Hyundai Palisade Exterior
With its slippery wind-cheating profile, the new Hyundai Palisade cuts through the wind to the tune of a drag coefficient of 0.33 Cd. Aided by the swept-back windshield and A-pillar combination, as well as the extended internal air guide, it manages to keep things flowing on top. The aerodynamically smoothed underside panels and rear wheel aero deflectors all do their part to keep a free-flow of air underneath. They also do their part to keep noise intrusion from the road to a minimum.
Hyundai Palisade Interior
With an environment for up to eight passengers, your new Hyundai Palisade is a cocoon of serenity that is ready to carry your family in uncompromising comfort. Wrapped in a luxurious leather-equipped interior, certain models are covered with premium quilted Nappa leather, which is accented by a smooth wraparound woodgrain-trimmed instrument panel.Â
There is ample storage space in both the under-elbow bin and the lower level console. Seats are comfortable for the long haul and include one-touch easy-access second row seating which slides forward and out of the way for access to the third row. Those third row seats aren't slouches either: they offer power folding, unfolding and reclining functions for those who enjoy a nap in the "way back."Â
With everyone living a connected lifestyle, you wonder, are there enough USB outlets? In a word, "Yes." In fact, there's seven of them located throughout the cabin. There's also the novel feature of the conversation mirror that allows the driver to see the passengers they are talking to in the back and the way back (The second and the third row). Class-exclusive Blind View Monitors complement the standard Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist (BSCAA) and provide easy to see body side views as turn signals are engaged.Â
Like a modern day jetliner, the new Hyundai Palisade from Napleton's Hyundai of Urbana features what in the aviation industry is known as a glass cockpit. Consisting of a 12.3-inch fully digital TFT screen and a 10.25 inch touchscreen display, they help to operate audio, climate, navigation and drive controls. The audio system can connect two Bluetooth devices; one for streaming audio, the other for telephone connectivity. There are seven available USB outlets located throughout the cabin for all passengers. But honestly, they can't hold a candle to the 16 cupholders (16!). That means each passenger gets a juice box AND a Super Big Gulp. Oh, and did we tell you the Palisade is also loaded with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. If you are a real power user, there is an available Qi Wireless charging pad for compatible smartphones.Â
Essentially a concert hall on wheels, the Palisade can be outfitted with Infinity's Premium Audio System with Clari-Fi. Clari-Fi is a feature used to restore audio recordings that have been lost because of the digital recording process. Take a listen, you'll be sold. Did we tell you the Palisade can haul all your things too? Behind the third row, there is 18.0 cubic feet of storage space. Fold the third row forward and that area opens up to 45.8 cubic feet.Â
