Affordable, capable, and practical, the subcompact 2026 Subaru Crosstrek is also a passel of fun.

Cons

<ul>
<li>Base trim somewhat irrelevant</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

Every 2026 Crosstrek sources thrust from a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. We’ve put this mill through its paces on-road and off, coming away satisfied with its performance.
We are fans of the Crosstrek suspension. We like the way it handles rougher pavement and even unpaved surfaces. The Crosstrek’s steering remains sharp and responsive.
With decades of experience with all-wheel drive — <a href="http://www.kbb.com/subaru/">Subaru</a> was once considered quirky for its standard all-wheel drive — the Subaru Symmetrical AWD system operates transparently. It constantly adjusts the amount of torque to the wheels. Switching to X-Mode provides some additional all-wheel-drive response. It still doesn’t allow this SUV to tackle the most severe terrain, but it improves typical off-road experiences. We were impressed with its seamless reaction and relentless forward motion when driving it on dirt paths in hilly terrain. The Crosstrek’s hill-descent control — sort of slow-speed cruise control — is another bright spot. We found it tremendously effective, freeing our focus on steering.
In testing the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2024-subaru-crosstrek-wilderness-can-really-get-you-there/">Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness</a> model in Utah, we were surprised and delighted at how scrappy this most off-road-centric trim is. Its extra ground clearance, improved approach and departure angles, and enhanced off-road hardware and software enabled this model to eat up miles and miles of single-track dirt roads with ease. Moreover, it effortlessly ascended and descended technical dirt trails that might leave competitors in pieces. It also boasts a sophisticated dual-mode X-Mode feature with settings for dirt, deep snow, and mud. The Crosstrek Wilderness can tow up to 3,500 pounds — 2,000 more than the other trims.
Fuel Economy
The Crosstrek delivers an <a href="https://fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EPA</a>-estimated 29 mpg in mixed city/highway driving. Despite its standard all-wheel drive, this number is about average for the segment populated primarily with entry-level front-wheel-drive rivals. It betters the Ford Bronco Sport&#8217;s 27 mpg and matches the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mazda/cx-30/">Mazda CX-30</a>, both of which also boast standard all-wheel drive.

Yep, It’s a Crosstrek

Exterior

In a parking lot, at an intersection, or pounding down a dirt trail, there is no mistaking the Crosstrek for anything else, even at a distance. Although the details have evolved, the Crosstrek’s basic shape and design theme remain warmly familiar.
Standing out from the rest of the Crosstrek lineup, the Wilderness grade proffers a more distinct, rugged appearance. Additional ground clearance, aggressive cladding with &#8220;SUBARU&#8221; lettering on the back, yellow accents, and 17-inch black wheels spotlight the styling enhancements.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

Standard all-wheel drive 
Subaru’s standard Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is among the most sophisticated and capable in the segment. We find it is more than eager to tackle dirt and gravel trails.
8.7 inches of ground clearance 
We argue that a key contributor to the Crosstrek’s off-road superiority is its class-leading ground clearance.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 
Smartphone integration is even better when the connection happens automatically. In our experience, seamless connecting and no cables cluttering the center console are reasons enough to insist on wireless smartphone interfacing. Wireless phone charging is also available.
Large touchscreen 
All but the base Crosstrek feature an interior-dominating, vertically oriented 11.6-inch touchscreen and robust infotainment offering. We think it’s worth skipping the base model and its dual 7-inch screen setup. Sometimes bigger is better, and we find that the bigger touchscreen is much easier to see and operate.
EyeSight driver assists 
Every Crosstrek features the latest version of Subaru’s EyeSight collection of driver assist and safety technologies. It includes some of our must-have tech, such as automatic emergency braking and steering, adaptive cruise control with lane centering, and automatic high beams.
Steering Responsive LED Headlights 
The Crosstrek’s headlights turn in relation to the wheels, helping you see further into a corner. We&#8217;ve found this feature surprisingly helpful when navigating dark roads or turning into dark driveways.

