Hyundai is the largest car manufacturer in India after Maruti. This company has a huge customer base in India. This company sells cars in almost every segment of India. Hyundai is going to launch many new SUVs in India in the coming time. One of these SUVs could also be the company’s most premium car, the Hyundai Palisade. The company has made this SUV for the left-hand drive market where full-size SUVs are very much liked. The company is currently studying in India to launch this car in India. Tarun Garg, Director of Sales and Marketing, Hyundai India confirmed that the company is looking to launch the car in India.

Palisade engine

The company will do this in India with two types of powertrains. Hyundai’s Palisade is likely to get a 2.2-litre turbocharged diesel unit that will be capable of producing 200 PS of maximum power and 440 Nm of peak torque. The Hyundai Palisade is also likely to get an all-wheel-drive system. Apart from this, Hyundai may also offer a 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated V6 engine that can produce a maximum output of 295 PS and a peak torque of 355 Nm. As for the transmission, it is expected to come mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The Hyundai Palisade Kia Palisade facelift will take on rivals like the Kia Telluride.

Hyundai Palisade Design

Looking at the new Hyundai Palisade, its front-end styling looks different from the old Hyundai Palisade. The old grill has made way for a much wider, larger and more upright ‘parametric’ grill design. The LED daytime running light signature of this car has been changed. It has been moved to the front corner. The headlights of the Hyundai Palisade have been updated a lot. The front bumper of the car has also been updated with a cleaner look. What sets the new Palisade apart from its former facelift counterpart is in the profile. New metallic wheels have been designed for it. Its rear hasn’t changed much. The re-profiled bumper and net diffuser section of the Hyundai Palisade have been slightly modified. The Hyundai Venue facelift that is expected to arrive in India soon is likely to get a similar grille design.
