There’s no better way to chauffeur your visiting family through Knoxville than in the luxurious interior of the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE. This 3-row midsize SUV is an excellent host, featuring dozens of convenient comforts and technology that is simple to engage with. It’s also easy on the eyes, but don’t just take our word for it, come see the PALISADE in person here at Twin City Hyundai!

Interior

The Hyundai PALISADE is offered in both eight and seven passenger configurations, which should be enough for your extended family members as well as the members of your Knoxville residence. One appointment is removed in the latter arrangement to make room for optional second-row captain’s chairs that can be made even more accommodating by activating an available relaxation mode. This feature activates the chair’s ability to recline and extend leg cushions with the flip of a switch. It’s your choice whether you’d like a standard conventional sunroof or one of the dual panel variety available on highers, and both options will make it easy to stargaze by night. Do so in a calming environment produced by the standard acoustic-laminated windshield, which is also available on the rear door side glass if you go for the Limited and Calligraphy trims.

Performance

Though it’s true that the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE places heavy emphasis on passenger accommodations, that doesn’t mean the driving experience is monotonous or dull. This SUV’s steering is equipped with standard paddle shifters that manually control gear operation of the standard 8-speed automatic transmission, which can work wonders when needing a bit more energy to pass another car on I-40. The PALISADE can also sustain these bursts of speed thanks to its standard 3.5L 4-cylinder engine that makes 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque. It can also withstand the stress of pulling heavy equipment with a 5,000-lb. maximum towing capacity1.

Technology

Let’s take a look at the technological functions that will gradually become part of your commuting routines. A standard Passenger Talk in-car intercom will help you wake sleeping children up if they dozed up on the way to school drop offs or soccer meets. If they want to nap after a long day, engage the standard Rear Seat Quiet Mode to cancel sound emitted by all speakers minus the ones up front. Alternatively, you can also connect your smartphone to the standard 12.3-inch touchscreen using Android Auto™2 and Apple CarPlay®2 to access your playlist of ambient music to create a calming environment for a short bout of sleep. Dozens of other advancements are available in the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE, and you can test them all out by stopping by our location!
