Compare The 2024 Hyundai Palisade XRT vs Calligraphy - Phoenix, AZ

2024 Hyundai Palisade XRT vs 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy

The gorgeous three-row Palisade is one of Hyundai's largest SUVs and a monument to their success over the years. If you've ever loved a Hyundai vehicle, you'll probably love the Palisade. An XRT is built for ruggedness, and the Calligraphy is designed for ultimate refinement. These are two excellent trims to compare.

Performance

Each Hyundai Palisade comes with a 3.8L V6 engine rated at 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. XRT and Calligraphy trims also grab a standard 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC technology. Because SmartSense features differ by trim, there's a good chance the Calligraphy adds a few technologies that might even out the drive. For example, the XRT offers almost all advanced safety features available for the Palisade. Still, the Calligraphy trim adds forward collision-avoidance systems for more situations, such as side lane changes or lane changes with oncoming traffic.

Appearance

Many people will choose the XRT and Calligraphy based on their exterior design. Both get exclusive 20-inch wheels that are designed just for their own respective looks. You can also count on both models for LED headlamps, a hands-free smart power liftgate, and roof rails. Exterior accents vary widely between the two trims. A 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy offers silver roof rails, and the XRT trim offers black roof rails. Each one has a distinct grille, too, with the XRT boasting a dark finish XRT grille and the Calligraphy getting a premium grille with satin chrome coating.

Features

The Palisade is known for its large, well-decorated interior. Even though it's in the middle of the trim lineup, the XRT has an inspiring interior design thanks to its 8-way power adjustable driver seat, heated front seats, and sliding second-row seats with electric cargo-area releases. An XRT even has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 12.3-inch infotainment system. For those who want even more, you'll find it in the Calligraphy trim and its standard 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system, Passenger Talk in-car intercom, and dual-panel sunroof.

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is the ultimate SUV for road trips, daily commutes, and professional occasions. You can always show off in a Palisade.
