2027 Hyundai Palisade Trim Levels From SE to Calligraphy Compared

Three rows, room for the whole crew, and a V6 that handles a loaded weekend without breaking a sweat. That’s the Palisade pitch, and this model year gives shoppers six gas trims and a hybrid lineup to sort through. Picking the right one keeps you from paying for features you’ll never touch.

• Six gas trims share one 287-horsepower V6, so the differences come down to seating, technology, and convenience features.
• Starting MSRP runs from $39,735 for the SE to $54,860 for the Calligraphy, before freight, tax, title, and license fees.
• Every gas trim tows up to 5,000 pounds with trailer brakes, and HTRAC all-wheel drive is available across the lineup.

Finding the Palisade Trim That Fits Your Indiana Life

Driving in Indiana covers a lot of ground. One week it’s the I-465 loop at rush hour. The next it’s an I-65 run toward Chicago or Louisville with the back seats full. A trim that suits the daily commute may not suit a weekend at Brown County State Park. Here’s the 2027 Hyundai Palisade Trim Level Breakdown in plain English, starting at the bottom of the ladder.

SE and SEL Handle Everyday Family Life

The SE starts at $39,735 and seats eight with a second-row bench. You get a 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Hyundai SmartSense safety features are on the list too. Cloth seats and a 4.2-inch color gauge display mark it as the value pick. You won’t find heated front seats or a wireless charging pad on this one.

At $42,240, the SEL fills in most of those gaps. It adds H-Tex seating, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heated front seats, a wireless charger, and a hands-free liftgate. You can choose a seven- or eight-passenger layout.

SEL Premium and Limited Add the Upgrades Shoppers Ask About

The SEL Premium, from $45,600, is where the Palisade starts to feel loaded. Ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power sunroof all arrive here. So do heated second-row seats, a Surround View Monitor, and Hyundai Digital Key 2. A packed lot at Fashion Mall at Keystone gets a lot easier with that 360-degree camera view.

The Limited, from $50,070, moves to leather-trimmed seats, 20-inch wheels, a dual-panel sunroof, and a Bose 14-speaker audio system. It also gets a factory tow hitch and heated third-row seats. Those heated rear seats earn their keep on a January morning in Indianapolis, and the kids will let you know it.

XRT PRO Heads for Gravel and Calligraphy Heads for the Spotlight

The XRT PRO starts at $50,170 and comes only with HTRAC all-wheel drive. It adds an electronic rear limited-slip differential and all-terrain tires on 18-inch wheels. You also get 8.4 inches of ground clearance, recovery hooks front and rear, and Terrain Mode Select. The trade-off is fuel economy, rated at 19 mpg combined.

The Calligraphy, from $54,860, tops the gas lineup. It brings Nappa leather, 21-inch wheels, a head-up display, and Highway Driving Assist 2. Remote Smart Parking Assist and a built-in dash cam come along too. Relaxation seat modes make long stretches of I-70 feel shorter.

What About the Palisade Hybrid?

The hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter turbo engine with electric motors for 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Hyundai says select trims top 30 mpg, and the hybrid starts at $44,560. The gas V6 makes 287 horsepower and is rated up to 22 mpg combined with front-wheel drive. If your week includes plenty of highway miles, the hybrid deserves a test drive.

Picking the Trim That Fits Most Indiana Drivers

Most families will land on the SEL Premium. It’s the first trim with ventilated seats, a surround view camera, and a sunroof, and it sits well below the Limited in price. If keeping the payment low matters most, the SE is your trim. Want leather and Bose audio? Look at the Limited. Gravel roads on your regular route point to the XRT PRO.
