Used Hyundai Palisade Danville, KY

Used Hyundai Palisade models at Gates Hyundai, serving Danville, Kentucky

Three Rows of Room Without the New-SUV Price

A used Hyundai Palisade puts a genuinely roomy three-row SUV in reach for families near Danville, KY, who need the space but would rather not stretch the budget to get it. At Gates Hyundai, we see these SUVs come through our doors with plenty of good years left, and we know what to look for in one.

  • Every Palisade shares the same V6, so the trim you choose changes the features, not how it drives.
  • Seven or eight seats and up to 86.4 cubic feet of cargo room handle the whole crew plus what they bring.
  • Our finance team works with lenders across the credit spectrum, including buyers rebuilding after a rough patch.

The Palisade built its following quickly because it got the basics right. Wide door openings, a third row where adults can sit, quiet highway manners, and controls you can find without hunting. Families near Danville, KY, tend to cross-shop it against the Telluride and the Highlander, and it holds its own on space and comfort while landing softer on a pre-owned window sticker.

A Cabin Built Around the People Sitting in It

There is 18.0 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row, enough for a full grocery run with every seat occupied. Fold that row, and you have 45.8 cubic feet. Drop the second row too, and the number climbs to 86.4 cubic feet, which is move-in-day territory. Captain's chairs give you seven seats; the bench version, eight; and both slide to trade legroom for cargo depth.

Higher trims layered in heated and ventilated front seats, a dual-panel sunroof, and a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, equipment that makes a pre-owned example feel far more expensive than it is.

The Case for a Used Hyundai Palisade near Danville, KY

This is where the math gets interesting. Somebody else absorbed the steepest stretch of depreciation, and you get the same bones, the same engine, and often still-ticking warranty coverage. Hyundai's powertrain protection runs for 10 years or 100,000 miles for the original owner, with later owners covered under the five-year, 60,000-mile new-vehicle limited warranty.

The trims to know are SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy. SE covers the essentials, SEL adds the convenience gear most shoppers want, XRT brings a rugged look, and the top two pile on leather and quieter cabin materials. Browse our selection online to see which ones are on the lot now.

V6 Power That Never Feels Strained

Under the hood sits a 3.8-liter V6 making 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. No turbo, no small-displacement compromise. It pulls a loaded SUV up a grade without dropping three gears and complaining about it, and EPA ratings land at 19 mpg city and 26 highway with front-wheel drive.

HTRAC all-wheel drive is worth hunting for if you spend winters on two-lane roads through horse country. It sends power rearward when the front tires slip and adds a lock mode for deeper snow. It also matters if you tow: with all-wheel drive and the tow package, the Palisade is rated at 5,000 pounds with trailer brakes, enough for a bass boat or a small camper. Front-wheel-drive models carry a lower rating, so check the specific SUV before you hitch anything to it.

Driver Assistance That Came Standard

Hyundai loaded this SUV from the base trim up. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Safe Exit Assist were all standard. Parents notice the last one, since it keeps the rear doors shut when it senses traffic approaching from behind.

How We Check Every Pre-Owned SUV on Our Lot

Our ASE-certified technicians go through each vehicle before it earns a spot out front. Brakes, tires, fluids, belts, and any deferred maintenance get addressed or disclosed, and we hand over the history report rather than waiting to be asked. A used SUV is only a good deal when you know what you are getting. The chart below lays out the mechanical details so you can compare listings against real figures.

