2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid First Drive Review: The Perfect Palisade Doesn't Have A V6

A turbocharged, hybrid powertrain transforms the 2026 Hyundai Palisade from an elegant but sluggish family SUV to a long-distance dream cruiser.

2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid First Drive Review: The Perfect Palisade Doesn't Have A V6

Hyundai has a good thing going with the Palisade. After mediocre offerings like the Veracruz and Santa Fe XL, the 2020 Pally was the first three-row Hyundai SUV to put the fear of God into stalwarts like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander, earning customers on basis of its reasonable price and segment-leading warranty, sure, but also because it looked good, rode well, and had plenty of space. The latest Palisade is more of the same, only with a significant boost in luxury and quality – plus crisp styling that wouldn't look out of place on a Genesis or even a Range Rover.
