For now, Hyundai has no plans to launch the SUV in the Indian market

One of the most interesting safety features is the addition of Hyundai’s Rear Occupant Alert system. This system observes the rear passenger seats by using ultrasonics and let the driver know about any suspicious activity from the passenger. The main aim of this system is to prevent infants and pets from being left in the car. Mechanically, the Hyundai Palisade derives power from a 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated V6 GDi petrol unit that produces 291bhp of peak power and 355 Nm of peak torque. The engine comes coupled to an 8-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Neither Hyundai nor Kia has plans to launch the Palisade or Telluride into the Indian market in the near future.
