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.

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

This Hyundai Palisade XRT makes me excited for recently spotted Ioniq 9 XRT , camouflaged prototype 🤩🤟🤟 And really hope that Hyundai brings to our European market simply awesome pickup Hyundai Santa Cruz XRT (would love it in full electric or at least plug-in hybrid version ⚡⚡🤟🤟💪💪 And for Honda they need to bring that rugged design to our bland looking CH-R we get here in EU. Great video keep it up 🤟
