The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Costs More, But Delivers More Too
Hyundai has officially introduced the second-generation Palisade, and while the 2026 Hyundai Palisade price has increased, so has what the SUV brings to the table. From enhanced design and digital upgrades to the debut of a hybrid powertrain, the new model aims to justify its higher cost with meaningful improvements. New Pricing Across the Lineup The base 2026 Palisade SE, featuring a front-wheel-drive system and a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 282 Nm of torque, starts at $40,430 with destination included. That's $1,735 more than the 2025 model. The pricing structure has shifted throughout the range: SE: $40,430 (SAR 151,612) SEL: $42,935 (SAR 161,006) SEL Convenience: $44,365 (SAR 166,369) SEL Premium: $46,295 (SAR 173,606) Limited: $50,765 (SAR 190,543) XRT Pro (off-road): $50,865 (SAR 190,994) Calligraphy (luxury): $55,555 (SAR 208,333) Each trim level sees a modest price bump, but the new features aim to deliver more than just visual changes. Larger, Smarter, and More Refined Visually, the 2026 Palisade takes on a more assertive design, with a wider stance and longer dimensions contributing to improved cabin space. Inside, the dual 12.3-inch curved screens enhance driver interaction, while an integrated dash cam system now comes standard. Even base trims benefit from a tech-forward interior, creating a more connected driving experience. The new XRT Pro trim also enters the scene, targeted at customers seeking more rugged capability. It adds off-road focused upgrades like increased ground clearance, a limited-slip differential, and all-terrain tires. A First for the Palisade: Hybrid Efficiency One of the most notable changes is the introduction of a hybrid model. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid pairs a 2.5-liter turbocharged engine with two electric motors, generating a combined 329 hp and 460 Nm of torque. It's a clear move toward improved fuel economy and lower emissions—without sacrificing power. Pricing for the hybrid variants is as follows: Hybrid Base: $45,155 (SAR 169,169) SEL Premium Hybrid: $48,515 (SAR 181,931) Limited Hybrid: $52,985 (SAR 198,694) Calligraphy Hybrid: $57,775 (SAR 216,656) More Features, More Justification While the 2026 Hyundai Palisade price has climbed, the added content brings a stronger case for value. The V6 continues to offer solid performance, now accompanied by a hybrid that expands the SUV's appeal. The overall driving experience, interior tech, and versatility have all been elevated—making the price increase feel more like an investment in quality rather than an arbitrary markup. Final Verdict The 2026 Palisade arrives with a higher price, but also with more to offer. Buyers looking for a well-rounded family SUV will find that Hyundai has added substance along with cost—bringing meaningful upgrades in design, capability, and efficiency to its flagship three-row vehicle.

More Capable, More Refined, More Efficient The 2026 Palisade arrives at US dealerships this month, with the hybrid models going on sale this fall.

The new hybrid variant pairs a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with dual electric motors for 329 horsepower, 339 lb-ft of torque, and an estimated 30 mpg highway – all while sacrificing only 1,000 lbs of towing capacity compared to the gas model. Meanwhile, the new XRT PRO trim gives the Palisade legitimate off-road cred with all-terrain tires, a lifted suspension, and drive modes for mud, sand, and snow. Inside, all trims benefit from more noise insulation, twin 12.3-inch displays, USB-C charging in all rows, and upgraded materials throughout. Optional relaxation seats even include deployable leg rests for front and second-row passengers. Simply put, the 2026 Palisade builds on everything people liked about the old one – and fixes what they didn't. About the Author Jacob Oliva View Profile

2026 Hyundai Palisade Gets Bigger, Smarter, and Still Affordable
Hyundai unveiled the 2026 Palisade earlier this year at the New York Auto Show, bringing the next-generation version of its flagship SUV to the US with bold new styling, more space, a dramatically improved interior, and, finally, a hybrid powertrain.

