The new 2026 Hyundai PALISADE is a palace for your family with three spacious rows of seating, exceptional cargo capacity, and an assortment of high-end innovations. Explore this refined, yet affordable, family-oriented SUV to see why it’s ideal for your family.
The PALISADE can be equipped with a front-wheel or an available all-wheel driveline. For the front-wheel drive models, drivers can expect a gas mileage of 19 MPG in urban areas and 25 MPG on the freeway. The all-wheel drivetrain has an estimated efficiency of 18 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway. A large 19-gallon fuel tank means you can travel about 475 highway miles with a front-wheel drivetrain.
The PALISADE has a 3.5-liter, six-cylinder engine that produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission is paired with shift-by-wire paddle shifters for effortless gear switching. The selectable drive modes for the front-wheel drive model are Sport, My Drive, and Eco, while the AWD models have Mud, Snow, and Sand driving modes.
Exterior
This large SUV has 18-inch alloy wheels, which are strong enough for off-road and heavy-duty performance but still lightweight enough to improve the overall efficiency of the vehicle. LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, and high beam assist are standard. Passengers will appreciate the door handle welcome lights that make it easy to find door handles at night.
Upper trims have a standard hands-free smart liftgate that quickly and automatically opens the rear liftgate when you linger near the back bumper with the proximity key fob. The smart liftgate has programmable height adjustment so you can set the cargo hatch to stop opening midway to prevent damage on low ceilings.
Interior
The base PALISADE is an eight-passenger model, while upper trims like the SEL Premium can seat seven. The PALISADE has a second-row sliding seat to give riders easier access to the third row. The second-row seats can also fold with a 60/40 split on eight-passenger models. The third-row seats are also split-folding to customize cargo space as needed.
Key cabin features include a 12.3-inch multimedia system with onboard navigation for turn-by-turn directions. The infotainment system can sync with two smartphones, mirror apps from Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and respond to dynamic voice commands for hands-free control over audio settings. An in-car telecom system allows front-row riders to communicate with the rear rows without yelling.
SmartSense
This model also comes with driver-assistance technology like blind spot collision warning, lane-following assistance, and forward collision avoidance assistance. A forward attention warning system prompts the driver to pay attention to the road ahead.
