Used 2022 Hyundai Palisade for Sale nearWaterloo, IA

How much does the 2022 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 13.22% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 3,300 listings available, which suggests you should have a decent amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $26,719.09, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Hyundai Palisade earns a 4.59/5 user rating and an 8.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Cost effectiveness, and Safety.

Drivers consistently praise its spaciousness, luxury features, and smooth ride, and many also value its advanced technology and family-friendly safety equipment. The trade-offs are the road noise some owners mention and the fact that a few desirable features are missing on higher-priced versions.

For you, that means the Palisade makes the most sense if you want a roomy three-row SUV with a polished cabin and upscale presentation rather than a bare-bones utility vehicle. It also fits shoppers who prioritize comfort and features for family use.

Good and great deals percentage: 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

Owners rate it 4.59/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Review feedback also points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with buyers highlighting the Palisade’s comfort, spaciousness, and confidence-inspiring family use.

The V6 powertrain is described as a straightforward, naturally aspirated setup with no turbo lag, which supports a calm, predictable driving character. The ownership package also includes three years/36,000 miles of complimentary maintenance, which helps reduce early service costs.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about basic durability and more about whether the vehicle has been maintained well and kept free of costly wear or accident damage.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Hyundai Palisade?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean title alone does not tell you how the vehicle was maintained or repaired. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin electronics, touchscreen behavior, and any signs of wear in a family-hauling SUV. Focus especially on overall condition, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort, features, and presentation.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE and SEL use an 8-inch screen, while Limited and Calligraphy move to a 10.25-inch display; Limited and Calligraphy also add LED taillights, a surround-view monitor, and a head-up display. The base SE is well equipped, but the upper trims bring a more upscale feel and more convenience features.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 3.8-liter V6 with direct gasoline injection and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, all-wheel drive is available, and the V6 is tuned for smooth, lag-free power rather than class-leading efficiency.
• Safety package: Standard equipment includes blind-spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, lane-following assist, safe exit assist, and trailer sway control. Highway Driving Assist is optional on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.
• Infotainment: Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, along with HD Radio and satellite radio. The system uses an 8-inch screen on SE and SEL, while Limited and Calligraphy get a 10.25-inch touchscreen; Blue Link is standard on upper trims and optional on SEL.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD models are rated at up to 19 mpg city/26 mpg highway/22 mpg combined, while AWD models are rated at 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway/21 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Hyundai Palisade trim should I buy?

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade is offered in 4 trim levels: SE, SEL, Limited, Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value play if you want the Palisade’s core strengths at the lowest entry point. It still gives you the roomy three-row layout, the V6 powertrain, and a strong safety and comfort foundation.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds meaningful convenience and tech upgrades without jumping all the way to luxury pricing. It also opens the door to more available equipment, making it the sweet spot for many used buyers.
• Limited: This trim is the right move if you want a more premium experience, including the larger touchscreen, surround-view monitor, head-up display, and more upscale cabin tech.
• Calligraphy: This is the near-luxury choice, aimed at you if you want the most polished interior presentation and the richest feature set in the lineup.

Highway Driving Assist is optional on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy, so those trims are the ones to target if that feature matters to you.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Hyundai Palisade?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but should still move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.

• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.22% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $26,719.09, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Hyundai Palisade's resale value?

The current average of $26,699 sits slightly below last year's $30,767.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, it also means your resale outcome will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability rather than broad market momentum alone. Well-kept examples with strong equipment and clean history should hold up better than average.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.59/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Hyundai Palisade safe?

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade is a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS and earns five-star ratings from NHTSA for both FWD and AWD models.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard driver-assistance suite includes blind-spot collision avoidance assist, rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist, forward collision-avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, driver attention warning, adaptive cruise control, lane-following assist, safe exit assist, rear occupant alert, and trailer sway control. Forward-looking parking sensors, ultrasonic rear occupant alert, and Highway Driving Assist are optional on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.

That makes the Palisade a strong choice if safety is a top priority, especially if you shop for a trim that includes the added driver-assistance upgrades.

Should I buy a 2022 Hyundai Palisade or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 28.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 81.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.22% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.59/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It combines a polished cabin with strong safety and a comfortable family-focused layout.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $24,031, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $26,699 average.
• It adds more standard equipment and a new luxury-themed trim.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $32,216, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $26,699 average.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the best all-around pick if you want a well-equipped, comfortable three-row SUV with strong safety and broad appeal. If your budget is tighter, the 2021 is the value alternative; if you want newer styling and more features, the 2023 is the upgrade path.
