Comparison Review

Comfort
The Hyundai Palisade offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Tucson, with comparable head- and legroom. The Hyundai Palisade will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Tucson.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Palisade as you will with the Hyundai Tucson, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Hyundai Palisade will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Hyundai Tucson, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Palisade is much wider than the Hyundai Tucson, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Hyundai Palisade, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Tucson.

Handling
The Hyundai Palisade has the same turning radius as the Hyundai Tucson, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Hyundai Palisade is clearly the choice over the Hyundai Tucson for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Hyundai Palisade greatly out-muscles the Hyundai Tucson.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Hyundai Palisade does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Hyundai Tucson.

Utility
The Hyundai Palisade offers greater seating capacity than the Hyundai Tucson, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. The Hyundai Palisade has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Hyundai Tucson.
