2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures, Engine, Price
2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures, Engine, Price – A family hauler’s utility and practicality are critical factors in determining its success or failure. They may not be the eye-catching characteristics that create headlines, which is why people brag about horsepower rather than cup holders, but they are nonetheless worthy of more attention. Furthermore, if usefulness and friendliness were valued, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade would resemble a Ferrari. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
2026 Hyundai Palisade Redesign and Update Plan
Exterior and Interior
All rows can be folded using buttons in the trunk, and the second row can also be folded using levers on the sides of the optional captain’s chairs ($500). The third row has fully automated up and down actuation, but the second row only folds automatically – it has to be replaced manually.
The second row slides forward and back to make extra room for freight or third-row passengers, while travelers in the third row have simple access to controls that slide and tumble the second row out of the way, allowing them to enter and depart easily. It’s probably simple enough for a child to complete on their own.
The inside offers lots of cubbies for small-item storage in all rows, deep door pockets, and far too many cupholders to list. When not in use, the cupholders at the front may be retractable to provide extra space for other items. The retractable lid keeps your belongings hidden from nosy pedestrians. The center console storage is very extensive. The second row contains pockets to hold phones, and every passenger gets their own fast-charging USB port. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
2026 Hyundai Palisade Specs
The Urban trim tested here is well-equipped with nearly every feature Hyundai has to offer, except for a head-up display and wireless charging pad, which are saved for the top trim. Some standard feature highlights include the ability to connect two devices via Bluetooth, heated and ventilated front seats, driver’s seat memory, heated second-row seats, dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability, four 12-volt outlets, a sunroof, surround-view monitor, hands-free proximity tailgate, and more. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
Engine and Performance
The Palisade’s 3.8L V6 outputs 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, which is enough to get the SUV to highway or passing speeds confidently. All-wheel drive (AWD) is standard, and power is routed through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drive modes help tailor the Palisade’s powertrain, AWD, and responsiveness for different driving styles or terrains. Even when loaded with stuff, the Palisade is responsive and sure-footed, passing slower traffic with ease.
It never feels like it’s running out of steam, and I never found myself wishing it was quicker. Besides a few rough shifts, the powertrain elements work together smoothly. During a slippery autumn week, the AWD system sorted itself out quickly and found traction with barely any wheelspin. This big SUV is easy to park thanks to its surround-view cameras, and in general the Palisade doesn’t feel like a huge vehicle to drive. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
2026 Hyundai Palisade Fuel Economy
After about 700 km of mixed driving that skewed more towards highway travel, the Palisade averaged 11.0 L/100 km. I wish the Palisade was available as a hybrid to improve its efficiency, especially since Toyota has both the Highlander and Grand Highlander hybrids to choose from, both of which burn significantly less gas. 2026 Hyundai Palisade MPG
2026 Hyundai Palisade Safety Features
The Palisade also comes stacked with an excellent suite of safety features including blind-spot cameras that activate when you use the turn signals, forward collision avoidance with car, pedestrian, and cyclist detection, lane-keeping and following assist, driver attention warning, rear occupant alert with ultrasonic sensors, safe exit assist, and more.
The Palisade comes standard with a second-row bench seat to enable room for eight, but captain’s chairs are optional. These captain’s seats are heated and the top trim adds ventilation. Second-row passengers also get sunshades, plenty of space, and tons of amenities. The third row is roomy enough for kids, but should only be used for shorter trips for bigger kids or adults. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
2026 Hyundai Palisade Price and Release Date
The Palisade now only comes in two trims – the Urban and the Ultimate Calligraphy. The Urban is well-equipped and starts at $54,699 plus the $1,975 destination fee, while the Ultimate Calligraphy is $58,299 and adds more features and luxurious trims and materials.
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade’s practicality and family-friendliness are its standout features. This three-row has everything a busy family or small business owner needs, and provides comfort and frictionless usability in a way few other vehicles outside of a minivan can. During my week with the Palisade, I moved a bunch of large furniture and not once did a roadblock present itself. Everything just worked, and this seamless functionality makes the Palisade sexier than a Ferrari could ever be. 2026 Hyundai Palisade Pictures
