“We decided that BTS would be most qualified to lead the introduction of Palisade, a completely new type of sport utility vehicle that will march into the international full-sized SUV market early next year,” said a representative from Hyundai.
Five meters in length, Palisade will be Hyundai’s biggest SUV, with three-row seating available in two options -- a seven- or eight-seater. It comes with a 3.8-liter gasoline engine or 2.2-liter diesel engine with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
