2026 Model Redesign Year

For its second generation, the Hyundai Palisade goes big, increasing its size, fuel efficiency, premium features, and off-road capability. The base engine is a new 287-hp, 3.5-liter V6 paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission and a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity. It is offered in front- and all-wheel-drive configurations. The real news is the Palisade's first-ever hybrid powertrain: a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors, generating a total of 329 horsepower. Hyundai expects the hybrid to achieve about 34 mpg combined.

The interior, especially on the fancy Calligraphy trim, gains numerous thoughtful touches. A new XRT PRO trim builds on the previous XRT to create an adventure-ready version with heightened off-road capabilities.

2025

2020 Model Redesign Year

The Palisade three-row midsized SUV can seat seven or eight people, depending on whether the second row is a bench or two separate captain's chairs. It shares its platform and many components with the Kia Telluride, including its punchy 291-hp, 3.8-liter V6 that's paired with a responsive and smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic. The roomy cabin is very quiet. The Palisade rides comfortably, but handling is not particularly nimble. The interior is filled with thoughtful details and benefits from simple controls, except for the unintuitive push-button gear selector and the hard-to-reach touchscreen infotainment system.

2020-Present

2020 Model Redesign Year

The 2020 Palisade three-row midsized SUV can seat seven or eight people, depending on whether the second row is a bench or two separate seats. It shares many components with the Kia Telluride, including its smooth 291-hp, 3.8-liter V6 that's paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The roomy cabin is very quiet. The Palisade rides comfortably, but handling is not particularly nimble. The interior is filled with thoughtful details. It benefits from simple controls, except for the unintuitive push-button gear selector and the faraway touch screen for the infotainment system.

Several advanced safety systems come standard, including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assistance, driver monitoring, and rear occupant alert. Updates for 2021 include the new top-shelf Calligraphy trim, which includes various interior and exterior styling cues, and special 20-inch wheels. Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity is also new, and LED headlamps are now standard. For 2022, blind spot warning and rear cross traffic warning are standard on all trims.
