Safety features also received high marks. The Highway Drive Assist system comes standard on the Limited and is optional on the SEL, combining adaptive cruise control and lane-centered steering. The system stands out due to how it works well in traffic and at highway speeds, notes Cars.com.

Other safety features include the blind spot monitoring system, which displays both sides of the vehicle. And a standard occupant alert system notifies drivers to check back seats before exiting, which can help prevent leaving sleeping kids or pets in back. If movement is detected after the driver exits and locks the doors, says Cars.com, the vehicle honks and sends an alert to the driver’s phone.

With plenty of room for passengers and gear, the Palisade is sure to be a favorite among families. A push-button shifter, which might not be everyone’s favorite style, frees up more space for gear.
