New 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT

Here's a look at the 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro, a trim that blends rugged styling with family-ready utility. Let me break down why it's a compelling choice. The XRT trim stands out with exclusive touches: 20-inch rugged dark alloy wheels, unique front/rear bumpers and lower door garnish, black roof rails, side rails, and a signature XRT liftgate badge, standard Bi-LED headlights and LED daytime running lights. These features give it a sporty, outdoorsy edge over more traditional trims. Under the hood, a 3.8L V6 engine delivering 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission. The AWD system with torque distribution for improved traction ensures smooth acceleration, confident handling in slick conditions, and sporty responsiveness. The setup also ensures great towing and capability, with a 5,000 lbs towing capacity when properly equipped. Trailer sway control and pre-installed towing wiring make hooking up trailers seamless. AWD helps in maintaining traction when towing heavier loads. Perfect for weekend getaways or hauling gear. Standard features include seating for seven, usually with second-row captains chairs, heated front seats with 8-way power adjustability and lumbar support, dual-zone climate control and 3rd-row HVAC vents, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless charging pad, Harman/Kardon premium audio system, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof (on XRT).