Functional Cabin

Interior

We are in awe of just how quiet the cabin of the current Crosstrek is because previous generations wore their coarseness like a badge of honor. Those familiar with Crosstrek over the years should be equally surprised by the hush and pliant ride of today’s model.
Enhancing the cabin’s upgraded experience are the comfy front seats with loads of padding to absorb the abuse of going off pavement. There is still plenty of plastic haunting this roomy space. However, on the other hand, it does make it easier to wipe down. At 54.7 cubic feet and 36.5 inches, respectively, total cargo room and rear seat legroom are about average for the segment.

KBB Editors' Overview

Anchoring Subaru’s SUV lineup, the all-wheel drive, subcompact 2026 Subaru Crosstrek combines a go-anywhere attitude with solid fuel economy and adventurous flair. There is good reason why the Crosstrek is near the top of the heap of the brand’s bestsellers: It is a serious value, uncomplicated in its operation, impressively functional, and yet, quite comfortable. Bottom line: Everything about it appeals to us.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating the current collection of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-subcompact-suvs/">subcompact SUVs</a>, including the Subaru Crosstrek.
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
Subaru promises the 2026 Crosstrek in showrooms by the fall of 2025.

2026 Subaru Crosstrek Pricing

Pricing - Dynamic

The 2026 Subaru Crosstrek starts at $28,415. That’s for the base model, including the factory-to-dealer delivery charge. At the top of the Crosstrek pecking order is the Wilderness trim at $35,215.

</tbody>
</table>
These are manufacturer’s suggested retail prices (MSRP), including the factory-to-dealer delivery fee.

Pricing - Static

Historically, the Premium trim is the best-selling Crosstrek grade and the one we recommend because for the extra $1,000 it costs over the base model, you score a lot of upgrades. For example, bigger 17-inch wheels, a bigger 11.6-inch infotainment display, USB-C ports, and more are among the improvements.
Because of its standard all-wheel drive, the Crosstrek’s pricing is on the higher end of the subcompact SUV scale. In fact, there are only a couple of rivals, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/bronco-sport/">Ford Bronco Sport</a>, with higher starting prices.
Superb Resale Value
The Subaru Crosstrek is a resale value superstar, and could return $6,000 more to your pocket when you sell compared to subcompact SUVs at the bottom of the resale value charts. Recouping more money when you sell a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on your next one.

Engine & Transmission

Under the Hood

Subaru powers the Crosstrek with a 180-horsepower 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that also generates 178 lb-ft of torque. Keeping it simple, the &#8220;flat&#8221; engine is a Subaru trait, referring to the cylinders being horizontally opposed rather than arranged vertically in a line or opposed in a V shape. The advantage is a lower center of gravity, which enhances stability.
Every Crosstrek comes with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is an automatic transmission using belts and pulleys rather than gears. It does help stretch fuel. Subaru has evolved its CVT to soften the artificial shift points. You can even pretend to switch the gears in models with the steering wheel-mounted shift paddles.
3-year/36,000-mile Warranty
Subaru covers its vehicles with a 3-year/36,000-mile basic bumper-to-bumper limited warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain protection. This is on-par coverage among non-luxury automakers.
Safety
In safety and crash testing, the Crosstrek earned the <a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s</a> (NHTSA) highest overall score of a 5-Star rating. It struggled with the two new tests performed by the <a href="https://www.iihs.org/ratings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Insurance Institute for Highway Safety</a> (IIHS); however, this same generation had previously been included in the IIHS list of its Top Safety Pick (TSP) models.

What's new for

Topping the Crosstrek’s what’s-new list is its hybrid powertrain version, which we detail separately. More big news is that Subaru made the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine standard across all trim levels. This is a big upgrade for the base model. The Limited and Wilderness grades get a heated steering wheel as standard.

The Dodge Durango is showing its age, but we can’t help but love the V8 options that bring muscle car performance and attitude to this 3-row family SUV.

