The engine

Lambda

3.8L Naturally Aspirated V6

A creamy, naturally aspirated V6 that delivers its power in a smooth, linear surge with no turbo lag, giving big three-row SUVs an effortless, unstressed character.

From Hyundai-Kia's long-running Lambda V6 family; this Atkinson-cycle Lambda II version traces its lineage to engines used for years in the Hyundai Genesis sedan and Genesis Coupe before powering the US-assembled Telluride and its Palisade sibling.
