Hyundai introduced the 2026 Palisade at the New York Auto Show, and now the company has announced U.S. pricing will begin at $38,935. That’s an increase of $1,735, but buyers will be treated to a larger three-row crossover with an available hybrid powertrain.
Kicking things off is the entry-level Palisade SE, which features a gloss black and chrome grille flanked by LED lighting units. Buyers will also find an acoustic windshield, laminated front side glass, and 18-inch alloy wheels.

The eight-seat interior is a little basic, but there’s a 4.2-inch cluster display as well as a 12.3-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Other highlights include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a tri-zone automatic climate control system, and hydrographic trim.
Despite the value-focused pricing, the Palisade SE comes with a host of driver assistance systems, including Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance. They’re joined by Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Parking Distance Warning. Other safety features include Safe Exit Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, Lane Keeping Assist / Lane Follow Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
The Palisade SEL starts at $41,440 and features a fancier exterior with a power liftgate, silver roof rails, and mirrors with integrated turn signals. Inside, there is leatherette upholstery, heated front seats, as well as eight-way power adjustment on the driver’s side. They’re joined by a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a wireless smartphone charger, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and second-row captain’s chairs.
The SEL also offers Convenience and Premium variants. The former adds a sunroof, a power passenger seat, and digital key technology. The SEL Premium is more luxurious as it has a heated steering wheel as well as heated and ventilated first- and second-rows. Other niceties include an ambient lighting system, HomeLink, a Surround View Monitor, and a Blind-Spot View Monitor.

The $49,270 Palisade Limited builds on the SEL Premium and features larger 20-inch wheels, gloss black accents, and a dual-pane sunroof. Buyers will also find leather seats, a heated power-folding third row, and a 14-speaker Bose premium audio system. They’re joined by revised trim, a 115V power outlet, and a fancier headliner.
The $54,060 Palisade Calligraphy has 21-inch wheels, a unique grille, and body-color cladding. The special touches continue inside with Nappa leather seats, a suede headliner, and woodgrain trim. They’re joined by an Ergo motion driver seat, an integrated dashcam, and four-way power second-row seats with a Relaxation Mode. Other highlights include more advanced driver assistance systems and a 12-inch head-up display.
Customers can also opt for a rugged XRT PRO, which comes standard with all-wheel drive. It starts at $49,370 and is based on the SEL.
Designed to venture off the beaten path, the model has unique bumpers, recovery hooks, and a 1-inch lift. They’re accompanied by black accents, an electronic limited slip differential, and dark 18-inch wheels wrapped in Continental all-terrain tires. Inside, drivers are treated to a heated steering wheel, heated and ventilated front seats, and a Bose audio system. There’s also ambient lighting and a handful of special XRT touches.
All of the aforementioned models are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that develops 287 hp (214 kW / 291 PS) and 260 lb-ft (352 Nm) of torque. It’s connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission, which can be paired with front- or all-wheel drive. This enables the model to return up to 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined.
A Powerful And Efficient Hybrid
Aside from the standard model, customers can get the new Palisade Hybrid. It features a streamlined lineup that starts in SEL guise for $43,660. Customers can also get the SEL Premium, Limited, and Calligraphy.
The trims echo those on the regular model, but the Hybrid is notable for featuring a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.65 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, a six-speed automatic transmission, and two electric motors.
This gives the crossover a combined output of 329 hp (245 kW / 334 PS) and 339 lb-ft (459 Nm) of torque. Besides being more powerful, the hybrid is slated to return up to 34 mpg, although Hyundai didn’t release detailed fuel economy estimates.
