2026 HYUNDAI PALISADE – NOTHING COMES CLOSE! LUXURY SUV YOU’D TAKE OVER A BMW

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade emerges as a significantly enhanced flagship SUV, boasting a bolder design, increased dimensions, and a more luxurious interior that rivals premium brands. The reviewer highlights its improved aerodynamics, spaciousness, and a host of new tech features, including dual 12.3-inch displays, a built-in dashcam, and relaxation seats. The V6 powertrain is noted for its smooth delivery and efficiency, with a hybrid option arriving soon. While cargo space behind the third row is slightly less than the Grand Highlander, the Palisade offers versatile power-folding third-row seats and a standard spare tire (on V6 models). The interior is praised for its premium materials, advanced climate control, and innovative features like the UV sterilizer and digital rearview mirror. The reviewer strongly advocates for the Palisade's exceptional value, suggesting it outperforms luxury competitors like BMW in terms of features and space for a significantly lower price, especially in the Canadian market where it comes standard with AWD and a V6 engine. The vehicle is lauded for its quiet ride, improved braking, and overall family-oriented appeal.
