The new generation Palisade received the third highest number of orders on its launch day among Hyundai models. The first was the Ioniq 6 SUV with 37,446 units in 2022 and the second was the fourth generation Kia Carnival with 36,455 units in 2023. This number exceeded the orders of the first version of Palisade in 2018 by more than 1.5 times.
According to the company, this is the first comprehensive change for the Palisade in 6 years, with the addition of a hybrid variant and the first 9-seat option. Of the customers who placed orders, about 40% chose the 9-seat version, the remaining 60% chose the high-end Calligraphy version.
The Palisade hybrid model has lower maintenance costs, better fuel economy than the gasoline version, and costs 6 million won (about 86 million VND). Hyundai emphasizes that the new generation Palisade is the first vehicle in its product line to adopt the next-generation hybrid system and Turbo Hybrid 2.5, to meet the growing demand for hybrid vehicles. The Palisade Turbo Hybrid 2.5 is expected to offer a total engine output of up to 334 horsepower, allowing a driving range of more than 1,000 km on a single tank of gas.
In addition, the SUV adopts a battery charge optimization mode to maximize electric power usage - a first for a Hyundai hybrid. This allows drivers to enjoy air conditioning, entertainment systems and other features even when the vehicle is stationary and the engine is off, similar to an electric vehicle.
The new Palisade comes in 12 different trim levels, from Turbo 2.5 to Turbo Hybrid 2.5, with options including Exclusive, Prestige and Calligraphy, and 7 or 9-seat options. The new model starts at 43.8 million won (about 763 million VND).
Hyundai will begin delivering the Turbo 2.5 in January 2025. The hybrid version will be delivered to customers in mid-2025, after receiving low-carbon certification from the Korean Ministry of Environment.
