Performance
Hyundai smartly keeps things simple with the 2024 Palisade, fitting a standard 3.8-liter V-6 under the hood that provides 291 horsepower with 262 pound-feet of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard, as is an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers from Beavercreek and Dayton will certainly want to consider the available all-wheel drive system for better traction and control when you have to drive through wintery conditions with ice- and snow-slicked roads around here. The Palisade, when properly configured, can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
The new 2024 Santa Fe is slightly less powerful, however you'll have a couple of powertrain options, including a hybrid setup. For most Santa Fe editions, you'll find a standard turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder that produces 277 horsepower with 311 pound-feet of torque. Choose the turbocharged 1.6-liter hybrid setup that has a total output of 232 horsepower with 271 pound-feet of torque and slightly better fuel economy. The Santa Fe is also offered with AWD in every trim, and will generally be the more efficient option, especially with its hybrid setup, between these two SUVs. In its top trim, the Santa Fe has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.
Interior Dimensions and Passenger Capacity
Obviously, the new 2024 Hyundai Palisade is the way to go if you're regularly driving several passengers around Cincinnati and Kettering. Most setups accommodate up to eight total passengers, while some options swap out the middle-row bench for a pair of captain's seats, which reduces your capacity to seven total people, but opens up more space in the middle of your Palisade's cabin for different types of cargo. The middle- and back-row seats and benches are all easily adjustable as well, making it simple for you to squeeze in all kinds of passengers and cargo inside this high-end family ride.
The Santa Fe is slightly smaller than the Palisade, but still offers setups that accommodate either six or seven passengers. Hyundai once again offers the swap of the standard middle-row bench for two captain's chairs, while all seats are easily adjustable to create more space for cargo.
Pricing
As both of Hyundai's three-row SUVs are generously equipped with the brand's latest tech features for the 2024 model year, complete with advanced driver assistance systems for safety, and all sorts of infotainment, connectivity, and convenience functions that come standard or as options, you'll want to get down to the details. With the new Palisade, priced considerably higher than the Santa Fe, you'll have all sorts of luxury-adjacent styling, touches, appointments, and features inside, while the Santa Fe, still beautifully designed inside and out, mostly sticks to the basics, and will be the more-affordable option.
