Among the specifications of the model are a calligraphic trim with advanced technology, relaxation seats for both front and second-row passengers, a digital centre mirror with electrochromic glare-reduction, and a tilt camera for real-time rear visibility.

Speaking at the launch, the Country Manager, Mr Ganesh Y. Phadale, described the new model as a “symbol of innovation, reliability and progress,” reflecting Hyundai’s long-standing vision to make modern mobility accessible to all.

He added that the Palisade 2026 represented a blend of advanced engineering, safety, and comfort, while upholding the brand’s prom­ise of value for money.

Mr Phadale explained that the launch was not only about unveil­ing a new vehicle, but also about cementing Hyundai’s role as a long-term partner in the growth of Ghana’s automobile industry.

He reaffirmed the company’s dedication to customers, stressing that innovation, affordability, and efficient after-sales service remain at the core of Hyundai’s opera­tions.

Mr Phadale revealed that all seven Hyundai models, including the new Palisade, are now being assembled locally at the company’s state-of-the-art plant in Tema.

He commended management, staff and loyal customers for their support, assuring that Hyundai would continue to set new bench­marks in mobility solutions.
