2025 Hyundai Palisade: Minor Tweaks, Major Appeal

Hyundai’s flagship SUV, the Palisade, is sticking to its winning formula for the 2025 model year, with no major changes to specifications. However, there are a few notable updates and pricing adjustments that current and prospective buyers should be aware of.

Pricing Adjustments

For the 2025 model year, the Hyundai Palisade sees a modest price increase, particularly affecting the top-tier Calligraphy Black Ink variants. The entry-level model remains at $66,800 before on-road costs, but higher trims have experienced price hikes:

• Palisade Elite FWD V6: $66,800
• Palisade Elite AWD Diesel: $70,800
• Palisade Calligraphy FWD V6: $75,900
• Palisade Calligraphy Black Ink FWD V6: $78,400 (+$1500)
• Palisade Calligraphy Black Ink AWD Diesel: $81,719 (+$1731)
• Palisade Calligraphy AWD Diesel: $79,219

These adjustments reflect a slight increase in cost but align with Hyundai’s strategy to offer premium features at competitive prices.

What’s New?

While the Palisade’s core specifications remain unchanged for 2025, a few updates are worth noting:

1. Discontinued Colour Option: The Burgundy Sierra exterior paint option will be phased out in August 2024. This leaves a palette of eight colors, including new options like Robust Emerald and Moonlight Blue.
2. Upcoming Model Changes: Hyundai is preparing a new generation of the Palisade, codenamed LX3, which will include a hybrid powertrain. Originally set to begin production in January 2025, it is now expected to start in December 2024 due to growing demand for hybrid vehicles.

Powertrains and Performance

The 2025 Palisade continues to offer two engine choices:

• 3.8L V6 Petrol: Available with front-wheel drive (FWD), it produces 217kW of power and 355Nm of torque. It’s paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and delivers a combined fuel economy of 10.7L/100km.
• 2.2L Turbo-Diesel: Available with all-wheel drive (AWD), this engine provides 147kW of power and 440Nm of torque. It also uses an 8-speed automatic transmission and achieves a more economical 7.3L/100km combined fuel consumption.

Both engines feature a 71L fuel tank, ensuring adequate range for long journeys.
