If you drive your SUV every day, you'll want one with pleasant driving dynamics. Despite its size, the new Nissan Pathfinder maintains its composure on twisty roads. It also offers all the things you expect from a three-row SUV, including spacious seating, a roomy cargo hold, and a plethora of standard tech features. The new Hyundai Palisade is also a midsize, three-row SUV, but it falls short of the Pathfinder in a few key areas. Ciocca Nissan of Quakertown offers the following comparisons to explain the differences.
Engine Options
The new Nissan Pathfinder's 284-horsepower V6 engine gives it plenty of zip for getting around Allentown. If you need a little more punch for passing or merging onto freeways, Pathfinder Rock Creek models have a more muscular version of that same engine, which puts out 295 horsepower. The Hyundai Palisade has only one engine option – a 287-horsepower V6.
Towing Capacity
If you like taking your crew to Tohickon Family Campground near Bethlehem, PA, you'll need a vehicle with the power to pull a camper. The new Nissan Pathfinder can tow up to 6,000 pounds with the right configuration. The Hyundai Palisade maxes out at 5,000 pounds of towing capacity.
Handling
The new Nissan Pathfinder has a taut suspension and responsive steering that minimizes side-to-side body motions around turns. This helps it handle corners in Emmaus like a smaller vehicle. The Hyundai Palisade has a heavier, wider body than the Pathfinder, and limited steering feedback for less driving enjoyment.
Safety
Keeping you and your family safe on the roads of Lansdale is the number one priority of the new Nissan Pathfinder. It offers a wide array of standard and available driver assistance features to help you avoid potential hazards. Available intelligent blind-spot intervention automatically steers the Pathfinder back into its lane if you try to change lanes while a vehicle is in its blind spot. Blind-spot intervention is not available in the Hyundai Palisade.
