The Hyundai Palisade (Korean: 현대 팰리세이드) is a mid-size crossover SUV^[6][2][3][4] manufactured and marketed by Hyundai Motor Company since late 2018, replacing the Maxcruz (also known as Santa Fe XL outside of South Korea) as the flagship SUV under the Hyundai brand.

The term palisade means a fence of defensive stakes or a series of coastal cliffs — the latter recalling the neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles or the nearly forty mile Hudson River palisade, running north from opposite Manhattan.^[7]

The Palisade debuted at the 2018 Los Angeles Auto Show on November 28, 2018,^[8] having been previewed by Hyundai's Grandmaster concept of June 2018.^[9] The Palisade is Hyundai's largest passenger vehicle to date, measuring 4,980 mm (196.1 in) long with a wheelbase of 2,900 mm (114.2 in) inches.^[10] It has 21 cu ft (595 L) of cargo space behind the third row and 87 cu ft (2,464 L) with both rows folded down.^[11] Like its predecessor, the Palisade features three rows of seating, with seating for up to eight passengers when equipped with a second-row bench seat or seven passengers with the optional second-row captain seat.

The vehicle rated a coefficient drag of 0.33, achieved with an optimised front cooling area with extended internal air guide, aerodynamic underside panels with full front and centre underbody covers, and rear wheel aero deflectors.^[12]

Introduction of the right-hand drive model started in December 2020 in Australia and Indonesia.^[13][14] CKD assembly in Russia started in 2020 by Avtotor for domestic sales.^[15]
