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.
| 2026 Model | 2026 Price | 2025 Price | Price Difference |
| Palisade SE | $40,430 | $38,695 | +$1,735 |
| Palisade SEL | $42,935 | $41,445 | +$1,490 |
| Palisade SEL Convenience | $44,365 | N/A | N/A |
| Palisade SEL Premium | $46,295 | $46,045 | +$250 |
| Palisade Limited | $50,765 | $50,095 | +$670 |

| Palisade Calligraphy | $55,555 | $52,495 | +$3,060 |
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.
The New Palisade Hybrid
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.
| 2026 Model | 2026 Price |
| Palisade Hybrid SEL | $45,155 |
| Palisade Hybrid SEL Premium | $48,515 |
| Palisade Hybrid Limited | $52,985 |
| Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy | $57,775 |
Hyundai says the Palisade Hybrid reaches dealers later this year. The V-6-powered Palisade will start arriving at dealers later this month.