<ul>
<li>Oldest in its class</li>
<li>V8s are inefficient</li>
</ul>

In standard form, the 2026 Dodge Durango is powered by a 293-horsepower V6 engine matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The performance of the standard V6 is about average for this class. Our testing found acceleration to be more than adequate, even with a full complement of passengers. It’s the engine that makes the most sense for most drivers.
However, maybe you aren’t most drivers. What makes the Dodge Durango unique in its class of family haulers is the availability of multiple V8 engines. Perhaps it’s cliché, but it’s accurate to say that a V8 under the hood gives the Durango the performance of a muscle car with the practicality of a 3-row SUV.
A 360-hp 5.7-liter V8 powers the Durango R/T. In addition to stronger acceleration and a more satisfying exhaust note, this V8 unlocks the Durango’s maximum towing potential of up to 8,700 pounds when equipped with the Tow N Go package. Also, all-wheel drive, a sport suspension system, and performance steering come standard with every R/T model, enhancing this SUV’s performance.
The Dodge Durango’s SRT Hellcat Jailbreak version is the most powerful production SUV that’s not an electric vehicle (EV). Power comes from a stunning 710-hp supercharged 6.2-liter V8, which gives this 3-row family SUV a zero-to-60 mph time of less than four seconds. It delivers tire-roasting mayhem when you floor the accelerator, but the power is easier to manage than you might expect in daily driving duties.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
The 2026 Dodge Durango returns up to 20 combined mpg with its standard V6, no matter the number of drive wheels. This is a little below average for a base engine in this class. Meanwhile, the Hemi V8 that powers the R/T model returns up to 17 combined mpg, and the mighty SRT Hellcat Jailbreak only gets 13 mpg. The base V6 uses regular gas, midgrade is recommended for the R/T, and premium is recommended for the Hellcat.

Muscular Exterior

The Dodge Durango has a muscular appearance that matches its performance. It has a decidedly more aggressive look than the other minivan alternatives in its class. We kind of appreciate that it’s not following the off-road trend; it’s an SUV tuned for street performance, and it looks like one.

Powerful engines 
The Dodge Durango has powerful engines similar to those formerly available in the Dodge Charger and Challenger. These powerplants give the Durango thrilling performance, especially for a 3-row family SUV.
Muscular styling 
The Dodge Durango is no sleeper, with macho styling to match its performance. It gets a meaner look as you upgrade to the more powerful V8 engines and has exterior styling options like over-the-top stripes and head-turning paint options.
Uconnect 
The Dodge Durango’s Uconnect infotainment system is feature-rich and user-friendly. The standard system comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Furthermore, you can upgrade it with navigation, Amazon Alexa, wireless smartphone connectivity, and multiple options for premium audio systems.
Tow up to 8,700 pounds 
When properly equipped, the Dodge Durango boasts an impressive towing capacity of up to 8,700 pounds. That’s towing muscle comparable to more expensive full-size SUVs.
Seating for seven 
You won’t be far off if you call the Dodge Durango a 7-seat muscle car. Three-row seating comes standard. Captain’s chairs are standard in the SRT Hellcat and optional in lower trims.
R/T Blacktop Redline package 
The new-for-2026 R/T Blacktop Redline package rides on 20-inch black wheels and sports SRT front and rear spoilers, black &#8220;Hemi&#8221; and &#8220;Dodge&#8221; badging, red interior stitching, suede SRT performance seats, and laser-etched interior trim.

3-Row Interior

The 2026 Dodge Durango has a spacious and practical 3-row interior. We found the third row suitable for kids. With 33.5 inches of legroom, passenger space in the way back is average for this class. The cargo volume of 17.2 cubic feet behind the third row is a little tight, but we found much more room for groceries and strollers when we folded down the third row, yielding 43.3 cubic feet of room.
Available second-row captain’s chairs make the second row more comfortable and the third row easier to access. The captain’s chairs are standard in the SRT Hellcat model and optional in the lower trims.
In 2026, the Durango’s interior is starting to feel a bit dated compared to more modern rivals, like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade/">Hyundai Palisade</a> and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/pilot/">Honda Pilot</a>. However, you can make it feel more refined with options like Nappa leather seating and a Harman Kardon 19-speaker audio system.

Still in its third generation, which first came out for the 2011 model year, the Dodge Durango is the oldest model in the midsize SUV class. Although it’s showing its age, we can’t help but fall for its charms as a muscle car that’s been stretched out into a 3-row family vehicle. Its macho aesthetic is backed up by two V8 options, which have been a rarity in this segment for some time now. They not only give the Durango brawny performance and a satisfying sound, but also a class-leading max tow rating of up to 8,700 pounds. While its competitors lean into the off-road trend, the Dodge Durango is decidedly an SUV built for on-road performance in the way it looks, sounds, and moves.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the 2026 Dodge Durango.

