Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade

3.5-liter V6 and 2.5-liter Turbo Hybrid Powertrains

Choose between two advanced engines engineered for confidence and refinement. The newly developed 3.5-liter V6 targets up to 287 horsepower and up to 260 lb.-ft. of torque, matched to an 8-speed automatic for smooth, decisive shifts and up to a targeted 5,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped. The first-ever hybrid option teams a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with two electric motors integrated in a 6-speed automatic for up to an estimated 329 system horsepower and up to 339 lb.-ft. of torque. With its internally targeted range of up to 619 miles, the hybrid aims for fewer stops between big moments. Both powertrains are tuned for quiet operation, aided by laminated glass and extensive sound insulation, so conversations—and naps—come through clearly.

HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive with Tow Mode and Terrain Modes

Confidence starts where rubber meets road. Available HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive uses an electronic clutch to actively distribute torque between axles, enhancing traction and agility. Driver-selectable Normal, Sport, and Smart modes adjust responses for everyday or more spirited driving, while new Mud, Sand, and Snow settings help optimize grip in tricky conditions. Add Tow Mode to reduce gear hunting and improve control when your weekend calls for a trailer. On XRT PRO, hardware and software go further with added ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and an exclusive electronic rear limited-slip differential to help you push past the pavement with assurance.

Relaxation Seats and Power-Folding Third Row

Inside, the cabin flows with upscale touches and materials inspired by luxury home furnishings. Available first- and second-row Relaxation seats recline further and add deployable upper-leg support to help reduce fatigue during long stretches. Getting to the back row feels effortless thanks to available one-touch second-row tilt-and-slide, and the third-row seats are available with power folding, sliding, and power reclining—plus available heating—to fine-tune comfort for every passenger. With broader door openings and a longer wheelbase than before, entry and cargo loading are easier, and cup holders and 100-watt-capable USB-C ports in each row ensure everyone—and every device—stays charged and content.

Panoramic Curved Dual 12.3-inch Displays and Bose® Audio

A sweeping, panoramic curved screen brings the digital instrument cluster and navigation into a cohesive, elegant command center. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard, and a thoughtfully placed wireless charging pad with an integrated cooling fan delivers up to 15 watts for fast, reliable top-ups. Available Bose® 14-speaker surround audio delivers immersive, theater-like sound throughout all three rows. With Digital Key 2.0 Premium support, you can lock, unlock, start, and even share access via compatible smartphones or smartwatches—leaving the fob at home when you prefer.

SmartSense Safety and Built-in Dual-Camera Dash Cam

Palisade layers advanced protection with Hyundai SmartSense technologies, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Following Assist, Safe Exit Assist, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse, and available Remote Smart Parking Assist. Ten airbags are standard, including third-row pretensioners and a driver’s knee airbag. A first for Hyundai, the built-in dual-camera Dash Cam can continuously record while driving—and auto-record incidents when parked—viewable through the head unit or removable via the MicroSD card. Available UV-C sterilization in the center console, a full-display digital rearview mirror, Wi-Fi hotspot capability with Alexa Built-in, Bluelink® with OTA updates, and Hyundai Pay® add modern convenience you will use every day.
