2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

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.

Cons

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

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

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

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.

FAQs

Our Favorite Features and Tech

Favorite Features

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

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>.

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 <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.

Under the Hood

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. It can tow up to 5,000 pounds, also about average for a midsize SUV. 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. 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.
<h3>Safety</h3>
A few standard safety features included as standard in every 2026 Hyundai Palisade include automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with safe exit assist, driver attention warning, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, Highway Driving Assist, and lane-keeping assist.

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. 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. 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.

In luxury coupe or convertible form, the 2026 Lexus LC is well built, well equipped, and superb at what it does.

<ul>
<li>Heavy</li>
<li>Small trunks</li>
</ul>

Power, Ride and Handling

The LC 500 is energized by a 471-horsepower V8. Sprinting from standstill to 60 mph happens in an impressive 4.4 seconds, and the engine sounds glorious in the process — yet never obnoxious. To compare, the BMW 840i Coupe with a 335-hp 6-cylinder engine is 0.3 of a second slower.
As a grand tourer rather than a true driver’s machine (like a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/porsche/911/">Porsche 911</a>), we’ve found that the LC definitely has its own fine qualities. It’s based on the same platform as the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/ls/">LS</a> flagship luxury sedan, after all. The LC is reassuringly stable at high speeds. And the standard brake-based torque vectoring, where the inside rear wheel goes around a corner slower than its outside counterpart, helps the car stay tidy in the curves.
We think the car’s heft (both variants weigh over 4,000 pounds) tends to discourage more aggressive driving. For journeys through scenic areas, however, the LC can be a perfect companion. The comprehensive array of standard safety features, meanwhile, is both confidence-inspiring and helpful on freeways and in cities alike.
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
Regardless of body style, the LC 500 achieves 18 mpg in combined city/highway driving. There isn’t a direct BMW 8 Series rival to compare. For example, the 840i is rated at 24 mpg combined, but is less powerful than the LC 500. The BMW M850i xDrive gets 19 mpg combined, yet has 523 horses and all-wheel drive as standard.

Two Body Styles

It might just be that 2-door cars invariably look a bit special. Or perhaps the Lexus design philosophy has found its perfect vehicle of expression in the 2026 LC. It’s available as a coupe with a fixed metal roof or a convertible with a power-operated soft-top (which takes only about 15 seconds to open or close, and can do so at speeds up to 31 mph). The coupe’s roof doesn’t have to be all-metal. The alternatives are glass or carbon fiber.
The Inspiration Series introduces Smoke Gray Matte for the coupe and the light gray Wind finish for the convertible. There’s also some blacked-out exterior accents.

Panoramic View Monitor
One of many standard features, this provides a bird’s-eye view of the LC and its surroundings — invaluable when maneuvering.
Intuitive Park Assist
Another standard feature, this rather flashy term means parking sensors at both ends.
Connected Services
The 2026 LC offers several remote functions, such as locking/unlocking, starting, stolen vehicle location, fuel tank levels, and guest driver alerts.
Mark Levinson audio
One of a few options, but worth having, in our opinion. This 13-speaker, 915-watt surround-sound system was developed especially for the LC. It even knows when the convertible’s roof is down and recalibrates its settings accordingly.
Dynamic Handling package
Even though the LC is not a precision sports machine like some Porsches, we would still say this options bundle is worth considering. As well as a limited-slip differential and a sportier rear suspension, it also includes rear-wheel steering and variable-ratio steering — both of which enhance the driving experience at high speed and maneuverability at low speed.
Head-up display
Projecting information onto the windshield means the driver’s eyes don’t have to stray from the road ahead to pick up crucial information. We also think this optional feature seems fighter-pilot cool.

Plush Interior

It’s a Lexus, so the 2026 LC is predictably brimful of quality materials put together with wonderful attention to detail and a high degree of craftsmanship. The dashboard houses an analog clock, the driver’s footwell has aluminum pedals, and the passenger side of the center console morphs into a grab handle.
Space is plentiful up front, although the two rear seats are better for weekend bags than they are for humans, especially since the trunk’s volume is only 5.4 cubic feet at best. The LC 500 convertible has only 3.4 cubic feet — barely enough for one set of golf clubs.
A Bespoke Build program applies to both coupe and convertible models, with a blue/white color scheme exclusive to the convertible. This year&#8217;s Inspiration Series brings center console badges, plus white/black decor for the coupe’s cabin, or Saddle Tan/White semi-aniline leather in the convertible.

One of the few constants in life is, ironically, the fact that nothing remains constant. That applies to the automotive world as much as anything else. Even so, we’re glad to see the Lexus LC luxury coupe and convertible cars remain in production for another year.
Based on the same platform as the LS large luxury sedan, the LC embodies refinement and exquisite taste. It’s not the ultimate driver’s car, but that’s hardly the LC’s mission. Instead, it excels as a glorious way of driving to wonderful locations. Or maybe just the mall. It also has those typical <a href="https://www.kbb.com/lexus/">Lexus</a> attributes that somehow seem to be other constants in this uncertain world — like reliability, build quality, and a more-than-bearable dealer experience.
We’ve logged hundreds of hours driving and evaluating this generation of <a href="https://www.kbb.com/cars/best-luxury-convertibles/">luxury coupes and convertibles</a>, including the Lexus LC.

