Over-the-Air (OTA) updates keep vehicle systems current, while features like Wi-Fi hotspot capability and Alexa Built-in bring smart home convenience directly into the Palisade. Safety and visibility get an upgrade with the built-in dual-camera Dash Cam, a UV-C sterilization compartment for personal items, and a digital rearview mirror for unobstructed sightlines.
