The 2020 Hyundai Palisade: Large, Luxurious and Modern
The Hyundai brand enjoys a rich history of innovation and always maximizing the modernity of their cars. In late 2018, the Los Angeles saw the debut of one of the largest and most modern Hyundai crossover SUVs in its history: the 2020 Hyundai Palisade. While its large, five-door stature may seem intimidating to some drivers, if you are the type in need of more than the average crossover can provide, then the versatility and style of this crossover might be exactly what you are looking for! The 2020 Hyundai Palisade is available in five different trim levels: the SE, SEL, SEL Plus, Limited, and Ultimate.
As with other new Hyundai models, the Palisade will also come available with a rich selection of colors to tantalize many aesthetic preferences: enjoy this SUV in Hyper White, Lagoon Silver, Steel Graphite, Sierra Burgundy, Moonlight Cloud, Forest Rain and Becketts Black.
See How This Crossover Makes You Feel!
When you first step inside and take a look around most crossovers, you might feel mild comfort and excitement with their interior space and legroom, but you might not feel any emotions coming to mind at all. The Hyundai Palisade could prove to be a strong exception in the crossover game as its interior contains three rows of seating with awe-inspiring comfort and luxury in every row. You ever drive or ride in a luxury SUV and feel its comfort? Well, Hyundai captured the same feeling in the Palisade with active noise cancellation maintaining a hush from the distractions of the outside world, with lots of leg room and head room for all passengers in all rows to enjoy. Likewise, you will notice that access to the second and third rows is made much simpler than usual with simple one-touch second row seat access. Many trims feature comfortable cloth seating, but the utmost comfort comes from the available Quilted Nappa Leather seating available on select models.
You might think that such breathtaking interior space and comfort means that you will have to sacrifice cargo volume on this mid-size crossover, but nothing could be further from the truth with the new Palisade. Pop open the tailgate and you will find a flexible cargo bay area with room for sporting equipment, luggage, and much, much more! Thanks to the available power-folding third-row seats, you will find that expansion of the cargo bay area is rather easy and can be accomplished on-command as your needs may dictate.
A Performance You Will Enjoy, with Efficiency You Need
However, the flexibility of the interior is only one part of the experience this Palisade brings to you. As the driver, your experience is also important, and this new mid-size crossover just might have you in mind with the power and efficiency underneath its hood. Rather than offering a loud and gas-guzzling powerhouse of a powertrain, the Hyundai Palisade offers smooth performance and efficiency with its standard 3.8-lityer, Atkinson Cycle Gasoline Direct Injection V6 engine, which cranks out 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The Atkinson Cycle engine features Idle Stop & Go, which is similar to technology found on many hybrid engines and is designed to increase fuel economy long-term, by stopping the engine automatically when the SUV is left idle and resuming it again upon acceleration.
While you might also think of a larger crossover SUV as "bulky" and hard to steer, the Palisade puts an exceptional amount of control in the driver's hands with available all-wheel drive and a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission, with available sport mode to give your acceleration a bit more punch.
