the 2026 hyundai palisade got a slight price bump

The Hyundai Palisade has been considered a solid value since it was release several years ago, but its price has become less appealing since that time. Hyundai recently priced the SUV for the 2026 model year, and most trims see an increase.

The base 2026 Hyundai Palisade SE starts at $40,340, a $1,735 increase, but the biggest jump came with the top Calligraphy trim, which climbed $3,060 for the model year. Other trims saw smaller increases, such as the SEL Premium, which only jumped by $250. The 2026 Palisade will be built in South Korea and is due to go on sale this summer, with hybrid models following in the fall.

Hyundai did make some improvements to go with the price increases, including a new hybrid Palisade variant with 329 horsepower and a more than 600-mile driving range. The SUV also gained “relaxation seating,” a new digital key system, upgraded USB-C charging ports, and a new tow hitch.

The Palisade XRT also debuted for 2026, offering a slightly more rugged take on the sedate family hauler. It features all-terrain tires and beefier styling. Elsewhere, Hyundai massaged the Palisade’s front end, giving it updated LED daytime running lights and a new grille design. The automaker said the changes improved aerodynamics, with the SUV now reaching a slippery 0.31 drag coefficient.

  What's crazy is that it's still a styling improvement over the current model.
  Curiously, it looks like the A-pillar brightwork on the front doors has the same hard angle to it as the current Ford Explorer. I wonder if it also uses the same half-assed rubber weathersealing to fill the "gap?"

If Hyundai has the production capacity, the bulk of 2G Palisade sales will be for the HEV (where it makes up 70% of sales in its domestic market).

Andarris Here in the Toronto area I haven't seen a 2006-2012 with intact rocker pannels for over two years now. I presume everywhere around the Great Lakes is the same ? They were super cheap dhring the first two years of the pandemic - could get one with less than 85K for around $6500 certified or a little higher mileage for $5000. Glad I skipped it, even in 2021 some of the 10's &11's were displaying corosion like you'd see on a 7 year older Impala, Camry or Accord. Also the mid-model switch to EPS made me balk at the few clean ones I found.

Michael S6 The 3 Amigos better hope that the oil spike is short lived as 4-5 dollar a gallon gas would put a damper on their cash cows especially "Ford's strategic shift" of killing off the escape/Lincoln cousin. Most other automakers have a full line of vehicles with much better full economy. GM is sucking air and its Cadillac devision is mostly EV and geriatric line up of ICE cars and SUV's that were supposed to be phased out this year. The expensive gas may push shoppers toward EV but GM's horrible EV reliability is a barrier.
Tane94 I read the GM press release about first quarter sales 2026 vs 2025 and Buick is getting its butt kicked:Buick Total* 41,654 61,822 -32.6 The future is bleak for Buick.
