FULL 2026 HYUNDAI PALISADE HYBRID REVIEW - GREAT MPG AND LUXURY!

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy is presented as a compelling option for families seeking a spacious, luxurious, and fuel-efficient three-row SUV. The reviewer highlights its impressive MPG figures, particularly the 31 MPG combined for the front-wheel-drive model, attributing this to the 2.5L 4-cylinder hybrid powertrain producing 329 horsepower. The interior receives significant praise for its upscale materials, including Nappa leather, extensive comfort features like the "relaxation seat" with four-way lumbar support and leg extender, and a sophisticated design with multiple textures and colors. Technology is also a strong point, with dual 12.3-inch screens, a digital rearview mirror, and a comprehensive suite of safety and convenience features. While the reviewer notes the auto-lock/unlock feature is only on the front doors and the third row can be a bit tight, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing its luxury, practicality, and value, especially for the Calligraphy trim.
