2026 Hyundai Palisade Pricing Trends Upwards, Starts Above $40,000
Pricing for the new Palisade Hybrid is out too, with the electrified model starting at $45,155.
The redesigned SUV has a longer wheelbase and larger exterior dimensions that match its boxy new styling.
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade marks the start of its second generation. It now offers a hybrid model for the first time, which joins the standard V-6 powertrain. As might be expected with that shift, Hyundai has raised the price on the popular mid-size three-row SUV.
New Palisade, New Prices
Starting with the V-6-powered Palisade, the SE sticks around as the least expensive point of entry, and it now starts at $40,430—$1735 more than the 2025 version. The SEL is one rung up the ladder and starts at $42,935, the SEL Convenience at $44,365, and the SEL Premium at $46,295. Stepping up to the Limited moves the price to $50,765, with the off-road-oriented XRT Pro adding another $100 to that total. Finally, the Caligraphy rounds out the nonhybrid lineup and starts at $55,555.

Given the extra tech, it makes sense that the Palisade Hybrid starts with a slightly higher floor than the pure combustion model. Pricing for the new model starts at $45,155 for the Blue SEL trim and moves to $47,155 for the standard SEL. The Blue SEL Premium trim starts at $48,515, with the SEL Premium at $50,515. The Limited and Caligraphy carry starting prices of $52,985 and $57,775, respectively.
To assuage any discontent with the increased price, the new Palisade comes with more standard features than the previous generation. For starters, the actual footprint of the SUV has grown, with the wheelbase stretching an extra 2.7 inches versus its predecessor. The elongation improves legroom for second- and third-row occupants. In addition to the extra space, the Palisade also has a totally refreshed interior with an upright dashboard and dual 12.3-inch displays. Hyundai says V-6 models will begin arriving in U.S. dealerships later this month, with Hybrid models planned to arrive in the fall.

James Cook sits out Bills' practice Sunday, calls it "business"
Bills running back James Cook has made it known he wants a contract extension, and he skipped the team's voluntary offseason workouts to express his displeasure at not having one. Cook, though, attended the mandatory minicamp and fully participated in the first eight practices of training camp. On Sunday, he rested. Cook did not participate in practice for the first time during camp, watching from the side in street clothes and spending time on an exercise bicycle. "Oh, nothing," Cook said, via Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN. "Business." Cook also answered "business" when asked whether he was holding in and about whether he planned to practice Monday. The Bills had no comment on Cook's non-participation, per Getzenberg, and Cook was not included in coach Sean McDermott's list of injured players sitting out Sunday's session. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that the sides have engaged in talks and are "not . . . that far apart." Cook wants to be paid like one of the top running backs in the league after making $4.257 million for his first three seasons. He is due to make $5.271 million in base salary this season in the final year of his rookie deal. Cook, a second-round pick in 2022, has rushed for 2,638 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career. The two-time Pro Bowler also has caught 97 passes for 883 yards with seven touchdowns. The Bills extended the contracts of cornerback Christian Benford, defensive end Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard and wide receiver Khalil Shakir this offseason. Cook insinuated on social media early in the offseason that he was looking for $15 million a season, something that is unlikely with any team. Saquon Barkley ($20.6 million per season), Christian McCaffrey ($19 million) and Derrick Henry ($15 million) are the only running backs making at least that much per season.

