Hyundai Announces Pricing for the All-New 2026 Palisade, Including New Hybrid and XRT PRO Models

Hyundai has officially unveiled pricing for the completely redesigned 2026 Palisade, marking a significant milestone for Canada's three-row SUV market. The flagship model arrives with an expanded lineup that includes the brand's first-ever Palisade Hybrid, the adventure-focused XRT PRO trim, and the luxury-oriented Ultimate Calligraphy variant. Starting at $53,699 for the Preferred Trend with the new 3.5L V6 engine, the 2026 Palisade represents a comprehensive reimagining of what a family SUV can accomplish.

The pricing structure reflects Hyundai's commitment to offering choice across different family needs and budgets. The Hybrid model starts at $60,499, bringing electrified efficiency to the three-row segment for families in Georgetown who prioritize fuel economy without sacrificing capability. Meanwhile, the XRT PRO at $57,799 caters to adventurous drivers seeking enhanced off-road capability, while the Ultimate Calligraphy tops the range at $62,499 for those who want maximum luxury.

Two New Powertrains Set the Standard

The 2026 Palisade introduces two entirely new engine options, each engineered to meet different driving priorities. The standard powertrain features a newly developed 3.5L V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and standard HTRAC all-wheel drive, this naturally aspirated engine targets a robust 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs) towing capacity.

For the first time, Palisade offers a hybrid powertrain option with an estimated combined system output of 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. The hybrid system targets exceptional efficiency at 7.0L/100 km while maintaining serious capability with an estimated 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs) towing capacity. The hybrid also includes a unique Stay Mode function that allows extended use of infotainment and climate systems when parked.

XRT PRO Brings Off-Road Capability

The new XRT PRO represents Hyundai's most capable off-road model to date, designed specifically for North American families who want to venture beyond paved roads. This rugged variant includes 25mm of additional ground clearance compared to other Palisade models, bringing total clearance to 213mm.

Key XRT PRO features include:

• Electronic rear limited-slip differential exclusive to this trim
• Enhanced approach, departure, and breakover angles for better off-road geometry
• All-terrain 255/60R18 tires designed for varied surfaces
• Functional orange recovery hooks front and rear

The XRT PRO also stands out visually with dark-finish 18-inch alloy wheels, matte black exterior trim, and unique interior materials that reflect its adventure-ready character.

Premium Interior Design and Technology

The 2026 Palisade grows in every key dimension, with the body spanning 65mm longer and the wheelbase extending 70mm compared to the previous generation. This additional space translates into easier passenger access and more comfortable seating in all three rows. Eight-passenger seating comes standard, with available captain's chairs offering one-touch tilt-and-slide functionality for effortless third-row access.

New Relaxation seats available in the first and second rows provide generous additional recline and deployable upper-leg supports to reduce fatigue on longer journeys. The interior features a horizontal dashboard layout with premium materials, dual 12.3-inch displays, and an available Bose 14-speaker surround sound system.
