EV Channels Review
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade receives a significant update, aiming to redefine the family SUV segment. The reviewer highlights the bold new exterior design, particularly praising the rear end, though initial impressions suggest it might be polarizing. Inside, the focus is on enhanced comfort and utility across all three rows, with features like motorized third-row seats, heated/ventilated seats in the first two rows, and a unique integrated dash cam. Two powertrain options are introduced: a 3.5L V6 (287 hp) and a new 2.5L hybrid (329 hp) targeting over 30 MPG and a 600-mile range. The XRT Pro trim stands out with off-road enhancements like an electronic rear limited-slip differential and increased ground clearance. While the reviewer appreciates the advancements, they note the V6 is less powerful than its predecessor and express concern over the discontinuation of complimentary maintenance for 2026 models.
