THE 2026 HYUNDAI PALISADE CALLIGRAPHY IS A LUXURIOUSLY APPOINTED MODERN 3-ROW FAMILY HAULER

EV Channels Review

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy represents a significant evolution for the three-row family hauler, boasting a bolder exterior design and a remarkably luxurious interior that rivals premium brands. The reviewer highlights the upscale cabin, featuring high-quality materials, extensive technology, and comfort amenities like massaging seats, which are class-leading. However, the new 3.5L V6 engine, while smooth and refined, is a notable disappointment in terms of performance, delivering slower acceleration and less torque compared to its predecessor and key competitors, making the hybrid powertrain a highly recommended alternative. Despite the powertrain's shortcomings, the Palisade excels in ride comfort, quietness, and overall refinement, making it an excellent road trip vehicle and a strong contender in its segment, especially for those prioritizing luxury and features over outright speed.
