The Nivomat auto-leveling rear suspension ensures the vehicle remains composed even when fully loaded with gear for a trip to the park. Further enhancing its efficiency is the Idle, Stop & Go (ISG) auto stop-start system, which helps maintain a 29 city / 30 hwy MPG rating. The inclusion of a Heavy-duty transmission oil cooler and Trailer sway control further underscores the engineering depth of this hybrid Sport Utility.

To keep everyone's devices powered, the cabin is outfitted with 7 USB ports and Qi Wireless Charging. The 8 speakers provide high-quality audio, managed via Steering wheel mounted audio controls or the Automatic audio equalizer.

The 7-passenger layout includes Second-row captains' chairs that offer Manual reclining and Fore and aft adjustment for personalized comfort. The Third-row split-bench seat features a 60-40 folding design that can Manual fold into floor, allowing you to expand the cargo area easily. Accessing that space is simple with the Smart Liftgate proximity cargo area access.

Climate comfort is prioritized with Automatic climate control, Dual-zone front climate control, and a Rear climate control system with separate controls. Both the Heated and Ventilated driver and front passenger seats ensure year-round comfort, while the Heated and Ventilated rear seats extend that luxury to your passengers. The driver enjoys an 8-way directional seat with 4-way power lumbar and Memory settings that also cover the door mirrors and audio. Touches like the Heated steering wheel, Manual rear side window sunblinds, and Selectable color ambient lighting create a premium atmosphere for every journey through the Inland Empire.

The Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) includes Pedestrian, Cyclist & Junction-Turning Detection, providing a vigilant eye on the road ahead. For highway driving, the Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go (SCC) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) work together to reduce driver fatigue.

Parking and maneuvering in tight spaces is made easier with the Surround View Monitor (SVM) aerial view camera and the Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM), which displays a live feed of your blind spots in the gauge cluster. The Parking Distance Warning - Forward/Side/Reverse system provides alerts to help you avoid obstacles. Additional layers of protection include Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA), Safe Exit Warning (SEW), and the Advanced Rear Occupant Alert to ensure no one is left behind.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Palisade is finished in a striking Titan Green pearlcoat paint, a color that stands out beautifully in the Southern California sun. The Black grille with chrome accents and Body-colored bumpers with Metal-look inserts provide a modern, sophisticated aesthetic. The vehicle sits on 18 x 8-inch machined aluminum wheels with painted accents, perfectly complementing the Rear lip spoiler and Roof rails.

Visibility is crystal clear thanks to LED low and high beam headlights, LED daytime running lights, and High Beam Assist (HBA). The First-row sliding and tilting glass sunroof allows for fresh air and natural light, while the Deep tinted windows provide privacy and heat rejection. Functional details like the Heated driver and passenger side door mirrors with Integrated turn signals and the Active grille shutters for aerodynamic efficiency demonstrate that this SUV is as smart as it is stylish.
