About the Hyundai Palisade LX2
Unveiled at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show, the Palisade replaced the Santa Fe XL as Hyundai's largest SUV. It is built on a shared platform with the Kia Telluride but features a distinct design language and a more tech-focused interior. The 3.8-litre Lambda II V6 engine uses the Atkinson cycle for improved efficiency without sacrificing the smooth power delivery expected of a family hauler. It is noted for its high-quality cabin materials and a suspension tuned for long-distance cruising comfort.

Hyundai Palisade LX2 fun facts
- The Palisade is named after the Pacific Palisades, an affluent coastal neighbourhood in Los Angeles, California.
- Despite its size, the Palisade has a relatively low drag coefficient of 0.33, achieved through aero-optimised underside panels and rear wheel deflectors.
- The 3.8-litre V6 engine is one of the few in its class to utilise the Atkinson cycle, a technology more commonly found in hybrid vehicles to maximise thermal efficiency.
