2026 Hyundai Palisade in Sarasota, FL
Explore the 2026 Hyundai Palisade at Gettel Hyundai of Sarasota
The Hyundai Palisade is already one of the most popular three-row SUVs in the class, and the 2026 Palisade raises the stakes even further. With a sophisticated exterior style, a plush interior, and a smooth demeanor on the road, this SUV is both family-friendly and luxurious. Here are the trim levels you can choose from:
- SE
- SEL
- SEL Convenience
- SEL Premium
- Limited
- XRT Pro
- Calligraphy
Going head-to-head with the Kia Telluride, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Grand Highlander, the Palisade sets itself apart with near-luxury finishes, impressive technology, and Hyundai’s unbeatable value. For Sarasota drivers who want space, comfort, and modern conveniences, the Palisade is one of the best all-around choices.
Interior Features
Step inside the 2026 Palisade and you’ll discover a cabin that feels upscale and thoughtfully designed. Seating for eight is standard with a second-row bench, while available captain’s chairs reduce capacity to seven but add comfort and easier access to the third row. Cloth upholstery is included at the base level, while higher trims offer quilted Nappa leather, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, and even heated third-row seating.
Passengers will appreciate the Palisade’s roomy third row, which is large enough to accommodate adults on short trips – something many rivals can’t claim. Cargo space is equally generous, with 18 cubic feet behind the third row, 46 cubic feet with it folded, and an expansive 86 cubic feet with both rear rows down. Power-folding rear seats and rear window shades ensure comfort and convenience for the whole family.
An available dual-pane sunroof, customizable ambient lighting, and tri-zone automatic climate control round out the Palisade’s premium feel, while Hyundai’s attention to detail makes long trips more enjoyable.
Exterior Features
The 2026 Palisade boasts larger-than-life styling and a decidedly upright presence that suggests strength and competency, as well as attention-grabbing squared proportions. It presents one imposing look with its large cascading grille, vertical LED headlights, striking body lines, and sophisticated detailing.
Each trim has its unique styling cues. The XRT’s purposeful styling includes blacked-out accents, wheels that are unique to the model, and skid plate details. Moving upscale to the Calligraphy will lead you into a luxurious treatment with chrome accents and 20-inch polished alloy wheels.
The many practical touches include a standard hands-free power liftgate, roof rails integrated into the design, and LED taillights. Regardless of whether it’s parked at the beach or downtown Sarasota, the 2026 Palisade is unmistakably bold while remaining attractive.
Available exterior colors include:
- Hyper White
- Abyss Black Pearl
- Sierra Burgundy
- Moonlight Cloud
- Typhoon Silver
- Steel Graphite
Power & Performance
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is straightforward and robust with its dependable 3.5-liter V6 engine with 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Power is transmitted through a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission that delivers seamless gear transitions to the driver.
