Hyundai is taking the full-size-utility route:
The Korea-based automaker rarely makes a product misstep, but the full-size body-on-frame Borrego utility vehicle that was introduced for the 2008 model year — and was gone one year later — certainly qualifies. The Sleuthy One’s sources, however, are now hearing that Hyundai is planning another assault on the category dominated by vehicles such as the Chevrolet Tahoe, Nissan Armada and Toyota Sequoia. The new model, which will be based on the Grandmaster concept that was showcased earlier this year, is expected to be named Palisade. The new tall wagon will be constructed using the same unitized (frameless) platform that’s planned for Hyundai’s upcoming midsize pickup. Expect the Palisade to be revealed in 2019 as a 2020 model.
