Hyundai announces prices for the new 2026 Palisade
Hyundai introduced the updated Palisade at the New York Auto Show and has now published prices for the American market. The base SE version costs $38,935, which is $1,735 more expensive than the previous model. However, buyers get a larger three-row crossover with the option of choosing a hybrid powertrain.
The standard SE trim includes LED lighting, acoustic windshield, 18-inch wheels, and a 12.3-inch multimedia screen. A safety system with Smart Cruise Control, collision warning, and other modern driver assistance features is also available.
Available trims and prices
The higher SEL trim starts from $41,440 and offers a more premium interior with leatherette, heated seats, and wireless charging. The most advanced Calligraphy version for $54,060 is equipped with 21-inch wheels, Nappa leather, a panoramic sunroof, and an extended package of driver assistants.
For those looking for a more off-road capable option, Hyundai offers the XRT PRO modification for $49,370. It received a 1-inch increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and additional body protection.
Hybrid version
The new feature for the 2026 Palisade is the hybrid powertrain. It combines a 2.5-liter turbo engine with an electric component, producing 329 hp. The claimed fuel consumption is up to 34 miles per gallon. The hybrid is available in trims from SEL for $43,660 to the top Calligraphy for $58,280.
The updated Palisade retained the traditional 3.5-liter V6 for standard versions, which develops 287 hp and consumes an average of 21 miles per gallon. All models are equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission and the option of all-wheel drive.
Given the price increase in the three-row crossover segment, the new Palisade remains competitive due to its rich standard equipment and the introduction of a hybrid version. Particular attention should be paid to the technological solutions in the top trims, which were previously only available from premium brands.
