Hyundai Palisade 2021 review: Highlander snapshot

EXPERT RATING
8.4

There are two grades in the Palisade range and the Highlander is the top one with its list price of $71,000 for the V6 petrol variant and $75,000 for the diesel.  

Coming standard on the Highlander are Nappa leather seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen media display, 12-speaker stereo, sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, three-zone climate control, proximity key, push button start, dual LED headlights, head-up display, Nappa leather seats, heated and ventilated front and second row seats, dual sunroof, heated steering wheel and a hands-free tailgate and 20-inch alloy wheels.

All Palisades come standard with eight seats, but the Highlander can be had with seven, at no extra cost, for more comfort and space.

There are two engines in the Palisade line-up: a 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine making 217kW and 355Nm and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder diesel producing 147kW and 440Nm.

The V6 petrol is only available with front-wheel drive, while the diesel comes exclusively with all-wheel drive.

Both engines have an eight-speed automatic transmission.

There’s a full suit of advanced safety tech, including AEB which can detect pedestrians and cyclists. There are also airbags that cover the entire third row.
