Hyundai adds the more off-road-focused Palisade XRT PRO, priced at $79,900 plus on-road costs. The eight-seater uses a 207kW/422Nm turbocharged 2.5-litre petrol engine with AWD, 212mm ground clearance, all-terrain tyres, rear e-LSD, and 2200kg towing capacity.

Expanded next-generation Palisade SUV introduces the Calligraphy Black Ink flagship with blacked-out grille, exterior trim, badging, wheels, and roof rails, the cabin gaining black metallic trim. Power continues to be from the turbo 2.5-litre four cylinder petrol-electric hybrid system with AWD.

The new-generation Palisade SUV is now in highly specified Calligraphy trim level only featuring a punchy turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol hybrid drivetrain and a choice of seven- or eight-seat cabins. Features localised suspension and a raft of new technology inclusions.

Top tier Palisade Calligraphy scores familiar 3.8-litre V6 petrol FWD and 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel AWD powertrain choices with extensive tech and luxury kit. Only available with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Jumping the gun here a touch but the safer, smarter and more luxurious revised Hyundai Palisade with the biggest grille in the world arrives August 1.

The Palisade is Hyundai's biggest SUV and arrives Down Under this month in both seven- and eight-seat configurations.
