The second generation Palisade was unveiled on 6 December 2024. Pre-orders began on 20 December 2024, and deliveries in South Korea commenced in January 2025. The Palisade has a boxy shape for the exterior design.

The Palisade has a longer wheelbase compared to its predecessor, with a shorter front overhang and stretched rear overhang. Inside, the 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment and instrument cluster screens are housed within the wraparound design of the upper dashboard. The lower part of the dashboard features the air-con vents and the physical switches.
