Which should you buy?

This is the comparison most Palisade shoppers actually need, and the hybrid wins it on both counts people care about. It makes 42 more horsepower than the 3.5L V6 and returns 34 mpg combined against 21, a 13 mpg gap. The hybrid asks $5,125 more to start. At roughly 15,000 miles a year that fuel difference closes the gap quickly, which is unusual: normally a hybrid trades performance for economy, and here you get both.

What matters for Lake County drivers?

If you drive fewer than about 8,000 miles a year, the gas V6 saves you money up front and you will not recover the difference quickly. Above that, the 13-mpg gap starts working in the hybrid’s favor, and you get 42 more horsepower along the way.

Both are available to drive at Webb Hyundai Merrillville, so compare them back to back rather than on paper.
