The new Palisade adopts a boxier and more upright design compared to its predecessor. The oversized parametric grille has been replaced with a sleeker rectangular unit, flanked by vertically stacked headlamps. The prominent daytime-running LEDs feature distinctive rectangular segments, adding a modern touch.

From the side, the window line is noticeably larger, and the bulky C-pillar of the previous model has been streamlined. Sharp creases over the fenders enhance the muscular profile, while the D-pillar, finished in silver, adds an elegant break to the design.

Upgraded Cabin with a 9-Seat Option

The second-gen Palisade introduces a new 9-seat configuration, making it an attractive choice for larger families or groups seeking luxury and practicality.

Inside, the Palisade features an evolutionary cabin design with premium materials and thoughtful upgrades. The upper dashboard now wraps around seamlessly, housing the infotainment system and digital instrument cluster. Below, the lower dashboard includes a shelf-like design with integrated air-con vents and physical controls.

The center console is detached from the dashboard, creating an open storage area underneath. It also includes modern conveniences such as a wireless charger, a 100W USB charging outlet, and a storage cubby. Dual sunroofs further enhance the cabin’s airy and spacious feel.