The 2026 Dodge Durango starts at $40,490 for the base GT model with rear-wheel drive (RWD). All-wheel drive (AWD) adds $2,000 to the GT trim&#8217;s price. The V8-powered Durango R/T has standard all-wheel drive and starts at $51,990.

Before buying a Durango, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Dodge Durango resale value is about average for the segment. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<li>Tow N Go package returns</li>
</ul>

Engine and Transmission

Depending on your wallet, you can pick from three engines: a V6 and two V8s. All are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The Durango shines in two areas: towing and acceleration. You can tow up to 6,200 pounds with the V6 and up to 8,700 pounds with either V8. The former tow rating is above-average, and the latter is class-leading.
According to Dodge, the SRT Hellcat Jailbreak, with its supercharged V8, can reach 60 mph from a standstill in 3.5 seconds. We don’t need to check direct competitors’ specs to argue; none can beat that time.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
Dodge covers the Durango with a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is typical coverage for mainstream car brands, as is Durango’s powertrain coverage for five years or 60,000 miles.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>) gave the Dodge Durango an overall score of 4 Stars out of its best 5-Star rating. The standard safety technologies in every Durango include blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors, but not much else. Other tech can be found in some option packages. Nearly every rival provides more advanced safety technology as standard.

So much for the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/dodge-says-goodbye-to-the-durango-hemi-with-last-call-special-editions/">&#8220;Last Call&#8221; editions</a> of the V8-powered 2025 Durango. The Durango <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/dodge-durango-soldiers-on-into-2026/">continues to offer the V8-powered R/T trim for 2026</a>. The Hellcat also returns, this time in the form of the highly customizable SRT Hellcat Jailbreak trim. Additionally, a new R/T Blacktop Redline package is available, there are some new wheel options, and the Tow N Go package is back as an individual option after a one-year hiatus. Tow N Go is a towing package that increases the Durango’s maximum towing capacity to 8,700 pounds.

2026BMW X3 Archives - Kelley Blue Book

luxury Archives - Kelley Blue Book

The 2026 BMW X3 offers edgy style and fresh tech in one of the best compact luxury SUVs around, whether you’re shopping for family or fun.

Fans of engaging SUVs know the BMW X3 has always had a certain charm. While it won’t shame BMW’s own sedans, it’s often surprising just how close the X3 comes to sedan-like agility and performance. Yet despite the X3’s spry nature, it also rides well.
For this latest generation, BMW says it has expanded the X3’s bandwidth even further, with more agile handling and a more comfortable ride quality.
The entry-level 255-horsepower X3 is plenty quick, accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph in just six seconds. Those seeking more muscle to complement the X3’s handling will appreciate the 393-hp X3 M50 and its ability to hit 60 mph in 4.4 seconds &#8212; about 0.2 of a second quicker than the pricier Porsche Macan.
Fuel Economy
Despite the quick acceleration and ample power, the X3 is also efficient. The 2025 model rates 29 mpg combined in base form, or 27 mpg combined achieved by the M50 variant. The 2026 model hasn’t yet been rated, but it is likely to return identical figures.

Interesting Exterior

The fourth-generation X3’s design will probably not be everyone’s cup of tea, but that’s often the hallmark of good design. Bland is boring, and boring has no place in the world of luxury performance SUVs. The new X3 is most certainly anything but boring, whether to look at or to drive.

Standard navigation
All X3 luxury SUVs come with the latest in BMW navigation, complete with cloud-based maps and live traffic information. The system also integrates with the available head-up display and augmented-reality video system.
BMW Operating System 9
Powering many of the X3’s tech upgrades behind the scenes, this system is the latest from BMW, featuring over-the-air (OTA) updates, a digital assistant, and bonuses like games and media streaming. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard.
Parking Assistant Professional
Although the X3 is a nimble machine, parking in tight urban spaces can sometimes be a challenge. That’s where this optional system comes in, taking over for the driver, or even parking with the driver outside the car, observing. The updated system takes curbs, road markings, and the position of other vehicles into account.
BMW Maneuver Assist
This feature of the Parking Assistant Professional package stores up to 10 tricky parking spots and the maneuvers required to enter and exit them. This makes for quicker, smoother parking on subsequent visits.
Traffic Jam Assistant
Another optional driver-assistance feature, this takes the load off the driver in stop-and-go traffic, providing hands-free driving for some of the most attention-demanding situations.

