Key Features of the 2027 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid

329-hp 2.5L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder Hybrid engine

The heart of the 2027 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid is its 329-hp 2.5L turbocharged GDI 4-cylinder Hybrid engine, which pairs gas-engine strength with electric-motor responsiveness. Hyundai designed this powertrain to feel smooth, confident, and capable in the situations that matter most, including highway merging, passing slower traffic, and carrying passengers plus cargo. At lower speeds, the hybrid system can use more electric power and less gas, while regenerative braking helps convert braking energy into electric power to recharge the battery. Since this is a hybrid, there is no need to plug in. Drive modes such as Eco, My Drive, and Sport allow you to tailor the feel of the SUV to your preference, whether you want relaxed efficiency or a more responsive character. The result is a three-row SUV that feels balanced, composed, and ready for family transportation without feeling heavy or disconnected.

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode

Available HTRAC All Wheel Drive with Terrain Mode gives the PALISADE Hybrid additional capability for drivers who want extra traction and confidence. This system is designed to help provide a tighter grip on slippery surfaces and better traction on rough roads, making it a strong fit for Indiana drivers who encounter changing pavement, gravel lanes, construction zones, and busy highway ramps. HTRAC All Wheel Drive works with the SUV’s composed hybrid power delivery to create a stable, reassuring driving experience. PALISADE Hybrid also adds practical strength with standard Tow Mode and an available integrated tow hitch, supporting a maximum towing capacity of up to 4,000 lbs. when equipped with trailer brakes. That capability makes it easier to bring along a small trailer, outdoor gear, or recreational equipment while still enjoying the comfort and quiet confidence expected from a premium family SUV.

12.3-inch dual panoramic display

The PALISADE Hybrid cabin feels modern from the moment you sit down, thanks in part to the 12.3-inch dual panoramic display. This setup combines a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, creating a clean, wide digital environment for maps, entertainment, communication, and key driving information. The touchscreen includes navigation, and the cabin supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for convenient smartphone integration. Available Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium can turn a compatible smartphone or wearable device into a key, with sharing through Apple Wallet®, Google Wallet™, and Samsung Pass®. The SUV also offers available Alexa® Built-in, Hyundai Pay, Wi-Fi hotspot capability with a data plan from Verizon, and an available 14-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system. For passengers, plentiful high-power USB-C ports in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rows help keep devices charged and ready.

Flexible three-row seating and cargo capacity

PALISADE Hybrid is designed around people, gear, and changing plans. With three rows and seating for up to 8 passengers when equipped with available 2nd-row bench seating, it can adapt to larger families, visiting relatives, school activities, and road-trip packing. Standard 2nd-row captain’s chairs provide a premium, open feel, while available Nappa leather-trimmed seats add upscale comfort on select trims. Available 1st- and 2nd-row relaxation seats can recline while the vehicle is parked, creating a more restful cabin experience during breaks. Cargo flexibility is another major advantage. PALISADE Hybrid offers up to 86.7 cubic feet of cargo space with both the 2nd- and 3rd-row seats folded, or 46.3 cubic feet with just the 3rd-row seats folded. A hands-free smart liftgate with auto open adds convenience when your hands are full, and available heated and ventilated front- and 2nd-row seats help make the cabin feel thoughtfully equipped.

SmartSense Safety Suite

Hyundai equips the PALISADE Hybrid with a strong collection of safety and driver-assistance technologies through the SmartSense Safety Suite. Standard Blind-Spot Collision Warning can alert you with visual and audio warnings when a vehicle is detected in your blind spot while your turn signal is on. Highway Driving Assist is also standard and helps keep the SUV centered in its lane while maintaining a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead. Additional safety technologies include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, and available Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM), which can show a live camera feed of the lane in the digital instrument display when signaling. Available Surround View Monitor (SVM) combines camera feeds for a 360-degree bird’s-eye view around the vehicle, while the available Camera Cleaning System helps maintain rearview monitor clarity. The available Built-in Dash Cam can record while driving and can record with Parked Motion Detection when you are away from the vehicle.
