Hyundai has left the Palisade SUV unchanged for the 2025 model year, but the top-tier variant will be slightly more expensive.
The flagship Calligraphy Black Ink model is now up to $1731 more expensive before on-road costs, while the range still starts at $66,800 plus on-road costs.
Specifications for 2025 do not change, though the Burgundy Sierra exterior paint option will be discontinued in August.
All Australian-spec Hyundai Palisade models continue to offer a choice between a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated V6 petrol engine and a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine.
The V6 is available exclusively with front-wheel drive, while the turbo-diesel comes only with all-wheel drive.
A new generation of Hyundai's largest SUV, codenamed LX3 and expected to feature hybrid power, was initially scheduled to begin production in January 2025.
