2026 Hyundai Palisade Debut With 329 Horsepower |
We first saw the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade back in December and it's grown significantly over its predecessor. The redesigned three-row SUV is now 2.5 inches longer overall, with a wheelbase stretched by 2.7 inches , offering more interior space and a more commanding presence on the road. It’s set to launch later this year in the U.S., featuring a bold new design and two updated powertrain options.
The standard engine for the 2026 Palisade is a 3.5-liter V6 producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque , paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission . While slightly down from the previous 3.8-liter engine (which delivered 291 hp and 262 lb-ft), this new V6 remains a strong performer. Buyers can choose between front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive , with a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds.

Hyundai estimates that the hybrid variant will return at least 30 mpg on the highway, with a towing capacity of 4,000 lbs making it a versatile option for eco-conscious families.

Tech highlights include wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a 15-watt wireless charging pad equipped with a cooling fan to prevent overheating during fast charging an innovative touch we’d love to see become industry standard.
