现代计划推出一款大型，造型粗犷的全尺寸SUV，这款车将丰田兰德酷路泽设定为直接竞争车型。该车定位甚至高于现代即将发布的八座车型Palisade。由于这款要在几年后才会推出，因此现在讨论其动力系统细节仍为时过早。该车主要面向对大型SUV有需求的澳大利亚、中东和美国市场。据澳洲网站报道，该车长度将超过5米，大于4.95米长的兰德酷路泽。目前还不清楚，该车是否采用加长版Palisade单体结构或采用非承载车身结构。至于动力系统，目前还不清楚。不过，现代可以选择的动力系统很多。或许会采用起亚Stinger的365马力3.3升V6双涡轮增压引擎，或Genesis G90的5.0升V8引擎。另外在某些市场，还会提供柴油引擎。

 

Hyundai Fullsize Rugged SUV Rumored To Fight Toyota Land Cruiser

Hyundai allegedly plans to build a big, rugged SUV that would go toe-to-toe with the venerable Toyota Land Cruiser. This model would sit above even the upcoming eight-passenger Palisade.

 

This model is still several years away, so there aren't many details about the machine yet. Hyundai would tailor the rig to appeal to markets where these large utility vehicles sell well like Australia, the Middle East, and presumably the United States. According to Australian website Car Sales, the big SUV would measure over 197 inches (5 meters) long, which would make it longer than the 195-inch (4.95-meter) Land Cruiser. It's not yet clear whether the underpinnings would come from a stretched version of the Palisade's monocoque or from a body-on-frame setup.

 

Powertrain choices are also a mystery. Given the model's size, Hyundai would need to pick a fairly potent powerplant to haul it around. Possible choices are the 365-hp, 3.3-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Kia Stinger or 5.0-liter V8 from the Genesis G90. A diesel option might be available in some markets, according to Car Sales.
