2020 Hyundai Palisade - Interior Exterior Drive
The new Santa Fe launched earlier this year is bigger than its predecessor, but Hyundai knows there are families looking for something even larger. Enter Palisade. The new midsize SUV is not only larger than the regular Santa Fe, but also bigger in every way than the Santa Fe XL. It’s 196.1 inches long, 77.8 inches wide, and 68.9 inches tall, with a generous wheelbase stretching at a Nissan Pathfinder-matching 114.2 inches or a full four inches more than that of the aforementioned Santa Fe XL.
In regards to the oily bits, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 producing an estimated 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet (355 Newton-meters) of torque. The engine is hooked up to an eight-speed automatic transmission and will be offered with both two- and four-wheel-drive setups. Hyundai’s proprietary HTRAC all-paw system comes with the usual driver-selectable Normal, Sport, and Smart modes, plus a newly developed Snow mode for slippery conditions.

After its big debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the Korean-built Palisade will go on sale in the United States in the summer of 2019.
