The 2024 Hyundai Palisade is here, and it brings some exciting changes to this already beloved three-row SUV. While the Palisade retains its core appeal, the introduction of the Night Edition and other enhancements promises an even more thrilling driving experience.

The spotlight shines on the Night Edition, a new addition to the top-tier Calligraphy trim. This edition introduces a sense of sophistication, with black and dark chrome trim accents and striking 20-inch black wheels. The Night Edition takes the Palisade's aesthetics to a whole new level.

Inside, the Calligraphy Night Edition offers black microsuede seating surfaces complemented by dark aluminum upper trim, setting a distinctive tone. Notably, Nappa Leather, a hallmark of the regular Calligraphy trim, is not available in the Night Edition.

The Night Edition doesn't stop at appearances; it also packs performance upgrades, including black roof rails, HTRAC all-wheel drive, downhill brake control, Snow and Tow driving modes, and an AWD locking feature. You can choose between two captivating exterior colors, Abyss Black or Hyper White.

The 2024 Palisade lineup sees improvements across the board. The SE trim now comes equipped with dual-zone climate control and second-row temperature control, features previously reserved for higher trims. Manual window shades for rear windows are added to every trim from the XRT and up, though the SEL Premium loses this feature. Additionally, the Limited and Calligraphy trims receive ambient lighting, adding a touch of elegance to the cabin.
