Hyundai Palisade 2026 Video Review

Initially, Hyundai was adamant its three-row Palisade SUV wasn’t even on the agenda for Australian sale. But sure enough, it’s now been in market here for close to five years. And this is the one many prospective buyers have been waiting for - the all-new second-generation version to be offered here in petrol-electric hybrid form only.

For now, it’ll be available in one high-end Calligraphy grade, replacing all existing pure-combustion variants. And Hyundai invited CarsGuide to have a sneaky steer of a prototype example before the full production version hits showrooms next month.

This full-size seven- and eight-seater goes up against some heavy hitters in the large SUV weight division, like the Toyota LandCruiser Prado, Ford Everest and Isuzu MU-X.