Class-Leading Interior

We expect the previous X3’s strengths to carry forward into the fourth-generation model, meaning it exudes the same feel of quality and high-tech elegance we’re all accustomed to, but with fresh style and new features and equipment.
The X3 has plenty of space, topping its class for legroom and cargo volume. The 2026 X3 has 31.5 cubic feet of space behind the rear seats and 67.1 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. Compare that to the Audi Q5’s 25.8/54 cubic feet or the Mercedes-Benz GLC’s 21.9/56.3 cubic feet.

Luxurious and practical with a sporty edge, the 2026 BMW X3 is one of our favorites in the compact luxury SUV realm. Its strong combination of technology, fresh design, and ample space for the class makes it an even smarter choice after last year’s generational updates. If you’re looking for a right-sized premium SUV that doesn’t give up much to larger, more expensive models, the 2026 X3 is a great place to start.

Despite the all-new model arriving just last year, pricing is up only incrementally compared to the previous generation, keeping the X3 competitive against key rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/q5/">Audi Q5</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/rx/">Lexus RX</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/glc/">Mercedes-Benz GLC</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volvo/xc60/">Volvo XC60</a>, all of which are priced to start within a couple thousand dollars of the X3, although the Q5 does offer a slightly less expensive base model. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/macan/2025/">Porsche Macan</a> is somewhat smaller and sportier, and starts considerably higher. Lower-priced alternatives to the 2026 BMW X3 include the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/acura/rdx/">Acura RDX</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/gv70/2025/">Genesis GV70</a>, and the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/nx/">Lexus NX.</a>
Before buying a new X3 compact luxury SUV, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to see what you should be paying. The X3’s resale values for the new generation are still being determined, but the previous model has held its value well, performing substantially better than the class average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

The standard drivetrain in the 2026 X3 is a turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque. Performance fans will appreciate the upgrade to the X3 M50 and its turbocharged 6-cylinder engine rated for 393 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. All 2026 BMW X3 models have standard all-wheel drive, which BMW calls xDrive. Both versions of the X3 sport an 8-speed automatic transmission and mild-hybrid components.
The X3 30 xDrive can tow up to 4,001 pounds, while the M50 xDrive variant can tow 4,850 pounds.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical for European luxury car makers. Roadside assistance is included for the same period with unlimited mileage. Scheduled maintenance is free for three years or 36,000 miles, which is more generous than some.
Safety
The 2025 X3 scored four stars in crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (<a href="https://www.nhtsa.gov/ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHTSA</a>). Standard safety technology in the new X3 includes forward collision mitigation, lane-keeping assistance, and active blind-spot monitoring.

What's New for 2026

Completely redesigned for a new generation last model year, the 2026 BMW X3 is expected to move forward with few changes. The X3 is now in its fourth generation.

2026Hyundai Palisade

2026Hyundai Palisade 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.

<ul>
<li>Middling performance and fuel economy</li>
</ul>

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). This V6 is a little smaller than the one in the last generation, but its output is very similar. Like the outgoing Hyundai Palisade, the new one 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. Some turbocharged competitors in this class have more pep in their step, but there&#8217;s something satisfying and reassuring about the growl and pull of a V6 like the one in the Palisade.
The new XRT Pro model takes the Palisade to a new level of off-road capability that it&#8217;s never seen before. We got to test it off-road and came away impressed with the kind of terrain it can tackle. Its standard all-wheel-drive system, extra ground clearance, and all-terrain tires give the XRT Pro the off-road chops it needs to stay competitive with rugged rivals like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/pilot/">Honda Pilot</a> TrailSport, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/traverse/">Chevy Traverse</a> Z71, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/ford/explorer/">Ford Explorer</a> Tremor.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Although the Hyundai Palisade&#8217;s V6 got a little smaller with the 2026 redesign, its fuel economy somehow got slightly worse. It&#8217;s rated at 19 city/25 highway/21 combined mpg with front-wheel drive and 18 city/24 highway/20 combined mpg with all-wheel drive. Those combined ratings are one mpg worse than the 2025 Palisade. However, Hyundai estimates an impressive 34 combined mpg rating for the upcoming Palisade Hybrid.

