adjustable front seats with seat memory and 4-way lumbar support and the captain’s chairs are also heated and ventilated captain’s seat in the second row. The first and second row has tons of space for adults. Surprisingly, even the third row can fit averagely-sized adults, which is an impressive feat.
The cargo capacity is also quite impressive on the Palisade. Behind the third row, it can fit 18 cubic feet of storage, which should be enough space for your family on a picnic or a short road trip without compromising space for seating. With the third row down, it increases to 45.8 cubic feet of storage, which is tons of space for practically anything to store. Finally, with the second row down, a massive 86.4 cubic feet of storage is revealed, enough to satisfy all your needs. In-cabin storage solutions are also very good.
