The Hyundai PALISADE Diesel, a 7-seater with a 2.2-liter turbocharged engine producing 197 horsepower, is designed for families who frequently travel long distances, emphasizing cabin comfort and long-term reliability. It offers both four-wheel drive (Prestige model) and two-wheel drive (Exclusive model) options.

The Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid is a 6-seater hybrid SUV that stands out for its impressive fuel efficiency of up to 19.6 km/l and versatile usability, suitable for both daily life and leisure. It features a 1.6 Turbo Parallel Hybrid engine delivering 232 horsepower.

Both models come equipped with Hyundai SmartSense, featuring 11 automatic driver-assist systems designed to reduce driver fatigue and ensure safety for the entire family.

Hyundai launches the appealing "Hyundai Pay Less" campaign, offering installment assistance up to 300,000 baht (12,500 baht per month for 24 months) along with a special 0% interest rate* valid from now until 28 February 2026.

Today’s SUVs have evolved from family utility vehicles to expressions of personal taste, identity, and lifestyle. Outstanding SUVs must combine design, technology, and real-world value. Hyundai presents two flagship SUVs with distinct concepts that understand practical use: the Hyundai PALISADE Diesel, a large D-SUV flagship with a bold, powerful look, dubbed the “car chosen by Korean bosses,” projecting a graceful leadership image with premium space and comfort for large families and long-distance travelers; and the Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid, a stylish, modern boxy SUV that stands out uniquely, blending hybrid technology, versatility, and features suited for outdoor lifestyles.

To provide a clearer picture, Hyundai highlights the performance and features that meet the needs of both models. Ultimately, the best car for each person goes beyond just “spec numbers.” Today’s consumer question is not which model is better but which one best reflects their identity and lifestyle.

Hyundai PALISADE – a D-SUV diesel designed for large families and frequent travelers.

The Hyundai PALISADE is a D-SUV with a 2.2-liter turbo diesel engine producing 197 horsepower and a high torque of 440 Newton-meters from low RPMs, ensuring smooth, stable driving and confident overtaking without high revving. Engineering-wise, this torque reduces stress on the engine and transmission, enhancing long-term durability. It suits long-distance travel and continuous use, offering fuel efficiency on highways with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission. Available in Palisade Exclusive 2WD and Palisade Prestige AWD, it meets the needs of large families and those requiring a reliable main vehicle for heavy long-term use.






Second-row passengers relax in luxury Captain Seats, enhanced by a 3-zone automatic climate control system and a 12.3-inch display with an Infinity™ Sound System featuring 12 surround speakers plus a subwoofer and external amplifier, delivering rich, clear sound for maximum passenger comfort.

The Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid combines a 1.6-liter turbo engine with electric motors to deliver a smooth 232 horsepower and continuous 367 Newton-meters torque from low RPMs, offering gentle, confident acceleration and overtaking without high revving. The hybrid system reduces engine load, improves fuel efficiency, and enhances driving quietness. Front-wheel drive (FWD) improves urban maneuverability, while a front independent McPherson Strut and rear Multi-link suspension balance comfort and stability, making it an ideal main family vehicle for modern lifestyles.







The Hyundai all-new SANTA FE Hybrid features a distinct, premium exterior design and a truly versatile interior with electrically adjustable Captain Seats in the second row and spacious trunk space suitable for family trips and daily use. Thoughtful details include 16 bottle holders, a wireless charger, and USB Type-C ports for every seat, complemented by a 12.3-inch infotainment display and comprehensive Hyundai SmartSense safety systems, making the SANTA FE Hybrid not just a travel SUV but a complete living space for the whole family.

Each Hyundai model is developed under the concept of “real consumer use” because a good car is not measured solely by exciting performance figures or technology but by how well it fits users' lives. To ease ownership decisions, Hyundai drives market momentum with the Hyundai Pay Less campaign, offering installment aid up to 300,000 baht or comfortable payments of 12,500 baht monthly for 24 months with a special 0% interest* for bookings and deliveries from 1 to 28 February 2026, helping consumers choose vehicles that match their needs and lifestyles.
