Great vehicle.

The Palisade is roomy, comfortable, quiet and has a lot of wonderful features. However, I feel it doesn’t have as much storage as my old Explorer or Acadia. I would also have changed some of the instrument panel options.

Almost perfect!

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade offers a delightful driving experience, characterized by a smooth, quiet, and refined ride. Its design strikes a perfect balance between exceptional aesthetics and practical functionality. Although there have been some issues with the folding seats and other technical glitches, I have not personally been affected, and Hyundai has responded promptly to address these concerns. I would appreciate improvements in two areas: adding a massage function to the passenger seat and providing an option for the second-row captain's chairs to have massage capabilities as well. Additionally, the Bose sound system seems underpowered; a bit more bass would greatly enhance the listening experience. Aside from these points, this SUV has been the best vehicle I have owned.

Best Value in a luxury suv

We replaced our 2023 Palisade with the 2026 Palisade and the advancement in the three years was astonishing. The features of this new Palisade are spoiling us.

Happy so far

Like my new Palisade, but with so much technology I find it hard to navigate it all, and after 3 months still struggle to make things work when I need them.

I’m just as pleased with my new 2026 Palisade Calligraphy AWD as I was with my Range Rover and Discovery vehicles.

2026 Palisade

We love our new Palisade. It is very clean looking with a great paint job, which I usually never notice. I interior is comfortable and light. It is good on gas mileage considering the size of the vehicle. I like all the safety features. The third-row seating is actually quite comfortable, even more so because the middle row seats can move forward, if needed.

An Improvement That Isn't Perfect Yet

An impressive car. The differences between this and the previous model are all pluses... except for performance; that went down a notch. New gimmicks are the envy of my friends and neighbors, but some features make them giggle.

Good Value for the money

This vehicle had the most features available for the price. With 4 kids it was important to have a third row that was comfortable and had enough room for growing kids. This vehicle's selling point was the ability to move the third row back a few inches to give kids more leg room as needed. It also allows me to move the third row forward slightly for more cargo room when I need it. Going from an Expedition Max to this is difficult due to the loss of space however with a commute the gas mileage is a bonus and I still have a large enough tank that I only fill it once a week. Living in Wisconsin the snow is an issue here and the AWD on this in Snow Mode leaves something to be desired, to say the least. It will not stay locked in so unless you are actively slipping it won't engage the other wheels which means a less safe operation. Would I buy it again? Probably yes. No vehicle is perfect and this has far more to offer for the price I paid than any of the other options. Overall I do like the vehicle but there are quite a few things I hope Hyundai will improve over the next few iterations. One major one is where the shifter is located. In the Santa Fe it is just slightly higher on the steering column, just enough that it stays out of the way. In the Palisade its just a little too low for someone who is tall, every position of the steering wheel that shifter is just oddly positioned enough that when turning etc its just in the way.

Love this car. I wish it had built in garage door opener in it and a couple other features like saving your seat preferences for driver seat.

So far we are happy with the car.

comfortable but problematic

We were really excited to make the jump based on our experience in the dealership and test drive. We have owned and leased other comparable Toyotas and Subarus in the past but we recommended to check out the new Palisade. We’re honestly disappointed with this vehicle and expected a more practical, family-friendly experience—especially given that we leased it specifically for transporting our kids. While there are some strong features, several design flaws have made day-to-day use frustrating enough that we often choose to drive our other family car instead.

Gorgeous SUV and drives smooth.

I love my new Hyundai Palisade Limited. The limited drove better than the calligraphy. The calligraphy had low profile tires. This SUV has so many safety features. The Bose sound system is awesome. I love the interior and exterior lights. I would like the navigation system to show alternate routes when you are getting close to red lined roads. This is a phenomenal SUV I would highly recommend.
