Hyundai Palisade 2021.

The 2021 Hyundai Palisade becomes the flagship model of the Korean company, along the way occupying the niche of the Grand Santa Fe SUV going down in history.

But this is not just a replacement for the «classmate», since the new model is much larger: the body length has added 65 mm. (4980 mm.), Width — 90 mm. (1975 mm.), Height — 65 mm. (1750 mm.), And the wheelbase is 100 mm. (2900 mm.)

Review of the new SUV

In the summer of 2019, when, 6 months after the premiere of the flagship of the South Korean automaker’s Hyundai Palisade 2021 crossover model line, it began to be sold in the United States, an approximate date for the appearance of this SUV in Russia was also announced.

The cars, which were supposed to be assembled at the Avtotor plant (Kaliningrad), were initially planned to start selling in the spring of this year, then in the summer, and now dealers say that the new product is guaranteed to appear in showrooms no later than winter.

The reason for this delay is valid: there is too much demand for crossovers at home and the company’s natural desire to satisfy the needs of its market, and only after that it will start exporting.

Body

The exterior of the new Hyundai Palisad 2021 SUV contains the well-known corporate features of the Korean brand cars, which appeared on all low-class SUVs in a year and a half of the model’s production.

This is a vertically oriented rear optics, and a two-story front, and a large radiator grille with a bright frame and an original «pattern» of filling.

At the stern, attention is drawn to the glazing, which makes the roof soaring, while the general forms of the crossover remain classic, that is, designed to amaze only with their monumentality.

Salon

The interior of the Hyundai Palisade 2021 SUV can be seven- or eight-seater, with three seats provided on the third row of seats, and either a sofa is placed on the second row, or two captain’s chairs appear.

The design of the front panel of the crossover is quite original and is distinguished by a large central display, visually located in the same block with the dashboard.

The central tunnel is unusually wide and rises sharply at the point of contact with the torpedo, while the climate control panel is represented by a narrow strip of buttons located under the two central air ducts.

Technical stuffing: motors, transmission and chassis

The Hyundai Santa Fe trolley presented the new large-size SUV with a front-wheel drive chassis with multi-link rear suspension on springs and hydraulic shock absorbers.

This platform does not provide for pneumatic elements, but for a surcharge, an electronically controlled multi-plate HTRAC all-wheel drive clutch may appear on the car. The «gearbox» in both cases is the same — 8-speed automatic, but there are two engines to choose from:

• gasoline «six» GDI with a volume of 3.8 liters (295 hp, 355 Nm);

• diesel «turbo four» e-VGT with a volume of 2.2 liters (202 hp, 440 Nm).

The entry-level Hyundai Palisade 2021 is equipped with 9 airbags, 18-inch wheels, LED optics, three-zone climate control, heating and ventilation of the first two rows of seats.

SUVs at «maximum speed» will be additionally equipped with an adaptive «cruise», 20-inch disks, digital «tidy», leather interior and many others. dr.

Sales start in Russia

The coronavirus, which intervened in the plans of most global automakers, complicates the situation with the supply of car sets for the new Palisade 2021 to the Kaliningrad Avtotor, but so far the Koreans have not officially changed their plans for the autumn debut of the SUV on the Russian market.

At the same time, given that the dates have already been postponed twice, and that the second wave of the epidemic is sweeping across the planet, the appearance of the model may be delayed again.
