Hyundai Motor Company is set to introduce a 'high roof' model of the Palisade, raising the vehicle's roof height by 240 mm. This new model aims to target premium and outdoor market demands, accelerating the company's strategy in the large sports utility vehicle (SUV) segment.
On August 25, Hyundai announced the launch of the 2027 Palisade, which includes the high roof model along with new trims emphasizing premium design, such as 'Black Ink,' and an outdoor-oriented 'XRT' trim. Key safety and convenience features have been standardized across all trims to enhance the vehicle's appeal.
The high roof model expands the interior space by increasing the roof height to 240 mm, resulting in a total height of 2005 mm, while still allowing for entry into underground parking facilities.
The new Black Ink trim is based on the Calligraphy model and incorporates black design elements throughout the vehicle. It comes equipped with 21-inch black alloy wheels, Pirelli tires, and a preview electronic control suspension as standard features.
Additionally, the XRT trim has been introduced to cater to outdoor enthusiasts. It features exclusive 20-inch alloy wheels, ventilated second-row seats, and BOSE premium speakers as standard, along with unique design elements for the radiator grille, garnish, cladding, roof rack, and emblem.
The 2027 Palisade expands safety technology starting from the base Exclusive trim, which includes a 12.3-inch cluster, a panoramic curved display, forward collision-avoidance assist, navigation-based smart cruise control, highway driving assist 2, and blind-spot collision-avoidance assist as standard features.
A Hyundai representative stated, 'The 2027 Palisade will maintain its unique position in the domestic large SUV market through standardization of features and enhanced product appeal.'
In July, 2,545 units of the Palisade were sold in the domestic market. The vehicle has also been recognized globally for its competitiveness, being selected as a finalist in the utility category for the 2026 North American Car of the Year (NACTOY) awards.
