The all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade improves on the strengths of this midsize 3-row SUV with more space, updated tech, and hybrid efficiency.

Cons

Driving Impressions

Studly Wrapper

Exterior

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid gets a bold look in line with the non-hybrid model. Stacked LED blocks make up the front and rear light signatures while pronounced wheel arches give the body a little muscle. A rugged-looking XRT Pro model is part of the Palisade&#8217;s redesign, but it&#8217;s not available with the hybrid powertrain.

FAQs

Favorite Features

Hybrid powertrain 
This is the first time the wonderful Hyundai Palisade has ever offered a hybrid option. On paper, it makes more power and torque than the V6 in the non-hybrid Palisade, and it can tow up to 4,000 pounds. We can&#8217;t wait to test it.
Dual 12.3-inch displays 
These big, high-tech, and user-friendly displays serve as the digital gauge cluster and infotainment display. We love them in every Hyundai model we&#8217;ve tested.
Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay 
These essential smartphone connectivity features make it effortless to bring your maps, music, and more to the screen in the car without taking your phone out of your purse or pocket. It&#8217;s always good to see them come standard.
Relaxation seating 
Available Relaxation seating brings recliners to the second-row and front passenger seats of the Palisade Hybrid. Power reclining seats with leg supports used to be reserved for expensive luxury vehicles, but now they&#8217;re available in a Hyundai family SUV.
100-watt capable USB-C ports 
Pretty much every new car has <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-advice/vehicles-with-usb-c-chargers/">USB-C ports</a>, but the ones in the Palisade Hybrid are capable of charging at speeds of up to 100 watts. That means faster charging for your devices, and it can even keep a laptop powered up through demanding tasks like gaming and video streaming.
Hyundai Digital Key 2.0 
Can&#8217;t find your keys? No problem. With the new Hyundai Palisade Hybrid, you can use your phone as a key. Your smartphone or smartwatch can lock, unlock, and start this SUV, and you can even share digital keys with family and friends.

Upscale Interior

Interior

We&#8217;re eager to climb into the cabin of the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid. Interior space and seat comfort are strong suits of the outgoing model, and the new model should be even better in those important criteria. We never cared for the gearshift buttons in the Palisade, and the new model replaces those with a steering column shifter that turns like an old-fashioned key for shifting into drive and reverse. We also like the dual 12.3-inch displays when we&#8217;ve tested them in other <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/">Hyundai models</a>, so we welcome their addition to the Palisade.
Hyundai says the new Palisade has a &#8220;reimagined third row.&#8221; In addition to a little extra space in the way-back seats, it has bigger windows back there, letting in more natural light, which should help to make it feel a little less cramped while improving visibility for the driver. Interestingly, the Palisade Hybrid&#8217;s second row has less leg room than the non-hybrid by about an inch and a half, but the cargo space and third-row leg room are the same. Something to keep in mind if you want maximum interior space.
A few new interior options we look forward to testing include Relaxation seats (recliners with leg supports), 100-watt fast-charging USB-C ports, and a Bose 14-speaker surround audio system. Since Blue SEL Premium is the base trim in the Palisade Hybrid, a few upscale standard features include H-Tex leatherette seats, second-row captain&#8217;s chairs (a bench is optional), heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, rear sun shades, and a surround-view camera.

KBB Editors' Overview

You could&#8217;ve called the Hyundai Palisade the rookie of the year when it first arrived on the scene in 2020. It was as good as or better than well-established veterans in the competitive class of midsize 3-row SUVs, and it&#8217;s been one of our favorites in its class ever since. Now, the Palisade is getting even better for 2026 as it enters its second generation. The first-ever Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is part of the redesign, and a non-hybrid version (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/2026/">reviewed separately</a>) will still be available. The new Palisade stays true to form with a spacious and upscale 3-row interior, class-leading warranty coverage, and luxurious upper trims but adds a modern new look, updated technology, and what Hyundai calls a &#8220;reimagined third row.&#8221;

Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

We estimate that the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid will start at about $48,000 for the base Blue SEL Premium trim. This would be a big jump in starting price over the non-hybrid Palisade, but that version has the more affordable SE and SEL trims slotted below its non-Blue SEL Premium trim (&#8220;Blue&#8221; means &#8220;hybrid&#8221; in Hyundai-speak). For the Limited and Calligraphy trims, expect to pay around $3,000 extra for the hybrid powertrain over their V6-powered counterparts.

Under the Hood

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid&#8217;s power comes from a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine mated to a pair of electric motors and a 6-speed automatic transmission, which produces a net output of 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, and all-wheel drive (AWD) is optional. For reference, the V6 in the non-hybrid Palisade produces 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. The Palisade Hybrid has a max tow rating of 4,000 pounds.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
We&#8217;d be remiss if we didn&#8217;t mention that the 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid will continue the Hyundai tradition of class-leading warranty coverage. It&#8217;s backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty and 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, matched only by the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/kia/telluride/">Kia Telluride</a> in this class.

