Hyundai's popular Palisade SUV receives a major update for the 2026 model year, bringing fresh styling, added features, and enhanced capabilities. Ballwin drivers and families looking for a versatile three-row vehicle will find a lot to like in the 2026 Hyundai Palisade. At Dean Team Hyundai in Ballwin, MO, we're excited to show you everything that's new in this impressive SUV.
Roomier, More Upscale Interior
One of the most noticeable changes for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is its increased size over the 2025 version. It's now larger in nearly every dimension, providing more passenger and cargo room. St. Louis area drivers will appreciate the additional space, especially in the third row and cargo area. Fold down all the rear seats and you have over 86 cubic feet of cargo space. Along with the growth spurt, the new Palisade also boasts a more upscale and refined interior.
High-Tech Dual Displays
Inside the cabin, you're greeted by a new dual-screen infotainment layout. The 2026 Palisade features two massive 12.3-inch panoramic displays - one for the gauge cluster and one for the infotainment system. This high-tech setup gives the dash a modern, premium look and feel that St. Peters customers are sure to love. The intuitive touchscreen provides easy access to features like navigation, audio, climate controls and more. Wireless smartphone integration and an integrated navigation system are standard in the Palisade.
Rugged XRT Pro Trim Joins the Lineup
For 2026, the Palisade adds a new rugged trim to the lineup: the XRT Pro. Adventurous Hazelwood families will be drawn to the XRT Pro's more aggressive styling and off-road enhancements. It comes standard with all-wheel drive, a 1.0-inch suspension lift, skid plates, all-terrain tires, and an upgraded traction control system. Distinctive exterior touches include dark 20-inch alloy wheels, a blacked-out grille and accents, plus front and rear tow hooks.
Palisade Performance and Capability
The 2026 Palisade continues to be powered by a stout 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered. Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims, with all-wheel drive available. When properly equipped, the new Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds - ideal for hauling boats or campers on weekend trips from Eureka.
First-Class Features Across the Range
No matter which Palisade trim you choose, you'll get a well-appointed SUV with loads of popular features. Even the base SE comes standard with full LED exterior lighting, front and rear parking sensors, a 12.3-in touchscreen and a digital gauge cluster, wireless smartphone integration, adaptive cruise control, and Hyundai's extensive SmartSense safety tech suite.
Move up through the trim range and you can outfit your Palisade with niceties like ventilated seats, wireless phone charging, in-car intercom, dual sunroofs, a digital key, a 12-speaker Harman Kardon audio system, parking collision avoidance, and a blind spot camera - just to name a few. A Remote Smart Parking Assist feature lets you use the key fob or a smartphone app to remotely guide the Palisade into a parking spot. With seven trims offered, it's easy to configure a new Palisade that fits your needs and budget.
