The New Hyundai Palisade Stands Out In Site visitors

Depart it to the Koreans to overtake a automotive’s styling from one technology to the following. The brand new Palisade is producing loads of buzz, because of a design overhaul after six years available on the market. Hyundai dropped the primary pictures of its largest fuel SUV final week, and automotive paparazzi have already noticed prototypes roaming the streets with none camouflage in any way. Past the automotive’s basic look, we’re noticing some attention-grabbing particulars.

For instance, the U-shaped third brake gentle is almost as vast because the roof spoiler, with the rear wiper tucked away beneath in Vary Rover model. Built-in into the tailgate glass is a rearview digital camera positioned above the Hyundai brand, the place you’d usually discover the rear wiper. Nevertheless, there is a second digital camera above the license plate. Hyundai has but to reveal particulars concerning the 2026 Palisade, however we predict the higher digital camera is for security/help programs, whereas the decrease one is the same old rearview digital camera.

The vertical taillights with chunky LED segments kind an “L” form, additionally discovered on the entrance for the massive daytime working lights and switch indicators. The high and low beams are stacked rectangular lights flanking the grille with its built-in illuminated bar. The latter is barely half engaged on this prototype except it has one thing to do with the digital camera’s shutter pace, which might clarify why the daytime working lights are flickering.

Under is a separate video exhibiting a distinct 2026 Palisade in an underground parking zone in South Korea. What makes it attention-grabbing is the inside, with a entrance bench like in some pickup vehicles. The center seat is folded to function a middle console with cup holders, USB ports, and a wi-fi charging pad. Nevertheless, we are able to simply see the headrest, so three individuals can sit within the entrance as soon as the middle console is raised.

Put three extra individuals within the center and one other three within the again, and you’ve got a nine-seat Palisade. In its home market, drivers can legally drive on the bus lane. It is an SUV different to minivans comparable to the Kia Carnival or Hyundai’s Staria, though each household haulers can seat as much as 11 individuals in some markets.

Then there’s the sheer dimension of this behemoth. The boxier form may create an phantasm, however the brand new Palisade appears larger. The outgoing mannequin already performs within the fullsize SUV phase, stretching at 196.7 inches (4995 millimeters) lengthy. For a fair larger Hyundai, the absolutely electrical Ioniq 9 is 199.2 inches (5060 millimeters) lengthy. Nevertheless, the EV solely seats as much as seven individuals.

The third row appears a bit tough across the edges, however do not forget that it is a prototype, so the standard is lower than snuff. We’re noticing heated and adjustable seats, audio system, two cup holders, a USB charging port, and an air vent within the ceiling. There appears to be respectable legroom for rearmost occupants, and we reckon passengers will not really feel claustrophobic for the reason that quarter glass is massive. Maybe the one factor lacking is a break up tailgate, which solely a handful of enormous SUVs nonetheless supply.

Since Hyundai has already absolutely revealed the design, count on the Asian automaker to drop technical specs within the coming weeks.
