All-new Palisade, Hyundai's flagship full-size SUV, has been officially launched in South Korea, offering a 2.5T petrol engine and an all-new 2.5T hybrid option. Buyers can choose between 7-seater or 9-seater to suit their needs.
Let’s dive into the details of this exciting new SUV.
Exterior: Bold and Angular
The redesigned Palisade boasts a boxy, commanding silhouette with straight lines that emphasize its strong and confident stance.
Up front, the grille features a grid-like pattern framed by vertically stacked LED daytime running lights and headlamp clusters. The central grille, with its horizontal rectangular elements, adds to the bold and distinctive look.
At the rear, the taillights mirror the design of the headlights, with a clean and striking rectangular lattice pattern. Chrome accents are generously applied across the body, while silver multi-spoke wheels add a touch of elegance.
Interior: Spacious and Versatile
Inside, the new Palisade exudes luxury with a center console wrapped in rich brown leather.
The SUV offers two seating configurations:
A 7-seater in a 2-2-3 layout powered by the 2.5T hybrid
A 9-seater in a 3-3-3 layout powered by the 2.5T petrol engine
The 9-seater layout maximizes space by removing the traditional center console to accommodate three seats in the front row.
The Palisade is now 65 mm longer and 15 mm taller than its predecessor, with an extended wheelbase that enhances interior space. The third-row seats can slide forward and backward, while larger rear-quarter windows improve visibility for passengers in the back.
To ensure a quiet and comfortable ride, the first and second rows feature noise-reducing glass, and the electronically controlled suspension enhances cabin isolation and ride quality.
Advanced Features and Technology
Hyundai has equipped the new Palisade with cutting-edge technology to meet modern needs, including:
Over-the-air (OTA) updates for system upgrades
A fingerprint authentication system for added security
A BOSE 14-speaker premium audio system for an immersive listening experience
