A Consistent Hot-Seller for Hyundai

Ever since its introduction to the US market in 2019, the Hyundai Palisade has consistently sold well, with its strongest sales performance in 2024 when it recorded over 110,000 units delivered. That momentum continues well into 2025; in the first half of the year, Hyundai sold 439,280 vehicles – a 10 % increase over the same period in 2024, marking the strongest opening six months in company history. Over 57,000 of those were Palisades.

That success underscores why SUVs like the Palisade are in such high demand. But as Hyundai readies the next-generation model, the value proposition of the outgoing 2025 Palisade is becoming irresistible.

For buyers who've set their sights on a three-row SUV that blends comfort, capability, and modern tech, now may be the smartest time to buy – before the model is replaced and prices rebound.

Discounts for the 2025 Palisade are Tempting

Listings for the 2025 Palisade on Cars.com right now reveal attractive discounts. A 2025 SEL Premium is listed at $45,004, marked down from an MSRP of $48,315. A base SE model starts at $38,574, slightly undercutting its official price by about $1,374. Meanwhile, a fully loaded Calligraphy Night Edition is listed for $52,589, offering nearly $2,750 in savings off its typical $56,889 price.

Across multiple trims, discounts range from $1,000 to well over $5,000. That said, the outgoing Palisade is a tempting proposition, especially for buyers looking to score features like adaptive cruise control, three-zone climate, heated and ventilated seating, large-format infotainment screens, and high-end interior finishes, without paying new-generation premiums.

With inventory transitioning soon, now may be the best window to get a richly equipped three-row SUV at a significantly reduced cost.

The New‑Gen 2026 Palisade is Worth the Wait, Too

The 2026 Palisade arrives this summer with substantial upgrades, especially in refinement and technology, though with slightly higher pricing. The updated model debuts at $38,935 for the SE FWD base (just $1,735 above the 2025 model), while the range-topping Calligraphy AWD climbs to $56,060 for gas models. The all-new Hybrid variant starts at $43,660 (Blue SEL FWD) and tops out at $58,280 (Calligraphy AWD).

Fully loaded hybrids and the rugged XRT PRO trim (with lifted suspension, all-terrain tires, and mud/sand/snow modes) provide premium SUV capabilities starting in the low‑$50,000 range. Inside, buyers get twin 12.3‑inch digital displays, USB‑C ports in all three rows, and optional relaxation seats with deployable leg rests, bringing luxury that belies its price point.

If you're in the market now, the outgoing 2025 Palisade offers exceptional value at discounted pricing despite generous equipment levels. But if you want the latest tech, hybrid efficiency (30 mpg+), and the enhanced ride quality of the new generation, waiting for the 2026 Palisade – and factoring in its modest price bump – could be well worth it.

Make sure to shop around and choose based on whether you prioritize immediate savings or the improvements on the new-generation model.
