Hyundai Palisade vs. Toyota 4Runner

Strength and Stealth 

The Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota 4Runner are similar when it comes to power and performance. For instance, both models offer a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. They’re also both packed with a variety of features to optimize on- and off-road driving. 

For example, the Palisade comes standard with Drive Mode Select, Hillstart Assist Control, and it offers available Snow Mode and AWD Lock on all-wheel drive models. Likewise, you can have hill assistance on the 4Runner as well as specialized off-road driving modes.  

Power and Control

You’ll experience greater power with the Palisade, though. While both vehicles only offer one engine, the powertrain under the hood of the Hyundai is stronger. Compare their engine specs below: 

Plus, the Palisade is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® that can provide much smoother gear transitions than the 5-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission on the 4Runner.    

Suited for Your Extended Crew 

The Hyundai can fit up to eight passengers, while the Toyota limits you to seven. Plus, since the third row is not standard on the 4Runner, in most trims you’ll only be able to support up to five passengers as standard. However, the Palisade allows you to travel with at least seven passengers. 

With more standard seating in the Palisade, you gain more in-cabin flexibility! 

Cargo Flexibility

In terms of cargo capacity, the 4Runner does offer several extra inches of space with a maximum cargo capacity of 89.7 cubic feet. However, the Palisade isn’t far behind with 86.4 cubic feet behind the first row.

If you plan to use your Palisade as a family vehicle, you’ll enjoy the added space behind the third row. The Hyundai equips 18 cubic feet of trunk space, while the Toyota falls short with nine cubic feet. So, when your crew expands, you’ll have plenty of space to accommodate their essentials. 

Enjoy Your Peace of Mind

The 4Runner comes with four driver-assistance features as part of its Toyota Safety Sense™ P suite. On the other hand, the Palisade showcases its dedication to your safety by offering 10 features, some of which include: 

• Lane Following Assist 
• Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist 
• Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go  

No matter who’s behind the wheel, they’ll feel comfortable and at peace knowing they have a digital sidekick along for the ride.  

Modern Technology

The 2022 Palisade also has much more to offer when it comes to infotainment. While the 4Runner has an available 8-inch premium audio system with Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Dynamic Navigation, the Palisade offers:

• An available 10.25-inch color touchscreen with Navigation and Traffic Flow 
• Wireless device charging 
• Multiple device connection  

Your passengers can also enjoy Rear Seat Quiet Mode or you can quickly get information to your passengers without raising your voice with the available Driver Talk in-car intercom in the Hyundai.
