Some details below about things that are not obvious or easy to find

Current floor stock = 2020
  • At the time of writing (29/01/2021) all MY21 floor stock at dealers are 2020 builds (Oct-Dec). Not an issue now, but it'll be treated as a one year older car when it comes to trade-in or resale.
  • "In transit" means mid-March ETA. Unsure if these will be 2020 or 2021 builds.
  • New order 2021 builds have about a 3 month wait.

MY2022 specs & stock expected ~June/July 2021.

Limited colours & trim

Seating:
Base model: 8 seats only
Highlander: 7 or 8 Seat option
- 7 seats = 2nd row Captain's chairs (2-2-3 config)
- 8 seats = traditional bench (2-3-3 config)
- Same price for 7 or 8 seats

7 seats are really comfortable and classy, but…
The config leaves a large gap between the 2nd row seats for the walk-through to the back.
No factory accessories are available (even internationally) to fill the hole between the Captain's chairs.
Probable issue with groceries/luggage rolling through the gap from the boot to the front.

Colours:
Australian specs are limited to the following colour combos:

Highlander spec:

  • Black with burgundy interior
  • White with burgundy interior
  • Burgundy with burgundy interior
  • Steel graphite with light beige interior
  • Moonlight Cloud with light beige interior

Base model:

  • Black with black interior
  • White with black interior
  • Burgundy with black interior
  • Steel graphite with black interior

Drivetrain
  • AWD = Diesel only
  • 2WD = Petrol only
USA specs not equal AU specs
  • Australian base-model Pali's are generally higher spec'd than the equivilent USA models, but USA, Canada & Korea gets some pretty sweet extras that we can't get.
  • Be careful what you read on US forums about available specs & options.

USA specs that AU can't get:

    What did you pay / get quoted for your Palisade?

    I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that no one on this forum has purchased a Palisade.

    • TimU on 29/01/2021 - 23:43

      I bet you're wrong :)

    That thing is 80k?

    I need to get out more..

    Ask on Whirlpool. Everyone on here drives a white camry.

    At the moment car prices are sky high. ANY discount off advertised drive-away price is an achievement. Pretty much every popular model has zero or near zero stock available.

    • The-Kremlin on 30/01/2021 - 07:07

      10 year old white camry*

        Big indentation in the bumper. One scrape on bumper. One scrape on passenger side. IF washed (big if), washed with Meguires gold class. The wheels have never been cleaned. Every tyre is a different brand and level of tread, none of them are any brand you have ever heard of before.

    Imagine traveling back in time 15 or so years and telling people you were spending $80,000 on a Hyundai…

      At the same time tell them they wouldn't be able to buy a Commo or Falcon anymore either.

      I saw a new Palisade the other day cruising through an intersection and honestly, it looked great. I'd buy one. Strangely though, I am drawn to the Kia Carnival even though I have no kids and never intend to carry that burden.

      • redvaldez on 02/02/2021 - 12:45

        The courtesy car at my local dealer is a Kia Carnival. I hate to admit it, but it's pretty pleasant to be in. And in the era of forced induction, it's refreshing to hear the engine note of a crisp 6 cylinder petrol engine.

        • Mechz on 02/02/2021 - 13:36

          I had one in Mexico at the end of 2019 for a week-ish of short and long trips. So much better than I expected. We crammed 7 adults and a lot of suitcases into it and still managed to overtake trucks and go through big mountain ranges without hassle. If I was buying here though, I'd probably get the diesel if it's not too agricultural sounding.

    good way to make people believe the cost of electric cars isnt so bad after all.

      In the US, Kia are charging $2k more for hybrid on their new models. Absolute no brainer. Hope they do the same here.

    It’s an $80k Hyundai. It’s hardly going to be a volume seller.

    I see it going two ways:
    it’ll sell ok and Hyundai won’t drop the price much because it’s meeting expectations
    Or it won’t sell well and they’ll discount to get rid of stock.

