Hyundai Palisade costs रु 15,00,000 less ex-showroom.

Very high‑end diesel AWD SUV with near‑full feature list, but pricing firmly in luxury territory. Best suited to buyers prioritising comfort, safety tech, and brand reliability over outright value and running costs.

Strong 2.2‑litre diesel with AWD and multi‑terrain modes for Nepali roads.

Extremely generous cabin space with 8‑seat flexibility and multiple cargo layouts.

Rich comfort kit: ventilated front seats, three‑zone AC, dual sunroof, IMS.

Comprehensive safety and ADAS‑style features including BVM, RCCA, SVM, and 6 airbags.

Premium interior and exterior feel with Infinity audio and noise‑reducing glass.

Cons

Very expensive versus ladder‑frame rivals like Fortuner and other large SUVs.

Diesel‑only powertrain; no hybrid or petrol option for low‑usage urban owners.

Fuel economy and maintenance costs likely high for average Nepali household.
