The second-generation Hyundai Palisade has arrived with a bolder design, roomier accommodations, and a sharper focus on comfort and refinement for all three rows. Hyundai unveiled the all-new model at the New York International Auto Show, marking a true clean-sheet update rather than a light refresh.
Powertrains Options
At launch, the Palisade features a 3.5-liter V6 rated at 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, ideal for confident daily driving and highway passing. Later this fall, a first-ever Palisade Hybrid will join the lineup, pairing a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with two electric motors for an estimated 329 horsepower and robust torque.
Adventure-Ready XRT Pro
For Mebane-area families who like taking the scenic route, the 2026 Palisade offers a new XRT Pro trim level. This rugged variant adds essential hardware to improve capability beyond the asphalt, including a one-inch suspension lift, all-terrain tires, a limited-slip rear differential, and more.
Accommodations and Tech
Inside, the Palisade is bigger and quieter, with a cabin trimmed for near-luxury serenity and a longer wheelbase that enables more legroom. Attributes like easier third-row access, first and second-row Relaxation Seats, and extra sound insulation make your Graham commutes feel like first-class. You'll also enjoy tech enhancements like a dual-screen curved display with integrated navigation, wireless smartphone connectivity, and a wireless charging pad.
Smart Safety and Everyday Convenience
The 2026 Palisade brings standard Hyundai SmartSense driver-assistance features, plus convenient tech options that make ownership easier. Available highlights include Digital Key 2.0 (phone-as-a-key) and a built-in two-camera Dash Cam system.
