Entering its second generation, the Hyundai Palisade's base price has increased by $1735; it now starts at $40,430. 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.

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.
