2027 Hyundai Palisade Officially Launched: All-New High Roof, Black Ink, and XRT Trims Detailed

Hyundai Motor Company has officially launched the 2027 Hyundai Palisade in South Korea, introducing the nation's first OEM SUV-based High Roof model alongside two dedicated lifestyle trims: the stealthy Black Ink and the outdoor-focused XRT.

With an expanded lineup across both gasoline and hybrid powertrains, substantial standard safety enhancements, and an upgraded interior experience, the flagship three-row SUV strengthens its standing in the large SUV segment.

All-New High Roof Model: Premium Limousine Luxury in an SUV

The centerpiece of the 2027 update is the Palisade High Roof, engineered to deliver executive cabin space while maintaining daily urban drivability.

• Underground Parking Friendly: The roof is raised by 240 mm, bringing the total vehicle height to 2,005 mm. This specific dimension allows the vehicle to clear standard 2.1-meter underground parking structures without sacrificing interior headroom.

• Exclusive Exterior and Chassis: Standard equipment includes High Roof-specific exterior styling, black DLO moldings, 21-inch alloy wheels with Pirelli tires, and an electronically controlled Preview Suspension system.

• Lounge-Like Interior: Features High Roof ambient lighting, a Starry Sky headliner, 2-way pop-up LED reading lights, and a 21.4-inch rear smart entertainment display.

• Optional VIP Package 2: Equips the second row with a dual-opening center console featuring dual wireless smartphone charging, UV-C sterilization, a built-in air purifier, heating/cooling cup holders, and VIP floor mats.
