Performance

The Palisade is as versatile as you are – ready to go wherever you go, whenever you want to go there. To cater for your demands, the Palisade features four distinct driving modes. Comfort takes on everyday driving with ease, Eco keeps your fuel use to a minimum, while Sport gives you the power and crisp responses you need to tackle any adventure. The fourth mode, Smart, selects a drive mode for you based on your current driving style.

Experience superior handling & control for a new level of driving confidence. HTRAC™ actively adjusts the driving power distribution to all 4 wheels to achieve optimal balance on every kind of road condition.

Unlike traditional mechanical on demand all-wheel-drive systems already introduced, HTRAC™ variably controls the braking and power to the wheels. In combination with the drive modes, HTRAC™ improves acceleration, stability and fuel efficiency. The system increases traction on snow, gravel and, of course, on regular road surfaces while enhancing cornering performance. (2.2 Diesel models only)

All Palisades feature steering wheel mounted paddle shifters which enable fingertip up and down shifting for even greater control and a sportier driving feel.

Boating, camping, moving, exploring—with Palisade the sky’s the limit for bringing along the necessary trailers, cargo and recreational vehicles. The Palisade is perfect for an active lifestyle and is equipped for up to 2,200kg of heavy-duty braked towing.⁠

*Towbar is an extra cost option.

Delivering smooth gear-changes, the intelligent 8-speed automatic transmission provides enhanced responsiveness and improved fuel efficiency. The characteristics of the transmission can also be adapted dependent on the drive mode selected.

The proven 2.2-litre 'R Series' CRDi engine represents the perfect partner for the Palisade with a combination of fuel efficiency and performance. Equipped with 147 kW of power, and an impressive 440 Nm of torque this leading engine is paired with an intelligent 8-speed automatic transmission. 

The latest Hyundai 'Lambda' 3.8 V6 GDi petrol engine delivers 217 kW of power, 355 Nm of torque and is available with a 8-speed automatic transmission. This newly developed combination achieves the perfect balance between performance and incredible refinement.
