This is the 2026 Hyundai Palisade, the all-new version of Hyundai's big 7 or 8-seater SUV.
00:12
It's a larger vehicle overall with a longer wheelbase, more upscale styling,
00:17
a newly available hybrid powertrain, and a new XRT Pro trim, which will actually be usable off-road.
00:30
The outgoing Palisade had a 3.8-liter V6.
00:37
The new one gets a slightly smaller engine, 3.5 liters, 287 horsepower, 260 pound-feet.
00:42
That's a slight reduction in power, but the big news is that there will now be a hybrid option.
00:48
It pairs a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors
00:52
that actually live inside the six-speed automatic transmission.
00:56
We don't have final numbers, but Hyundai is estimating about 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet
01:03
of torque from the whole system, and their hope is that it would deliver more than 30
01:07
miles per gallon on the highway.
01:14
Other big news is the new XRT Pro trim level.
01:18
Unlike last year's XRT, which was just an off-road appearance package, this one adds real functionality.
01:23
An extra inch of ground clearance, improved approach, departure, and break-over angles.
01:27
An electronic limited slip differential, 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires, and extra
01:32
terrain modes for the all-wheel drive system.
01:34
This thing is actually meant to go where no Palisade has gone before.
01:43
One of Hyundai's priorities was to make the interior an upscale, relaxing place.
01:47
Now, this is the top-of-the-line calligraphy model, but all the Palisades will have these nice
01:51
rounded shapes. There's kind of this glare shield over the digital dash, so you can see it even
01:56
in sunlight, and this lovely center console, which actually has room for a purse behind it.
02:02
One thing we were surprised to see is that the third row is actually habitable by adults,
02:06
at least short ones like me, and the access is very good.
02:10
The concentration was to make more interior space and make it more upscale and more relaxing
02:15
for the family.
02:15
Hyundai has not announced pricing, but they will tell us closer to launch, which is going
02:23
to be summer of 2025, for the V6-powered Palisade, and the hybrids will follow in the fall.