James Cook sits out Bills practice for first time amid contract stalemate, cites 'business'
The James Cook hold-in has commenced. After participating at practice since the start of Bills training camp, Buffalo's Pro Bowl running back showed up to Sunday's session in street clothes. When asked by reporters why he didn't participate, Cook offered a one-word answer: "Business," Cook said. When asked about practicing on Monday, Cook offered the same answer: "Business." Per ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg, Cook kept repeating the word "business" to reporters from there. The Bills declined to comment on the situation, according to Getzenberg. So it's safe to say that Cook's lack of participation was business-related. Cook shows up to practice in sweats Cook's been seeking a new deal the entire offseason. Despite the lack of progress on an extension, he participated at mandatory minicamp and during the opening days of training camp practice. But it was clear from the start of Sunday's session that he wasn't participating when he showed up wearing white sweats, no pads and a beanie. Instead of running drills, Cook got his work done Sunday on a sideline exercise bike. Cook, 25, is approaching the final season of his four-year, $5.8 million rookie contract that he signed after the Bills selected him in the second round of the 2022 draft. He's made the Pro Bowl twice while posting 1,200-plus yards from scrimmage in each of the last two seasons. He led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024. He's done so for a Bills team that enters 2025 seeking its sixth straight AFC East championship and hoping to contend for the Super Bowl. Where things stand between Cook, Bills Cook's previously indicated on social media that he's seeking a contract valued at $15 million per season. That would make him the league's third-highest paid running back in terms of annual value behind Saquon Barkley and Christian McCaffrey. Per Over The Cap, his current average annual contract value of $1.46 million makes him the league's 51st-highest paid running back. Cook addressed his contract status on July 24, shortly after the start of training camp. 'I mean, we have talks. I'm never going to give up,' Cook said of negotiations with the Bills, per The Athletic. 'I mean, I deserve it — what I want, what I need. It's going to eventually happen.' When asked how confident he was in a deal getting done, Cook said this: 'I mean, however it happens, it's going to get done," Cook said. "Wherever it happens." That same day, Bills general manager Brandon Beane addressed Cook's contract situation. 'As I've said all along, I love James Cook," Beane told reporters. "I want nothing more — you know how I am, I want to draft, develop, re-sign our own. "It is a business. We have to fit it in, not only cash, but cap. And sometimes it's not — you can look at it and say, well, you go this website or whatever, they could fit him in if they did this and this. But we also have to look at '26, '27, and beyond because you can walk yourself into one of those years where you're like, oh man, there's not a lot of guys we can take down on those years. "We would have to trade or cut someone that we wouldn't want to lose. So, it's not only 2025 when we're doing a deal with him or any other player. So, all those things have to make sense for us to fit it in." Without a contract extension, Cook would enter next offseason as a free agent, though the Bills in that instance could opt to apply the franchise tag. But that's not the immediate concern in Buffalo. For now, the Bills are trying to win a Super Bowl. And the status of their Pro Bowl running back is up in the air as Buffalo approaches its third week of training camp.

Man Refuses to Pay Girlfriend's $9K Credit Card Debt, but She Says He Needs to 'Invest' in Their Relationship
A 30-year-old man is seeking advice on whether or not he made the right choice to set a boundaryNEED TO KNOW A 30-year-old man is seeking advice on whether or not he made the right choice to set a boundary His girlfriend asked him for $300 to $500 a month to help pay off her credit card debt he didn't know she had The man refused and now his girlfriend is acting "cold" toward himA man is at odds with his girlfriend after she asked him to pay off some of her credit card debt. The 30-year-old man sought advice from Reddit on whether he had made the right decision by telling his 28-year-old girlfriend that he wouldn't share the burden of her debt. "So we've been together almost three years. Things have been good overall," he begins. "We've talked a lot about the future and were planning to move in together soon like actively browsing apartments kind of soon." However, last week, she told him that she had "around $9,000 in credit card debt," which he never knew about. "I asked why she didn't mention it earlier and she said it was embarrassing and she thought she could get a handle on it before it became our problem," he explains. Then, his girlfriend told him that she wanted to "delay" moving in together unless he was willing to help her pay off the debt. She proposed that he could cover $300 to $500 a month to help "speed things up," but he told her he "wasn't comfortable with that." 'I don't have any debt. I worked hard to stay that way. I've had my own money struggles, so I've always been careful with spending," he explains. "And while I don't mind helping out here and there in a relationship, I don't think it's fair to expect me to take on someone else's financial mess, especially before we even live together." His girlfriend didn't see it that way and told him he was being 'unsupportive' and that if he "really saw a future with her," he'd be "willing to invest" in it. "But to me that's not what this is. It feels more like I'm being asked to bail her out and I'm just not okay with that," he adds. While the man remained firm and refused to give her the money, now things are 'awkward." "She's barely texting back and when we talk, she's cold. I feel like I'm being punished for setting a boundary," he concludes. "But I also don't want to start living together on the wrong foot feeling like I'm financially responsible for her past choices." People in the comments section of his post told him that he was making the right move by not giving her the money. 'This is a problem she created. You are not her checkbook,' one person commented. 'Run, dude! Any partner who hides their debt, then tries to guilt you into paying it, then gaslights you when you say no is not the person to build a life with,' another person wrote.
