Learn what to expect by reading this guide to the 2026 Hyundai Palisade SUV, then come get an up-close look at Jim Ellis Hyundai.
The 2026 Palisade doesn't involve a total departure from what you're familiar with but instead introduces a fully enhanced version of this bold SUV.
This redesign takes the overall form of the Palisade and makes it sleeker. Distinctive vertical LED daytime running lights, active airflow shutters in the front grille, a more upright A-pillar, and larger panoramic side glass are just some of the upgrade highlights. This SUV is also larger than the 2025 model, offering a more commanding and premium silhouette.
Take a look at the 2026 Palisade pictures on this page to see more, then imagine yourself in the interior, which has been similarly restyled. The horizontal dashboard is a continuous piece that creates a more luxurious atmosphere, while the center console and armrest have been designed for increased comfort and ergonomic stability. This is just the beginning of what you can expect, too.
The all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade, however, doesn't remove the core attributes of its previous iteration's interior. It still boasts seven- and eight-passenger seating options across three rows, incredible spaciousness, and excellent technology and safety features.
Along with this next-generation redesign comes a plethora of colors to express your personal style. The Palisade is already well-known for its imposing build, and with its fresh new exterior look and your preferred paint job, you will be turning heads left and right. You can choose from the following options:
Within the upgraded cabin, an array of interior color options awaits. Black is available in every trim level, providing an elegant and modern look that your guests will appreciate when they climb inside. To brighten things up, each trim, except the XRT PRO, also offers the option of Gray as an interior color for understated sophistication. The range-topping Calligraphy adds Brown as the third option for an interior atmosphere that feels natural and timeless.
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade runs on a 3.5-liter V-6 engine with an output of 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. It works with an eight-speed automatic transmission and has options for FWD and HTRAC AWD. Thanks to its robust V-6, the Hyundai Palisade towing capacity reaches 5,000 pounds at its maximum.2 Every trim features Trailer Sway Control and trailer pre-wiring.
For the 2026 model year, the Palisade doesn't change drastically in terms of size, but it does have a 2.7-inch longer wheelbase and 2.5-inch longer length compared to the 2025 model, providing increased road presence and maneuverability in the cabin. The full exterior dimensions are as follows: 116.9-inch wheelbase, 199.2-200.4-inch length, 78-inch width, and 69.5-inch height.
Are you wondering about the interior measurements? The 2026 Palisade boasts 181 cubic feet of interior volume, 161.9 cubic feet of which is passenger space. Behind the third row is 19.1 cubic feet of cargo room, which can be expanded to 86.7 cubic feet with the second and third rows flat. Whether you're traveling with your family or hauling cargo for a weekend getaway, the Palisade is ready to adapt.
One of the most exciting parts of the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade release date is that the vehicle now offers a hybrid variant. It has more muscle and MPG, sporting a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with dual electric motors that produce a combined 329 horsepower.
This setup is slated to deliver up to an EPA-estimated 35 MPG (Combined)3 and reach a maximum targeted range of 619 miles.1 It has a slightly lower 4,000-pound towing capacity,2 but the extra efficiency more than makes up for it. For comparison, the gasoline-powered Palisade earns an EPA-estimated maximum of 21 MPG (Combined).3
