Hyundai Palisade STD 4WD 7S

Hyundai has bolstered the SUV segment in KSA with the new Palisade which attracts attention with its big size and imposing road presence. It has got this huge cabin which comfortably seats 8 passengers, top features to make you feel in the lap of luxury with Nappa leather seats, multiple USB ports, and an advanced infotainment system for your music and entertainment. The Palisade is also great in terms of overall performance with the robust 3.8-liter V6 engine producing 295 hp, churning out 55 Nm torque. With such a big SUV, you get safety in built with ProPilot Assist, 360-degree camera system, providing security.

I think the Palisade at a starting price of SAR 220k is on the higher side, while the SUV is quite well-equipped. But I think Hyundai seems to price the car a lot higher given the competition in the segment. Just look at the price point, and you could easily snap a German luxury brand, and most of the customers are in fact doing that. I’m one such example. I liked this car but when compared with inroad price I thought of going with a BMW X1 which is really sufficient for my needs and usability.

Hyundai Palisade is an extremely bold and innovative SUV with stylish looks and new design patterns making an uproar in the segment. I saw the first look at the showroom and it is so massive, unique, and attractive for anyone, I also liked the seamless headlamps with three LED lights having its own use, attached to chrome grille. The engine feels robust and vibration free which makes Hyundai Palisade more desirable SUV, and I am not saying this for the sake of it but it brings joy and comfort to me. The color options could have been better and cargo space is adequate.

Palisade is Hyundai’s powerful SUV in the Saudi market with several brands now offer compelling products. The Palisade is packed with a 3.8L engine producing massive 296Nm of torque. This SUV could be your daily and weekend driving partner, but the price point is on the higher bracket. This makes it to the premium segment, and will find useful but since it is a three row SUV, very suitable for families. I think the 4x4 2024 model looks quite capable and imposing.

I read few articles on Hyundai Palisade and it was quite in favor of Hyundai. When I researched, I could not agree less, because honestly, I think Hyundai’s most luxurious or upper segment SUV model would be Palisade. The front exterior all slated with premium chrome grilles with super edges which gives more attention to the headlights. I really liked the exterior and no doubt it is super fully rich in terms of interior features. The only bit of turn off for me is the price, if it is around 50lacs then good but if it goes beyond, I don’t think so I’m in.

There are some cars which are awesome but not money worth it and then there are some cars which are too great to be true like in the of fast and furious and they are extremely attractive and expensive and Hyundai Palisade is one of those cars. The expected price range is approx. 40 to 50 lacs and it can even go up and the tentative time for its launch is around 2025 and the booking time is way far in the future. Although, Hyundai Palisade will be one of the rare beauties to be see on the roads of India.

Okay so a different SUV with extremely unique name is soon going to be launched in India and the expected time for its delivery is around this time in 2025. And many are excited because the looks are very macho, aggressive, and bulky but bulky in a good way. The few pictures released our quite stunning and I think people will make way for Hyundai Palisade (quite unsure how to pronounce the name). There are quite a few things which are still unclear about the engine specification, variants, range but with time everything will clear out. But I am in love with Palisade.