What's new for 2026

The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-hyundai-palisade-gets-hybrid-option-handsome-look/">all-new for 2026</a> as part of the Palisade&#8217;s second-generation debut. The first-gen Palisade first came out in 2020, and this is the first time it&#8217;s offering a hybrid powertrain. The new Palisade has a fresh look that&#8217;s sure to turn heads with a unique light signature and body lines that are boxy yet distinct. The already-roomy interior gets a little bigger, and it&#8217;s fully redesigned. One of the highlights of the new interior is the dual panoramic displays comprising a digital gauge cluster and a feature-rich infotainment display.

$38,500 - $43,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade improves on the strengths of this midsize 3-row SUV with more space, updated tech, and a rugged new off-road trim.

Power, Ride, and Handling

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is powered by a 287-horsepower V6 engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> says it&#8217;s a &#8220;newly developed&#8221; V6, but, on paper, it appears to effectively be carried over from the previous generation. In our experience, the outgoing Hyundai Palisade does an excellent job of providing a minivan-like driving experience in the form of an SUV. That’s not an insult — this is a comfortable family cruiser on city streets and highway road trips alike. We expect similar driving characteristics from the 2026 model.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2025 Hyundai Palisade returns up to 19 city/26 highway/22 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 19 city/24 highway/21 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. We expect similar ratings for the 2026 model, but a new hybrid option promises greater efficiency.

Bold Exterior

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade gets a bold new look. Stacked LED blocks make up the front and rear light signatures while pronounced wheel arches give the body a little muscle. The look changes quite a bit with the XRT Pro model, which has extra ground clearance, lower body cladding, unique wheels, and the red recovery hooks that are mandatory for off-roaders.

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Dual 12.3-inch displays 
These big, high-tech, and user-friendly displays serve as the digital gauge cluster and infotainment display. We love them in every Hyundai model we&#8217;ve tested.
Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay 
These essential smartphone connectivity features make it effortless to bring your maps, music, and more to the screen in the car without taking your phone out of your purse or pocket. It&#8217;s always good to see them come standard.
XRT Pro trim 
All-new for 2026, the Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro is an off-roader with enhancements like standard all-wheel drive, 8.4 inches of ground clearance, all-terrain tires, Mud, Sand, and Snow modes, and a rugged appearance package that improves approach and departure angles.
Relaxation seating 
Available Relaxation seating brings recliners to the second-row and front passenger seats of the Palisade. Power reclining seats with leg supports used to be reserved for expensive luxury vehicles, but now they&#8217;re available in a Hyundai family SUV.
100-watt capable USB-C ports 
Pretty much every new car has USB-C ports, but the ones in the Palisade are capable of charging at speeds of up to 100 watts. That means faster charging for your devices, and it can even keep a laptop powered up through demanding tasks like gaming and video streaming.

We estimate that the 2026 Hyundai Palisade will be priced similarly to the 2025 model. Pricing should begin around the $39,000 mark.

Power for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade comes from a 3.5-liter V6 mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This powertrain is rated at 287 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque, par for the course in this class. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is optional. Notably, there&#8217;s an all-new Palisade Hybrid this year, powered by a turbo hybrid engine with a net output of 329 hp and 339 lb-ft of torque.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
We&#8217;d be remiss if we didn&#8217;t mention that the 2026 Hyundai Palisade will continue the Hyundai tradition of class-leading warranty coverage.

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-hyundai-palisade-gets-hybrid-option-handsome-look/">all new</a>.

$53,500 - $63,499 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 Genesis G70 is one of our favorite compact luxury cars for a multitude of reasons.

Power, Ride and Handling

The entry-level G70 employs a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower, making it the most muscular base engine of the class. It’s able to accelerate from a standstill to 60 mph in about 5.8 seconds. For comparison, the BMW 330i can channel its 255 hp to hit 60 mph in an impressive 5.4 seconds.
A twin-turbocharged 365-hp V6 propels the G70 3.3T. The closest BMW 3 Series in terms of muscle is the M340i with 382 hp &#8212; but that car is about $10,000 more.
The good thing about both G70 engines, we’ve found, is that they deliver their maximum thrust at low revs. Darting into a gap in traffic is satisfyingly swift. For the most part, they also operate with a quiet efficiency. It’s only when Sport or Sport+ modes are selected that they become more vocal.
We’ve driven the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/power-and-panache-driving-the-2024-genesis-g70/">G70 with the 2.5-liter turbocharged engine as well as the larger V6</a>, and discovered that the 2.5T is easily powerful enough and an excellent choice. If anything, we prefer that the front end feels a bit lighter, for a finer overall balance.
Every new G70 has good outward vision, and the front seats hold their occupants reassuringly in place even through quick corners. The G70 feels stable, responsive, calm, and collected. The standard Brembo brakes are also confidence-inspiring.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The G70 isn’t renowned for its sparing use of gasoline. The 2.5T engine manages 24 mpg in combined city/highway driving (with rear-wheel drive) or 23 combined mpg (all-wheel drive). To compare, the rear-drive BMW 330i can achieve 31 mpg combined, although most of the class is closer to the G70.
The 3.3T is capable of only 20 mpg combined, subtract a mile per gallon if all-wheel drive is in the mix. Premium gasoline is required for each engine.

