The all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade enters its second generation with a complete redesign — a longer body, an updated powertrain, and the first-ever Palisade Hybrid — and we stock both 2026 and 2025 models here at Findlay Hyundai St. George. Two powertrains, seven trim levels, and seating for up to eight passengers make this three-row midsize SUV one of the most versatile options in its class. Shoppers across Washington County will find a Palisade configuration that fits their family’s daily life and their weekend plans.
Southern Utah asks a lot from the vehicles that drive it. Summer heat pushes past 100 degrees on the I-15 stretch between St. George and Las Vegas. SR-9 into Zion climbs and curves in ways that reveal exactly what an SUV is made of. The occasional storm drops snow on canyon roads near Kolob Terrace when the valley floor stays dry. And families from Hurricane to Santa Clara make those I-15 runs to Salt Lake City more often than most people realize.
The Palisade Hybrid’s EPA-estimated 34 combined mpg with front-wheel drive changes that equation for buyers who live on the highway. Pair that with a Hyundai-estimated total range of up to 619 miles, and Las Vegas day trips feel significantly less costly. AWD is available across the standard V6 lineup and comes standard on Palisade Hybrid SEL and higher trims — a meaningful advantage when canyon roads get slick in winter months.
The 2026 model also arrives 2.5 inches longer overall on a 2.7-inch-longer wheelbase, which means more legroom in the second and third rows. Families who’ve been folding teenagers into the back half of a smaller SUV will feel the difference immediately.
The Palisade lineup is built to match specific buyers, not just budgets. Here is how the trim stack breaks down by how people actually use the vehicle.
The SE and SEL Convenience trims deliver the full three-row, up-to-eight-passenger experience with a comprehensive standard safety suite, dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and enough cabin space to handle school runs in Washington and weekend road trips to Bryce Canyon without anyone getting cramped.
The XRT PRO is the standout of the 2026 lineup. New for this generation, it comes equipped with an electronic limited-slip rear differential, all-terrain tires, Terrain Mode Select with dedicated Mud, Snow, and Sand settings, and front and rear recovery hooks. It handles forest service roads near Sand Hollow with genuine capability, and it looks at home against red rock in a way that no previous Palisade trim could claim.
The SEL Premium, Limited, Calligraphy, and Palisade Hybrid trims bring available Relaxation seating for both front and second rows, available Nappa leather, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, a first-ever built-in dual-camera dash cam, and Hyundai-estimated up to 329 combined horsepower from the hybrid powertrain. The Hybrid AWD trims deliver EPA-estimated 29 combined mpg without giving up a single feature in the cabin.
Buyers who want a fully equipped three-row SUV at a slightly lower price point will find our 2025 Palisade inventory worth a close look. The proven 3.8L V6 with Hyundai-estimated 291 horsepower and the same spacious three-row layout are all still there.
Findlay Automotive Group has been family-owned since 1961, when Pete Findlay opened his first dealership in Las Vegas with one location and a long-term plan. Today, the group runs 35 stores across Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Washington. And Findlay Hyundai St. George has been the go-to Hyundai destination for Washington County for years.
Our customers say things that matter. No pressure. Transparent pricing. Staff who go out of their way. One reviewer specifically noted that a team member drove from St. George to Las Vegas to get paperwork signed. Our Palisade inventory is sold at MSRP, something customers call out by name in their feedback often enough that it has become part of how we do business here.
Findlay Hyundai St. George carries a 4.5-star rating from more than 747 verified customer reviews. We serve buyers from across St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Santa Clara, and Ivins. Our service department runs shuttle service so customers can get to work while their vehicle is in — a small detail that makes a real difference for busy families.
Hyundai also backs every new Palisade with an industry-leading warranty: 5 years/60,000 miles of basic coverage and 10 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain. That kind of coverage means something on the long runs Southern Utah families take every week.
The standard 2026 Palisade comes in SE, SEL Convenience, SEL Premium, XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. The Palisade Hybrid is offered separately in Blue SEL, Blue SEL Premium, SEL Premium, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. We carry both 2025 and 2026 Palisade models at Findlay Hyundai St. George, giving shoppers access to the full range of available configurations.
The Palisade accommodates seven or eight passengers across three rows. Eight-passenger seating requires the optional second-row bench seat, which is available on select trims. The standard second-row configuration uses captain’s chairs for seven-passenger seating with additional walk-through access to the third row.
The standard 2026 Palisade runs a 3.5L V6 with Hyundai-estimated 287 horsepower. The Palisade Hybrid pairs a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine with two electric motors for Hyundai-estimated 329 combined horsepower and EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 34 combined mpg with front-wheel drive. The Palisade Hybrid also carries a Hyundai-estimated towing capacity of up to 4,000 pounds and a total estimated range of up to 619 miles.
The XRT PRO is the most off-road-capable trim in the 2026 Palisade lineup. Standard equipment includes all-terrain tires, an electronic limited-slip rear differential, Terrain Mode Select with Mud, Snow, and Sand settings, and front and rear recovery hooks. It handles improved dirt roads, sandy terrain, and mixed-surface conditions with more confidence than any previous Palisade trim. For buyers in the St. George area who run trails near Sand Hollow or take forest service roads into the backcountry, the XRT PRO is the trim to consider.
AWD is available on all standard 2026 Palisade trims and comes standard on Palisade Hybrid SEL and above. On the 2025 Palisade, AWD was optional across the lineup except on the Calligraphy Night Edition, where it came as standard. Our team can walk you through AWD availability by specific trim and model year — reach out or stop in at our St. George showroom.
