This iconic three-row SUV continues its success after a 10% increase in sales in Canada in 2024. This new generation is bigger and features advanced functionality for families looking for versatility and elegance.

For the first time, the Palisade offers a hybrid powertrain delivering 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. This electrified system makes this family SUV even more adaptable, successfully combining power and fuel economy.

Powerful engine and extended range

The 2026 Palisade's hybrid system is designed to make your long-distance trips more enjoyable. With an estimated fuel consumption of 7.0 L/100 km, it can travel over 900 kilometers on a single tank, ideal for exploring Quebec's beautiful roads without frequent stops.

The Palisade Hybrid retains an impressive towing capacity of 1,814 kg (4,000 lb), enough to tow small boats, trailers, or recreational equipment. It also features Stay Mode, which keeps the battery monitored when the vehicle is stationary, allowing you to use the air conditioning and multimedia systems without draining the battery.

For those who prefer a conventional engine, the 3.5-liter V6 delivers 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This engine offers a towing capacity of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb) and comes standard with HTRAC all-wheel drive, ensuring safe driving on all Canadian roads, whatever the season.

The 2026 Palisade is larger in size to offer more comfort and versatility. Its wheelbase is 70 mm longer and its overall length is 65 mm longer, creating more space for all passengers. Despite these more generous dimensions, it retains excellent aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of only 0.31.

Inside, the horizontal dashboard is crafted from premium materials inspired by residential furniture. Soft surfaces and meticulous finishes extend all the way to the third row. Two 12.3-inch screens form a curved panoramic dashboard, providing optimal visibility of essential information.

The enlarged interior space significantly improves occupant comfort. The standard configuration offers eight seats, while optional captain's chairs facilitate access to the third row with a one-touch tilt and slide function. Heated and ventilated seats available in the first and second rows ensure comfort in all weather conditions.
The 2026 Palisade introduces Relaxation Seats in the first and second rows, offering a greater recline angle and retractable leg rests, reducing fatigue on long journeys.

Safety is enhanced by an integrated dual-camera event recorder, which automatically captures video in the event of a road or parking incident, providing additional peace of mind.

In terms of connectivity, 100-watt USB-C ports are available in all three rows, and wireless smartphone integration comes standard. With the Hyundai Digital Key, you can lock, unlock, and start your Palisade with your phone or smartwatch, and even share temporary access with loved ones.

Canadian drivers will benefit from practical winter features such as heated windshield washer nozzles and rear camera washer, ensuring optimal visibility in all seasons. The SmartSense safety suite is enhanced with ten airbags, third-row seatbelt pretensioners, and advanced driver assistance systems.
