Variant

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is a fully redesigned three-row midsize SUV that delivers a near-luxury cabin experience at a mainstream price, available across seven trim levels — SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, SEL Premium, XRT Pro, Limited, and Calligraphy — with two powertrain choices: the naturally aspirated 3.5L V6 (287 hp, 260 lb-ft) paired with an 8-speed automatic, or the turbocharged 2.5L hybrid system (329 hp combined, 339 lb-ft) available from the SEL trim upward and delivering up to 619 miles of driving range. Every Palisade comes standard with Hyundai SmartSense safety including forward collision avoidance, lane keeping assist, smart cruise control, and 10 airbags, plus tri-zone automatic climate control and a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. The off-road-ready XRT Pro adds standard AWD, a rear electronic limited-slip differential, all-terrain tires, and extra ground clearance, while the Limited steps up with heated and ventilated front seats, a surround-view camera, remote smart parking assist, and front and rear dash cams, and the flagship Calligraphy tops the range with 21-inch wheels, a head-up display, a full-display rearview mirror, and an available 14-speaker Bose premium audio system — all backed by Hyundai's class-leading 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
