The 2026 Palisade offers two new powertrain options. Gas-only models will use a 287-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that makes 260 pounds-feet of torque, down a bit from the previous 3.8-liter V-6’s 291 hp and 262 pounds-feet. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission; front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available. Hyundai estimates that the new powertrain should retain the current Palisade’s 5,000-pound towing capacity.

Outside, the K4 Hatchback borrows much of the sedan’s design cues, including crisp angles, vertical and horizontal LED headlights and taillights, and hidden rear door handles. However, the hatchback also goes its own way; it’s 11 inches shorter than the sedan and wears a floating roof design that extends into the rear hatch. It’s also available in an exclusive Sparkling Yellow exterior color.

The steering wheel is also heated, as are the second-row seats, and that’s all complimented by tri-zone automatic climate control.
