Muscular wheel arches, long wheelbase, Kona- and Santa Fe-influenced styling up front, and lots of chrome for the Cascading Grille. This is the three-row crossover utility vehicle from Hyundai, which will be imported in the United States from South Korea for the 2020 model year.
As the brother of the 2020 Kia Telluride, we were expecting the Palisade to look this unconventional. We’re still not sure about the underwhelming name, but as a styling exercise, the eight-seat crossover from Hyundai is the type of vehicle that you either love or hate.
Leaked onto the Internet by autoreview.ru, the first photograph of the Palisade also reveals larger-than-life wheels. The rear doors are long enough to facilitate entry into the third row of seats, and even though it doesn’t look like it, the Hyundai comes with front-wheel drive as standard.
All-wheel drive is also available, and based on what Kia offers on the Telluride, a V6 is in the pipeline as well. The spiritual successor to the Veracruz (a.k.a. ix55) is the largest utility vehicle in the Hyundai lineup, positioned right above the Santa Fe XL.
Sales of the Palisade will start in the summer of 2019 for the U.S. market, and Hyundai is certain to price the newcomer at a similar point to the Telluride. The closest competitor is the Pilot from Honda, which starts at $31,450 for the LX with front-wheel drive and the 280-horsepower V6.
The Santa Fe, on the other hand, is no longer available with the 3.3-liter V6 from the Lambda II engine family. For the fourth generation of the breed, Hyundai chose four cylinders for both the gasoline and turbo diesel options. In South Korea and Europe, the 200-horsepower turbo diesel should be the engine of choice for the Palisade.
Being a family-oriented model, the Palisade should come with tons of convenience features, including USB ports, parking assist, an automatic tailgate, and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Having said these, look forward to finding out all there is to know about the newcomer on November 28th.
