Question 1

What does the 2025 Hyundai Palisade offer for Canadian families?

Accepted Answer

The 2025 Palisade receives a substantial update with the introduction of a new 12.3-inch centre display featuring Hyundai's CCNC (Connected Car Navigation Cockpit) interface on Preferred and higher trims. The 3.8L V6 engine producing 291 hp retains its family-hauling credentials with a combined fuel consumption of 11.2 L/100 km. Hyundai adds standard ventilated driver's seat on the Ultimate trim, and heated second-row leather seats as standard. The 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) towing capacity allows for towing a mid-size camping trailer or a boat. Three new interior colour options and an adventure-oriented XRT variant round out the 2025 lineup. Pricing starts at approximately $46,999 CAD for the 8-passenger Essential trim, positioning it as strong value against the Toyota Highlander and Ford Explorer.

Question 2

Is the Palisade 2025 V6 3.8L fuel-efficient for an 8-passenger SUV?

Accepted Answer

The 291 hp, 262 lb-ft 3.8L GDI V6 in the 2025 Palisade is a mature and reliable design. Official fuel consumption is 12.3 L/100 km city and 9.7 L/100 km highway, or 11.2 L/100 km combined with AWD. In real Canadian family use (AC in summer, heat in winter, full passenger loads), expect 12.5 to 13.8 L/100 km. Compared to the Toyota Highlander Hybrid (7.6 L/100 km combined), the Palisade V6 consumes noticeably more fuel. However, the approximately $4,000 to $5,000 lower purchase price partially offsets the fuel difference over a 5-year ownership period. The 3.8L GDI's reliability is excellent, with fewer than 1 % of major failures recorded on 2020-2024 vehicles in Canadian service data. Maintenance costs average approximately $700 to $900 per year — reasonable for a 3-row family SUV.

Question 3

Should I buy the 2025 Palisade or the 2025 Kia Telluride — which is right for Canadian buyers?

Accepted Answer

The 2025 Palisade and the 2025 Telluride share the same platform and engine, but differ in styling, feature packaging, and pricing. The Palisade Ultimate (approximately $60,999) features a dual-panel panoramic sunroof, retractable captain's chairs in the second row, and a 12-speaker Bose audio system. The Telluride SX Prestige (approximately $60,499) offers a more rugged exterior aesthetic popular in Canada, more practical centre console storage, and a slightly different weight distribution favouring handling balance. The warranty is identical (5 years/100,000 km powertrain). Both offer comparable reliability and excellent Canadian market value. If you prefer a more luxurious, modern styling, the Palisade is your choice; if you value a tougher look and practical interior ergonomics, the Telluride wins. Most Canadian owners of either vehicle report high satisfaction scores.
