The Hyundai Palisade continues to evolve, and the difference between the 2025 and 2026 models is exciting. At Lancaster Hyundai, we’re excited to show how the latest redesign pushes this three-row SUV into a new era of comfort and technology. When you’re in Lancaster or nearby in East Petersburg, you’ll notice that the new Palisade feels bolder than ever.
Perfect for PA Life
Drivers from Harrisburg and Reading will also appreciate how Hyundai’s refinements make long highway trips smoother and more connected. And for families commuting from Lebanon or York, the added efficiency and upgraded interior design offer even more everyday practicality.
Bigger, Bolder, and More Tech-Forward
The 2026 Palisade is a complete redesign. It’s 2.5 inches longer overall and rides on a 2.7-inch longer wheelbase than the 2025 version. That added space means more legroom in the second and third rows, along with a more commanding stance on the road. Inside, the cabin layout is more upright and modern, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays and a clean, premium finish across all trims.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2025 Palisade is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 291 horsepower, while the 2026 swaps in a 3.5-liter V6 producing 287 horsepower. The addition of a hybrid powertrain is huge, combining a 2.5-liter turbo engine with an electric motor for 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. For off-road explorers, the XRT Pro trim adds standard all-wheel drive, improved ground clearance, and upgraded suspension for weekend adventures across Pennsylvania.
Pricing and Value
The 2026 Palisade starts just above $40,000 with destination fees, offering more standard technology and comfort features across the board. Hybrid and off-road trims sit higher on the price scale but deliver exceptional value through innovation and versatility. The 2025 Palisade, meanwhile, remains a fantastic buy for shoppers seeking a refined, well-equipped SUV at a slightly lower price point.
