2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro

The 2026 Palisade is Hyundai's three-row family SUV, slotting above the Santa Fe and competing with the Honda Pilot and Kia Telluride. The Palisade drives with a composed, confident feel, and the hybrid's electric assist delivers a hushed, effortless launch. Its ride is tuned for comfort, soaking up rough pavement while keeping body motions in check on the highway. The cabin is roomy and upscale, with generous space for seven or eight and a long list of standard tech and safety features. The XRT Pro trades the hybrid powertrain and some luxury features of the Limited for rugged looks, all-terrain tires, and recovery hooks. Its 3.5L V6 makes 287 horsepower and routes it through an eight-speed automatic to all four wheels, with an electronic limited-slip differential that helps it find traction on loose surfaces. Expect a firmer ride from the all-terrain tires and a bit more road noise than the standard Palisade, which is the trade for added capability on gravel and dirt.
