- How many Hyundai Palisade and Nissan Pathfinder lease offers are available?
- LeaseGuru is tracking 17 live Hyundai Palisade listings and 11 live Nissan Pathfinder listings. Counts change as brokers refresh inventory, so treat any advertised payment as a starting point.
- Are the Palisade and Pathfinder the same class of vehicle?
- Yes — both are classified as a SUV (Standard Sport Utility Vehicle 2WD), which is why they are compared here. Cargo room, seating, and drivetrain still differ by trim, so confirm the specific configuration behind any advertised payment.
- Which has the lower due at signing, the Palisade or the Pathfinder?
- The lowest published drive-off we see is $3,000 on the Hyundai Palisade and $0 on the Nissan Pathfinder. A lower monthly payment paired with a higher drive-off is often the more expensive lease overall, so compare effective monthly cost rather than the payment alone.
