The HTRAC all-wheel drive system offers up a Sport mode that Hyundai says sends more power to the rear wheels for what they call a more dynamic feel. It also has a snow mode that adjusts torque distribution left and right as well as front and rear, along with controlling engine torque and shift patterns to make the most of available traction. It also offers a locking centre differential. The Palisade allows you to choose the right mode for the type of terrain you’re on, whether sand, mud, or snow. Of course, the third driving mode isn’t applicable, but you never know. Four selectable driving modes (Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart) help optimize performance in all driving conditions.

The Palisade offers Hyundai's HTRAC® All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) system. The HTRAC AWD system was developed as a multi-mode system, providing an electronic, variable-torque-split clutch with active torque control between the front and rear axles. The driver-selectable HTRAC Normal, Sport and Smart modes help provide confident control in all weather conditions. The Sport setting gives a more agile feel by sending more available torque to the rear wheels, for a sporty dynamic feel when desired. This system has a wider range of torque distribution variability than many competitive systems and has been tuned to conditions such as straight-line acceleration, medium- or high-speed cornering, and hill starts.

Palisade also offers a newly-developed Snow Mode on its advanced HTRAC® AWD system, with special traction tuning for snow, optimizing available traction and driver control in adverse conditions. The Drive Mode System's Snow Mode adjusts front and rear torque distribution, left and right wheel slip control, engine torque and shift patterns according to available traction levels. In addition, Palisade's AWD HTRAC system includes an AWD locking-differential function for challenging traction situations.
