329 combined horsepower, up to 34 MPG combined and seating for up to eight. The 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is the most powerful and most efficient Palisade yet.
The 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid is a three-row, 7- or 8-passenger SUV powered by a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with two electric motors and a 6-speed automatic transmission. The system makes 329 combined horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque, which is more power and torque than the 287-hp V6 Palisade. It also delivers EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 34 MPG combined and up to 619 miles of total driving range on front-wheel-drive models. Car and Driver named the Palisade Hybrid to its 10Best Trucks and SUVs list for 2026, and Edmunds rates it 8.3 out of 10. For 2027, the lineup adds a new Calligraphy Black Ink trim. For drivers in Gladstone, Oregon City and the greater Portland area, available HTRAC All-Wheel Drive adds confidence on wet Oregon roads without giving up hybrid efficiency.
