How much does the 2020 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 12.54% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,058 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2020 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

Yes — the 2020 Hyundai Palisade earns a 4.8/5 user rating, and our experts rate it 8.2/10. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Technology.

The main trade-offs are its fairly pedestrian performance and a few complaints about missing tech features or towing-package quirks.

That fits the Palisade’s mission well: it is aimed at you if you want a spacious, comfortable, versatile 3-row SUV that feels more upscale than its price suggests. It also sits in a market where 37.4% of listings are good or great deals, which supports the value case.

The expert review also notes that the Palisade presents itself as a truly upscale and versatile SUV, with few gripes after extended time behind the wheel.

The review also points to solid everyday dependability from the powertrain and transmission, which helps reinforce confidence for used buyers. For long-term ownership, the main risk is less about major flaws and more about making sure the specific example you buy has been cared for properly.

What should I look for when buying a used 2020 Hyundai Palisade?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 75.1% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you are shopping outside the cleanest listings. Focus on condition, equipment operation, and whether the SUV has the features you want, since the trim walk changes the ownership experience quite a bit.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE gives you acoustic-laminated glass, cloth upholstery, a 6-way adjustable driver’s seat, power-folding second-row seats, a digital instrument panel, a touchscreen infotainment system, 18-inch alloy wheels, driver-assistance features, and front and rear parking sensors. The SEL adds second-row captain’s chairs, satin chrome exterior details, integrated roof rails, push-button start, an 8-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, second-row automatic climate controls, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Limited adds 20-inch wheels, LED headlights, side puddle lights, ambient cabin lighting, rain-sensing wipers, a dual sunroof, a hands-free smart power liftgate, leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, driver’s seat memory, and power-folding third-row seats. CarGurus recommends the mid-range SEL trim as the best value.
• Powertrain: The Palisade uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Power goes through an 8-speed automatic transmission to front-wheel drive or available all-wheel drive, and the drive-mode system includes Sport, Comfort, Eco, Snow, and Smart settings.
• Safety package: Every Palisade comes with forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, parking sensors, a reversing camera, child-seat anchors, and a full array of front- and side-impact airbags. It also uses a blind-spot camera system that projects a live image into the instrument panel when you signal.
• Infotainment: The standard setup is an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, and multiple USB ports. The SEL can be upgraded to a 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, satellite radio, and an in-car intercom, while the Limited gets the larger screen standard along with real-time traffic updates, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a surround-view monitor, and a head-up display.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-wheel-drive model returns 19 mpg city, 26 highway, and 22 combined. The all-wheel-drive model returns 19/24/21.

Which 2020 Hyundai Palisade trim should I buy?

The 2020 Hyundai Palisade is offered in 3 trim levels: SE, SEL, and Limited.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the entry point, but it still gives you a strong equipment list with standard driver-assistance features, parking sensors, a digital instrument panel, and a touchscreen infotainment system. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Palisade without giving up the core family-SUV essentials.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim because it adds captain’s chairs, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, push-button start, roof rails, and a power driver’s seat while staying far below the Limited’s price. If you want the sweet spot between price and features, this is the one to target.
• Limited: This is the most upscale version, with 20-inch wheels, LED headlights, ambient lighting, a dual sunroof, a hands-free liftgate, leather upholstery, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, and more premium tech. Choose it if you want the most luxurious Palisade experience and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim just to get the core driver-assistance features.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2020 Hyundai Palisade?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and pricing movement to reward careful shopping.

• Deal availability: 37.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,058 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.54% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 75.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $20,400, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2020 Hyundai Palisade's resale value?

The current average of $20,400 sits slightly below last year's $23,326.

That drop suggests the Palisade has become more affordable on the used market, which can help you buy in at a better price today. For a future seller, the softer pricing means you should expect more competition from similarly equipped listings when it is time to resell.

The good news is that the Palisade still has strong appeal because it combines style, space, and value in a way many shoppers want. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2020 Hyundai Palisade safe?

Every Palisade comes with forward-collision avoidance with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, driver-attention warning, parking sensors, a reversing camera, child-seat anchors, and a full array of front- and side-impact airbags.

Should I buy a 2020 Hyundai Palisade or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2020 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2020 if:

• 37.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.54% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $22,745, the 2021 costs more than the current year's $20,400 average.
• It adds more standard equipment and a new luxury-themed trim.

The bottom line: If you want the better bargain, the 2020 is the smarter buy because it combines strong value, broad appeal, and a lower average price. If you are willing to spend more for added equipment and a more premium trim lineup, the 2021 is the better path.
