The Hyundai Palisade has been fully redesigned for 2026, ushering in a bold new look and exciting updates for this popular three-row SUV. At Matthews Hyundai of Schenectady, we're thrilled to offer the latest Palisade and invite local SUV shoppers to experience its forward-looking features firsthand. Our Schenectady Hyundai dealership is just a short drive from Albany, making it easy to check out the 2026 Palisade.
Palisade Gets a Dramatic New Look for 2026
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade introduces a redesigned exterior that's boxier and more rugged than the outgoing model. Some design cues seem to take inspiration from classic Range Rovers, giving the Palisade a fresh, eye-catching style. The SUV has also grown in size, measuring 2.5 inches longer overall with a nearly three-inch longer wheelbase that benefits second and third-row passengers.
Hyundai will offer the Palisade in multiple attractive trims, including an elegant range-topping Calligraphy model with premium accents and large 21-inch wheels. For shoppers seeking adventure, there's also a rugged new XRT Pro trim with a distinct off-road character. Whether you prefer a refined family SUV for commuting around Schenectady or a capable vehicle for weekend getaways from Albany, there's a 2026 Palisade to suit you.
Palisade Adds an Efficient New Hybrid Option
The 2026 Palisade comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The SUV continues to offer a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. A major addition for 2026 is an available hybrid powertrain that combines a turbo 2.5-liter four-cylinder with dual electric motors. The hybrid Palisade generates an impressive 329 horsepower while delivering over 30 mpg on the highway, appealing to Albany area drivers seeking improved efficiency.
A Luxurious, Tech-Filled Interior
Inside, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade takes a huge leap forward with premium materials, progressive tech, and thoughtful amenities. The stylish dashboard is highlighted by an eye-catching design element that flows seamlessly into the door panels. Schenectady drivers will like the dual 12.3-inch displays, which provide a high-tech interface with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration.
Available comfort and convenience features include ventilated front seats with massage functions, a unique air-conditioned wireless charging pad, and even a germ-killing UV light box. The spacious interior offers generous room in all three rows, with power-sliding second-row seats in the Calligraphy trim.
