The Palisade's design is modern and sophisticated, and when just looking at photos, its proportions and stance might make you feel like it's a larger-than-life SUV.

The interior of the 2022 Palisade is where you're going to find a ton of wow factor thanks to its use of premium materials, attention to detail, and the best of this generation's technology.
Regardless of where you're sitting, the two large digital screens that are housed in a seamless panel on the dashboard are sure to catch your eye. There's a 12.3-inch full digital instrument cluster for the driver, and a 10.2-inch touchscreen for all of your infotainment needs, which includes standard capability for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. And for those with a full house, an available Driver Talk in-car intercom lets you broadcast your voice to the 2nd- and 3rd-row passengers via the audio system.
The 2022 Palisade can be configured with a total of seven or eight seats, depending on your needs. The seven-seat variant offers captain's chairs in the second row for more personal space, while the eight-passenger version makes ample room for three people in each of its rear rows. The ability to remotely fold the second- and third-row seats from the cargo area is also available on select models.
