The new Palisade Calligraphy features a slew of design modifications which make it look more up class. It now gets a radiator grille featuring triangular inserts, an updated full-width chrome skid plate, and a remastered lower air intake grille. Its rear skid plate comes in ribbed pattern. All of these design details are exclusive and aimed at giving the 'Calligraphy' a more luxury oriented and classier looks. For the very same reason, it doesn't feature black body cladding as seen on the the lower-end Exclusive and Prestige variants.
The customers can opt for Rain Forest exterior paint scheme on the Calligraphy, while for the interiors there are three exclusive colours - Black, Khaki and Beige. Some other key interior highlights include Quilted Nappa leather upholstery, 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster, head-up display and more. It is only available as a 7-seater.
In terms of mechanicals, it runs on two engine options - a 202 PS 2.2-litre eVGT diesel and a 295 PS 3.8-litre GDi petrol. It is available with a standard 8-speed automatic gearbox which transmits power to all wheels.
