2026 Hyundai Palisade Model Review - Phoenix, AZ

What's New for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade?

The 2026 Palisade receives one of its most comprehensive updates: a refreshed, more purposeful exterior, a more refined and spacious cabin, upgraded materials and sound insulation, and a modernized dash layout incorporating twin 12.3-inch displays and updated infotainment. The result is a roomier, quieter three-row SUV that leans into comfort and tech for families.

What Are the 2026 Palisade Trims & Features?

The regular (V-6) Palisade is offered in the following trims: SE, SEL, SEL Convenience, SEL Premium, Limited, XRT Pro, and Calligraphy. Each step up adds creature comforts, technology, and premium materials - for example, SEL trims bring upgraded seating and convenience features, SEL Premium adds heated seats and extra charging/power options, Limited introduces a dual-pane sunroof and enhanced audio/lighting, and Calligraphy tops the range with premium leather and distinctive interior and exterior treatments. The XRT Pro is the model's more rugged trim with off-road-oriented hardware and visual treatments.

How Much Horsepower Does the 2026 Palisade Have?

The regular Palisade is powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V6, producing 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. That engine is paired to an 8-speed automatic transmission; front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available, depending on trim.

What Safety Features Does the 2026 Palisade Include?

Every Palisade comes with Hyundai SmartSense. That includes automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning with automatic intervention, rear cross-traffic alert, lane-keeping and lane-following help, and safe-exit assist. Parking sensors are standard or commonly available, and full highway lane-centering (HDA2) is offered on higher trims.