    It’s a big vehicle that doesn’t have the advantage of big tow capacity so I don’t see it selling well in Aus.

    Looks can be subjective but that is not a pretty car by any measure! Is there a Kia sibling for the Palisade? In the last 10 years IMO Kia styling had been quite great (and pleasing to the eye) compared to their Hyundai counterparts.

    Well found it - Kia Telluride and that is a decent looking car. It is a pity we get the ugly ducking and not this.

  • Bid Sniper on 30/01/2021 - 10:45

    I own a Kia, Stinger is expensive but ex demo its doable at $50K

    but $80K schoolbus just wow

  • DingoBlue on 30/01/2021 - 13:12

    Darkest legal tint factory installed to 2nd, 3rd row & rear window.

    Privacy glass is often actually darker than legal tint. Interestingly rules on factory glass are almost nonexistent compared to those imposed on tint film.

    • Mechz on 30/01/2021 - 14:43

      Also the problem is that the tint is just coloured glass. Aftermarket tint is much better at heat rejection.

      But really, I have 5% on the rear and cops don't care.

      • spackbace on 31/01/2021 - 03:57

        I wouldn't ever call privacy glass "tint"

    Hmm new Kluger due in the coming months, and available in 2.5L AWD hybrid.

    Just sayin

    • TimU on 31/01/2021 - 13:38

      Good to know.
      Would be interested in how the size of the new Kluger compares.

      The Palisade is substantially larger internally than the current Kluger.
      8 seats for a start, but shed-loads more internal luggage space too.

      Edit: Side-by-side comparison video.

    Wow. What an expensive palisade 😷

  • qwijibo on 31/01/2021 - 13:47

    Hyundai has certainly come a long way from the circa $10k Excel back in the early 2000s.

    The lead actor in "Good detective", a korean drama on Netflix drives this car and all thru the series, along with the story, this car is what was fascinating to my eyes.. lovely built and look on the road with the actor driving it … Cant spend that much on it but will buy when it comes to seconds after couple of years …

    Good Lord what a waste of cash. Why are we importing US style mega cars? This boy is massive. Looks like it's made by GM.

      Customer demand. Different people want different things from cars. Who woulda thunk it?

      • Hybroid on 03/02/2021 - 00:42

        I totally get that as I drive a niche car, but who's wanting an $80K 2.2L diesel AWD Hyundai?

        • Euphemistic on 03/02/2021 - 06:07

          That’s my thoughts too. While I am seeing a lot more US pickup trucks, RAM, Tundra, Silverado etc they have a bigger tow and load capacity. The palisade only adds an extra seat. You’d be better off with a people mover.

  • RichardF89 on 14/03/2022 - 19:08

    $79,000 is a very good price with a lot of free Accessories. What did you get finally?

    • TimU on 14/03/2022 - 19:18

      Exactly as described above.

      • RichardF89 on 14/03/2022 - 19:23

        that a great price the driveway price in WA is $85,700 your deal is very attractive

        • TimU on 14/03/2022 - 20:10

          Mine was bought in Feb 2021, before all the supply shortages and desperation we see today.

          Besides all that, you should shop around some of the East Coast dealers for competitive pricing. They will happily truck a car to your door.

          • RichardF89 on 14/03/2022 - 20:12

            @TimU: so the supply shortages is just happened recently? I thought it happened since 2020

          • spackbace on 14/03/2022 - 20:31

            @TimU:

            Besides all that, you should shop around some of the East Coast dealers for competitive pricing.

            Doesn't work with a new car if you don't have an Eastern States address to register it to. That's the main reason for cheaper prices over East, lower stamp duty

          • RichardF89 on 17/03/2022 - 01:23

            @TimU: the best price I got is $64k for a elite petrol which is about $4600 off rrp. how do you get that many free accessories

            • TimU on 17/03/2022 - 01:26

              @RichardF89: Lots of negotiation, and I bought the car over a year ago when they were not so much in demand.
              The prices I paid back then can not be compared to what the market is like now.