2026 Kia Telluride Goes Boxier in New Spy Shots
The latest car news, reviews, and features. It seems like not long ago that we welcomed the mid-cycle refresh of Kia's three-row family SUV, but in the brutal world of automotive product cycles, that was an entire lifetime ago. Kia's next-generation replacement is already deep in development, and production-ready bodies have already been spotted in the wild, doing SUV things. These prototypes appear to be undergoing hot-weather durability testing, making sure the car's powertrain cooling systems are up to everyday tasks—and then some. There's still extensive vinyl wrap on these prototypes, but we can see that Kia chose to lean into the boxier design we saw on the updated first-generation model. That overhaul brought with it a more chiseled nose and the entire X-Pro aesthetic, which has proven successful for Kia despite its mild functional upgrades. Judging by the grille and tire selections on display, we're looking at two or three trim grades here. There appear to be at least two configurations wearing knobby, off-road-adjacent tires (one with the rectangular mesh grille; the other with the white wheel 'accents' and vertical grille orientation). We suspect one is the X-Line, which leans more toward looks, while the other is the full-blown X-Pro. We don't know specifics of what Kia has in store for the next-gen Telluride, but we have a pretty compelling crib sheet in recently redesigned Hyundai Palisade, which rides on the same platform and utilizes the same powertrains. Hyundai's new SUV will offer a hybrid powertrain for the first time, along with the returning V6. Those trailers in the gallery below aren't foils; the new Palisade hybrid can tow 4,000 pounds, and we have every reason to suspect the Telluride will keep pace. 2026 isn't far away, so we expect to see the new Telluride in the metal sooner rather than later. For now, you can check out these prototypes by swiping or clicking through the full gallery below. Spot something weird in the wild? Let us know at tips@

Genesis GV80 Hybrid coming in 2026
Luxury brand Genesis will look to debut its new hybrid drivetrain in the GV80 SUV in late 2026, according to a new report from a Korean news outlet. Korea JoongAng Daily cites 'a source familiar with the matter' saying the Hyundai Motor Group subsidiary's first hybrid model will commence production in September 2026, followed by the smaller GV70 Hybrid in March 2027 and then a G80 Hybrid thereafter. The source added the GV80 Hybrid, based on the current model which was recently facelifted, will have a short lifespan. A 'fully revamped GV80 Hybrid is slated for the second half of 2028', according to the unnamed source. Those timings align with Hyundai Motor Group's official communications about its next-generation hybrid rollout from April, which confirmed the new 2.5-litre turbocharged hybrid system debuting in the next-gen Palisade SUV will spawn a rear-drive variation bound for Genesis vehicles sometime in 2026. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Above: 2025 Hyundai Palisade 2.5T HEV system At the heart of the Korean carmaker's latest hybrid system is a new transmission, which features two integrated electric motors and can be 'paired flexibly' with a number of the company's existing engines to optimise performance and efficiency. The new transmission features what the Hyundai group calls a P1 and P2 motor, the former acting as a starter-generator while the latter assists with vehicle propulsion and regenerative braking. Hyundai adds the P1 motor is incorporated into the Active Shift Control (ASC) hybrid transmission logic, offering 'faster and smoother' shifts. In the case of the Palisade's 2.5-litre turbo-petrol system, the combustion engine has also been re-engineered to be more efficient. Beyond the P1 and P2 motors, the ICE unit features enhanced cylinder flow and a high-efficiency combustion cycle optimised for hybrids. Hyundai says the new Palisade Hybrid offers fuel efficiency of 7.1L/100km, which is approximately 45 per cent better than the 2.5T engine without the new hybrid tech. The Palisade Hybrid's 245kW and 460Nm outputs also represent 19 and 9.0 per cent improvements respectively over the non-hybrid version of the same engine. Above: Genesis Electrified GV70 This is the latest development in Genesis's rejigged electrification strategy in response to slowing EV sales growth. Genesis had previously confirmed all its new models from 2025 onwards would be electric vehicles working towards an EV-only lineup by 2030, but has since adjusted to include hybrids and is also developing range-extender EV technologies. 'Five years back we anticipated that the EV era would arrive very quickly, and we really wanted to be a leader and a disruptor in the EV space,' Genesis global boss Mike Song said in April 2024, as reported by The Korean Car Blog. 'Electrification is still our vision. We will have 100 per cent electrified vehicles, but the market and the customers now want hybrid more than EV, so we really want to bring Genesis hybrid into the market as soon as possible. We will apply it to as many models as possible.' Genesis Australia head Justin Douglass said he wants to offer hybrid models Down Under as soon as they're available. 'We are eager to introduce these new powertrains into our range in Australia at the earliest opportunity, enabling us to further expand our growing customer base and meet the needs of our discerning clientele,' Mr Douglass said in April 2024. Above: Genesis GV80 Black The Genesis GV80 is currently on sale in Australia with one drivetrain option, a 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbo petrol engine without any form of electric assistance – despite a 48V version with an electric supercharger being available overseas. A smaller 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-petrol is also offered in the domestic market as the base option, though this powertrain was axed from the Australian lineup pre-facelift. This engine will return though, once the GV80 Hybrid reaches the Australian market. It's unclear whether the Genesis hybrid system's outputs will differ greatly from the 245kW/460Nm quoted by the front-drive-biased Hyundai Palisade, though given Genesis's sportier rear-drive layout and more premium positioning, it wouldn't be surprising if the luxury arm pushed for a beefier tune around the 250kW/500Nm mark. Stay tuned to CarExpert for all the latest.
