Is the 2021 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

Owners rate it 4.6/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback highlights a spacious cabin, abundant features, and a comfortable ride, while also describing the SUV as dependable and well suited to long-term ownership. The expert evaluation also points to a strong ownership proposition thanks to its five-year, unlimited-kilometre roadside assistance plan and five-year, 100,000 km warranty coverage.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that some owners have noted cabin noise at higher speeds and interior materials that may not always feel as rich as the price suggests.

What should I look for when buying a used 2021 Hyundai Palisade?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Ultimate Calligraphy stands out with a different grille pattern, revised exterior lighting, additional lower body trim, unique 20-inch alloy wheels, upgraded interior detailing, and a simulated suede headliner. It also feels notably more premium inside, with quilted and stitched Nappa leather and a suede headliner that make the cabin seem far more expensive than the sticker price suggests.
• Powertrain: Every Palisade uses a 3.8-litre V6 with 291 horsepower, an 8-speed automatic transmission, and standard all-wheel drive. It is tuned to feel firmer and more communicative than some rivals, while still remaining predictable and easy to drive.
• Safety package: Every Palisade includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, multiple lane-keeping systems, and a rear occupant alert system. Most trims add active blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning, Safe Exit Assist, and most trims use a more sophisticated ultrasonic rear occupant alert system. Luxury and Ultimate Calligraphy trims add a Blind View Monitor.
• Infotainment: You can get either an 8-inch or 10.25-inch touchscreen. Both can pair two smartphones to Bluetooth simultaneously, but only the 8-inch system offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The larger screen still needs a wired connection for mirroring.
• Fuel efficiency: Natural Resources Canada predicts 11.1 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving, and the test vehicle matched that figure on the driving loop.

Which 2021 Hyundai Palisade trim should I buy?

The 2021 Hyundai Palisade is offered in 4 trim levels: Essential, Preferred, Luxury, Ultimate Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• Essential: This is the entry point if you want the Palisade’s core space, safety, and standard all-wheel drive without paying for the more luxurious extras.
• Preferred: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds more convenience and technology while staying below the higher-end luxury trims.
• Luxury: Choose this if you want a more upscale feel and the added safety and convenience equipment that moves the Palisade closer to premium territory.
• Ultimate Calligraphy: This is the most luxurious version, with the richest cabin presentation, the most distinctive styling, and the most complete feature set.

Luxury and Ultimate Calligraphy trims add the Blind View Monitor, which is a useful safety upgrade if you want the most advanced visibility tech.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2021 Hyundai Palisade?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 276 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 18.26% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $26,970 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2021 Hyundai Palisade's resale value?

The current average of $26,970 CAD sits slightly below last year's $32,997 CAD.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you as a buyer today but may limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the softer pricing means you should expect more competition from similarly equipped listings. The good news is that a well-regarded SUV with strong demand can still hold attention if it is clean, well maintained, and priced competitively.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.6/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2021 Hyundai Palisade safe?

The 2021 Hyundai Palisade earns top safety ratings from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

It earns a 10/10 safety score from our experts.

Every Palisade includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality, forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, multiple lane-keeping systems, and a rear occupant alert system. Most trims add active blind-spot and rear cross-traffic warning systems, plus Safe Exit Assist. Luxury and Ultimate Calligraphy trims also add a Blind View Monitor, which uses a camera-based blind-spot monitoring system.

Highway Driving Assist is a standout feature, but it is not designed for hands-free driving, so you still need to keep your hands on the wheel.

Should I buy a 2021 Hyundai Palisade or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2021 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2021 if:

• 31.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 18.26% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.6/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• Expert or safety highlight specific to this year from the 2021 model year includes more standard equipment, expanded infotainment capabilities, and a new luxury-themed trim level.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $31,700 CAD, the 2022 costs more than the current year's $26,970 CAD average.
• It adds a quieter cabin and a spacious third row.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest value, the 2021 is the better starting point because pricing has eased and the feature set is still very complete. If you are willing to spend more for a newer model year, the 2022 is the cleaner alternative for buyers who prioritise a more recent vehicle.
