The Hyundai Palisade is certainly a large chunk of Korean metal. The new seven or eight-seater Palisade could easily be mistaken for some kind of Yank tank. That’s because it really only exists because American’s are mostly fat and require lounge rooms on wheels. However, over the weekend I discovered the Palisade Highlander is suitably equipped and a rather fine drive. More to come!!!
