Hyundai has confirmed the upcoming launch of the Palisade in Pakistan.

The notable aspect of this development is not merely the introduction of the vehicle, but the fact that Pakistan will be the first country outside South Korea, the manufacturer's home market, to locally assemble the current-generation Palisade.

This development serves as a positive indicator for the local automotive market, suggesting a shift whereby the Pakistani market is receiving newer global models concurrently with, or even ahead of, other regions.

A similar trend was observed with the Haval H6 PHEV facelift, which was launched in April last year.

Pakistan was the first country after Australia to receive the facelifted model, introducing it before several other Asian markets, including Indonesia and Thailand.
