2027 Hyundai Palisade Trim Level Breakdown

Six Trims, One Family SUV Built for Central Indiana

The Palisade is Hyundai’s biggest three-row SUV, and the 2027 lineup gives Greenwood and Indianapolis families more ways to build one that fits. Six trims run from a value-minded SE up to a loaded Calligraphy, all sharing the same 287-horsepower V6 under the hood. Seats, wheels, and tech are what change as you move up the lineup. Those changes can make a long drive on I-65 or I-69 feel a lot shorter.

• The 2027 Palisade lineup starts at $39,735 for the SE and tops out at $54,860 for the Calligraphy.
• Every trim shares the same 287-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 and 8-speed automatic transmission.
• The XRT PRO is the only trim built with HTRAC all-wheel drive as standard equipment.

SE and SEL Cover the Basics Without Cutting Corners

SE opens the 2027 Hyundai Palisade trim level breakdown at $39,735. Eight-passenger seats, 18-inch wheels, and a 12.3-inch screen with built-in maps all come standard. Cloth seats keep things simple, and Hyundai still adds Highway Driving Assist and a rear seat alert, so nobody leaves a bag behind.

Moving up to the SEL at $42,240 swaps the back seat for two captain’s chairs, though an eight-seat bench is still available if you need the extra spot. Heated front seats, a hands-free liftgate, and a digital gauge cluster round out the upgrade. The SEL keeps the same 18-inch wheels as the SE.

SEL Premium and Limited Step Up the Extras

SEL Premium moves the Palisade into nicer territory. Heated and cooled front and back seats become standard here, along with a sunroof and a memory seat for the driver. A Bose sound system handles the audio. At $45,600, it’s a strong pick for buyers who want captain’s chairs without paying for leather.

Leather finally shows up at $50,070 with the Limited trim, alongside 20-inch wheels and a heated, power third row. That matters for families who tow a boat to a lake east of Indianapolis, or haul gear for a Brown County camping trip. Every 2027 Palisade trim, Limited included, can tow up to 5,000 pounds with the right gear.

XRT PRO and Calligraphy Sit at Opposite Ends of the Lineup

XRT PRO stands apart from the rest of the lineup. It comes only with HTRAC all-wheel drive and rides on all-terrain tires, with tow hooks and a factory hitch built in for buyers who leave the paved road more than most. Priced at $50,170, it sits right between SEL Premium and Limited, though it does a very different job.

Calligraphy tops the range at $54,860 with soft Nappa leather, a head-up display, a digital mirror, and a built-in dash cam. It’s the trim for drivers who want every available feature and still want a gas-powered V6 under the hood.

Towing, Hauling, and Central Indiana Road Trips

No matter the trim you pick, the Palisade fits a busy central Indiana schedule. Think school runs across Greenwood and Franklin, weekend trips up I-465 to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and long hauls down US-31 toward Terre Haute. Most trims offer HTRAC all-wheel drive, and it’s standard on XRT PRO. That helps a lot when winter turns the roads near Center Grove slick.
