PALISADE Hybrid
If you were clamoring for a gas-electric version of the Palisade, then your wait is over. The biggest news out of the Hyundai camp this year is that its popular three-row utility vehicle has finally been expanded with a more efficient – and more powerful – version. That’s correct: the Palisade Hybrid puts out 42 more ponies than the conventional gasoline-only original, with the added feat of improving the EPA-estimated fuel economy by 14 mpg (city/highway combined rating). Beyond that, the interior shows off twin 12.3-inch screens, a wireless charge pad for smartphones, and a sunroof – either single or dual-pane, depending on the trim level. Plus, every Palisade Hybrid comes with navigation, a height-adjustable power liftgate, and Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium, among other handy amenities that increase both comfort and convenience on every drive.
