Hyundai is already working on the mid-cycle facelift for the Palisade SUV. Despite was launched 2 years ago, Hyundai’s New Model Launch Schedule showed that the Palisade facelift will arrive in 2022. According to our industry sources, the Palisade facelift had already 3D plastic models, but Hyundai still did not built any prototype.

The Palisade (codenamed as OL) is already available with two V6 gasoline engines, 3.5 and 3.8 MPi with 277 and 295 hp. It is also available with a diesel engine, the 2.2 R-Engine with 200 ps. When Hyundai launched the Palisade couldn’t be so sure that it will turn in a total success.
As there any spy pictures of the Palisade facelift, we cannot say to much about what changes will have, if will have the same treatment as Santa Fe or Grandeur or instead that will receive a slight facelift. Hyundai could take advantage of this facelift and include a Hybrid/Plug-in Hybrid variant like they did with the Santa Fe.
It is pretty difficult to imagine the design direction of the Palisade facelift will drink of, but recently Hyundai surprised us with big changes on their facelifted models. We will wait for the first spy pictures and check what changes we can expect.
Of course, the Palisade facelift should receive latest safety pack, as well as new IT system and latest technologies we already have seen in models like GV80 or Grandeur. The powertrain could be enriched by the addition of the 2.5 Turbo, that delivering almost the same power as of the 3.8 N/A and performs better fuel economy and more punch.
Hyundai recently launched the Palisade Calligraphy trim in South Korea or United States with several updates and a higher quality interior.
