Hyundai’s flagship SUV returns for 2026 with a full make-over, offering a new off-road focused trim, all-new interior materials and fresh technology. A V6 engine continues to be in the lineup, while a new four-cylinder turbocharged hybrid is available. With three rows, standard all-wheel drive, and a large suite of safety systems, the Palisade offers Canadians a strong choice in the highly competitive large SUV market.
Juror Andrew McCredie had this to say in his Hyundai Palisade review published in Driving.ca:
“And that stellar highway fuel economy would mean more money for apres-ski and less for Big Oil. Hyundai has been on a decade-long run of going from strength to strength in its model portfolio, and the Palisade HEV continues that streak. And, that next-gen hybrid powertrain ensures that future Hyundai models will combine the attractive combination of performance and economy.”
