Hyundai has found an unusual way to make the already-large Palisade even roomier: sales of the factory-built High Roof version have started in South Korea. The roofline has been raised by 240 mm, bringing the vehicle’s overall height to 2,005 mm. The automaker notes that the figure was chosen specifically so the SUV still fits into underground parking garages.

The High Roof is aimed more at rear-seat comfort than off-road ability. Standard equipment includes the Preview electronically controlled suspension, 21-inch wheels, “Starry Sky” ambient ceiling lighting, pop-up reading lights and a dedicated 21.4-inch rear-seat entertainment screen. A VIP Package 2 option adds dual wireless charging, an air purifier, UV-C sterilization and heated/cooled cup holders.

Pricing makes the positioning clear. The nine-seat gasoline High Roof costs ₩72.44 million, the seven-seat version ₩75.30 million. The hybrid is priced at ₩78.44–81.59 million. For comparison, the seven-seat gasoline Calligraphy costs ₩58.07 million — meaning the High Roof adds roughly ₩17.23 million to the price.

The Palisade also gained two more conventional new trims. Black Ink is based on the Calligraphy and stands out with black exterior accents, 21-inch wheels and the same Preview suspension. XRT gets 20-inch wheels, second-row seat ventilation, a Bose audio system and a tougher-looking exterior.

The Korean-market XRT shouldn’t be confused with the North American XRT Pro. Hyundai previously detailed all-wheel drive, an electronic locking rear differential, ground clearance increased to 212 mm and off-road tires for that version. The Korean XRT’s spec sheet includes none of those mechanical upgrades — the focus here is on styling and equipment instead.

The standard 2027 Palisade also got richer across the board: even the base Exclusive trim now includes a 12.3-inch instrument cluster, Highway Driving Assist 2, an expanded forward collision-avoidance system and navigation-based adaptive cruise control. Sales of the updated lineup began in South Korea on August 25.
