BTS named brand model for Hyundai Motors SUV Palisade

But it is launching its third new SUV of the year at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Setting its sights on the Toyota Highlander (Kluger) and Nissan Pathfinder in the United States market, the Palisade arrives as the spiritual successor to the Santa Fe XL - a long-wheelbase version of the previous-generation seven-seat large SUV sold Down Under. To put that into perspective, that's almost the size of the Audi Q7, except the German SUV has a longer overall length and wheelbase (+71 mm and +94 mm respectively).

The Palisade is bigger in every dimension than the Santa Fe XL, and by several metrics offers more room inside than its targeted competition.

The Hyundai Santa Fe isn't a small crossover. The SUV has a low drag coefficient (0.33), thanks to its rear spoiler side garnish, a fast A-pillar angle, aero underside panels, rear wheel aero defectors and an optimized front cooling area with an extended internal air guide.

The shift-by-wire system also includes automatic park logic that shifts the vehicle into park when the engine is off and the driver opens the door. When it goes on sale next year, the big three-row crossover will seat up to eight-with two cupholders per person-seven USB ports, and available all-wheel drive. Second-row captain's chairs that can be optionally cooled can replace a standard bench; Hyundai's latest 10.3-inch touchscreen and 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster will be offered on top trims; and a power folding third-row will be optional on most models.

Plenty of driver assistance technologies are included as standard, too, with Hyundai's SmartSense suite featuring autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot assist, high-beam assist, adaptive cruise control with stop&go, rear cross-traffic avoidance, lane-following assist and driver attention monitoring all included across the range.

He told The Washington Post: "Maybe I won't have the meeting". "We must use the right terms: this is a war in Europe", she said. The comments were Trump's strongest to date in condemnation of Russia's recent actions in Ukraine, where tensions are flaring.

Since this is a bigger vehicle, it has a Driver Talk in-car intercom with rear seat conversation modes and sleep modes.

"We created innovative space where all passengers from the driver's seat to the third row can feel comfortable in the Palisade", said Brian Smith, chief operating officer (COO) of Hyundai Motor America who attended the ceremony. It comes with a 3.8-liter gasoline engine or 2.2-liter diesel engine with an eight-speed automatic gearbox. The SUV will come with both two-wheel-drive (2WD) and HTRAC four-wheel-drive (4WD) options.

There's also a differential-locking function for "challenging traction situations".

The 2020 Hyundai Palisade will be manufactured in Ulsan, Korea, and will hit dealerships in the summer of 2019, but we'll have to wait until a little closer to that time before pricing is announced.
