Description

In recent years, mainstream SUVs with off-road-focused trims have become more and more common. The Honda Pilot TrailSport and Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro are two of the newest offerings in this niche, catering to those who need three rows of space but enjoy the occasional soft-roading adventure. But which one is actually better when the pavement ends? In this video, Edmunds’ Brian Wong puts them to the test to find out.

I owned a Honda Pilot for four years and now own a Hyundai Palisade. Honestly, I'm much more satisfied with the Hyundai Palisade as a family car.

Strongly considered a Pilot, ended up getting a Palisade Couldn't be happier 😃

Saw another video who used Mud mode for the Palisade, and it worked better than Sand mode used in this test.

Please do a review on the 2026 Santa Fe XRT! Would love to see how it pans out with the new transmission compared to its predecessors (2024 - 2025).
