HORSEPOWER
MAXIMUM TOWING CAPACITY
The Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota 4Runner are extended vessels, which means they equip hearty engines to get them moving and keep them moving. Having larger engines also means they come equipped with greater capabilities; so, you can expect mighty pulling power as well as optimal handling with either SUV.
The Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota 4Runner are similar when it comes to power and performance. For instance, both models offer a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. They’re also both packed with a variety of features to optimize on- and off-road driving.
For example, the Palisade comes standard with Drive Mode Select, and it offers an available Tow Mode on all-wheel drive models. Likewise, you can have hill assistance on the 4Runner as well as specialized off-road driving modes; however, its similar Multi-Terrain Select feature is only available.
You’ll experience greater power with the Palisade, too. While both vehicles only offer one engine, the powertrain under the hood of the Hyundai is stronger. Compare their engine specs below:

| Toyota 4Runner | 4.0L V6 | 270 HP | 278 lb-ft |
Plus, the Palisade is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with SHIFTRONIC® that can provide much smoother gear transitions than the 5-speed Electronically Controlled automatic Transmission on the 4Runner.
With a full-size SUV, you’re able to take a lot with you on the road—this includes both cargo and company. The Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota 4Runner both offer plenty of space in their voluminous cabins. However, you’ll be able to bring along more guests in the Palisade.
The Hyundai can fit up to eight passengers, while the Toyota limits you to seven. Plus, since the third row is not standard on the 4Runner, in most trims you’ll only be able to support up to five passengers as standard. However, the Palisade allows you to travel with at least seven passengers at all times.
With more standard seating in the Palisade, you gain more in-cabin flexibility!
In terms of cargo capacity, the 4Runner does offer several extra inches of space with a maximum cargo capacity of 89.7 cubic feet. However, the Palisade isn’t far behind with 86.4 cubic feet behind the first row.
If you plan to use your Palisade as a family vehicle, you’ll enjoy the added space behind the third row. The Hyundai equips 18 cubic feet of trunk space, while the Toyota falls short with half that amount at nine cubic feet. So, when your crew expands, you’ll have plenty of space to accommodate their essentials.
The Hyundai Palisade and the Toyota 4Runner are versatile vessels. On one hand, they can function as your security sidekick, as both models equip standard safety suites. On the other hand, they can function as your personal oasis since both models include modern technologies designed to help you kick back and enjoy your me time.
The 4Runner comes with four driver-assistance features as part of its Toyota Safety Sense™ P suite. On the other hand, the Palisade showcases its dedication to your safety by offering 10 features in Hyundai SmartSense, some of which include:
No matter who’s behind the wheel, they’ll feel comfortable and at peace knowing they have a digital sidekick along for the ride.
The 2023 Palisade also has much more to offer when it comes to infotainment. While the 4Runner has an 8-inch premium audio system with Android Auto™, Apple CarPlay®, and Bluetooth®, the Palisade offers:
Your passengers can also enjoy standard Rear Seat Quiet Mode or you can quickly relay information to your passengers without raising your voice with the available Driver Talk in-car intercom in the Hyundai. Both features are unavailable on the 4Runner.
The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is a standout when compared to the Toyota 4Runner. It comes with plenty of space, advanced features, and a strong powertrain. At McDonald Hyundai, we’re happy to assist Littleton, Parker, and Castle Rock, shoppers find their ideal SUVs.
