Hyundai unveiled the Palisade in November 2018 at the Los Angeles Auto Show and facelifted its fullsize SUV in April 2022 for the New York Auto Show. A second-generation model being engineered under the "LX3" codename is apparently on the way, according to South Korean outlet ETNews. Mass production is allegedly scheduled to begin in January 2025, representing a two-month delay caused by a reevaluation of the project.
It is believed the next-gen Palisade will move to a different platform that'll bring a longer wheelbase compared to the current model, which measures 196.7 inches (4995 millimeters) between the axles. It would appear that Hyundai will finally electrify its big SUV by offering a 2.5-liter gasoline hybrid powertrain. Stricter emissions regulations are said to force the discontinuation of the 2.2-liter diesel in the markets where the large family vehicle is offered with the CRDi engine.
