Hyundai Showcases Two Next-Generation SUVs: The Hyundai PALISADE Diesel Flagship and the All-New SANTA FE Hybrid – Stylish, Complete, and Great Value
Today’s SUVs have evolved from being simply family utility vehicles into cars that reflect the driver’s taste, identity, and lifestyle. A standout SUV must now deliver on design, technology, and real-world value. Hyundai presents two flagship SUVs built on distinct concepts, each designed to meet diverse lifestyle needs: the Hyundai PALISADE Diesel, a powerful full-size D-SUV often dubbed “the SUV chosen by Korean executives,” and the Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid, a bold, boxy, and modern SUV that blends hybrid technology with versatility and outdoor-ready features.
Ultimately, the best car is not just about impressive specifications it is about which model best reflects the owner’s personality and lifestyle.
Hyundai Palisade – A Diesel D-SUV for Large Families and Long-Distance Travel
The Hyundai PALISADE Diesel is a 7-seat D-SUV powered by a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine delivering 197 horsepower and 440 Nm of torque available from low RPMs. This provides stable, confident driving and effortless overtaking without the need for high engine revs. From an engineering perspective, strong low-end torque reduces strain on the engine and transmission, enhancing long-term durability ideal for frequent long-distance travel. It also offers impressive highway fuel efficiency and is paired with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission for seamless gear changes.
Customers can choose between the Palisade Exclusive 2WD and the Palisade Prestige AWD, catering to both large families and those seeking a durable primary vehicle for long-term, heavy-duty use.
Second-row passengers enjoy premium Captain Seats, complemented by a 3-zone automatic climate control system. A 12.3-inch infotainment display and the Infinity™ Sound System with 12 surround speakers, subwoofer, and external amplifier provide rich, immersive audio for ultimate passenger comfort.
Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid – A Modern SUV for Urban Families
The Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid is a 6-seat SUV powered by a 1.6-liter Turbo Parallel Hybrid system that seamlessly combines engine and electric motor performance. It produces a combined output of 232 horsepower and 367 Nm of torque delivered smoothly from low RPMs, ensuring refined acceleration and confident overtaking without excessive engine strain.
From an engineering standpoint, the hybrid system reduces engine workload, enhances fuel efficiency up to 19.6 km/liter and improves driving quietness. The front-wheel-drive (FWD) system enhances urban agility, while the front MacPherson Strut and rear Multi-link suspension provide an excellent balance between ride comfort and stability, making it a well-rounded primary vehicle for modern families.
Beyond performance, the all-new SANTA FE Hybrid stands out with its distinctive boxy design and premium presence. The interior emphasizes true versatility, featuring electrically adjustable second-row Captain Seats and generous trunk space for both family trips and everyday use. Thoughtful details include up to 16 bottle holders, a wireless charger, USB Type-C ports for every seat, a 12.3-inch infotainment display, and Hyundai SmartSense advanced driver assistance systems that provide comprehensive safety around the vehicle.
