Hyundai Palisade Limited

The Hyundai Palisade Limited targets large-family needs with eight seats, strong reliability and safety signals, and enough power for relaxed highway travel. If you want sharp city maneuverability or sporty response, its 8.0 s 0–100 km/h and 10.2 L/100 km consumption make it better for road trips than urban errands.
