The Kia Stinger was the car that nobody saw coming. Japanese and German brands alike never expected the Korean brand, better known for creating stylish value-for-money runabouts, to hit the market with a grand tourer. And the Stinger didn't just stun drivers. It also impressed them no end with its quality, handling and playfulness - it is the only rear-wheel-drive.
Interior and features
Hyundai have placed special attention to ensuring good Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) insulation in the cabin, with additional reinforcing of the Palisade s body for better rigidity, and added sound dampening for a quiet cabin.
The interior is both premium and practical, with plenty of storage spaces throughout all three rows.
Seven USB outlets are available, including front-seatback-based USB outlets for the second row occupants and mini-pockets for digital devices of all kinds. The Palisade also comes with a whopping 16 cupholders.
The Palisade also features the first-ever 10.25 inch touchscreen audio and infotainment widescreen display to be used on a Hyundai vehicle in Singapore.
