2020 Hyundai Palisade SEL AWD

The 2020 Palisade SEL is a mid-size three-row SUV from Hyundai, positioned above the SE trim and below the Limited in the lineup. It is powered by a 3.8-liter GDI V6 engine delivering about 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. The SEL comes standard with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is offered in both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. Fuel economy is approximately 19 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway for the FWD version; the AWD version lowers highway efficiency slightly.Internally, the SEL has seating for up to eight people, thanks to a second-row bench; captain's chairs are optional in the second row. Legroom is generous in the first and second rows (~ 44.1 inches up front, ~ 42.4 in the second), though the third row is more cramped, with about 31.4 inches of legroom. Cargo capacity is large: about 18 cubic feet behind the third row, around 45-46 cu ft with the third row folded, and up to about 86.4 cu ft with both rear rows folded flat. Ground clearance is roughly 7.9 inches, giving it decent clearance for rough roads or mild off-pavement travel. The SEL includes upgraded safety and driver assist features over the base trim: blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and side mirrors with turn-signal indicators are part of SEL's package. Other comfort and convenience upgrades it offers include heated front seats, driver's seat power lumbar support, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual automatic climate control for front and rear, and roof rails. The standard infotainment screen in the SEL is 8 inches, which includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The option to upgrade to a larger 10.25-inch display with navigation is available. Towing capability is up to about 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, making it capable of pulling trailers, boats, or similar loads. The SEL's exterior design includes features like silver roof rails, chrome door handles with welcome lights, alloy wheels, and available LED lighting (depending on package). Its dimensions are substantial: an overall length of about 196.1 inches, a wheelbase of 114.2 inches, and a curb weight over 4,200 pounds depending on configuration. Warranty coverage is generous: the basic warranty is about 5 years/60,000 miles, the powertrain is longer (10 years/100,000 miles), and corrosion protection is also strong.
