Choose the Hyundai Palisade if
You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

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.

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.
Only one fully‑loaded trim effectively; limited choice for buyers wanting cheaper, simpler variant.

Prohibitively high price due to import taxes
Lacks modern tech features like 360-degree camera
