Hyundai's 2026 Palisade model showcases a refined, opulent advancement with singular understatement.
Redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade Offers More Comfort, Technology, and Value
The much-anticipated 2026 Hyundai Palisade is set to arrive in September 2022, promising a more refined driving experience with a redesigned 3-row CUV.
The new Palisade boasts a more sweeping silhouette, making it 2.5 inches longer overall than its predecessor. The base price for the 2026 model starts at $41,200 for the SE front-wheel-drive model, with the all-wheel-drive Calligraphy trim costing around $60,000[1].
Under the hood, the 2026 Palisade features a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, slightly reduced from the prior 3.8-liter engine. However, a powerful hybrid option is available, combining a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors to deliver 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque[2].
All trims come equipped with standard driving aids such as forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot warning, front and rear parking sensors, and a new safe-exit warning system with visual indicators on the rear doors[1]. Other features include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a dual-pane sunroof, configurable ambient lighting, a surround-view monitor, and two USB-C charging ports in every row[1].
The interior of the 2026 Palisade features a new curved panoramic display and touch-capacitive controls. Higher trims, such as the Calligraphy model, offer luxury touches like Nappa leather seats, a 14-speaker Bose audio system, a 12-inch head-up display, and integrated dash cams[3].
Acoustic glass extends to the second row in the 2026 Palisade for a quieter ride, while the wireless phone charger accommodates larger phones compared to the 2025 model. The interior also boasts plentiful USB-C ports easily accessible in all three rows[1].
The 2026 Palisade's hybrid variant is expected to be more fuel-efficient than the standard V6, aligning with hybrid competitors like the Toyota Highlander hybrid[2]. Hyundai's latest tech, including Digital Key 2, remote smart parking assist, and over-the-air software updates, comes standard on most trims of the 2026 Palisade[1].
The fully equipped Calligraphy grade of the 2026 Palisade with all-wheel drive costs just under $55,000[1]. The vehicle is assembled at Hyundai's Ulsan, South Korea, plant.
With its emphasis on value, comfort, and technology, the 2026 Palisade offers a range of trims from well-equipped to fully luxurious, plus the availability of a powerful hybrid for enhanced fuel economy and performance[1][3]. The Palisade's sales in the U.S. have already shown a 6.8% increase in the first half of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024[4].
