Hyundai Palisade: Hyundai Motor Company has revealed the next generation of palisade of flagship SUVs ahead of its market launch in South Korea. The new model is slightly bigger in all departments; it measuring has a short front overhang, a longer wheel base and a additional long rear overhang.
In terms of appearance, its design represents a more boxy look and a higher vertical position as compared with the current global variant. On the inside, we find an evolution in terms of design and a new 9-seater proposition for increased practicality and comfort.
Updated Front Design With Glossy Elements
Concerning design elements, the large parametric mesh has been replaced by a slimmer rectangular one with integrated newly designed vertically stacked headlights. The daytime running LEDs remain in the vertical position, but their design has been made more elaborate: they are rectangular and stand out clearly.
Refined Side Profile
At the side it is horizontally bothered by the extension of the window line, however the new model has done away with the large C-pillar add-on of the previous model. Fenders have become aggressive to look at and for better definition new creases have been added over the wheel arches. Furthermore, there is a contrasting silver hue used on the D Pillar to give a new feeling and bring attention to architecture of the car; the particular focus was made to the window line which is interrupted by the D Pillar.
At the back, the new Palisade comes with vertically oriented tail lamps that are divided by a center line into two segments are in line with the car’s frontal averaged DRL. An understated spoiler caps the otherwise plain ass end, while the lower bumper incorporates a fake skid plate to lend some cattiness to the equation.
Evolutionary Interior Design with Enhanced Comfort
The new Palisade’s cabin gets an evolutionary upgrade with a combined upper dashboard integrating the infotainment system and the instrument cluster surrounded by a ditch. The lower area has an ergonomic wave-like shelf for the air vents, which also come equipped with physical controls. The central part can be turned into a mid-sized lower storage area and the seat area contains console, wireless charger, 100W USB port and a small box. Sliding sunroof on the roof and moonroof at the front bring in plenty of light and fresh air.
The interior of Palisade is also nine-seat option for the first time; the front center console also serves as the ninth seat. The second row can be configured with individual chairs or a bench seat, while the third row features a standard 60:40 split bench. Even though there hasn’t been the official revelation of powertrain specifications, the manufacturer will likely offer traditional as well as electrified choices.
