Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Nicholasville, KY
Three Rows of Space With Fuel Economy That Keeps Pace
Bigger families have spent years trading fuel economy for room. The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid takes that trade-off off the table with seating for up to eight, 329 combined horsepower, and EPA-estimated numbers that hold their own against smaller crossovers. Find your next Hyundai SUV at Gates Hyundai near Nicholasville, KY, today.
- A turbocharged hybrid powertrain produces 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of combined torque.
- Front-wheel-drive Blue SEL and Blue SEL Premium models are EPA-estimated at 33 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.

At Gates Hyundai, we have watched the three-row SUV become the default family vehicle across central Kentucky. What has changed is the fuel bill. A hybrid system in a vehicle this size makes a real difference on a school run, a weekend haul, or a long stretch of I-75 with everyone aboard. We are a fourth-generation, family-owned store, and we sell the way we would want to be sold to, which means nobody rushes you.
The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Delivers for Drivers near Nicholasville, KY
Every trim shares the same setup: a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder paired with electric motors and a six-speed automatic transmission. Combined, the system delivers 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, which is 42 more horsepower than the gas Palisade's V6 and plenty for merging onto the interstate with a full load and a roof box.
Efficiency depends on how you configure it. Front-drive Blue SEL and Blue SEL Premium models earn EPA-estimated ratings of 33 mpg city and 35 mpg highway, good for an estimated 619 miles on a single 18.2-gallon tank. Limited and Calligraphy with front-wheel drive come in at 31 city and 32 highway on their larger wheels. Add HTRAC all-wheel drive to any trim and the rating settles at 29 city and 30 highway, a fair trade for winter footing on back roads. Towing tops out at 4,000 pounds with trailer brakes.
Room for Everyone and Everything They Bring
Second-row captain's chairs are standard, and Blue SEL, Blue SEL Premium, and Limited can be ordered with an eight-passenger bench instead. Cargo room measures 19.1 cubic feet behind the third row, 46.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and 86.7 cubic feet with both rows folded flat. Third-row legroom comes in at 32.1 inches, which is workable for adults on a short hop and generous for kids on a long one. Heated and ventilated front and second-row seats arrive on Blue SEL Premium, and Limited adds heated third-row seats. Come sit in all three rows before you decide.

Figures reflect Hyundai's published specifications for the current Palisade Hybrid. Range figures are calculated from EPA combined estimates and the 18.2-gallon tank. Equipment and ratings vary by model year and build, so confirm the window sticker on the specific vehicle you are considering.
A Calligraphy Black Ink package is also offered, pairing blacked-out exterior trim and black alloy wheels with black Nappa leather inside. One thing worth knowing across the hybrid lineup: these trims carry a tire mobility kit rather than a spare, which is how Hyundai claws back some weight and cargo space.
Any of these four will haul a family and their gear without complaint, so the real decision comes down to how much comfort and technology you want along for the ride. That gets easier to sort out once you have sat in a couple of them back-to-back, which is exactly what a Saturday afternoon on our lot is for.
Tech and Safety That Earn Their Keep
Twin 12.3-inch screens handle the gauges and the touchscreen on every trim, joined by wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, onboard navigation, a wireless charging pad, and high-power USB-C ports in all three rows.
Hyundai SmartSense is standard, covering forward collision avoidance with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-keeping assist, safe exit assist, and navigation-based smart cruise control with stop-and-go. Calligraphy upgrades to Highway Driving Assist II and adds Remote Smart Parking Assist along with a built-in front and rear dash cam.
