Puts More Than Pep in Your Step
The Toyota Highlander will help you get ready for your early-morning aerobics class with its 2.4-liter turbocharged engine that generates 265 horsepower. However, if you’re motivated to beat your mile time before an 8-hour workday, the Hyundai has the juice you need. Its 3.8-liter V6 engine outputs 291 horsepower. What a thrill!
Interior
Get Cozy
Your comfort is a top priority in either SUV. For starters, each model offers several upholstery options to match your desired coziness level. While the Hyundai and the Toyota both have cloth, leatherette, and leather-trimmed seating, only the Palisade offers Premium Nappa leather.
Seating amenities start heating up with available heated and ventilated front- and second-row seats in either SUV. What the Highlander is missing, though, is available heated third-row seats, which come standard on higher Palisade trims.
Technology
Innovative Tech
You deserve the grandest accommodations, which the Palisade offers in spades. Serving as your gateway to loved ones is a 12.3-inch touchscreen display that pairs with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Better yet, you can hear the sweet melodies of your favorite music or your partner’s soothing voice through the available 12-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System.
While the Highlander keeps up with its available 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio System, its standard 8-inch touchscreen pales in comparison to the Hyundai’s standard format.
Full-Fledged Security
Just as your ambition has its limits, power comes with responsibility. For this reason, the Palisade and the Highlander ensure you can continue raising the bar with their standard safety suites. They even share a few brand-specific versions of these features in common:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Car/Ped/Cyclist Detection and Junction Turning
- Lane Keeping Assist
- Lane Following Assist
- High Beam Assist
- Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Curve Control
Looking for more safety? The Palisade offers a more comprehensive safety suite, making Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Safe Exit Assist, and Highway Driving Assist standard as well.Other than an available Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, the Toyota offers no other comparable features.
