2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid – Research & Overview

At Empire Hyundai of New Rochelle, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid stands out as a breakthrough in Hyundai’s three-row SUV lineup. This all-new hybrid model blends the space, comfort, and capability of the Palisade with an advanced electrified powertrain. For families, commuters, and long-distance travelers, the Palisade Hybrid delivers efficiency and performance without compromising on luxury or utility.

Starting Price & Trim Options

The 2026 Palisade Hybrid starts around $44,160 for the base Blue SEL front-wheel-drive model. The lineup expands into higher trims including Premium, Limited, and the top-of-the-line Calligraphy, with available all-wheel drive for drivers who want improved traction and confidence. The fully equipped Calligraphy AWD model reaches the upper $50,000 range. With its combination of upgraded materials, enhanced features, and hybrid performance, the Palisade Hybrid offers exceptional value across all trims.

Powertrain & Performance

Power comes from a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a sophisticated hybrid system, producing a combined 258 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. This powertrain allows the Palisade Hybrid to accelerate with ease, making it one of the stronger performers in its class.

The hybrid system significantly boosts efficiency, with estimated fuel economy of 33 mpg city / 35 mpg highway / 34 mpg combined for front-wheel-drive models. All-wheel drive models offer slightly lower but still impressive MPG ratings. Despite switching from a V6 to a hybrid-assisted powertrain, the Palisade Hybrid maintains solid capability with an estimated towing capacity of up to 4,000 pounds, making it suitable for small trailers, boats, or recreational equipment.

Design, Interior & Features

The 2026 Palisade Hybrid features a bold, squared-off exterior design with modern lighting elements and a sophisticated profile that communicates strength and refinement. Inside, the cabin is spacious and upscale, offering seating for seven or eight passengers depending on the configuration. Soft-touch materials, premium trim options, and advanced technology features make every seat feel like the best seat in the house.

Cargo capacity remains generous, with 19.1 cubic feet behind the third row and even more when seats are folded flat. A large digital instrument cluster, a modern infotainment display, available head-up display, and optional 360-degree camera system elevate convenience and driver confidence. Hyundai’s SmartSense safety suite is included and offers features like forward collision-avoidance, lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control.
