Hello guys! And welcome to CarsReboot. Today I'm gonna discuss the Hyundai Palisade which many people are enthusiastic especially in the Indian market to know about it.
Into the topic and Hyundai Palisade is primarily an XL-sized SUV which replaces the Santa Fe sits above the segment of Ford Endeavour and Toyota Fortuner in India. Let us get into each aspect of it step by step. In global market the competition for Hyundai Palisade are Ford Explorer, Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot and others.
1. Design: Hyundai has designed this one to look more broader, longer and also muscular interms of appearance it seems and as stated above it does look way more professional and family oriented by its looks primarily.
Starting from the front part of it, Palisade looks intimidating and also muscular when looked from the front and also that C-shaped DRL's and that chunky looking Hyundai's cascading grille with thick chrome inserts at the end make it appeal more stronger and also the headlamps which were placed vertically.
Coming to the sideways, it looks more family oriented and professional rather than sporty looking one. The 20'inch multi-spoke alloys do create a sense of rich and professional feel when looked at and the chrome-lining is there throughout the windows area.
Coming to the rear, it retains the same C-shaped stop lamps and here also the chrome strip runs at one side of the stop lamps and the Palisade badging gives it even more fancy appeal.
2. Interiors: Palisade's interiors are simple, clean and clutterless to keep it short. It comes with three-row seating among which you can have the option of captain seats in the 2nd row and we get both front seats with seat ventilation, heated steering wheel and also heated seats as well. Along with this if you choose the option of captain seats in the middle then you can have the heated and cooled seats for them also. To access the 3rd row, you can do it with the press of a simple button and to fold down the 3rd-row seats, you can do it with the simple press of a button.
Now let us get into the dash a bit.
This is how it looks and this one comes with a 10.25'inch touch screen with android and apple connectivity and also it comes with a 7-speaker Harman music system. It comes with a 3-zone climate control with controls in the second row. It also comes with different driving modes like snow, mud, rocks and also comes with sport, eco and comfort which we can choose considering our driving preferences. Palisade is also equipped with a offroad capable H-TRAC system and it pumps power to the wheels when it detects lack of traction.
Palisade comes with a button-style driving which we have seen in the Honda CR-V in India.
The Instrument cluster is a digital unit with all the info on it starting from the navigation, animations and also every detail regarding the vehicle can be seen here. We have the lane watching, blind-spot monitoring with cameras at side mirrors, front and rear parking sensors and also it has some unique features which works like this. If you have children in 3rd row and you want to tell them something while driving and you can't turn and tell as it leads to accidents so what the infotainment system does is that it records the voice and plays it through the speakers there and also one more feature is that 'when you stop at any tolls and while waiting if the vehicle ahead moves and you haven't observed it means, using the sensors the system reminds you that the vehicle ahead you has moved. So, like this there are a ton of features and also it comes with a hands-free tailgate too.
4. Engine: Hyundai Palisade comes with a 3.8lit V6 engine that churns out 290Ps of power and it gives a mileage of around 8-9 km which I'm not sure and there's also another 2.2lit Diesel engine comes with a 8-speed AT gearbox for all. The Body of the Palisade is made with high amount of Advanced High strength steel and it has got everything to save you from any mishap.
As of now Hyundai India is preparing a 7-seater Creta version which was caught by some car channels and the launch of Palisade to India is uncertain as of now but if they are gonna launch it in India then expect its prices to be around 31.5 - 38.5 Lakhs depending and this is just my assumption only because the details of it are uncertain and if they bring the Diesel i.e, 2.2lit one then the price has a chance of slight decrease but we must wait for sometime more as this pandemic is erupting continuously in almost all over the world.
Thank you for reading this huge post and if you like this post, then comment down your opionions about the vehicle and also do comment either yes or no if you want it to be launched in Indian market? That's it for this post and see you in the next one.🙂
