Here’s Why Hyundai Should Never Build a Palisade Pickup



Big Presence, Divisive Face

Hyundai has doubled down on bold design lately, and the latest Palisade is the clearest example yet. The new model stands tall, stretches wide, and makes no apologies for its size. Up front, the grille takes over the entire face – some call it a cheese grater – and it sparks strong opinions.

One thing is certain: the Palisade owns the road. It stands out in traffic and looks every bit the flagship SUV. But what if its presence is translated into a pickup truck?

A digital artist, Chafreak, dabbled with the idea and imagined a Palisade with the back end swapped for a classic open bed. It is fun to look at, but it also makes it clear that not every big SUV is meant to be a truck.
