A three-row SUV built for big families and weekend trips, leased on terms you can actually read. Browse Palisade inventory across Southern California with every number on the table.
The Palisade is the most space in the Hyundai lineup, a three-row SUV built for people who actually fill all three rows: car seats and a stroller, teammates after practice, in-laws on the weekend, and a trunk packed with gear. It seats seven or eight depending on the second row, captain's chairs with a walk-through aisle or a bench with one more belt, and the cabin reads a class above the badge, which is why move-up shoppers cross-shop it against luxury three-rows.
If you rarely use the third row, a two-row SUV like the Santa Fe or Tucson will cost less every month and burn less fuel, so it is worth being honest with yourself about how often that back row is up. The Palisade is a gas SUV, so there is no EV credit on it, and a large three-row simply leases for more than a compact. If the lowest possible payment matters more than the space, start smaller.
Before you commit, four numbers are written down and locked for the exact trim and seating you pick: the all-in out-the-door price, the money factor, which is the bank's buy rate with no markup of ours on top, the residual the bank sets for that build, and every fee itemized line by line including our refundable deposit. Our pay is a fixed dealer referral fee shown on its own named line, the same figure on a base SE and a top Calligraphy, so a pricier trim or a higher rate puts nothing extra in our pocket. The lease you read is the lease you sign.
What still moves is set by the bank, not by us. Your credit tier shifts the payment, higher trims like Limited and Calligraphy and the AWD option cost more than the base SE, and any month's dealer lease cash is folded into the quoted payment rather than promised as a flat amount, because the bank can change it or set it to zero. We show the figure for the build and terms you ask about; we do not invent a number that is not live.
Leasing asks for less cash up front and a fixed term, which suits a growing family that wants a fresh three-row every few years while the kids are small. The honest trade-off is real: a lease builds no equity, it caps your miles, and a family hauler picks up scuffs, stains, and mileage faster than a commuter car, so excess-wear and over-mileage charges can land at return. You can sidestep that by buying it out at the end for the residual, a price that is set and shown today.
Financing or buying is the other first-class option, and for a Palisade it often makes sense, because this is the kind of SUV families keep a long time. If you hold it past the lease years or run high annual miles, owning frequently costs less per mile than leasing one after another, though financing a buyout adds interest and your credit tier moves the payment either way. We quote both honestly, an SSN is required for either, and the bank makes the final call.
Both seat seven or eight, but the Palisade is the real three-row SUV, with room for adults in the back and cargo behind them. The Santa Fe's available third row is smaller and best for kids or short hops. The Palisade is the larger, more comfortable family hauler, and it leases for more.
Choose the Palisade when the third row carries adults regularly or you road-trip a full house. If the back row is for occasional use, a Santa Fe saves money. We put the two side by side, so the monthly reflects the space you actually use.
Yes. An SSN is required to lease or finance a Palisade, with no no-SSN or ITIN path. A thin or new US credit history is fine, and we match you to lenders that work with first-time borrowers. The bank always makes the final decision, and approval is never guaranteed.
Often yes. We run a soft credit check first to read your tier without touching your FICO, then match you to the bank with the best Palisade program for your profile. A co-signer can strengthen the terms if your file is thin. The bank decides, so we never promise an approval rate.
It is the out-the-door number, with the money factor, the residual, and every fee itemized line by line, including our refundable deposit, all written down before you sign. There is no dealer markup added on top of the bank's rate. The price you read is the price you pay.
It depends on how long you keep cars and how far you drive. Leasing means less cash up front and a new three-row every few years, but no equity and mileage and wear limits. Financing costs more monthly but you own it with no mileage cap, which often wins on an SUV families keep a long time. We quote both, and the bank decides either way.
The Hunter Score is a single 0 to 100 number for how strong a deal is, based mostly on the one-percent rule, the monthly payment divided by the MSRP, where lower is better. It is capped at 98, because no deal is a perfect 100, and it is hidden when the data looks implausible. It lets you see how a Palisade deal compares to the market before you ever talk to a dealer.
As a large three-row it leases for more than a compact and burns more fuel, and higher trims like Limited and Calligraphy plus AWD raise the payment. A lease builds no equity, caps your miles, and can bill you for excess wear and over-mileage at return, which adds up fast with kids and a dog. Financing a buyout adds interest, your credit tier moves the payment, an SSN is required, and the bank's decision is never guaranteed.
