Smart is the lower-priced eight-seat choice. Calligraphy costs PKR 1.45m more and has seven seats with additional cabin features. Both are listed as 2.5 Turbo Hybrid AWD. Choose using the passengers you actually carry, then obtain a complete written quotation; the published amount is not an on-road total.
Palisade Hybrid price in Pakistan: the verified two-grade range
On 16 October 2026, Hyundai Nishat’s linked Pakistan price sheet lists Smart at PKR 22,625,000 and Calligraphy at PKR 24,075,000. These are published official figures, not estimated import prices. The document has no printed effective date; its September upload path does not establish the day a price changed.
CarRates previously displayed PKR 20.999m for Calligraphy. That figure is retained only as a superseded catalogue reference. It is not the current quotation and must not be compared with today’s Smart price as though both applied together.
| Grade | Published price | Seats | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Smart AWD | PKR 22,625,000 | 8 | 20-inch |
| Calligraphy AWD | PKR 24,075,000 | 7 | 21-inch |
The PKR 1.45m decision starts with seating
Calligraphy adds Nappa upholstery, relaxation seats and welcome/escort lighting in the sheet. The shared list includes six-speed automatic transmission, dual sunroof, Bose audio, Smart Cruise Control and heated/ventilated seats. These descriptions do not establish that every seat has every function.
An eight-seat arrangement can be useful for occasional extra passengers, while seven seats may suit buyers who prefer individual second-row seating. Neither number proves that your child seats, adults and luggage will fit comfortably together. Visit with the child seats and typical bags, adjust the front seats for the usual drivers and try third-row access before ordering.
A larger wheel is not automatically a better everyday choice. Ask for the supplied tyre specification and replacement quotation for each grade, and test ride comfort on roads similar to your routine. We have not independently measured cabin space, ride comfort or real-world fuel consumption.
Read the price exclusions before comparing car rates
The price sheet includes FED and applicable sales tax, but freight and insurance are charged separately at actual cost; other applicable taxes and charges are additional. It also treats prices as provisional, with the invoice determining the final amount.
Request a quotation with the exact grade, seating, colour, freight, tax treatment, registration, insurance and any optional accessories separated. Ask how a price change before invoicing affects your order and what the cancellation conditions are. Do not compare an on-road quote from one dealer with a base price from another.
The published starting price belongs to Smart, not Calligraphy. This distinction matters when a brand homepage shows only one Palisade amount. Our catalogue now preserves the separate grade prices instead of assigning that starting amount to the higher variant.
Equipment claims: one source conflict to settle in the showroom
The variant price sheet describes three-zone climate control, whereas Hyundai’s interior showcase uses the words dual zone. That is an unresolved inconsistency between official pages—not evidence that the two grades necessarily use different systems. Ask the dealer to demonstrate the actual controls and record the delivered specification.
The interior gallery is useful for identifying the design, but a showcase photograph cannot prove Smart has every Calligraphy feature. The newly added official cabin images show a seven-seat layout and a right-hand-drive cockpit. Match upholstery, seating and controls to your order rather than treating photographs as the contract.
Warranty and ownership checks before a deposit
The sheet advertises a four-year/100,000 km vehicle warranty and an eight-year/160,000 km battery warranty. Obtain the Pakistan warranty booklet to confirm time/mileage limits, coverage, exclusions and servicing requirements for the exact car.
Ask the authorised workshop for the service schedule and a written routine-service estimate. Also check the parking space, turning access and third-row loading arrangement. We are not publishing an unverified fuel-average claim, guaranteed delivery date or unsupported power figure.
The practical verdict is straightforward: shortlist Smart when eight seats and the lower purchase price matter most; shortlist Calligraphy when its seven-seat arrangement and additional cabin equipment justify the extra PKR 1.45m to you. Confirm availability and the full invoice before paying.
