Heck, my colleague and friend Andrew Collins even [said]() its interior styling is "[pretty much perfect]()." And I think the exterior deserves praise, too. While doomscrolling on Instagram earlier today, I came across a [Leasehackr]() deal alert that I thought was good enough to blog about. According to the post, folks can [lease]() a new Palisade in its two entry-level trims (SE and SEL) for as little as $249 per month in Florida and California. Per the breakdown, customers can negotiate the price themselves to get at least 8% off MSRP (or better), or use the pre-negotiated Leasehackr deals to get those rates. The $249 deal would take $4,135 up front to cover estimated taxes and fees, while the $262 deal would require $1,916. These rates are reportedly with $0 toward the down payment. ![Hyundai Palisade Hybrid]() **Hyundai** Going up to the SEL and SEL Hybrid in California would reportedly cost $277 per month with $3,079 up front, and $369 per month with $3,376 up front in Illinois. The disclaimer states the deal runs through November 2, is available only through Hyundai Motor Finance, and is for buyers with Tier 1 credit. The numbers are based on an 81% residual value on a 24-month lease with 7,500 miles per year. Upping it to 10,000 miles per year would reportedly add about $19 per month. This isn't a sponsored post, and we don't receive anything for writing about it; it's simply a noteworthy deal for those of you looking for a new family hauler. Just keep in mind that it has to be a 2026 model-year Palisade—not a 2027. Happy shopping. *Got a tip?