Specification Figure What It Means Day to Day
Engine 3.8L Lambda II Atkinson-cycle GDI V6 The same engine in every trim, so an SE drives like a Calligraphy.
Horsepower 291 hp @ 6,000 rpm Confident merging even with all three rows full.
Torque 262 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm Steady pull on hills without constant downshifting.
Transmission 8-speed automatic with SHIFTRONIC Smooth around town, relaxed revs at highway speed.
Drivetrain FWD standard, HTRAC AWD available AWD models add traction for wet leaves and winter mornings.
Fuel economy (FWD) 19 city / 26 hwy / 22 combined mpg Reasonable running costs for a V6 this size.
Fuel economy (AWD) 19 city / 24 hwy / 21 combined mpg A small trade for year-round traction.
Seating 7 or 8 across three rows Captain's chairs for seven, bench for eight.
Cargo behind 3rd row 18.0 cu ft A full grocery haul with every seat occupied.
Cargo behind 2nd row 45.8 cu ft Enough for luggage on a long family trip.
Maximum cargo 86.4 cu ft behind front seats Move-in day handled without renting a truck.
Towing (trailer brakes) Up to 5,000 lb with AWD and the tow package A bass boat or small camper. Front-drive models are rated lower, so confirm the build.
Towing (no trailer brakes) 1,650 lb A utility trailer for mulch and mower runs.
Fuel tank 18.8 gallons Roughly 400 miles of mixed driving between fills.
Ground clearance 7.9 in Gravel drives and snowy shoulders are no trouble.
Trims to look for SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, Calligraphy Features and materials climb; the powertrain stays put.

Figures reflect Palisade models built with the 3.8-liter V6, the engine used across the trim lineup through the SUV's first generation. Ratings and equipment vary by model year and build, and cargo and towing figures apply when properly equipped. Confirm the window sticker on the specific vehicle you are considering.

Financing Built Around Your Real Situation

Our in-house finance team works with a wide network of lenders, which matters more on a pre-owned deal than most people expect. Strong credit, credit you are rebuilding after a bankruptcy or a run of medical bills, or barely any history at all, we have placed all three. Start a pre-approval online, and you will know where you stand before you sit down.

The Gates Family Has Been Selling Cars Since 1915

Four generations in, we still run this place the way the family always has. No gimmicks, no pressure, no rushing you toward a signature. We have handed customers the keys and told them to take a vehicle for the day and see whether it fits their life. That is a strange way to sell cars if the goal is a quick close. It works fine if the goal is a customer who comes back in six years for the next one.

Drivers near Danville, KY, make the trip because the way we do business is worth a few extra miles. Come see what we have on the lot, take one out on the highway, and let our team answer the questions you walked in with.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many people can a Hyundai Palisade seat?

The Palisade seats seven or eight passengers across three rows, depending on how the second row is configured. Models with second-row captain's chairs carry seven, while bench-seat versions carry eight. Both layouts include a third row that adults can use without complaint on shorter trips.

What engine comes in a used Hyundai Palisade?

A used Hyundai Palisade from the first generation carries a 3.8-liter V6 rated at 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. Hyundai used that same engine across every trim, so the SE drives with the same power as the Calligraphy. Front-wheel drive was standard, and HTRAC all-wheel drive was available.

Can a Hyundai Palisade tow a boat or camper?

Yes. With all-wheel drive and the tow package, the Palisade is rated to pull up to 5,000 pounds when the trailer has its own brakes, and 1,650 pounds without them. Front-wheel-drive models carry a lower rating. That covers a small fishing boat, a pop-up camper, or a utility trailer loaded with yard equipment, and we can walk you through what a specific SUV on our lot is set up to handle.

Where can I find a used Hyundai Palisade near me?

Gates Hyundai regularly keeps pre-owned Palisade models in stock, and the drive from Danville is easy. You can see what we have in stock on our website before you make the trip. If we do not have the trim or color you want on the ground, tell us, and we will keep an eye out.

Does Gates Hyundai finance used vehicles for buyers with credit challenges?

We do. Our finance team works with a network of lenders, including several that specialize in helping people rebuild after a bankruptcy, a stretch of medical bills, or a thin credit file. You can start a pre-approval online, and we will tell you straight what your options look like.

Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a Palisade?

Yes, and we appraise any make or model. Our online trade tool gives you a starting number in a couple of minutes, then our team confirms it once we see the vehicle in person. Trade equity goes straight toward your down payment, which usually brings the monthly figure down.
