We Love It Despite the New-Gen Growing Pains!

Our 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Hybrid: We Love It Despite the New-Gen Growing Pains! Hyundai nailed the design decisions with this all-new second-generation Palisade—it's bold, premium, and feels like a true step up. We absolutely love this vehicle and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. As with most major redesigns, it's not perfect. We went in expecting some teething issues (it's a completely fresh model with a longer wheelbase, updated styling, and the new hybrid powertrain), and we've encountered a few. Thankfully, Hyundai's excellent warranty has us covered, so these haven't been deal-breakers at all. We've noted plenty of minor cons in our daily use, but they don't change our minds—we're still thrilled with the purchase! That said, I have to admit one change really disappoints me: the climate control system. Our previous Hyundai (a 2016 Genesis) had an amazing setup that quickly and effectively cleared out nasty fast-food odors and kept the cabin fresh. This new one just doesn't perform the same way. I suspect most people never noticed how much effort Hyundai put into that feature before—it probably flew under the radar. It's my biggest gripe so far, and it's the only thing that truly bugs me. Everything else? Outstanding. The drive is phenomenal—this is one of the quietest rides I've ever experienced, even surpassing my old Genesis. The cabin is serene, with excellent noise insulation that makes highway trips feel luxurious. The interior design is brilliant: so much glass that it feels like an open-concept home on wheels, flooding the space with light and openness. There's generous room everywhere, especially in the third row—which I've always hated in other SUVs because they're cramped. Not here! The third-row seats recline and even slide back a few inches for extra legroom, making it genuinely comfortable for adults or growing kids. This Palisade was clearly built like a rolling family room, where everyone feels pampered and at ease. Bottom line: The pros far outweigh the cons. Hyundai has created a spacious, quiet, premium three-row hybrid that's perfect for families. We're loving every mile, and the minor issues feel like small trade-offs for everything they've improved. Highly recommended!

The Wait was Worth It

Beautiful inside and out. Drives like a charm. The hybrid allows good gas mileage, while providing a racy feel.

2026 Hyundai Palisade HEV

I am a little over 1600 miles in and I love my Palisade so my comments and ratings below should reflect this. Hopefully, with time and use the vehicle continues to be reliable, safe and continues to live up to Hyundai's fuel economy predicted levels.

Palisade hybrid calligraphy review

12v battery issues have made my experience a bit rough as it constrained some of the technology I was looking forward to using including dash cam and digital key. Also Mpg has been pretty low Eve though I actively try to drive economically.

Great car, OK value

We do very much like our new ride. It has lots of great features but there is still some to be desired. Within the first 30 days, we had error codes and had to return it to dealer which was unfortunate. Overall it's a great car that looks good and drives nice, but it does seem a little overpriced when it comes to value.

Don't believe the milage estimates

The vehicle's design is awesome, exactly as advertised however the EPA estimate of 29 MPG city and highway combined is inflated by 50%. I drive pretty conservatively and even more so since I was disappointed in the milage and no matter how hard i try I can't get over 20 MPG city and highway combined. After 1700 miles i sit at 19.2 MPG which is essentially what the 6 cylinder gas engine should get.

Hello Thomas,

Mileage distances are determined by standardized tests under controlled circumstances. Real world range is also affected by driving style, weather and the use of the climate control. Every effort is made to provide customers with accurate information. ^cc

Not what I thought

I thought Hyundai had caught up and maybe passed American quality but I am mistaken. I bought the highest level of Palisade, expecting it to be as good as or better than the Buick I replaced. It is not. The ride is rougher, the features are confusing to use and the quality is not as good. I was disappointed.
