2020 Hyundai Palisade vs. 2020 Ford Explorer in San Antonio, TX
The Hyundai Palisade is one of the newest midsize SUVs to hit the market while the Ford Explorer can trace its roots back to the early days of SUVs, but the automotive industry constantly shows us that the oldest nameplate may not always be the best choice.

Performance Comparison
The 2020 Hyundai Palisade comes standard with a peppy V6 engine that makes 291 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive while the 2020 Ford Explorer is not far ahead with a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that gets 300 horsepower with a 10-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. Both SUVs make great fuel efficiency for their size and class.
Interior Features and Value Comparison
Though the Explorer was redesigned for the 2020 model year, it still can’t keep up with the offerings and value of the 2020 Hyundai Palisade. The Palisade offers more features than the Explorer with a lower price tag, especially in upper trim levels. Though both cars come standard with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto, and touchscreens with options for even more premium materials and amenities, you’ll pay far less to drive the Palisade than the Explorer. You’ll also find that the Palisade makes use of high-quality materials in every trim whereas the Explorer leans heavily on hard plastics and inexpensive materials in most trims.
Safety Features Comparison
The 2020 Hyundai Palisade comes standard with forward collision warning, forward automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, a rear occupant alert, lane keep assist, lane centering assist, driver attention monitoring, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, a rearview camera, and rear parking sensors.
