If you plan on checking out the 2024 Hyundai Palisade, we can help you decide which trim is best for you. The Palisade is a three-row SUV with a powerful V6 engine, front- and all-wheel drive configurations, 5,000 lbs of towing might, and several dynamic trim options. When drivers tell us they’re looking for the most value for their dollar, we often show them the SEL trim.

The SEL trim builds on the base SE trim by adding perks like roof rails for extra cargo solutions, an eight-way power driver’s seat, available second-row captain’s chairs, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones. These are some of the items that come standard when you go from the SE to the SEL—however, as a Hyundai dealer dedicated to getting drivers every feature they want, we do like to make sure that they know about the Premium Package.

The Premium Package is unique because it allows you to add some of the luxury, comfort, and convenience features that are standard on the higher-end trims without paying the MSRP of those trims. Below, we’ll cover every feature you get when you add the Premium Package to the SEL trim so you can decide if it’s right for you.

Performance

Auto-Leveling Rear Suspension: The Palisade’s 5,000-lb towing capacity means that this SUV is terrific for camping, boating, ATVing, and similar excursions that mean bringing a large vessel with you. However, towing can throw off the vehicle’s weight distribution. The auto-leveling rear suspension system works by automatically increasing the height of the rear of the vehicle to spread out the weight more evenly, sending more to the front when trailering. If you plan on utilizing the Palisade’s towing powers frequently, you’ll appreciate how this system helps you feel more in control.

Highway Driving Assist II: Hyundai’s semi-autonomous driving system works with Smart Cruise Control and Lane Following Assist to help you stay in your lane and maintain your speed while keeping a safe distance between your vehicle and the one in front of you. When used with Lane Change Assist, if you’re traveling above 37 mph and turn on your turn signal, the system will automatically handle the lane change for you; when other vehicles get too close to you, it will adjust your lane position; and, when moving at slow speeds, this system can react when someone cuts you off to prevent a collision.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist Enhancements: In addition to the standard Forward Collision Assist you get without this package, the Premium Package adds several enhancements to reduce the chances of a head-on crash. Lane Change Oncoming and Lane Change Side can warn you of someone approaching the side of the vehicle when you’re about to change lanes, and Evasive Steering can help you avoid a crash with a slow or stopped vehicle when braking alone isn’t enough.

Surround View Monitor: This monitor gives you a 360-degree view of what’s happening around your Palisade, which can help you make more informed decisions when changing lanes, making turns, coming to a stop, and more.

Blind-Spot View Monitor: This monitor shows live footage on your touchscreen interface of what’s traveling in your blind spot as you signal to change lanes, so you will no longer have to crane your neck to check this tricky area.

Cabin Tech

Harman Kardon Premium Audio System: If music, podcasts, or audiobooks are how you like to pass the time on long commutes, then you’ll love the premium audio system that this package comes with. Harman Kardon actually designed this system specifically for Hyundai vehicles, so every speaker and element has been perfectly placed to enhance the acoustics inside the Palisade.

Passenger Talk: There’s a lot of space between the driver and third-row passengers of a large SUV. In fact, there can be so much that the third-row passengers can’t always hear what the driver says—and if you have kids or teens, they might just pretend they can’t hear you. You can override that issue with the Premium Package’s Passenger Talk, an in-vehicle intercom system that will pipe the driver’s voice through the rear speakers so everyone can hear you.

Homelink: If you have to enter gated garages or gated properties, you’ll like having Homelink. It’s a radio frequency transmitter that’s built right into the Palisade and can be connected to things like garages and gates. So you can just reach up and push a button in your vehicle to open these as you approach—and because it’s built into the vehicle, you don’t need to worry about losing a small remote.

115-volt AC Power Outlet: You can plug standard appliances into your Palisade with the 115-volt AC outlet. One of the most convenient things about it might be that you can plug most laptops into a 115-volt, so if you or a passenger want to stream shows or get work done from the road, they don’t need to worry about the laptop battery dying.

Third-Row USB Outlets: While you do get some data and power USB outlets in the first and second rows in the SE and SEL trim standard, adding the Premium Package gets you two USB power outlets in the third row of the Palisade so that everybody can plug in their tablets and smartphones on the go.

Comfort Features

Four-Way Lumbar Support: Give your front-seat passenger a little extra comfort with four-way lumbar support. They can adjust the support in this sensitive lower back region to fight bodily fatigue on long drives.

Integrated Memory Seat and Mirrors: Get back into the perfect position with ease every time you start the ignition. The memory settings in the driver’s seat and mirrors will reset your seat and the outside mirrors to your desired settings each time you start the engine.

Acoustic Rear Side Glass: Enjoy a quieter cabin with this acoustic rear-side glass that blocks out unwanted road noise.

Power Sunroof: Let some natural sun in when you want it with the power sunroof, or shut it out when you want shade at the push of a button.

Heated Steering Wheel: Never drive with freezing fingers again! The heated steering wheel will warm up your hands fast so you can steer comfortably.

Ventilated Front- and Second-Row Seats: Enjoy a full-body breeze for you, your co-pilot, and second-row passengers with ventilated front- and second-row seats.

Heated Second-Row Seats: Second-row passengers can also be warm and toasty on cold days, thanks to second-row heated seats.
