Hyundai has officially confirmed the launch of its well known SUV, Palisade, in Pakistan to give a high competition to rival companies.

Pakistan will be the first country outside South Korea, the manufacturer’s home market, to locally assemble the Hyundai Palisade, with advanced feature, giving a smooth driving experience. 

However, the company has yet to reveal official launch date, pricing, and variant lineup, while Hyundai has confirmed the booking for Palisade as set for March, while deliveries are likely to begin later this year. 

The Hyundai Palisade comes as a mid-range SUV with unibody chassis and is categorised as a three-row family SUV, seating either eight or seven people, depending on the middle-row configuration:

  1. Eight-seater if the middle row uses standard seats
  2. Seven-seater if the middle row uses captain’s chairs ( two individual seats)
