2026 Palisade Hybrid Review

Outstanding vehicle, dealer prep could use some work. Multiple protective covers left installed throughout the car. Car was advertised as in stock and ready to go. We drove 1 1/2 hours to purchase the car and was told that the recall software updates had not been done and it would be 2 days before they could deliver the car to us. Upon receipt, we discovered that the only way to start the vehicle was to place the keys in the cup holder. In addition none of the other remote features were working correctly. They had to replace a controller computer which required another long trip to the dealer. Since they performed the recall work on the vehicle prior to delivery, that had to have realized that the only way to move the vehicle was to place the keys in the cup holder. In addition, they drove the vehicle to us so they would have noticed it then as well. Vehicle has been great since that time.

There's No Spare Tire

Great car, no spare tire, and 21" tires are unavailable to get for two+ days. So if you get a blowout, you're without a car and tire for 3 days. You have to be towed, and if you're in the middle of nowhere, it's really difficult. Hyundai should have given more thought to the hybrid having a spare tire and also not putting it underneath the car. I had a heavy set tow company person come to tow me. There would have been no way he could have gotten under the car. Put the spare tire in the trunk! I traded the brand new car because of this! I'm disappointed that I had to, but I felt like I could not carry a full size 21" tire around in my trunk all the time. It would have used up the whole space in the back. Please redesign this vehicle.

Hello Jennifer,

Thank you for your feedback. Spare tires add to production cost; the Tire Mobility Kit offers a lighter, more cost-effective alternative.  Removing a spare tire reduces unsprung weight and improves fuel economy, which is a selling point for hybrid vehicles. ^cc

Couldn't love this car more!

I spent over a year looking and researching hybrid 3rd row vehicles. I had an Atlas at the time, and was patiently wiatining for them to realease their hybrid model. I was dissapointed to learn it was not coming out in 2026 which led me on a new search, to discover the new Hybrid palisade. Wow, instantly impressed. I had never had a Hyundai before and was imediately blown away just from the online images. My husband has a range rover, and I can see a lot of similar body shapes that we both love. I went to go check them out in April , after they were shortly realsed, test drove, and immediately was sold. It has such bells and whisltes, feels extremely luxury, and the gas mileage is fantastic. I live in Los Angeles, and do a ton of driving for work, so I neeed a car that could haul, hold a lot of my materials, and also be chic and flirt with a luxury car. This hit every point. 10/10 would buy again, I am a converted Hyundai driver.

Nearly flawless vehicle!

EXCELLENT on so many levels (inclined and not limited to handling, storage, overall drive, seat count, visibility, look...) but seats aren't really comfortable, shifter that hits my knee and overall design not preferred, faulty rear seat that didn't work and had to be fixed was unnerving

Honest MPG numbers

Window Sticker states 29/30 mpg. These numbers are not accurate. I'm getting 26.2 city. Highway miles/gallon is false. One trip was 22.5 and another was 25.5. Wish I knew this before my purchase.

Huge upgrade from last car & more powerful than I expected

Still absolutely thrilled with my purchase. Seeing savings on gas with the move to hybrid. There was a bit of a learning curve with car performance because it is hybrid but settled in pretty quick. Overall it's super comfy and so far seems very reliable (though, of course, time will tell here once I've own for several years instead of a couple months).

Auto Lock

Vehicle is great and very surprised with for me coming from a 2022 Acura MDX Fully loaded. Only really issue I have with it and surprised that option is not there for a fully loaded Palisade. It is auto lock when you walk away from the vehicle. So if we can make that happed with a software update to have that.

More Bang for your Bucks

The original Palisade was a winner with interior and exterior design however, it lacked power and was not very good on gas. The 2026 Hybrid changed all that. Better exterior and interior styling in addition to more power and better gas mileage. A win win for the Palisade especially the Calligraphy. I would highly recommend the AWD version to take advantage of the more powerful engine.

Very nice truck so far, a couple of observations to make it better:

Plenty of power from the hybrid, the all-wheel-drive system handles very well in the rain. I love the light gray interior, it really pops, and the interior fit, and finish punches way above its weight in terms of price. It approaches Genesis level interior fit, and finish. I will say that I think the four-cylinder engine in the hybrid sounds a little bit coarse at speed. Also, the over the air update that eliminated manipulation for the third row from the front cluster is terrible. Hyundai needs to come up with a better solution for this. It’s part of the functionality that I purchased and I do not think this update is sufficient at all. Well, I don’t want to see anybody hurt, something needs to be changed. Another issue I have is that the media screen doesn’t effectively display song, title and album cover art in XM mode. The whole media interface when listening to XM radio needs to be updated. The small little window showing album art just not good enough. Another small issue is that this vehicle should include programming to lock the doors when I walk away from the vehicle with my fob in my pocket. I’m surprised this option was omitted. Other than those few small grips, I am very happy with this vehicle. I have around 2500 miles on it and so far so good.

Great so far

Love the vehicle so far, but hope the software continues to get upgraded to bring back the convenience of controlling all seats from driver seat like before the recall. Apple CarPlay ultra also should be provided in future updates. Not a fan of the cost of the Hyundai dashboard themes / light themes. Why have an added cost / money grab, give these cool little updates / customizations free to customers to choose so they can enjoy them without having to pay $50 for a fun light themes.

Love my Palisade Hybrid

I absolutely love my new Palisade! The seats are so comfortable and the drive is really smooth. Lumbar adjustments and leg rest in the front are top notch and the 2nd row tilts back plenty to allow my daughter’s car seat to rest naturally. I haven’t used the 3rd row but the trunk space has been perfect. This is the first hybrid I’ve owned and I’ve been super happy w it. It gets almost double the mpg of my last suv and the engines pick up has been perfect for me. It has bells and whistles I never would’ve considered but I do wish the touch door locks were on all 4 doors and the trunk had hands free option, but that’s more personal preference. Overall I couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a large suv.