Bold Exterior

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade gets a bold new look. Stacked LED blocks operating as DRLs and turn signals make up the front and rear light signatures, while pronounced wheel arches give the body a little muscle. We&#8217;d have to break out our tape measure to confirm, but we&#8217;re pretty sure the redesigned Palisade has the most square inches of front turn signal of any new vehicle, for what that&#8217;s worth.
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.

Dual 12.3-inch displays 
These big, high-tech, and user-friendly displays serve as the digital gauge cluster and infotainment display. We&#8217;ve loved them in every Hyundai model we&#8217;ve tested, and the new Palisade is no exception.
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. We can confirm that it delivers the goods off-road.
Relaxation seating 
Available Relaxation seating brings recliners to the front- and second-row 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.
Hyundai Digital Key 2.0 
Can&#8217;t find your keys? No problem. With the new Hyundai Palisade, 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.

Spacious Interior

When we first climbed into the cabin of the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade, we instantly noticed a family resemblance to the brand&#8217;s flagship EV, the Hyundai Ioniq 9. This is a good thing. The seats are comfortable, the materials are lovely in the Calligraphy trim, and the technology is cutting-edge. It gets the basics right with the dual 12.3-inch displays that have become commonplace in Hyundai models, while throwing in perks like 100-watt USB-C ports and available reclining seats for some of the passengers.
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. As for climate controls, they&#8217;re handled through a dedicated screen that&#8217;s user-friendly thanks to a thoughtfully designed center console with a spot to rest your wrist while using the controls.
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade got bigger on the outside, which translated to more space inside. The third row of seats and the cargo area are both a little bigger than they were in the outgoing model. What Hyundai calls a &#8220;reimagined third row&#8221; includes available power sliding and reclining third-row seats, USB-C ports on both sides, and bigger windows, yielding better visibility for the passengers and the driver. We tried sliding the third-row seats all the way back and were impressed that there was still decent cargo space behind them.
Speaking of cargo space, there&#8217;s 19.1 cubic feet behind the third row, 46.3 cubic feet behind the second row, and 86.7 cubic feet when all of the rear seats are folded down. As for leg room, there&#8217;s 43 inches in the second row and 32.1 inches in the third row. These interior dimensions are on the bigger side of the midsize SUV class, but a few options that are roomier still include the Chevy Traverse, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/toyota/grand-highlander/">Toyota Grand Highlander</a>, and <a href="https://www.kbb.com/volkswagen/atlas/">Volkswagen Atlas</a>.

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 <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-3-row-suvs/">3-row SUVs</a>, and it&#8217;s been one of our favorites in its class ever since. Now, the Palisade has gotten even better for 2026 as it enters its second generation. It 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, an available Palisade Hybrid (<a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/palisade-hybrid/">reviewed separately</a>), what Hyundai calls a &#8220;reimagined third row,&#8221; and an off-road-ready XRT Pro model that&#8217;s more than just an appearance package. We&#8217;re impressed; the Palisade is a must-test-drive in the midsize 3-row SUV class.
We’ve spent hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/suv/best-mid-size-suvs/">midsize SUVs</a>, including the Hyundai Palisade.

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade starts at $40,430 for the base SE model. The top Calligraphy trim kicks off at $55,555.

<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. 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 2026 Hyundai Palisade is <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/2026-hyundai-palisade-gets-hybrid-option-handsome-look/">all new</a>. It enters a new generation with a fresh new look that&#8217;s sure to turn heads with a unique light signature and body lines that are boxy yet distinct.

One of the highlights of the new interior is the dual panoramic displays comprising a digital gauge cluster and a feature-rich infotainment display. Another highlight of the 2026 redesign is the first-ever XRT Pro trim, a capable off-roader with a rugged appearance package, extra ground clearance, all-terrain tires, additional drive modes, and more.
