Inovev forecasts 50,000 new Hyundai Palisade SUVs per year
- The Korean manufacturer Hyundai is completing its SUV range with the Palisade, which is at the top of the range. The Palisade is indeed a large SUV of 4.98m long that can accommodate seven people and is primarily intended for the North American market, which is very fond of large SUVs.
- The Palisade is in the Hyundai SUV range above Kona (B-segment), Tucson (C-segment), Santa Fe (D-segment) and Grand Santa Fe (E-segment). The Grand Santa Fe is a lengthened version of the Santa Fe that has seven seats and replaced the iX55 in 2015.
- The Palisade features a 295hp V6 3.8l petrol engine, making it the most powerful model in the Hyundai lineup. With its appearance and size, the Palisade intends to compete with the Ford Explorer, Chevrolet Traverse, Toyota Highlander and Sequoia, but also with the Cadillac Escalade, which has a similar style. The Palisade is expected to be produced in South Korea and its production volume should not exceed 50,000 units per year.
- This new model will also soon be available in a plug-in hybrid version, like its cousin Kia Telluride (who will share its platform) which will be at the top of the Kia range. This new Kia model is expected to be introduced in the first quarter of 2019.
