Hyundai's Luxury SUV Evolution
The team are preparing for a major evolution in the Hyundai lineup. Recent reports confirm that Hyundai is repositioning the Palisade for the 2027 model year, transforming it into a high-end luxury SUV to compete with premium global brands.
Here are some of the next-generation updates the driving experience for our customers across the Durham Region.
Hyundai introduces a new design language that moves away from traditional styling. The 2027 model features the "Black Ink" treatment, which replaces standard chrome with sophisticated gloss black accents.

Hyundai is officially retiring the traditional V6 engine. In its place, the manufacturer introduces two new 2.5-liter powertrains designed to balance performance with modern efficiency:

The brand is utilizing higher-grade materials and a new interior layout to align the Palisade with premium-tier competitors.

To ensure a seamless transition to this new luxury standard, Hyundai is adjusting its production schedule. The manufacturer is skipping the 2026 model year in South Korea to jump directly to this 2027 redesign. This shift allows the brand to focus entirely on the new platform, powertrain, and luxury features that define the next generation of the Palisade.
