In a noteworthy move, Hyundai has successfully turned the spotlight on the second-generation 2026 Palisade model. Following the reveal of its exterior and interior design images, the car was recently spotted on public roads in South Korea for the first time.

Comprehensive and Striking Updates

The noticeable changes in the structure and specifications of the new Palisade reflect a modern approach to designing premium vehicles. The model features a broader and more muscular front end, complemented by a wide grille and lighting units with Hyundai's signature "pixel" design. Additionally, the new wheel design stands out with a size of 21 inches.

Leaked footage revealed the presence of a front bench seat that can be converted into a center console equipped with cup holders, USB ports, and a wireless charger. The seat can also be returned to its original position when needed. Furthermore, this version of the Palisade offers a nine-seat interior configuration, allowing it to use bus lanes in Korea, making it a viable alternative to minivans.

Although Hyundai has confirmed the vehicle’s increased dimensions, detailed specifications remain unknown. Performance and power details are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks.
