    Each trim grade is available with a choice of a 3.8-litre GDi petrol V6 with two-wheel drive or a 2.2-litre CRDi turbo-diesel with revised HTRAC all-wheel drive, both teamed with an also revised eight-speed automatic transmission.

    In addition, Palisade can be optioned with either a 7-seat or 8-seat layout, the former offering two individual captain-type chairs in the middle row (no cost option).

    The freshly updated flagship brings strong premium appeal across both grades underlined by striking new 20-inch alloy wheel designs, with exclusive design elements setting the range-topping Highlander apart.
