The Palisade boasts all the latest technology to make life on Vermont roads easier. And among our favorite Palisade features? HTRAC, theintelligent Hyundai AWD system. This system is built for bad weather, which we get our fair share of. If you're a Burlington Hyundai fan, you'll love the confidence that's inspired by an AWD Palisade, especially as you feel all four tires engage with the road on those icy, snowy winter commutes.
On the safety front, the Hyundai SmartSense suite is where some of the brand's most high-tech driver-assist features are brought together to form a single integrated system of preventive safety technology.
