Hyundai has unveiled the all-new Palisade in the UAE. It was unveiled at a regional press conference and media event held in Dubai.
The Korean carmaker’s flagship SUV features a commanding design with a wider premium grille, vertically connected LED composite lights and boasting Hyundai’s signature design. The SUV sits on muscular 20-inch wheels with a new multi-spoke gush and also features rear wheel aero deflectors.
Power and performance is aplenty with the 3.5-liter MPI V6 delivering 277 horsepower and 336 Nm torque. People looking for more grunt can go for an Atkinson-cycle 3.8-liter V6, dual CVVT, direct-injected engine which offers an estimated 295 horsepower and 355 NM of torque.
Step inside and you will find a cozy and plush cabin, something the Palisade has been having for a long time now. The Palisade has a “digital center” rearview mirror, which uses a rearview camera so the driver can see everything behind without the passengers and cargo coming in the way.
The wireless charger now has been upgraded from 5 watts to 15 watts to allow for faster charging while Hyundai claims that the 12-inch display is more user-friendly than ever.
Wing-out headrests and seat ventilation is available in the 2nd row of the car while the capacity to seat eight people is available - so the whole family can enjoy together.
A family SUV requires top-notch safety features to keep everyone safe and that’s exactly what the Palisade has with tech like Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Reverse Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist and Remote Smart Parking Assist available as part of the ADAS (advanced driver assistance) system.
“The new Hyundai Palisade reflects the best in Hyundai design ethos and technology capabilities” said Hyoung Jong Im, Head of Hyundai Motor Middle East & Africa HQ. “We are confident with the Palisade’s abundance of new design cues, highly enhanced luxury and convenience features, and many smart family-oriented tech. These best-in-class features, combined with our commitment to quality, make the new Hyundai Palisade a formidable contender in the family SUV segment.
