The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Is Capable, Family-Friendly, and Accommodating

Wider, taller, and longer than its predecessor, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is also more versatile and family-friendly than before. Boasting pleasant driving manners and impressive standard features, this three-row Hyundai SUV has an upscale cabin and eye-catching exterior styling elements. O’Brien Hyundai of Normal is where you can see how accommodating the Hyundai Palisade is.

Power and Performance

A 3.5-liter six-cylinder engine powers the redesigned Hyundai Palisade, and it produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission that has steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters handles gear changes masterfully. Most of the SUV’s trims have front-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive available as an option. The Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro model is offered with all-wheel drive exclusively.

Selectable drive modes that include Eco, Sport, and My Drive are standard for the Hyundai SUV. Vehicles with AWD add more driving modes, including Sand, Snow, and Mud options. With the appropriate equipment, the Hyundai Palisade can tow as much as 5,000 lbs. The Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro will appeal to off-road enthusiasts as it has a one-inch lift for added ground clearance and an electronic limited-slip rear differential.

Technology Features

Able to transport seven or eight passengers or up to 86.7 cubic feet of cargo with its second and third rows folded, the Hyundai Palisade has a spacious cabin. As is the case with other new Hyundai SUVs, the Hyundai Palisade is home to an array of interior tech features. Those features kick off with a multi-user Wi-Fi® hotspot.

They also include a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen that works perfectly with the SUV’s wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ connectivity. Onboard navigation provides clear directions to new destinations. Over-the-air updates allow the infotainment system to stay up to date without forcing you to make a service appointment.

Safety Features

Advanced safety and driver-assistive features are just as generous for the Hyundai Palisade. Hands-Free Driving Assist 1® is standard, for example, and it supports hands-free, semi-automated driving. The SUV’s additional safety features include:

  • Driver attention monitor
  • Adaptive cruise control
  • Traffic sign recognition
  • Front and rear parking sensors
  • Unresponsive motorist emergency stopping
