If you’ve got a full house, a busy calendar, and no patience for vehicles that can’t keep up, a midsize SUV with space and flexibility is probably at the top of your list. The Hyundai Palisade checks all those boxes. It’s built for families, road-trippers, carpoolers, and anyone who needs serious space with a little style.
In other words, it fits right in around Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania. Read below as we’ll break down features, trims, and how you can buy or lease one from Bowser Hyundai of Pleasant Hills.
Let’s start with what you’ll actually use: room, comfort, and tech. The Hyundai Palisade comes standard with 8-passenger seating using a second-row bench. Whether you’re running a carpool to West Jefferson Hills schools or hauling everyone to Kennywood for the weekend, you’ve got the space to bring the whole crew.
Everyone stays connected too, thanks to standard Wi-Fi hotspot capability. It’s helpful when your kids need to stream a show on the way to Grandma’s or you need a signal while parked at South Park. And when you’re on backroads outside Allegheny County—the available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system automatically adjusts traction so you stay in control. It’s smart, simple, and built to work behind the scenes when conditions get messy.
Moreover, the Hyundai Palisade was ranked #1 among Upper Midsize SUVs in the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study.* That means it outperformed competitors in reliability and long-term satisfaction.
The SEL trim of the Palisade includes Advanced Rear Occupant Alert, which uses ultrasonic sensors to detect if something—or someone—is still in the backseat after you’ve exited the vehicle. It’s a small thing, but it gives peace of mind during the chaos of a busy morning.
Next is the XRT, which adds a confident look and Parking Distance Warning, so you can back into tight spots around the city or at crowded school pickup lines without stress. It’s helpful when visibility is low or space is tight.
Then there’s the SEL Premium trim, which offers a Surround View Monitor. It gives you a bird’s-eye view of your surroundings—useful when parallel parking on East Bruceton Road or navigating those odd-angled drive-thru lanes. It’s an extra set of eyes when you need them most.
When you’re ready to take the next step, you can start by using the Value Your Trade tool. Just enter some basic info about your current car, and you’ll get a trade-in estimate. This helps you know how much equity you can put toward your new Palisade.
Then, head over to the Finance Application. It’s all online, and it saves you time when you visit the dealership. Completing both steps together gives you a clearer picture of what’s affordable—whether you’re buying or leasing—and it makes the in-store process smoother.
The Hyundai Palisade comfortably seats seven or eight passengers, depending on how it’s configured. A second-row bench comes standard, giving you max capacity for families or friend groups. If you’d prefer a little extra comfort, many trims offer second-row captain’s chairs instead. That setup gives passengers more space and easier access to the third row.
Yes, HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available on all trims. It’s a smart addition for anyone driving in Western PA’s shifting weather. Whether you’re handling slick side streets in winter or driving through hilly terrain near the Laurel Highlands, AWD helps keep things steady. You don’t have to think about it—it just works in the background when traction changes.
It does. When properly equipped, the Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds.** That’s enough for a lightweight camper, a small boat, or even a couple of ATVs. It’s a great match for families in Pleasant Hills who want an SUV that can pull double duty—getting you through your daily routine and heading out of town on the weekends without switching vehicles.
The Hyundai Palisade is one of those vehicles that just works—whether you’re juggling kids, groceries, or weekend plans. At Bowser Hyundai of Pleasant Hills, we’re just a short drive from the Pleasant Hills Giant Eagle, so you could stop by before or after your next grocery run. Schedule a test drive or talk with someone in finance to get the ball rolling.