The 2026 Lexus LC has a starting sticker price of $101,700, with the range-topping LC 500 Convertible kicking off at $109,200.

&nbsp;

A couple of alternatives are the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/mercedes-amg-sl/">Mercedes-AMG SL</a>, starting higher than the priciest LC. Or the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/8-series/2025/">BMW 8 Series</a>, which comes in below the LC — although with less power. Of course, the opportunity is there to spend much more on these German rivals to acquire higher levels of equipment and muscle.
Before buying a new LC luxury coupe or convertible, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. Resale values may not be a major consideration at this level, but the LC performs respectably here. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

<ul>
<li>Sleek and sumptuous</li>
<li>Two body styles</li>
<li>Plenty of standard equipment</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Limited-edition Inspiration Series</li>
<li>New colors</li>
<li>Hybrid coupe discontinued</li>
</ul>

The LC 500 coupe and convertible employ a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 developing 471 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. This goes solely to the rear wheels through a 10-speed automatic transmission.
4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty
The Lexus new-vehicle warranty of four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first, is usual for the luxury sector. The 6-year/70,000-mile powertrain warranty is a little better than most. The first two scheduled services (six months/5,000 miles and 12 months/10,000 miles) are also free.
Safety
The LC hasn’t been crash-tested by any independent agencies in the United States, but in light of the usual Lexus build quality and safety features, we don’t think this should deter any potential buyers. Standard equipment includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian/cyclist detection, intersection assistance, and blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert.

What's new for

Lexus has a limited run of Inspiration Series LC 500 cars for North America, with 200 coupes and 350 convertibles. The coupe comes in Smoke Matte Gray, while the soft-top has a light gray Wind finish. Both hues are new to the LC lineup. The hybrid version of the coupe (the LC 500h) <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/lexus-keeps-the-lc-model-for-2026-but-kills-the-hybrid/">has been discontinued</a>, and we aren’t expecting the LC in general to last much longer.

Supersized in both performance and mass, the 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup is fast, trail-ready, and has some impressive tricks up its sleeve.

<ul>
<li>High price</li>
<li>Substantial weight</li>
</ul>

It seems physically impossible for a 9,000-plus-pound truck to be able to accelerate from zero to 60 mph in just over three seconds. Yet that’s what the Hummer EV Pickup can do with the tri-motor powertrain in the 3X and the Watts to Freedom launch system. That makes driving this truck thrilling. The Hummer EV is also surprisingly agile, thanks to its standard 4-wheel steering. The less powerful dual-motor 2X should provide more than enough power for most drivers. We are fans of one-pedal driving provided by some EVs, including the Hummer EV Pickup.
Yes, it’s large, but the Hummer EV Pickup is not as intimidating to drive as you might think. Behind the wheel, it feels smooth and comfortable, like an upscale full-size truck. It manages all that power and torque quite nicely, as the power is easy to modulate. But the Hummer EV Pickup is heavy, which you don’t feel as much while driving or regular cornering. Be ready to brake early when bringing it to a stop. That’s a handy tip when driving any heavy vehicle.
The Hummer is very well-equipped for the dirt, but the optional Extreme Off-Road Package takes it up a notch. This option bundle includes 35-inch mud terrain tires, front and rear e-lockers, full skid plates, front and rear UltraVision cameras, and more. The result is a truck that can handle just about any terrain.

Eye-Catching Exterior

Rugged and imposing, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup looks every bit like an heir to both the military Hummer and the Hummer H2, but more streamlined and futuristic. Its unique style makes it stand out among the other electric trucks, as well as everything else on the road. The fun Easter eggs continue on the exterior. An “H” logo is hidden in the taillights and rear tailgate brake light, there’s an “HEV” logo on the wheels, and there are American flags on the C-pillars. Fans of the 6-function MultiPro tailgate that’s available on the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/GMC/sierra/">GMC Sierra</a> will be happy to know it comes standard on the Hummer EV Pickup. In addition, the rear window slides down, making it easy to carry long, wide cargo. You can remove the optional Infinity Roof&#8217;s Transparent Sky Panels, put down the rear and side windows, and enjoy open-air driving.

Favorite Features and Tech

Infinity roof 
These four transparent roof panels, optional on both trim levels, allow you to see the sun or stars when they’re in place and help create an open-air driving experience when they’re off.
Super Cruise 
The standard Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving system allows hands-free driving that will soon cover <a href="https://www.kbb.com/car-news/gms-super-cruise-now-covers-750000-miles-of-roads/">750,000 miles of highway</a> in North America.
Agile steering 
The standard CrabWalk system uses 4-wheel steering to make it easier to maneuver around obstacles on the trail. On the road, that 4-wheel steering also gives the Hummer EV Pickup a turning radius similar to that of a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/honda/civic/">Honda Civi</a>c.
Watts to Freedom 
Buckle up; the available Watts to Freedom feature launches this electric truck from zero to 60 mph in about three seconds.
UltraVision 
The UltraVision system employs up to 18 camera views to see everything around you — and even under you — for parking and off-roading.
MultiPro tailgate 
The MultiPro tailgate has six different modes. This flexible tailgate can function as a load stop, steps, or even a desk.

