Toronto 2019: Canadian Debut of the 2020 Hyundai Palisade

Today is the traditional media day at the 2019 Toronto Auto Show, and Hyundai used the occasion to put on the Canadian premiere of its new full-size SUV, the 2020 Hyundai Palisade.

The utility model that will take over top spot in the Korean manufacturer’s lineup when it launches this summer can welcome up to eight passengers, all while offering a truly amount of cargo space behind. The Palisade is built on an all-new SUV chassis that allowed Hyundai’s engineers to allocate more room for the second- and third-row passengers.

According to Hyundai, all of the Palisade’s exterior dimensions are larger than those of the Toyota Highlander, to give you an idea.

The appearance
Hyundai wanted to make clear the flagship status the Palisade will inherit vis its styling. The model thus leads with a pretty dominant cascading grille, on each side of which are composite headlights aligned vertically. These headlights as well as the daytime running lights and the turn signals, are available in LED form.

The hood is relatively elongated and the wings and large side panels are designed to give the shape of the model a more muscular look. Behind, the lights are also arrayed vertically and the lines are drawn to highlight the width of the vehicle. All of it rides on available 20-inch alloy wheels.
