Key Features of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade

HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive with Tow Mode and Terrain Modes

Available HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive elevates surefooted control with active torque distribution that responds to real-time conditions, from hill starts to high-speed cornering. Tow Mode optimizes shift patterns when pulling a trailer, holding lower gears longer to reduce shift frequency and maintain steady momentum. For added confidence, new Mud, Sand, and Snow terrain modes tailor throttle, shift logic, and torque split to help you navigate challenging surfaces. The XRT PRO goes a step further with an exclusive electronic rear limited-slip differential (eLSD), increased ground clearance, all-terrain tires, and integrated OEM tow hitch on select trims—ideal for trailheads, campsites, and mountain getaways.

First- and Second-Row Relaxation Seats

Long drives feel noticeably easier thanks to available Relaxation seats for both the driver and second-row passengers. These seats introduce additional recline and deployable upper-leg supports to help reduce fatigue during extended trips. Pair that with available second-row heating and ventilation, one-touch second-row tilt-and-slide for easy third-row access, and an available power-folding, power-reclining third row with available heating, and you have a cabin that truly prioritizes every occupant. The redesigned center console emphasizes comfort and ergonomic stability, while carefully placed cup holders and accessible USB-C ports in every row keep people and devices refreshed and charged.

Panoramic Curved Display with Dual 12.3-inch Screens

The panoramic, curved digital instrument cluster and navigation system with dual 12.3-inch displays keeps key information clear and within easy reach. This setup integrates your core driving data, maps, media, and Hyundai SmartSense insights into a clean, intuitive view. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ reduce cable clutter, while the available Bose® 14-speaker surround audio envelops the entire cabin in rich, immersive sound. With wireless Over-The-Air updates, your multimedia and many vehicle systems can receive enhancements down the road, helping your SUV stay current without a service visit.

Built-in Dual-Camera Dash Cam and Advanced Safety

The available built-in, two-camera Dash Cam is designed to bring added peace of mind. It can continuously record while driving and can automatically save video if a sensor detects movement when the vehicle is parked. Access clips from the head unit or export via the glovebox MicroSD card. Safety is further elevated with ten standard airbags—including a center-front airbag—and new third-row seatbelt pretensioners with load limiters. SmartSense driver assistance technologies include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Safe Exit Assist, Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. An available full-display digital center rearview mirror and Advanced Rear Occupant Alert add confidence in daily use.

Hybrid or V6 Power, Towing Confidence, and Long-Range Road-Trip Ease

Choose the newly developed 3.5-liter V6 with up to an estimated 287 horsepower and up to an estimated 5,000-pound towing capacity for confident passing and trailering. Or opt for the first-ever hybrid, pairing a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with integrated electric motors for up to an estimated 329 system horsepower and targeted long-range capability. The hybrid’s Stay Mode helps you enjoy infotainment and climate while parked by smartly managing the battery. Both powertrains are tuned for quiet cruising with laminated glass and sound-deadening materials throughout, resulting in a calming cabin even on rough pavement.
