[ 광고 ] 2025 Palisade Surpasses 6,000 Units Sold! What’s Behind the Unstoppable Surge?

​

Hello, I'm Double View, an automotive influencer.

​

In 2025, the most test-driven and reviewed vehicle was the Palisade,

with its striking facelift design and the introduction of both a 9-passenger and hybrid model.

I was impressed by how well it addressed the needs of customers.

​

My spouse and I are considering purchasing it as our family car for outings with family and for golfing,

so today, I will share the popular features of the all-new Palisade.

​

The all-new Palisade sold 6,661 units in April, marking an increase of 2,041 units from the previous month.

​

The sales surged past 6,000 units, boosted by the hybrid model, and the rollout of the HEV model began in mid-April, raising expectations for May sales.

​

The Palisade trails the Sorento, which holds the top spot, by just 2,135 units,

and with a backlog of contracts for the hybrid model and the full model change effect still in play,

there is talk of a potential reversal in the second quarter.

​

​

In the first quarter, the Sorento sold 26,676 units, with 69.7% of those being the gasoline turbo 1.6 hybrid model.

​

The Palisade has sold over 4,000 units of the gasoline turbo 2.5 model alone,

and the satisfaction with the gasoline turbo 2.5 hybrid engine is high, suggesting it could reach monthly sales of 8,000 units.

​

The Palisade previously offered only 7-passenger and 8-passenger models, but it has now shifted to a 9-passenger lineup.

The 9-passenger model can use the highway bus-only lanes when carrying six or more passengers,

and businesses can enjoy various tax benefits if they purchase it for work purposes.

​

​

Raising the center console in the front row creates space for one additional passenger,

but it feels insufficient for an adult.

​

A child who just graduated from a car seat might fit in the middle seat of the front row, but to accommodate nine passengers, all front-row seats come equipped with airbags to protect occupants in case of an accident.

​

​

In reality, even if it’s labeled as a 9-passenger vehicle, I recommend using it as an 8-passenger model,

and if possible, gather six people to drive in the highway bus-only lane to save travel time.

​

If you're looking for a family car to travel with your parents,

consider choosing the 7-passenger model with independent seats in the second row for added comfort.

​

The all-new Palisade now features the long-awaited Gasoline Turbo 2.5 Hybrid engine.

​

The gasoline turbo 1.6 hybrid engine used in the Santa Fe and Tucson was also applied to the Staria,

but it lacked performance, leaving a feeling of frustration during high-speed driving or on steep terrain.

​

However, Hyundai's next-generation hybrid system, which debuted in the 2025 Palisade, has received praise for its engine performance,

and this has helped maintain interest among customers who pre-ordered the 2025 Palisade hybrid model.

​

Let’s look at the mock estimate based on the Palisade Gasoline Turbo 2.5 Exclusive 2WD model.

​

Vehicle price: 43,830,000 KRW (approximately $32,800 USD)

Acquisition tax: 2,790,000 KRW (approximately $2,100 USD)

Bond discount: 20,000 KRW (approximately $15 USD)

→ Estimated net purchase price: 46,680,000 KRW (approximately $35,000 USD)

​

If you add recommended options like a dual wide sunroof (850,000 KRW, approximately $640 USD) and built-in CAN 2 Plus augmented reality navigation (660,000 KRW, approximately $500 USD),

the estimated net purchase price becomes 47,580,000 KRW (approximately $36,000 USD).

​

Considering that you can purchase a mid-size SUV for around 40,000,000 KRW (approximately $30,000 USD),

it seems likely that sales will remain steady at over 6,000 units per month until the new car effect wears off.

​

​

Let’s examine the key specifications of the 2025 Palisade Gasoline Turbo 2.5 Exclusive 2WD model.

​

Overall length: 5,060 mm (approximately 199 inches) / Width: 1,980 mm (approximately 78 inches) / Height: 1,805 mm (approximately 71 inches) / Wheelbase: 2,970 mm (approximately 117 inches)

Engine: Inline 4-cylinder 2,497 cc

Maximum output: 281 ps / Maximum torque: 43.0 kg·m / Transmission: 7-speed automatic

​

Tire size: 18 inches

Curb weight: 2,020 kg (approximately 4,440 lbs)

​

Combined fuel economy: 9.7 km/L (approximately 22.8 mpg)

City fuel economy: 8.5 km/L (approximately 20.0 mpg)

Highway fuel economy: 11.6 km/L (approximately 27.3 mpg)

​

The all-new Palisade enjoys high popularity as a family car,

and you can choose between the Gasoline Turbo 2.5 and the Gasoline Turbo 2.5 Hybrid engine based on your driving environment.

​

With 18-inch tires, the fuel economy of the 2025 Palisade Gasoline Turbo Hybrid model (14.1 km/L, approximately 33.2 mpg) is 4.4 km/L higher than that of the Gasoline Turbo 2.5 model,

but since the hybrid model is priced 5.85 million KRW (approximately $4,400 USD) higher,

I recommend considering the total driving distance while using the vehicle when making your choice.

​

​

After test-driving the 2025 Palisade Hybrid, I found it not only economical in fuel consumption but also offering ample driving performance, leading to high satisfaction among passengers.

​

Previously, the Palisade was available only in gasoline 3.8 and diesel 2.2 models, which felt limited,

but the all-new Palisade now offers both the highly demanded Gasoline Turbo 2.5 Hybrid and Gasoline Turbo 2.5 models,

making it a more appealing choice.

​

However, keep in mind that the hybrid model has a long wait time due to delays in production until mid-April.

​

​

The all-new Palisade enjoys high popularity not only as a family car but also as a commercial vehicle, but

the price range of 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 KRW (approximately $30,000 to $37,000 USD) can be burdensome.

​

Especially for those planning major expenses like business or housing costs, the initial financial burden can be significant,

and for them, I recommend KS Autoplan’s long-term rentals or leases without a down payment.
