Design and Features
As mentioned above, please watch the video linked below for a full in-depth exploration of the exterior design and differences. While the new Palisade does show some family resemblance to the previous model, this new generation really does take on a new face! Hyundai has widened many of the grille and lighting elements for an elegant appearance, with that look waterfalling to the rear. There are no differences for the hybrid model, other than the Hybrid specific badging on the rear.
