What is the Hyundai Palisade?
The Palisade is Hyundai’s large, three-row SUV, with room for passengers and luggage. It has a more spacious role in the range than the brand’s smaller crossovers, and its layout suits families and people who regularly carry several passengers.
The first generation established the Palisade as a large SUV in Hyundai’s range. The second generation brings a new design and, for the first time, a hybrid option alongside petrol power.

The first generation, code LX2, ran from 2020 to 2025. The second generation, code LX3, began in 2026 and continues today. It brings a substantial redesign, with updated styling and convenience features.
