2024 Hyundai Palisade vs. 2024 Honda Pilot in Mobile, AL

When it comes to choosing the perfect midsize SUV, the 2024 Hyundai Palisade and the Honda Pilot are two strong contenders. At Palmer’s Airport Hyundai in Mobile, AL, we are confident that the 2024 Hyundai Palisade stands out as the superior choice! The vehicle offers exceptional features, performance, and design that set it apart from its competition. Come along as we conduct a detailed comparison to show you why the Palisade is the better option for your driving needs!

Pricing & Trim Options 

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade not only offers exceptional value but also provides a wide array of trim levels to suit different needs and budgets. With a starting MSRP of $36,650, the Palisade is more affordable than the 2024 Honda Pilot. The Palisade gives buyers access to a variety of well-equipped trims, each offering unique features and upgrades. From the base SE trim, which comes generously equipped, to the luxurious Calligraphy trim that includes premium materials and advanced technology, the Palisade ensures that there’s an option for every driver without breaking the bank. This combination of affordability and versatility makes the Palisade a more attractive option for those seeking both quality and value.

Performance and Efficiency

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade stands out as a superior choice with its robust 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 291 horsepower, ensuring a more powerful drive than the 2024 Honda Pilot’s 280-horsepower engine. The Palisade’s 8-speed automatic transmission provides smooth and responsive performance, and its fuel economy of up to 19 MPG city / 26 MPG highway is competitive, though slightly lower than the Pilot. However, the Palisade’s equal towing capacity of 5,000 lbs makes it just as capable of hauling trailers or boats, offering a more powerful and well-rounded driving experience overall.

Interior and Comfort

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade excels in comfort and luxury, seating up to 8 passengers with the option for second-row captain’s chairs, unlike the 2024 Honda Pilot’s base trims. The Palisade offers more cargo space, with up to 86.4 cubic feet available, surpassing the Pilot’s 83.9 cubic feet. In terms of technology, the Palisade impresses with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a premium 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, while the Pilot only includes a 7-inch touchscreen in its base model. Additionally, the Palisade’s luxury features, such as available quilted leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and a 360-degree camera system, enhance the overall driving experience, making it the better choice for those seeking style and sophistication.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The 2024 Hyundai Palisade offers a more comprehensive approach to safety, making it a standout choice. While both the Palisade and the 2024 Honda Pilot come with robust safety suites, the Palisade’s standard Hyundai SmartSense suite goes a step further by including features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist right from the base model. Additionally, the Palisade offers advanced options such as Highway Driving Assist and a head-up display for an enhanced driving experience.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) is not a collision avoidance or warning device. SCC is for highway use only and should not be used in poor weather, heavy or varying traffic, or on winding or slippery roads. Driver remains responsible to slow or stop the vehicle to avoid a collision. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Standard on all trims. 

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning (FCA-JT) is intended to be a supplement to safe driving practices. The system is not designed to detect certain stationary objects such as trees or poles, and may not detect all vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists under certain conditions. The system’s Junction Turning function operates when the vehicle’s left turn signal is activated, the vehicle is travelling between approximately 6-19 mph and the oncoming vehicle’s speed is between approximately 19-44 mph. The system is a driver assistance system and is not a substitute for safe driving. The driver is responsible for being attentive and maintaining control of the vehicle, and should not wait for the system’s alerts before braking as there may not be sufficient time to brake safely. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Standard on Limited trim. 

Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (N-SCC) with Stop & Go and Curve Control can help automatically adjust vehicle speed when driving on highways by using road information from the navigation system. N-SCC only operates on main roads of select highways, and does not operate at interchanges or junctions. N-SCC should not be used in poor weather, heavy or varying traffic, on winding or slippery roads, or if the navigation system is not working properly. N-SCC is a driver convenience feature and not a collision avoidance or warning device. Driver remains responsible for checking the speed limit and distance to the vehicle ahead, steering the vehicle and slowing or stopping the vehicle to avoid a collision. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Driver Attention Warning (DAW) is only a warning to inform the driver of a potential lack of driver attention or drowsiness. It does not detect and provide an alert in every situation. It is the driver’s responsibility to remain alert at all times. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) will not work under all circumstances. It operates above 40 mph and only when it is able to detect painted lane markings. It cannot function if the lane markings cannot be seen clearly. If the lines cannot be seen clearly due to poor road conditions, weather, or lighting conditions, it may not function. It also may not function on very rough roads, when walls, curbs or concrete barriers are close by, or if following another car too closely. Since it “sees” the lane markings using a camera in the upper windshield area, it is imperative this area be clear and free of blockage such as stickers, dirt, snow, tinting material, markings and labels. Lane Keeping Assist is not a substitute for safe driving practices, but is a supplemental assist only. The driver is responsible for always maintaining command and control of the vehicle and must keep hands on the wheel at all times. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Highway Driving Assist (HDA), is for highway use only and can help keep the vehicle centered in its lane while maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead only when the lane markings are clearly visible on the road and should not be used in poor weather, heavy or varying traffic, or on winding or slippery roads. HDA will not work under all circumstances and will not prevent loss of control. Driver remains responsible to slow or stop the vehicle to avoid a collision. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Lane Following Assist (LFA) helps keep the vehicle centered in its lane only when the lane markings are clearly visible on the road. Lane Following Assist will not work under all circumstances and will not prevent loss of control. Lane Following Assist is a supplemental assist, and does not replace the need for extreme care and attention by the driver. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) assists driver in changing lanes by providing a live view of the blind spots on either side of the vehicle and an audible alert if another vehicle is detected. Turn signal must be activated and other system limitations apply. Do not rely exclusively on BVM. It is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Surround View Monitor (SVM) is a parking support system. SVM cannot completely eliminate blind spots, may not detect every object and does not warn of moving objects. Always check surroundings before moving vehicle. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

When the vehicle is parked, Safe Exit Warning (SEW) can alert the driver when a vehicle is approaching from behind. SEW does not work in all situations and is not a substitute for driver or passenger attentiveness. Always be aware of your surroundings and attentive of approaching vehicles. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Upon turning the engine off, Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) will provide a visual alert on the instrument cluster. ROA is not a substitute for driver attentiveness. Never leave a child or pet unattended in a vehicle. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) assists the driver by warning of other cars in the blind spot region. It senses the rear side territory of the vehicle when it is traveling over 20 mph. There are limitations to the function, range, detection and clarity of the system. It will not detect all vehicles or objects in the blind spot. Its operation depends on the size, distance, angle and relative speed difference between your car and other cars. BCA may not operate if sensors are obscured in any way. Do not rely exclusively on BCA. BCA is a supplemental system and the driver must still be attentive and exercise caution when driving. It is the driver’s responsibility to be aware of the surroundings and ensure it is clear before changing lanes or directions. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) can alert the driver of a potential collision by providing an audible warning and/or applying braking. RCCA is active when the vehicle is in reverse and operating at low speeds. Never rely exclusively on RCCA. RCCA cannot prevent all collisions and may not provide alerts or braking in all conditions. Always look over your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm rear clearance. There are limitations to the function, detection, range and clarity of the system. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) can remotely help park the vehicle. However, several factors can impact RSPA performance. RSPA may not function correctly if one or more of the parking sensors is damaged, dirty or covered or if weather conditions (heavy rain, snow or fog) interfere with sensor operation. Always inspect the parking area with your own eyes. See Owner’s Manual for further details and limitations.

Standard on Limited trim. 

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist – Reverse (PCA-R) can alert the driver of a potential hazard while reversing by providing an audible warning and/or applying braking. PCA-R is active when the vehicle is in reverse and operating at low speeds. Never rely exclusively on PCA-R. PCA-R cannot prevent all collisions and may not provide alerts or braking in all conditions. Always look over your shoulder and use your mirrors to confirm rear clearance. There are limitations to the function, detection, range and clarity of the system. See Owner’s Manual for feature details and limitations.
