2026 Hyundai Palisade First Look: Luxury Meets Practicality
Hyundai has revealed the new generation of its flagship three-row SUV, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. This redesign comes with a boxier look, more space, and high-end features, making it a standout in its class.
A Bold New Look
The new Palisade sports a sharper and more angular design. It features a tall, upright grille with large vertical LED lights. The sides are clean and sleek, with squared wheel arches and blacked-out pillars adding a modern touch.

At the rear, the squared-off design continues, with striking taillights wrapping around the SUV. This gives the Palisade a strong and confident presence on the road.
Bigger and Better
Hyundai has stretched the Palisade slightly, offering more space inside. Though exact dimensions aren’t revealed, it’s expected to be over 5 meters long. This makes it roomier than ever, with seating for up to nine passengers.

Hyundai is likely to offer two engine options for the new Palisade:
- A 2.5L hybrid for better fuel efficiency.
- A 3.5L turbocharged V6 for those who want more power.
- Details on performance are still under wraps, but these engines aim to balance efficiency and capability.
