Exterior
Body Strength
Underneath the stylish exterior of the 2026 Palisade is Hyundai’s ultra-rigid vehicle chassis, known as the SUPERSTRUCTURE. It’s made with Advanced High-Strength Steel, which is stronger, stiffer, and lighter than the typical metal you’ll find in most vehicles. In the event of a collision, it can absorb and redirect crash energy away from the cabin, which helps to protect everyone inside.
Hands-Free Tailgate
Ever tried to open your trunk with your hands full? The 2026 Hyundai Palisade makes it easy. With the hands-free power liftgate, instead of pressing buttons or waving your foot, all you need to do is stand behind the vehicle with your proximity key. After a few seconds, the tailgate automatically opens for you.
Interior
Seating Comfort
When it’s time for a long drive, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade holds your “back.” Up front, the Driver’s Ergo Motion Seat is built to support proper posture and even helps with gentle stretching movements to reduce driving fatigue. In the second row, the captain’s chairs come with a relaxation feature, so your passengers can enjoy first-class comfort as well.
DriverTalk Intercom
There’s no more shouting back to the third row. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade comes with DriverTalk, an in-car intercom system that uses the vehicle’s built-in speakers and microphones. It lets the driver communicate effortlessly with passengers in the rear seats through the audio system, so everyone can hear you clearly without raising your voice.
Performance
Powertrain Options
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade gives you options when it comes to power. You can go with the tried-and-true Lambda III 3.5L GDI V6 engine, which is capable of generating 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Coming soon is the Theta III 2.5L Turbo GDI hybrid engine, which steps things up with 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque.
Auto-Levelling Suspension
When you’re towing heavy loads or carrying a lot of cargo, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade’s auto-leveling suspension steps in to keep the vehicle balanced. It helps reduce sagging in the back, so your ride can stay steady at all times.
Technology
Panoramic Curved Display
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade features a panoramic curved display that combines a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen across the dashboard. This setup puts all your key driving info and entertainment right where you can see it, wrapping around your view for an immersive driving experience.
Built-In Techs
Besides its large display, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade also comes loaded with built-in tech features, like a dual-channel dashcam recorder to capture every angle of your drive, a digital rearview mirror for a clearer view behind you, and over-the-air updates that keep your system up to date without a trip to the dealer.
Safety
Hyundai SmartSense
Sometimes driving can be stressful, but the 2026 Palisade’s Hyundai SmartSense is always looking out for you and ready to step in if needed. This system provides a bunch of safety and driver-assistance features, helps keep you in your lane, watches out for cars sneaking up in your blind spots, and even reminds you to take a break if you’re looking tired. Some of the key features are:
- Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
