2021 GMC Yukon vs 2021 Hyundai Palisade Chardon OH

Performance

If your family is looking for a vehicle that can handle the school pick-up line with panache and can power through long road trips, both the Yukon and the Palisade are up for the challenge. However, only one full-size SUV can be crowned the most powerful. The 2025 Palisade is equipped with a 3.8-liter engine that can produce 262 lb-ft of torque and 291 horsepower. The powerful GMC Yukon, on the other hand, has two V8 engine choices: a 5.3-liter and a 6.2-liter configuration. While both of the Yukon’s engines deliver significantly more power than the Palisade, the 6.2-liter engine is capable of producing 460 lb-ft of torque and can reach 420 horsepower. The Yukon’s superior power means it can tow as much as 3,400 pounds more than the Palisade.

Comfort

Your family’s SUV is your home on the road, which is why it is important that your vehicle offers comfortable seating and ample storage space. The Palisade has enough room to fit as much as 86.4 cubic feet of cargo with the rear seats folded. The Yukon, which is offered in a standard and a roomy XL configuration, can store up to 121.7 cubic feet of luggage, equipment, and groceries. Additionally, though the 2025 Palisade is certainly one of the most sophisticated options available in the economical Hyundai lineup, it lacks the refined sophistication of the GMC Yukon. The 2025 Yukon is available in GMC’s signature Denali trim, which incorporates premium features such as chrome details, tri-zone climate controls, leather upholstery, and active noise cancellation.

Your family deserves more than a minivan, which is why the 2025 GMC Yukon comes out on top against the Hyundai Palisade when it comes to performance and comfort. Test-drive it for yourself when you stop by Junction Buick GMC in Chardon.
