Meet the Craziest SUV From the House of Hyundai

In the April Fools’ day when people were trying to joke around to forget the world’s heartbreaking health crisis, Hyundai N decided to release its fun ideas for its future products instead. The high-performance car sub-brand of Hyundai has revealed the fast-running Hyundai Palisade N that is claimed to be the company’s craziest SUV till the today’s date.

The Hyundai Palisade N adopts the brand’s signature blue body paint scheme along with contrasting black areas and red stripes. The SUV rides on a lower height that lends it a sportier stance that the regular model is.

The radiator grille of the Palisade N is exclusive while the front air dam, alloy wheels, and quad exhaust pipes are unique. The Palisade N also has a more aerodynamic roof spoiler which makes a good mix with the triangular brake light and underbody spoilers altogether.
