All-New 2026 Hyundai Palisade Gets Hybrid Efficiency and Off Road Chops

The second-generation 2026 Hyundai Palisade is larger, roomier and gets an optional hybrid powertrain for the first time. Plus there's a new XRT Pro off-road oriented model with more capability in rugged situations, including a trail camera system, recovery hooks and additional instrumentation. Tom Voelk checks out a Calligraphy Hybrid and XRT Pro V6 to preview the 2026 Palisade before it's arrival in the summer of 2026. Hyundai provided transportation and lodging for this preview. All opinions remain his own.
