Hyundai Motor unveiled a few days ago its flagship large SUV, The All-New Palisade, and now thanks to our colleagues at Palisade People we can have a closer look into the 7-seater model with captain chairs in brown color.
A Bold Presence with Refined Details
The all-new Palisade boasts a stronger, more luxurious design, highlighted by daring proportions and a confident stance.
- Front Design: The vertical DRL (Daytime Running Lights) and the bold radiator grille create a striking first impression. The futuristic center-positioned lamps perfectly balance the high hood, evoking the feel of a grand sculpture.
- Side Profile: With a shorter front overhang and extended wheelbase and rear overhang, the proportions are sturdier than before. Dynamic 21-inch wheels add elegance and modernity, harmonizing with the clean side design.
- Rear Design: The rear lamps echo the vertical design of the front lamps, emphasizing the SUV’s wide stance while maintaining visual consistency.
The seamless horizontal character line from the hood to the belt-line adds sophistication, while the integrated roof rack and bold D-pillar enhance the vehicle’s daring aesthetic.
Palisade Powertrain & Performance Upgrades
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is set to update its powertrain too. With the mentioned 2.5-liter Hybrid powertrain, with a total output of 335 hp, and a 2.5 Turbo gasoline engine set to replace the current 3.8-liter engine, Hyundai also plans to launch a 3.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with 280 hp.
