    • 2020 Hyundai Palisade  RealSafeCars87Safety Rating

    #25 of 2020 SUVs

    #39 of all 2020 vehicles


    The Palisade, introduced by Hyundai in 2020, is a three-row midsize SUV with seating up to 8. Having better than average EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and pollution. The Palisade has technology that is now expected: Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Hyundai Palisade has some real zest, surpassing typical horsepower for its class. With optional all-wheel drive (AWD), it can easily bypass mud and snow. Hyundai offers a 5-year, 60,000-mile basic warranty, and a 10-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2020 Hyundai Palisade is above average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2020 Hyundai Palisade has a score of 87, implying a 0.033% chance of driver death (2.9% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2020 Hyundai Palisade has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0328% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 3.7452%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0328% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 3.7452% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is 30% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is 19% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Active safety features can substantially reduce the risks of harm to vehicle occupants by preventing severe accidents. An active safety system that is standard on the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection (FDA-PED). Some safety features are optional on the 2020 Hyundai Palisade--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Lane Departure Warning System and Blind-Spot View Monitoring.

    Another advanced safety feature --- while not cutting edge --- can still improve vehicle safety. Optional side mirror turn signals can help when you don't see a vehicle in your blind spot, by alerting them to your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other driver to avoid an accident with you.

    But it is about as safe as many comparable models.
