Next Hyundai Palisade SUV: Everything we know so far about the new model

Hyundai is hurriedly preparing a successor to the popular Palisade. Here’s what we think it’ll look like.

A successor to the current first-generation Hyundai Palisade large SUV is just around the corner and is expected for a local showroom arrival in 2025. But, like its smaller Santa Fe sibling, will look vastly different to the current model and is due to adopt hybrid engine technology.

Various spy photos captured over past months point towards boxy Range Rover-esque styling for the front and the rear, while a new hybrid powertrain is all-but-confirmed to replace the ageing 3.8-litre non-turbo V6 petrol and 2.2-litre diesel engine options – at least in Australia.

Here’s all the information – as we know it – about the next-generation Hyundai Palisade.

What engine will power the new Hyundai Palisade?

According to South Korean publication ETNews, the previous-generation 3.8-litre petrol V6 is expected to be replaced by a 3.5-litre turbocharged petrol V6, a derivative of what’s already used in Genesis luxury models.

Meanwhile, the 2.2-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder will reportedly be dropped in favour of a new 2.5-litre petrol-electric hybrid engine.

Hyundai Australia chief operating officer John Kett told Drive a hybrid engine option for the next-generation Hyundai Palisade might have to be an all-out replacement rather than an additional powertrain option, given the advent of new emissions regulations.

“[A hybrid] may need to be a replacement [of diesel and petrol engines for the next Palisade], given the restrictions on [the New Vehicle Emissions Standard],” said Kett.

Current-generation Hyundai Santa Fe

“So I think all the brands are going to have to reinvent it, or follow it to some degree. I mean, we can’t say anything about the future powertrains for Palisade, but you’d think it would make sense given the way those regulations are going to hit us, as of next year.

The looming New Vehicle Emissions Standard (NVES) has forced Hyundai’s hand to introduce more hybrid options within its model range.

At the launch of the new Hyundai Santa Fe earlier in 2024, Hyundai opted for an all-hybrid model line-up. However, a turbocharged petrol engine option will be added in the future.

Similarly, a hybrid powertrain option was added to the Hyundai Tucson medium-sized SUV mid-way through the year.

“We have to be super conscious of looking for powertrain alternatives that meet those emissions [targets],” a Hyundai spokesperson added.

“But in doing that, still meet the needs of consumers in terms of how those vehicles will be driven.

“And that’s going to be top of mind to us, and I think as we get closer to the end of this year, or certainly early next year, we can be clear in what form that will take, across our portfolio.”

When will the new Hyundai Palisade arrive in Australia?

According to Korean Car Blog, production of the next-generation Hyundai Palisade is due to commence in December 2024.

Additionally, it’s reported that Hyundai will begin with European deliveries in the first half of next year and North American sales in the second half.

Australian timing is less clear, though it’s expected that the new Palisade will make its way Down Under for a showroom arrival at some point in 2025.

What will the new Hyundai Palisade look like?

Spy photos of pre-production cars show the new Hyundai Palisade will adopt boxier styling than before, with specific design cues borrowed from the wider Hyundai portfolio – such as the new Hyundai Santa Fe.

The above renders illustrated by artist Theottle show a tall glasshouse with contrasting C-pillar and window supports, while unintegrated roof rails sit atop the roof. Squared-off wheel arches accentuate new wheel designs.

As before, the new Hyundai Palisade will feature a prominent front grille beset by a pair of wide headlights. However, three-bar horizontal headlight signatures are expected to feature alongside vertical indicators and daytime running lights.

Several design cues are reminiscent of the third-generation (L322) Range Rover – the glasshouse, the side profile, and the rear end, which appears to adopt long, vertical tail-lights.

The next Hyundai Palisade is expected to be underpinned by a new platform with a longer wheelbase, allowing the new car to better compete with its large SUV rivals such as the Honda Pilot and Toyota Grand Highlander in the United States.

Hyundai’s new infotainment system, ccNC, will feature in the next Hyundai Palisade in addition to Hyundai’s semi-autonomous driving software, Highway Driving Assist.

Previous spy shots show dual 12.3-inch displays within the dashboard and a steering column-mounted gear selector, similar to the current Santa Fe.

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade is expected to be revealed before the end of the year, ahead of an Australian arrival sometime in 2025.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals.
