A couple of weeks ago, a test sample of the flagship Korean crossover was once again caught by the lens of photo spies, thanks to which we have the opportunity to examine new details of the future new product.
The first and only generation Hyundai Palisade was first demonstrated in November 2018 at the Los Angeles International Auto Show. It became the production version of the HDC-2 Grandmaster concept and a kind of successor to the Grand Santa Fe model, produced from 2013 to 2018. In the spring of 2022, the Palisade was significantly updated, and now the Korean company is preparing a completely new generation of the model, which will surprise with its design.

The crossover body will be made in an angular style, evoking associations with the younger Santa Fe of the latest generation. Here, there is almost the same glazing with hidden front pillars, relatively simple sidewalls and stampings above the wheel arches. The front part is original: a large radiator grille is already visible, visually united with almost square headlights. Most likely, an LED strip of parking lights will be located along the edge of the hood, like many other new products of the company. The vertical lights are reminiscent of the previous generation Range Rover in their shape, and their graphics, like the front optics, will be based on vertically arranged rectangular blocks of LED elements.

It is expected that the flagship Hyundai crossover will receive a turbocharged V6 gasoline engine with a volume of 3.5 liters, which will replace the current naturally aspirated engine of the same volume with a power of 277 hp. A hybrid modification with a 4-cylinder engine with a volume of 2.5 liters may also appear.

The premiere of the new Palisade may take place during this year.
Recall that earlier we imagined how Hyundai models (including the current Palisade) could look like without the fashionable two-tiered front optics.
