The exterior design elements includes vertical rectangular LED headlights with LED DRLs, and a thin LED light strip across the upper section of grille, silver-finished D-pillar trim piece on the side, the rear fascia features a minimalistic design, the vertical taillights resembles the headlights, the rear wiper is hidden underneath the roof spoiler, and a faux skidplate on the lower part of the rear bumper with the exhaust pipes tucked away. The Palisade has a longer wheelbase compared to its predecessor, with a shorter front overhang and stretched rear overhang.

Inside, the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment and instrument cluster screens are housed within the wraparound design of the upper dashboard. The lower part of the dashboard features the air-con vents and the physical switches. The centre console is disconnected from the dashboard, providing additional storage space below and features a wireless charger, 100W USB charging outlet and storage cubby. The gear selector used for the automatic transmission is relocated from the centre console to the steering wheel column.

In the pre-orders month, approximately 45,000 orders were made, with 70% accounted for the hybrid model and 40% accounted for the 9-seater configuration model.{{Cite web |date=2025-01-15 |title=Hyundai's new Palisade packed with firsts with hybrid engine, nine-seat option |url=https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/2025-01-15/business/industry/Hyundais-new-Palisade-packed-with-firsts-with-hybrid-engine-nineseat-option/2222142 |access-date=2025-02-10 |website=Korea JoongAng Daily |language=en}}
