Hyundai Australia has been crying out for two things over the past few years: a dual-cab ute and a full-size SUV. And while the fate of the ute remains unclear for now, optimism abounds for the new 2021 Hyundai Palisade that lands in Australian showrooms this month.
Not only does the seven-seat or eight-seat SUV (you have the choice of either layout, with no extra cost) complement the slightly smaller and newly-updated Santa Fe within Hyundai’s local range, it also gives the Korean marque a genuine rival to volume-selling models including the Toyota Kluger, Mazda CX-9 and Nissan Pathfinder.
