If you're looking for an adventurous vehicle that can easily transport your entire family, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is a perfect choice. For 2026, this vehicle has undergone a wide array of changes that include more standard technologies than ever and additional cargo space for your important gear. To help further inform you, our Route 1 Hyundai team has created this summary.

Power and Performance

There are two highly capable powertrains to pick from for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. Those who stick with a purely gas-powered model will receive a newly developed 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 engine that makes 287 horsepower and up to 260 lb-ft of torque. It comes paired with a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission that features a two-chamber torque converter. For those who prefer efficiency above all else, there's also a new hybrid powertrain with integrated twin electric motors.

This new Hyundai vehicle comes equipped with a standard two-wheel drive system, but the HTRAC All-Wheel Drive system is also available. The available Tow Mode optimizes your engine's power for extra efficiency and confidence while towing. You can expect a maximum towing capacity of up to 5,000 lbs.

Technology Features

The cabin of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade has also been revamped for the new year. You'll receive a widescreen panoramic display that seamlessly incorporates a 12.3-inch center touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ come standard alongside a 15W wireless charging pad with an integrated cooling fan. There's a UV-C sterilization compartment inside the center console. You can also opt for a digital rearview mirror and a 14-speaker Bose® premium sound system.

Safety Features

The Hyundai SmartSense package comes standard for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. This feature suite includes forward collision-avoidance assist, blind spot collision warning, adaptive cruise control, and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist. For 2026, there are now ten standard airbags for additional security.
