Hyundai has just unleashed its next-gen 2026 Palisade in North America, and it's not just bigger and better—it's rewriting the rulebook for family SUVs! This all-new Palisade brings bold design, powerful hybrid tech, and off-road brawn, along with a clever trick: it can run the AC and infotainment without burning a drop of fuel. Yes, this beast of a hybrid comes with “Stay Mode,” letting you cool off or chill out without idling the engine—just like an EV!
Hybrid That Packs a Punch
The new 2.5L turbo hybrid makes a thrilling 329 horsepower with a pair of electric motors and a six-speed auto gearbox. With a targeted 30+ mpg and a driving range of up to 619 miles, it’s both a powerhouse and a fuel-saver. And thanks to its hybrid battery, it supports electric-mode HVAC use while parked—perfect for tailgating or summer drives.

Bigger, Smarter, and More Luxurious Than Ever
The 2026 Palisade has grown—2.5 inches longer with a 2.7-inch extended wheelbase—giving passengers more space and comfort. It now features:
Dual 12.3-inch displays for infotainment and instrumentation
Wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
Optional Relaxation seats with leg support
Heated and power-folding third-row seats
USB-C ports and cup holders for all rows
Premium 14-speaker Bose audio system
This SUV now competes with luxury brands—without the luxury price.
Bold New Design That Turns Heads
The 2026 Palisade brings a muscular, boxy design, inspired by models like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9. It features:
Stacked horizontal LED headlights and taillights
Active aero shutters for better efficiency
A sleek profile with a 0.31 drag coefficient, one of the best in its class
Still Want That V6? Hyundai’s Got You Covered
Not into hybrids? The 2026 Palisade still offers a 3.5L naturally aspirated V6, producing 287 HP and 260 lb-ft of torque with an 8-speed automatic. It delivers up to 5,000 pounds of towing, more than the hybrid’s 4,000-pound capacity.
When and Where Can You Get It?
Hyundai plans to launch the next-gen Palisade in the U.S. by early Fall 2025. However, since it’s assembled in South Korea, there could be some delays or changes depending on import tariff regulations.
