The 2.5L 4-cylinder turbocharged hybrid engine produces 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. This system targets 7.0L/100 km fuel consumption, providing a potential range exceeding 900 kilometres on highway driving. The hybrid system includes a Stay Mode function that monitors the battery when parked, allowing extended use of infotainment and climate controls without running the engine.
The hybrid maintains strong capability with a 1,814 kg (4,000 lbs) towing capacity, making it suitable for boats, trailers, and recreational equipment that Ontario families enjoy.
The Palisade Hybrid includes Hyundai's most advanced safety suite with 10 standard airbags and built-in dashcam technology. The integrated front and rear dashcam recorder works with exterior sensors to automatically capture nearby movement during driving and parking situations.
Advanced Rear Occupant Alert monitors rear-seat movement using sensors beneath the headliner. The system reminds drivers to check rear seats when exiting and can send smartphone alerts if movement is detected after the vehicle is locked—helping prevent children or pets from being forgotten.
The 2026 Palisade Hybrid provides 65 mm additional overall length and 70 mm longer wheelbase compared to the previous generation. This translates to easier passenger access and more interior room across all three rows.
Relaxation seats for front and second-row passengers offer additional recline positions and deployable upper-leg supports to reduce fatigue during long drives. Eight-passenger seating comes standard, with available captain's chairs featuring one-touch tilt-and-slide functionality for third-row access.
Dual 12.3-inch displays provide instrument cluster and infotainment functions with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The wireless charging pad delivers 15 watts of fast charging power with an integrated cooling fan to prevent device overheating.
The available Bose 14-speaker surround audio system delivers sound throughout all three rows. Digital Key functionality allows smartphone or smartwatch operation for locking, unlocking, and starting the vehicle, with sharing capabilities for family members.
Standard HTRAC all-wheel drive provides electronic torque control between front and rear axles with multiple drive modes. Normal, Sport, and Smart settings adjust torque distribution for different driving conditions, while Mud, Sand, and Snow terrain modes optimize performance for adverse conditions.
Tow Mode holds lower gears longer and reduces shift frequency when pulling trailers or recreational equipment. The system has been tuned for various scenarios including straight-line acceleration, cornering, and hill starts.
The exterior features a 0.31 coefficient of drag despite its upright SUV proportions. Vertical LED daytime running lights create a distinctive front signature, while up to 21-inch alloy wheels fill the wheel openings for a commanding presence.
Nine exterior colours include Abyss Black, Typhoon Silver, Hyper White, Cast Iron Brown, Galaxy Maroon, Titan Charcoal, Classy Blue, Robust Emerald, and Earthy Brass Matte. Interior materials range from leatherette to premium Nappa leather with various colour combinations.
The Luxury Hybrid AWD at $60,499 provides the core hybrid experience with premium materials and advanced safety features. This trim includes the full hybrid powertrain, HTRAC AWD, and comprehensive SmartSense technology suite.
The Ultimate Calligraphy Hybrid AWD at $65,699 adds premium Nappa leather, enhanced comfort features, and additional luxury appointments. This top trim maximizes both efficiency and premium appointments for families prioritizing luxury alongside fuel economy.
Both hybrid trims include the same powertrain specifications, so the choice depends on desired luxury features and interior appointments.
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid balances fuel efficiency with three-row capability for Ontario families who refuse to compromise on either. From the hybrid system's 900+ kilometre range to advanced safety technologies and premium comfort features, this SUV addresses real-world family transportation needs.
