One area that remains mostly unchanged is the Palisade’s powertrain: Buyers will still get a 3.8-liter V-6 producing 291 horsepower and 262 pounds-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Additional changes have been made to the instrument panel and air vent designs. Owners can also use the latest iteration of Hyundai’s Digital Key 2, which supports iPhone, Apple Watch and Samsung Galaxy devices, to unlock and operate the SUV.Ĭomfort improvements include the first heated third-row seats in a Hyundai, a new ergonomic driver’s seat design, and new wing-out head restraints and ventilation that improve occupant comfort in the second row. Another Hyundai-first technology in the new Palisade is an available Wi-Fi hot spot. A Hyundai-first rearview camera mirror provides a view behind the Palisade if the traditional mirror is obscured by passengers or cargo inside the SUV. A new 12-inch touchscreen display is joined by more powerful USB-C ports (replacing less powerful USB-A connections) and wireless device charging upgraded to 15 watts from 5 watts. The bigger changes happen inside, which gains a host of updated comfort and convenience technologies. The Palisade XRT gets dark-finish 20-inch wheels and “rugged look” exterior styling on the front and rear and along the doors, along with a darkened grille and black roof rails. The XRT designation is one Hyundai has begun using for models that have the appearance of off-road vehicles, though without any additional capability - an increasingly popular move. The other major change is a new XRT trim level. The rear bumper design has also been updated. In photos, the grille looks less angular than other Hyundai models but is still a bit jarring, like someone you know getting veneers with no warning. The most noticeable change to the Palisade’s exterior is its larger, bolder grille design and new vertical LED headlights. In an extremely competitive class - one where the Telluride’s Kia Telluride cousin is stealing the spotlight - will these updates be enough for the Palisade to climb to the top of shopper’s lists?
