最近谍照记者再次拍到了现代Palisade八座SUV，虽然这并非首次拍到该车，但这次拍到的照片显示了车辆的格栅和前脸设计。这次拍到的照片显示了底部前脸开口，这在此前是没有见过的。同时，在底部前脸还可以看到一些设计元素。前大灯面积更大，而且格栅的伪装更少一些。不过，格栅上部那个硕大圆形环还是被遮住了，而这正是设置车标的位置。这款车的很多元素似乎都借鉴了2019款胜达和Grandmaster概念车的元素。现代在开发Palisade的同时，起亚也在开发其大型SUVTelluride，这两款车有不少相似之处。两款车很可能同时投产。目前，现代Palisade的开发仍处于早期阶段。明年，现代将有一款三排座胜达XL上市。未来，Palisade可能会取代这款车的位置。预计该车将搭载一台3.3升V6引擎，功率290马力，搭配八速自动变速器。而起亚Telluride概念车搭载的是3.5升V6引擎，搭配一台电机，功率400马力。而Palisade可能会搭载3.3升双涡轮引擎，功率365马力。在它的引擎盖下面有很大的空间。现代GenesisG80和G90搭载的也是这台引擎。当现代Palisade上市时，竞争车型包括雪佛兰Suburban和福特Expedition。预计该车将于明年发布，量产版2020年上市。
8-Seat Hyundai Palisade SUV Spied With Entire Nose Revealed
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Hyundai Palisade – an eight-seat behemoth of an SUV. Spy photos popped up back in April of the family hauler. Heavy camouflaged covered much of the exterior design. However, new spy photos from Arizona caught the Palisade with its front clip showing, giving us a glimpse of the grille and front fascia design.
What’s new is the lower fascia opening, which we haven’t seen before. You can also spot some design elements on the lower fascia. The headlight units are larger now that we can see more of them, and less of the grille is covered. However, there’s a big circular spot in the upper center hidden where the Hyundai emblem lives. It appears the Palisade borrows from both the 2019 Santa Fe and the Grandmaster concept.
Hyundai is developing the Palisade alongside Kia’s large SUV – the Telluride. You can spot several similarities. The two should be alike when they enter production. Right now, Hyundai’s Palisade development is in the early stages. In 2019, there will be a three-row Santa Fe XL hitting the market. The Palisade will eventually replace it as the brand’s premier SUV offering.
Under the hood should be a 3.3-liter V6 producing 290 horsepower paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. When Kia introduced the Kia Telluride concept, it had a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with an electric motor to produce 400 combined horsepower. Then again, the Palisade could receive a biturbocharged version of the 3.3-liter engine, which produces 365 hp. There should be plenty of room under the hood. It’s the same engine int he Genesis G80 and G90 luxury models.
When Hyundai brings the Palisade to dealerships, it will compete with the Chevrolet Suburban and Ford Expedition. We should see an official debut sometime in 2019 with a production version coming in 2020.
