2026 Hyundai Palisade Prices Climb Higher

Prices shift upward across the board; top hybrid models can hit $60,000 ($68,000 CAD).

Hyundai has released pricing for the 2026 Palisade lineup in both Canada and the USA, ahead of the model's arrival in dealerships in a matter of days. Entering its second generation, the Palisade sees a slight increase in pricing across the board—aligning with a modest growth spurt, not to mention more standard tech—along with the (later) availability of a model-first hybrid powertrain.

The '26 Palisade will arrive as the largest gas-powered model in the Hyundai family, its 199.2-inch (5,060-millimeter) length matching the all-electric Ioniq 9. The wheelbase grows slightly more than overall length, adding 2.8 inches (70 mm) for a long 116.9-inch (2,970-millimeter) total, which Hyundai says improves third row comfort. The proportions are different too thanks to a shorter front overhang. Of course, the Palisade adopts a very different look for this generation, going boxier a la Santa Fe but with a distinctive LED light signature up front aligning with the grille. The headlight shape is mirrored at the rear, where reverse-rake D-pillars give the Palisade a distinctly upmarket look. Rolling stock goes all the way up to 21-inchers now, and there's a more focused off-roading trim in the shape of the XRT Pro.

Gas models adopt a new, slightly smaller 3.5-liter V6 engine, putting out 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and paired to the same eight-speed automatic as before. The new Palisade hybrid takes the 2.5-liter turbo-four found in other Hyundais and pairs it with two electric motors and a six-speed automatic 'box. Hyundai quotes 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque for this setup, while also promising 34 mpg combined (7.0 L/100 km).

In America, the lineup will begin with the Palisade SE, ringing in at $40,430 including destination, an increase of around $1,700 over the existing model. The SEL is next up at $42,935; SEL Convenience and SEL Premium package trims come in at $44,365 and $46,295, respectively. The Limited shows up at $50,765, while the new XRT Pro is just $100 more. At the top of the 3.5-liter V6 pile is the Calligraphy an an easy-to-remember $55,555.

The hybrid lineup is smaller and starts better-equipped, kicking off with the Palisade Blue SEL at $45,155. From there buyers have the choice of SEL Premium ($48,515), Limited ($52,985), and Calligraphy ($57,775). All trims can be had with all-wheel drive for $2,000 more, except the XRT Pro which has it as standard.

Canadian buyers have fewer options, largely down to the Land of the North sticking to only AWD. The lineup begins with the Palisade Preferred Trend ($55,799 CAD), broadly similar to the American SEL Convenience. From there the lineup goes XRT Pro ($59,899 CAD), Luxury Hybrid ($62,599 CAD), Ultimate Calligraphy ($64,599 CAD), and Ultimate Calligraphy Hybrid ($67,799 CAD). All Canadian prices include $2,100 CAD in destination charges.

Even as it ends its run, the first-generation Palisade remains one of the best three-rows on the market, with only its lack of a hybrid option being a major weakness. Needless to say, we're looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the '26 model, which will happen very soon.
