The 2026 Palisade redesign has reshaped Hyundai's three-row lineup. Calligraphy and Calligraphy Night Edition trims push the Palisade into near-luxury pricing territory ($55K-plus), while SE and SEL hold the volume positions at significantly lower price points.
Three powertrains in the current generation: the 3.5L gas V6 (volume), the 2.5L turbo hybrid (new for 2026), and a planned BEV variant. The hybrid is where the most buyer interest currently sits — combined output of 339 horsepower and meaningfully better fuel economy than the gas V6, at a $2K-ish premium.
Hyundai's pricing approach differs from Toyota's. Below-MSRP deals are widely available, and stacked manufacturer rebates plus dealer concession often combine for $3K–$5K off sticker on SE and SEL trims. Calligraphy and Night Edition trims hold firmer but still negotiate.
The XRT trim — added in the 2023 refresh and continued in the new generation — is the off-road-styled variant. It's the trim with the most consistent below-MSRP pricing in the current data.
