2022 Hyundai Palisade engine specs

Whether you’re towing a boat or heading up a steep hill, the Palisade provides plenty of power to get the job done. All 2022 Palisade models come standard with a robust 3.8-liter V6 engine. With its 24-valve dual-continuous-variable-valve timing and gasoline direct injection system, the engine cranks out 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. 

The efficiency of the engine is aided by its idle stop and go system. When the Palisade is idling, the engine temporarily shuts off to conserve fuel. How about towing prowess? With its 291 hp engine, the Palisade can tow up to 291 pounds. 

Additional performance features in the 2022 Hyundai Palisade

The 2022 Palisade has many other features for aiding its performance and driving dynamics. Its engine channels power through an 8-speed automatic transmission with a shift-by-wire system. For manual shifting capabilities, the Palisade has a manual shift mode. Also, to help prevent the transmission from overheating, it features a cooling system.

With the Palisade, you have a choice of either a front-wheel drive or an all-wheel drive system. All models come standard with the front-wheel drive, while the all-wheel drive is an optional feature, so you’ll have to pay extra to get it. If you live in a climate with messy winter road conditions or want to head off-road, the all-wheel drive system is worth the additional cost. However, if you live in a year-round sunny and warm locale and only do on-road driving, the front-wheel drive will suffice.

For an extra layer of confidence in snowy driving conditions, the Palisade offers an available snow mode. Also, for customized driving, the Palisade has a drive mode select feature. Also, you can safely drive down a hill with the downhill brake control feature. 

The suspension of the Palisade has a MacPherson strut front and an independent multi-link rear set-up. With its motor-driven power steering system, the Palisade provides precise steering. Confident braking for the Palisade comes courtesy of the 4-wheel disc brakes.