Luxe Exterior

Like a BMW 3 Series (the benchmark for this class), the 2026 G70 has a relatively long hood, plus short overhangs at each end. We think the overall look is effective and definitely appropriate for the luxury sector.

Navigation-based smart cruise control 
This standard adaptive cruise control feature uses information from the navigation system to determine when there are curves coming up, and can adjust speed automatically. When used with the lane-centering Highway Driving Assist feature (also standard), it lightens the driver’s workload. We’ve found that driver aids in all Genesis vehicles work exceptionally well.
Brembo brakes 
These are standard on every new G70. Brembo is a highly respected Italian company that also supplies Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Aston Martin.
All-wheel drive 
A popular option, all-wheel drive brings greater surefootedness in wet and dry conditions. A heated steering wheel is also part of the deal.
Genesis Digital Key 
Using the Genesis app, users can lock/unlock and start the 2026 G70. This works with Apple iPhones and Android phones, and we like its convenience.
Lexicon audio 
Go into any world-class recording studio, and Lexicon equipment will be used for pretty much every session. The optional 15-speaker, 660-watt Lexicon system in the G70 can make occupants feel like they’re sitting inside one of those studios. We think it’s truly excellent. This is standard in the 3.3T models and the 2.5T Prestige.
Blind-Spot View Monitor 
Better than regular blind-spot monitoring (which is standard across the 2026 G70 range), the Blind-Spot View Monitor shows images in the instrument cluster from side cameras. This provides greater reassurance when the driver is about to change lanes. Part of the 3.3T Sport Prestige package, this is one of those features we miss when we’re driving other cars.

Quality Interior

Although the G70 is a relative bargain, there’s no indication of that in the cabin. It’s furnished with high-quality materials and assembled to luxury-car levels. Standard equipment includes a dedicated touchscreen for the climate control system, USB-C ports, rear side airbags, and a frameless rearview mirror.
The G70’s 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen isn’t even the second biggest in the class, but it’s perfectly usable. Rear passengers will find that the 34.8 inches of legroom is probably adequate as long as they aren’t tall. They won’t find much more in any rival premium compact sedan. But the G70’s trunk area of 10.5 cubic feet is on the stingy side.

Admittedly, the luxury company sedan class is not as well-populated as it once was. If this was a battle, then the strongest contenders would be the last ones standing. The Genesis G70 is just such a contender. We could talk about how <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/">Genesis</a> packs a lot of standard equipment into the G70, making it an intriguing value proposition. But it’s not just that. The G70 has plenty more going for it, like build quality, technology, class-best warranties, and the way it drives. Check out virtually any of our owner reviews for a deeper understanding of how good the G70 really is.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-compact-cars/">compact luxury cars</a>, including the Genesis G70.

The 2026 Genesis G70 has a starting sticker price of $44,200, with the range-topping 3.3T Sport Prestige AWD kicking off at $56,350.

Among the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=476955|476964|476962">G70 </a>trims, we recommend the entry-level 2.5T with rear-wheel drive (RWD). It’s the most popular choice and comes with a lot of standard equipment.
It’s also worth checking out the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/3-series/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BMW 3 Series</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mercedes-Benz C-Class,</a> and the new-last-year <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a5/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Audi A5</a> (which isn’t a sedan, but a sleek hatchback). They do cost a bit more, however.
Before buying a new Genesis G70 compact luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values are above the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

A turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine goes into the entry-level G70, developing 300 hp and 311 lb-ft of torque. The more muscular option is a twin-turbocharged 3.3-liter V6 creating 365 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque. In both cases, rear-wheel drive is the default setup, with all-wheel drive offered as an option. And all transmission duties are handled by an 8-speed automatic.
<h3>5-Year/60,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
The new-vehicle warranty from Genesis lasts five years or 60,000 miles, whichever happens first, with roadside assistance for five years at unlimited mileage. The powertrain is covered for 10 years or 100,000 miles. These terms are among the best in the industry. Genesis also includes three years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The G70 was named a 2024 Top Safety Pick+ by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (<a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IIHS</a>) &#8212; the institute’s highest accolade. It also took a top score of Good in an updated small overlap front impact test. Standard safety equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

We’re going to break this up into additions and subtractions. Capri Blue joins the list of paint finishes. The 2.5T models are now eligible for a beige interior color. Starting from the 2.5T with all-wheel drive (AWD), the G70 comes with a heated steering wheel. The 2.5T Prestige gains a 360-degree camera system (this system is standard in both 3.3T models), plus a new alloy wheel design, and the option of aluminum interior accents.
The power-operated trunk feature is no longer available in any 2026 G70, which we think is a mistake on the company’s part. Nor does any variant offer the nice Nappa leather upholstery/simulated-suede headliner combo. The 2.5T loses the Gray and Sport interior decor choices, while the 2.5T Prestige also bids farewell to alloy sport pedals, and the dark chrome grille treatment. The 3.3T no longer offers an adaptive suspension. Tasman Blue and Burleigh Blue fall off the list of paint finishes.
Last year’s 2.5T Sport Prestige trim is now just the 2.5T Prestige. And the previous 3.3T Sport Advanced trim has been discontinued.