Space-Age Interior

One of the big payoffs with a truck this size is a spacious cabin. The front row has some of the best headroom and legroom you can find in a truck, while the rear row is slightly less accommodating. The seats are plenty comfy, too. The interior of the Hummer EV Pickup is a pleasant, roomy setting. GM has had a decades-long history of working on moon rovers for NASA; Easter egg design cues in the cabin make reference to the moon landing and the Sea of Tranquility.
User-friendly technology is one of the other strong suits of the Hummer EV Pickup. Its 13.4-inch main touchscreen has separate buttons to control the various audio, climate, and truck controls. Many of the tech and off-road controls are accessed through the screen itself. We like the customizable digital gauge cluster and the Google-powered infotainment system. There are plenty of clever storage spaces inside. And outward visibility is quite good.

Like its gas- (or diesel) powered predecessors, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup is a terrific, powerful off-road machine that cuts a large figure. However, the modern Hummer EV pickup is all-electric and full of the latest tech. It’s also quick on its feet and more comfortable than the Hummer models of the 1990s and 2000s. It has impressive features like GM’s Super Cruise hands-free driving system. And it does all of this with nearly 320 miles of range and zero tailpipe emissions. The powertrain may be different, but the GMC Hummer EV stays true to the Hummer name and legacy. There’s also a <a href="https://www.kbb.com/gmc/hummer-ev-suv/">Hummer EV SUV</a>, which is reviewed separately.

No matter which of the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/compare-cars/results?vehicleIds=471257|471290/">two Hummer EV trims</a> you choose, it’s pricier than competitors like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/Ford/f-150-lightning/">Ford F-150 Lightning</a>, <a href="https://www.kbb.com/chevrolet/silverado-ev/">Chevy Silverado EV</a>, or the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/rivian/r1t/">Rivian R1T</a>. The primary difference between the 2X and 3X trims is the motor count with a boost in horsepower and torque. If we were shopping for the Hummer EV, we might stick with the 2X trim and put that $8,000 difference toward some cool options like the Extreme Off-Road Package or the Lifestyle Adventure Package, which includes a rooftop tent.
Before buying (or ordering) the GMC Hummer EV Pickup, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should really pay. Among full-size electric pickup trucks, only the Rivian R1T holds its value better than the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.

Battery Power and Range

The 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup comes with a choice of two potent powertrains. The 2X uses a dual-motor setup with 570 horsepower, and the tri-motor 3X has 1,000 hp. GMC&#8217;s estimates put torque at 7,400 lb-ft for the 2X and 11,500 lb-ft in the 3X when factoring in the Watts to Freedom feature.
Without any optional features, the 2025 GMC Hummer EV Pickup has an EPA-rated range of 318 miles. That&#8217;s achieved in the 2X. However, GMC also offers a 24-module battery pack ($9,995) for the 3X trim that increases the maximum range to a GM-estimated 367 miles. Those are impressive numbers for such a massive vehicle. With a Level 3 DC fast charger, GM says you can add an estimated 100 miles of range in 12 minutes under optimal conditions. Using a Level 2 charger with a 240-volt power source takes just over 16 hours to go from 20% to 100%.
In Pickup and SUV forms, the GMC Hummer EV is about the least-efficient electric vehicle on the market. With EPA efficiency figures hovering around 53 MPGe combined, it uses more than twice as much electricity to cover the same distance as something like the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/hyundai/ioniq-5/">Hyundai Ioniq 5</a>, for instance. Even the Ford F-150 Lightning is as much as 40% more efficient than the Hummer EV. The 24-module, extended-range battery is necessarily massive, providing 212 kWh of storage. You can find more Hummer EV efficiency information on the <a href="https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/make.shtml">EPA’s website.</a>
<h3>Towing and Hauling</h3>
The Hummer EV Pickup can tow up to 12,000 pounds, depending on the trim. It has a 5-foot bed and a max payload capacity of 1,485 pounds. For reference, the Ford F-150 Lightning is rated to tow 10,000 pounds and haul 2,000 pounds.
<h3>3-Year/36,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
GMC provides bumper-to-bumper limited warranty coverage for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. Powertrain components are covered for five years or 60,000 miles, and the EV battery is covered for eight years or 100,000 miles. This is the same as the Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevy Silverado EV.
<h3>Safety Ratings</h3>
Neither the government nor the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has crash/safety tested the GMC Hummer EV Pickup. However, it does come with a robust bundle of advanced driver-assist and safety technology. Included are automatic emergency front/rear braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping assist, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and more.

The GMC Hummer EV Pickup receives no major changes for 2025. Two new colors, Graphite Blue Metallic and Solar Orange, join the paint offerings. Supernova Metallic, Tide Metallic, and Afterburner Metallic leave.
