The 2025 Hyundai Palisade offers a combination of practicality, comfort, and performance that makes it an ideal choice for families traveling during winter. Whether navigating snowy roads or heading out on a winter getaway, the Palisade provides thoughtful features and advanced technologies to ensure every journey is safe, comfortable, and convenient. Here are ten reasons why the 2025 Hyundai Palisade could be a smart choice for your family’s winter travel.
- All-Wheel Drive for Better Control on Snowy Roads
The available HTRAC™ All-Wheel Drive system provides added stability and control on slippery winter roads. It actively adjusts power distribution between the front and rear wheels, helping maintain traction even in challenging conditions like snow, ice, or slush. This system ensures that every family trip stays on course, no matter the weather.
- Generous Interior Space for Passengers and Luggage
The Palisade offers ample space for up to eight passengers, with three rows of seats that provide comfort on long drives. Folding the third row opens up 1,297 litres of cargo space—plenty of room for winter gear, luggage, or holiday shopping. For larger loads, folding both rear rows expands the cargo area to 2,447 litres.
- Heated Seats and Steering Wheel for Comfort in the Cold
With standard heated front seats and an available heated steering wheel, the Palisade keeps the driver and front passenger warm during frigid mornings. Higher trims also offer heated second-row seats, ensuring everyone stays comfortable, even in sub-zero temperatures.
- Remote Start with Climate Control
The remote start feature, available through the Hyundai Bluelink® app, allows you to start the Palisade from a distance and set the cabin temperature in advance. This feature ensures that the vehicle is warm and ready to go before you even step outside, making those early morning school runs or weekend trips much more comfortable.
- Comprehensive Safety Technologies for Winter Travel
The 2025 Palisade is equipped with Hyundai SmartSense™—a suite of advanced safety technologies designed to keep you and your family safe. Features like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keeping Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist are especially useful during winter when visibility and road conditions are less than ideal.
- Winter Driving Modes for Confidence in All Conditions
In addition to all-wheel drive, the Palisade offers Snow Mode, which optimizes traction and braking performance for icy surfaces. With a simple turn of the drive mode selector, you can switch to Snow Mode to gain better control on slippery roads, giving you peace of mind on winter adventures.
- Ample Charging Options and Connectivity for Long Drives
Keeping everyone entertained and connected is easy in the Palisade. It features multiple USB ports throughout the cabin, wireless smartphone charging, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. On longer winter road trips, these features ensure your family stays entertained, connected, and comfortable.
- Available Roof Rails for Extra Winter Gear
For families heading to ski resorts or planning snowshoeing adventures, the Palisade offers available roof rails that make it easy to attach ski racks or roof boxes. This extra cargo space allows you to bring along bulky winter equipment without sacrificing interior comfort.
- Fuel Efficiency That Saves You Money
Despite its size, the 2025 Palisade offers competitive fuel efficiency, with a combined rating of approximately 11.3 L/100 km (AWD version). This ensures that you can take longer trips without worrying about excessive fuel costs, even during winter when fuel consumption typically increases.
- Peace of Mind with Hyundai’s Warranty and Roadside Assistance
The Palisade comes with Hyundai’s 5-year/100,000 km warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance. In the event of an unexpected situation during your winter travels—like a flat tire or dead battery—Hyundai’s roadside assistance ensures that help is just a phone call away, providing additional peace of mind on every trip.
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade offers a compelling mix of comfort, safety, and practicality for winter family travel. With features like all-wheel drive, advanced safety technologies, and a spacious interior, it’s well-equipped to handle the challenges of Canadian winters. Whether you’re running errands around town or heading to the mountains for a winter vacation, the Palisade provides the versatility and reliability your family needs for a stress-free journey.
