A First Look at the Redesigned 2027 Hyundai Palisade
September 28 2026,
Family vehicles tend to get judged by a different standard than most. It is not just about horsepower or handling, but whether everyone actually fits comfortably, whether the cargo space keeps up with hockey bags and grocery runs, and whether the vehicle can still perform when the weather turns unpredictable. The 2027 Hyundai Palisade is built around those exact priorities, offering standard all-wheel drive, seating for up to eight, and a choice between gas and Hybrid power. Pricing in Canada starts at $53,699* plus additional fees, with multiple configurations available.
A V6 Built for Full-Car Days
The standard 3.5-litre V6 produces 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. More importantly for drivers dealing with changing Alberta conditions, the 2027 Hyundai PALISADE comes with all-wheel drive and Terrain Modes, including settings for Snow, Sand and Mud. That combination gives the gas model the kind of straightforward capability that suits everything from packed weekday schedules to longer highway drives with every seat occupied.

The Hybrid Has More Muscle Than You Might Expect
Going hybrid does not mean giving up power here. The available 2.5-litre turbocharged Hybrid produces 329 horsepower, which is actually more than the V6. It works with a 6-speed automatic transmission and brings an estimated 8.1 L/100 km combined fuel consumption, along with up to 831 km of estimated driving range. For families covering plenty of kilometres, the Hybrid brings together stronger output and lower fuel consumption without changing the PALISADE's three-row formula.
When the Trailer Is Coming Too
Road-trip gear does not always fit inside the SUV. Select gas-powered PALISADE models can tow up to 5,000 pounds, while Hybrid versions offer up to 4,000 pounds of towing capacity. That gives the V6 configuration more room for heavier towing needs, while the Hybrid balances its lower maximum figure with greater horsepower and improved efficiency. An available factory-integrated tow hitch adds another useful piece for families whose weekends regularly involve more than luggage.
A Third Row That Earns Its Keep
The 2027 Hyundai PALISADE offers seating for seven or eight depending on configuration. Preferred Trend and Luxury models can accommodate eight passengers, while selected versions use second-row captain's chairs for a seven-passenger setup. Practicality continues behind the seats with 540 litres of cargo room behind the third row, approximately 1,310 litres with the third row folded, and up to 2,455 litres with the rear seating stowed. That flexibility matters when the passenger count changes from one day to the next.
The Dash Gets the Tech Right
A 12.3-inch touchscreen anchors the infotainment setup, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeping phones connected without another cable taking over the console. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are especially welcome once Calgary temperatures drop, while available features include ventilated front seats and a 14-speaker BOSE premium audio system. It is a tech-heavy cabin, but the useful part is how much of that equipment fits naturally into everyday driving.
Safety Works Best When It Stays One Step Ahead
A family SUV spends plenty of time in busy situations, from packed parking lots to long highway stretches. The PALISADE brings driver-assistance technology designed for exactly those moments, including features such as Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist and adaptive cruise control, depending on configuration. Rather than being technology you notice only once, these systems are designed to quietly support the driver through everyday traffic and longer journeys.
