The 2026 Hyundai Palisade costs $1,735 more to start than the 2025 model. The good news is that the price increase coincides with a complete redesign of the automaker’s beloved three-row crossover: The new Palisade is longer, lovelier, and has a completely revamped cabin.
The entry-level, front-wheel-drive Palisade SE starts at $40,430 (all prices include the $1,495 destination charge) for the 2026 model year. The Palisade range tops out with the Calligraphy trim, which is also more expensive for 2026. It now starts at $55,555 for the V-6 and $57,775 for the new hybrid. Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel-drive system is available on every trim for an additional $2,000.

Hyundai also tweaked the entire Palisade lineup for 2026. Gone is the plain XRT trim, which cost $44,545 for 2025, replaced by a new SEL Convenience. However, the 2026 Palisade is the first to get Hyundai’s new XRT Pro trim, which is only available with all-wheel drive. It features improved off-road angles, a trim-exclusive limited-slip differential, and a 1.0-inch increase in ground clearance.
The standard engine is the 3.5-liter V-6, but it makes less power than the outgoing model—287 horsepower and 282 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid powertrain pairs a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine with two electric motors mounted inside the six-speed automatic transmission to produce 329 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque.
New for the Palisade in 2026 is the addition of a hybrid powertrain. The lineup starts with the SEL, which costs $45,155. There are four trims available, including SEL Premium and Limited. AWD is also available on every hybrid trim for an extra $2,000.
