11^th February 2026 - Hyundai’s latest large SUV is here, with luxurious design, a spacious, practical cabin, and first-ever hybrid power: introducing all-new PALISADE.

Launching as a single flagship Calligraphy Hybrid model, all-new PALISADE is available in 8-seater or optional 7-seater configuration with a choice of eight alluring exterior colours and four interior trims.

A next-generation 2.5 T-GDi Hybrid powertrain featuring an innovative dual-motor design brings optimal regenerative braking and superb efficiency, to set the benchmark for all-electric range in a hybrid, while providing an appealing EV-like experience.

All-new PALISADE features an interior Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) function to charge devices and power appliances, along with the new Stay Mode which uses the high-capacity Hybrid battery to power the infotainment and climate control while parked with the engine off.

PALISADE delivers a carefully honed blend of comfort, refinement and handling with the benefit of a bespoke Australasian damper tune developed locally with HMC engineers.

“The all-new PALISADE sets a new benchmark for Hyundai, pairing smooth, efficient hybrid performance with a quieter and more refined driving experience,” says Leighton Agnew, General Manager, Hyundai New Zealand.

“Inside, the focus on luxury is clear. From premium materials to advanced comfort features that create an upscale environment to elevate every journey.”

PALISADE will be arrives in Hyundai dealerships nationwide in the coming months. Customers can register their interest via hyundai.co.nz or at their local Hyundai dealer.
