Used 2025 Hyundai Palisade for Sale nearAppleton, WI

How much does the 2025 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 17.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 5,381 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2025 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

Yes — the 2025 Hyundai Palisade earns a 5/5 user rating and a 9/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Form and function at 10/10.

It fits well as a roomy, mainstream three-row SUV for family use, and the overall package is still competitive in the midsize three-row class. The current model also benefits from added standard equipment on the XRT, while the outgoing-generation status means you should weigh its appeal against the redesigned version coming next.

The market shows 39.4% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2025 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Palisade’s reliability case is helped by the fact that Hyundai has steadily improved the SUV since its debut, and the 2025 version is described as having aged remarkably well. Its powertrain is also presented as smooth and refined, with strong performance and a transmission that shifts cleanly.

You also get three years or 36,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance, which lowers early ownership hassle. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is the outgoing version, so you should be especially careful about condition and maintenance history.

What should I look for when buying a used 2025 Hyundai Palisade?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with multiple owners. Focus on overall condition, service records, and whether the features you want are present on the specific trim you’re shopping.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base SE trim level already has a clean, modern look and feel, while higher trims add premium leather, artificial suede, seat piping, metal speaker grilles, and other luxury cues. The XRT also adds more standard equipment, so base-trim shoppers should check for the feature gaps that matter most to them.
• Powertrain: Every 2025 Palisade uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic. It’s smooth and refined, but it is not especially fuel-efficient.
• Safety package: Hyundai SmartSense includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, intersection turning assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and Highway Driving Assist. The SEL adds an ultrasonic rear occupant alert system, the XRT adds front parking sensors and a surround-view camera, and the SEL Premium adds Blind Spot View Monitor, evasive steering assist, and lane-change assist functions.
• Infotainment: You get a 12.3-inch digital driver display and a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a cable, so you do not get wireless smartphone integration.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA says the Palisade averages 22 mpg in combined driving, or 21 mpg with AWD.

Which 2025 Hyundai Palisade trim should I buy?

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is offered in 7 trim levels: SE, SEL, XRT, SEL Premium, Limited, Calligraphy, and Calligraphy Night Edition.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the entry point, and it already gives you the Palisade’s upscale design and roomy family-hauler character. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the model, but you should compare it carefully against the better-equipped trims.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the ultrasonic rear occupant alert system while staying below the more expensive luxury-focused versions.
• XRT: Choose this if you want the added standard equipment, including front parking sensors and a surround-view camera, without moving all the way up the lineup.
• SEL Premium: This trim adds Blind Spot View Monitor, evasive steering assist, and lane-change assist functions, making it a strong pick if you want more advanced driver-assistance tech.
• Limited: This trim does not improve on the SEL Premium, so it makes the most sense if you find one priced well or want its specific equipment mix.
• Calligraphy: This is the luxury-leaning choice, with automatic braking when parking and Remote Smart Parking Assist, plus the most premium cabin presentation.
• Calligraphy Night Edition: Pick this if you want the most dramatic appearance and top-end feel in the lineup.

The safety package is bundled under Hyundai SmartSense, and the higher trims add useful extras rather than replacing the core standard suite.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2025 Hyundai Palisade?

This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop carefully without rushing.

• Deal availability: 39.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 5,381 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 90.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $34,171, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2025 Hyundai Palisade's resale value?

The current average of $34,171 sits slightly below last year's $41,499.

That drop suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the good news is that the Palisade still has strong appeal thanks to its roomy layout, upscale feel, and broad family-friendly usefulness.

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

Is the 2025 Hyundai Palisade safe?

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade earns a Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, but a Poor result in the updated moderate overlap frontal-impact test kept it from repeating that honor in 2025. It earns four-star ratings in rollover resistance and five-star ratings in frontal impact from NHTSA.

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

Hyundai SmartSense is the standard driver-assistance suite, and it includes forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, intersection turning assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and Highway Driving Assist. The HDA system combines adaptive cruise control with lane-centering assist to create a hands-on highway aid.

A few trims add extra safety tech: the SEL gets an ultrasonic rear occupant alert system, the XRT adds front parking sensors and a surround-view camera, the SEL Premium adds Blind Spot View Monitor, evasive steering assist, and lane-change assist functions, and the Calligraphy adds automatic braking when parking plus Remote Smart Parking Assist. The lane-keeping assist system is not a highlight in typical driving, even though Highway Driving Assist works very well.

Should I buy a 2025 Hyundai Palisade or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2025 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2025 if:

• 39.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 90.7% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 17.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2025 adds more standard equipment on the XRT and remains a well-rounded outgoing model.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $33,036, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $34,171 average.
• It offers a distinctive design with upscale materials and thoughtful amenities.

Consider the 2026 if:

• It is a redesigned three-row SUV with broader improvements over the outgoing version.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of value, equipment, and current market availability, the 2025 is the primary path to consider. If your budget is tighter, the 2024 is the price-sensitive alternative, while the 2026 makes sense if you want the redesigned version and are willing to pay for it.
