“60lakh? damn! definitely a steal considering fortuner comes in this same bracket”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“DO YOUR RESEARCH!! This car has a major recall. Every single model sold has been recalled for a shattering sunroof. These cars are extremely unreliable.”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“Ask any mechanic that works on all makes and models what car they'd never own, 5/10 will say Kia/Hyundai. There's a reason for that. The cars are garbage and these will likely be no different”

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“The Palisade feels like a moving lounge, though the price tag in Nepal puts it in a very exclusive bracket.”

Price, service, resale and roads — here

  • Ground clearance of 203mm is sufficient for major highways but demands care on monsoon-damaged roads
  • Positioned as a luxury status symbol, often compared to the Toyota Fortuner in the Nepali market
  • Laxmi Hyundai provides nationwide service, though advanced components may require ordering from abroad
  • The Hyundai Palisade is on sale in Nepal in two variants at an ex-showroom price of approximately Rs 235 lakh to Rs 235.96 lakh.
  • Nepal listings describe the locally sold model as a 2,199 cc diesel SUV with an eight-speed automatic transmission and HTRAC all-wheel drive.
  • A Nepal-focused review notes that the Nepal-specification Palisade uses a four-cylinder engine rather than the larger engines offered in some overseas markets.
  • The vehicle’s size, premium positioning and low discussion volume mean service access, replacement-part availability and resale should be confirmed with the Hyundai network before purchase.
