What’s New for 2026?
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is fully redesigned with a slightly larger body and a new, boxier style that resembles the Ioniq 9. The interior is also updated with premium materials. This new generation includes a rugged XRT Pro model and a luxurious Calligraphy trim.
Engine and Transmission
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade comes standard with a 3.5 liter V6 engine that generates 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission, and front- or all-wheel drive. A 329-horsepower hybrid version with 339 lb-ft of torque is also offered. The new Palisade’s ride is smooth and composed, while acceleration is modest, with the base setup hitting to 60 mph in about 6.6 seconds. The rugged XRT Pro trim adds terrain modes and extra ground clearance. Towing capacity reaches 5000 pounds, with select trims featuring a hidden integrated hitch.
