Why SUV Shoppers Are Eyeing the 2026 Palisade XRT Pro
If you’re ready to venture off the beaten path, there are nearly countless vehicles that are up for the challenge.
But the all-new Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro is shaking things up in the off-road-ready SUV space.
With all-terrain capabilities, impressive towing capacity, and rugged styling, you can’t miss it. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest addition to the Hyundai lineup.
Standout Design and Rugged Features
The 2026 Palisade XRT Pro may be an off-road SUV, but it shines with upscale styling. Dark silver and black accents turn heads on city streets or trails, while the distinctive front and rear bumpers are built for real-world adventures without sacrificing refinement. Premium LED projector headlights, daytime running lights, and LED taillights enhance visibility in all conditions, while heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals help you see and be seen.
The Hyundai Palisade XRT features set it apart from your typical three-row SUV:
- Front and rear recovery hooks for tow straps in tough terrain like snow, mud, or sand.
- 18-inch dark alloy wheels, all-terrain tires, and increased ground clearance allow you to venture off-road with confidence.
- Standard tow mode and hitch provide a maximum capacity of 5,000 pounds for boats, campers, or trailers.
- The XRT Pro badge lets everyone know the Palisade XRT Pro is ready for anything.
If you want style and capability without compromise, the new Palisade is for you.
Performance, Capability, and Tech Upgrades
Under the hood, the Palisade XRT Pro features a 287-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 engine paired with HTRAC All-Wheel Drive, delivering 16 city/22 highway/19 combined mpg. The AWD system goes beyond basic traction with an electronic rear limited-slip differential, downhill brake control, and dedicated Terrain mode settings for snow, mud, and sand. When you’re towing up to 5,000 pounds or tackling challenging terrain, the rear tow mode optimizes traction and power delivery to keep you moving confidently.
The XRT Pro’s technology features address both practical needs and comfort:
- Surround View Monitor: 360° bird’s-eye camera view for tight parking and off-road navigation.
- Blind Spot View Monitor: Live camera feed of adjacent lanes appears when you signal.
- 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Customize your theme for the driver information that’s most important to you.
- Bose premium audio: High-quality sound system keeps everyone entertained on long trips.
- Wireless connectivity: Enjoy cord-free charging and streaming with a Qi-compatible charging pad for all rows and wireless Apple CarPlay integration.
- 115-volt AC power outlet: Standard household power inside the cabin for devices and equipment at the campsite or tailgate.
These features make the XRT Pro equally capable of handling weekend camping trips and daily family duties, giving you the versatility you’re looking for in a three-row SUV.
Comfort for Everyday Driving
The Palisade XRT Pro’s interior is designed for your real life. The 7-passenger layout features second-row captain’s chairs for easier third-row access. Durable H-tex leatherette seats provide the look of leather with easier maintenance, which is important when you’re dealing with kids, pets, or outdoor gear.
Heated and ventilated front seats keep you comfortable in any weather, while the 3-zone automatic climate control system keeps everyone comfortable regardless of where they sit. Second-row passengers will have rear window sunshades to protect them from direct sunlight.
The new Palisade XRT Pro is full of convenience features that make life easier, like the hands-free smart liftgate that opens automatically when you approach with the proximity key. A power sunroof adds natural light and openness to the cabin, while customizable ambient lighting with 64 color options on the door trim and center console lets you set the mood. The leather-wrapped steering wheel features haptic feedback to alert you to your surroundings without taking your eyes off the road.
These thoughtful touches make the XRT Pro practical for everything from school drop-offs to weekend camping trips.
