The Palisade blends luxury with practicality, but don't expect a thrill ride.

Premium cabin feel · Advanced tech features

Snug third row · Sluggish acceleration

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade stands out with its elegant design and premium cabin that feels more luxury than mainstream. What caught us by surprise is how the Palisade manages to cram so much tech and comfort features into an SUV that remains competitively priced. However, the V6 engine offers just adequate power, making the driving experience more about comfort than performance. This SUV is perfect for families who prioritize space and style over speed, especially those who will appreciate the new off-road capabilities without needing a powerhouse under the hood.

Our pick: SEL Convenience ($43,370)

vs. 2026 Subaru Ascent: While the Palisade offers a more luxurious interior and cutting-edge tech, the Ascent provides a more engaging drive and standard AWD.
