Hyundai Palisade's 2024 model continues its sleek and modern design language. Its spacious interior is laden with high-quality materials and a sophisticated infotainment system.

Safety Features Comparison

Safety is a priority for the Explorer, with top marks from IIHS and features like a 360-degree camera and roll stability control. However, it does fall short in some areas, like reverse braking assist.

The Palisade, awarded a Top Safety Pick+ by IIHS, is packed with advanced safety features. It stands out as a safe choice in its category, rivalling even luxury SUVs.

Ford is expected to update the Explorer's tech to match the F-150, focusing on a larger and more integrated infotainment screen, though details are still under wraps.

Palisade's tech is more consistent, with features like a 12-speaker Harman Kardon system and an in-car intercom, emphasizing both entertainment and functionality.
