It’s barely been a month since Hyundai Motor Philippines’ last launch event, yet it’s already back with another new model. After the release of the Kona Hybrid in June (and the base-variant Santa Fe last week), the Korean carmaker has now unveiled the all-new Palisade.
Yes, folks, the full-size SUV is back and very much alive and kicking in our market, and it gets an entirely new look and a brand-spanking-new powertrain for 2025.
The next-generation Palisade boasts sleek, boxy styling, with a wide, almost Genesis-like grille up front. This is flanked by the headlights and the distinct vertical DRLs, with the latter featuring a horizontal pattern. At the back, the taillights match the light signature up front, while the side profile is accentuated by the contrasting silver trim on the C-pillar that appears to divide the vehicle’s silhouette.

What are the specs of the Hyundai Palisade 2025?
Initially, we speculated that the Palisade would get a V6 option, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now. HMPH has launched the SUV with only one configuration available, and that’s the hybrid system comprised of a 2.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine paired with an electric motor. This produces a total of 329hp and 422Nm of torque is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
On the inside, it’s as luxurious as luxurious Hyundais get. It’s a more premium offering than the Santa Fe, after all. Heaps of leather adorn the cabin, from the dash to the side panels and the seats. Unsurprisingly, there’s also an abundance of space and storage compartments. It also gets relaxation seats for added comfort.
It also comes equipped with a myriad of tech, with a pair of large screens on the dash. It has a Bose premium sound system, as well as the full Hyundai SmartSense suite of ADAS.
How much is the Hyundai Palisade 2025?
The all-new Palisade stickers for P3.98 million, making it just a smidge under P900,000 more expensive than the top-of-the-line Santa Fe. Four colors are available for Hyundai’s newest SUV. What do you think? Do you like Hyundai’s newest offering?
