Like its platform-mate, the Kia Telluride, the Hyundai Palisade is going under the knife, with the results planned for show at the 2022 New York Auto Show on Wednesday.

Come a few minutes to 10, Eastern time, the next Palisade will be seen completely uncovered. Hyundai is previewing a few changes: A wider grille, a new front-lighting look that includes vertical LED headlights, new alloy wheels, and….actually that’s it. For now.

Yeah, I know. Most auto journos hate teasers as much as you do — or rather, I, for one, wish I had more to share with you. But I don’t, since Hyundai is playing this close to the vest, as OEMs almost always do, and no little birds have been yapping to us off the record.

So, like with the Telluride (and Kia Niro), we’ll know the specifics at the same time you do.

Until then, I think it’s safe to say Hyundai wants to keep the premium-lux appearance of the Palisade, which has a more-urban aesthetic than the boxy/rugged Telluride. That certainly seems to be the case based on the teaser shot of the new headlights and wider grille.

All shall be revealed in just two days.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

      @FreedMike Mine needed a new motor at 48k. Different strokes for different folks but I am firmly in the "they are $#!+" Camp.

    The people that paid a ridiculous ADM, for these, or most cars for that matter, will be in for a shock when things settle out. Cars that drive well and are somewhat reliable will have less buyers remorse. I get it, some people need a car now will make sacrifices to make that happen, but some are not aware what it will cost them in the end. My wife wanted a CRV, I bought her one. She loves it, I hate it. As long as the car does what the drivers want it to do, it’s a good purchase for them.

      I feel sorry for the folks who are stuck buying cars now.

  • FreedMike Off topic, but folks, this site is not working well for me from a technical standpoint, and it doesn't matter if I'm using my phone, or my computer (on two different browsers). It locks up and makes it impossible to type anything in after a certain point. Anyone else having these issues?
  • Syke Kinda liked the '57, hated the '58. Then again, I hated the entire '58 GM line except for the Chevrolet. Which I liked better than the '57's. Still remember dad's '58 Impala hardtop, in the silver blue that was used as the main advertising color.
  • Dartdude The bottom line is that in the new America coming the elites don't want you and me to own cars. They are going to make building cars so expensive that the will only be for the very rich and connected. You will eat bugs and ride the bus and live in a 500sq-ft. apartment and like it. HUD wants to quit giving federal for any development for single family homes and don't be surprised that FHA aren't going to give loans for single family homes in the very near future.
  • Ravenuer The rear view of the Eldo coupe makes it look fat!
  • FreedMike This is before Cadillac styling went full scale nutty...and not particularly attractive, in my opinion.
