Hyundai is flipping the script with its all-new 2026 Palisade—and it’s not just a facelift. This three-row beast is longer, stronger, and finally hybrid. After years of anticipation, the Palisade now comes with two new powertrain options, including a 329-horsepower hybrid setup that might just leave rivals like the Toyota Grand Highlander and Ford Explorer in the dust.
âš¡ Hybrid Beast: 329 HP & 30+ MPG Highway
Forget what you knew about Palisade's old-school V-6. The optional hybrid teams a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder with two electric motors, packed into a clever six-speed auto transmission.
✅ Power: 329 hp & 339 lb-ft torque
✅ Towing: Up to 4,000 lbs
✅ Efficiency: Over 30 MPG on highways
Yes, you read that right—more power and better fuel economy.
🆕 V-6 Engine: Still Muscular, But Smarter
Standard models get a 3.5-liter V-6 with 287 hp and 260 lb-ft, slightly lower than before, but tuned for better real-world efficiency and towing.
✅ Towing: 5,000 lbs
✅ Drive: FWD or AWD
✅ Transmission: 8-speed automatic
So whether you want classic V-6 grunt or modern hybrid punch, Palisade’s got your back.
