2026 Hyundai Palisade Overview
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade enters its second generation with slightly larger dimensions. This includes a longer wheelbase and bigger exterior measurements compared to the previous model. The SUV measures 199.4 inches in length, 78.0 inches in width, and 69.5 inches in height, with a wheelbase of 116.9 inches. Features of the new design include blockier styling with bold lighting elements to align with the electric Ioniq 9 SUV aesthetic. The vehicle rides on the same platform as the Kia Telluride, continuing a successful partnership that has made both SUVs standout choices in the competitive midsize crossover segment.
New For The 2026 Palisade
The second-generation Palisade brings several significant updates. The biggest news is the long-awaited addition of a hybrid drivetrain option. A rugged-looking XRT Pro model rides on a raised suspension and offers terrain-specific driving modes. Whereas the luxury-oriented Calligraphy trim continues to offer a class-above interior experience. The XRT Pro now includes all-terrain tires sized 255/60R18, new terrain modes for mud, sand, and snow, and real-time pitch, roll, compass, AND elevation displays. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro also includes exposed Canyon Red-painted recovery hooks front and rear and a factory-installed tow hitch that hides behind a removable panel in the rear bumper. Lastly, the interior of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade has been completely revamped!! It now struts with contemporary styling and premium materials throughout the cabin.
2026 Hyundai Palisade Performance
The standard powertrain features a new naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6 shared with the Kia Carnival minivan. This engine produces 287 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm. The 3.5-liter's output trails the old engine by a speck—down 4 horsepower and 2 pound-feet compared to the previous 3.8-liter V6. Power is routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The standard tow rating remains unchanged at 5,000 pounds. For those seeking more power, the hybrid powertrain combines a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors and a six-speed automatic transmission, producing 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid's maximum towing capacity is 4,000 pounds, and all-wheel drive comes standard across the hybrid lineup.
2026 Palisade MPG
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade with the V6 engine offers up to 19 mpg in city driving and 25 mpg on the highway. In real-world testing, the 2026 Palisade achieved an observed fuel economy of 19 mpg combined and 25 mpg during 75-mph highway driving. The hybrid model promises significantly better efficiency, getting more than 30 mpg on the highway and traveling roughly 620 miles on a single tank.
2026 Palisade Top Speed
While top speed is rarely a consideration for three-row family SUVs, the performance numbers of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade reflect its focus on comfort and practicality over outright speed. In testing, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD achieved 0-60 mph in 8.0 seconds and completed the quarter-mile in 16.1 seconds at 89 mph.
2026 Hyundai Palisade Interior
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade cabin represents a significant upgrade in materials and design. The revamped interior wears a contemporary appearance with posh materials throughout. Passenger volume is divided as follows: 63 cubic feet in the front row, 60 cubic feet in the middle row, and 37 cubic feet in the rear. Cargo volume measures 87 cubic feet behind the front row, 46 cubic feet behind the middle row, and 19 cubic feet behind the third row. The top-spec Calligraphy trim features a massaging driver's seat with an extendable thigh rest, winged second-row headrests, a synthetic suede headliner, and remote parking function. The midtier SEL Premium offers ventilated second-row seats and both blind-spot and surround-view parking cameras. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade includes laminated glass in the front row of every trim for improved noise, vibration, and harshness characteristics, plus a pair of 100-watt USB-C power plugs in all three rows of seating. These features are all tough to find on rival SUVs.
