Motors will also be new
The Carscoops resource published the first live photos of the brand new Hyundai Palisade – second generation model, which is expected to premiere in 2026. The car is tightly covered in camouflage, but according to Carscoops, the new Huyndai flagship will have a «pixelated» design like the Hyundai Santa Fe 2024. Let us remind you that previously the same «pixel» the design was adopted by the updated Creta crossover.
At the end of 2023, Hyundai vice president of product planning Olabisi Boyle confirmed a dramatic design change for the future Palisade. She said the redesign will be as “dramatic” as the changes to Santa Fe.
Together with the new design, the 2026 Hyundai Palisade will also receive new engines: a hybrid power plant based on a 2.5-liter engine will appear, as well as a turbocharged 3.5-liter V6 – it will replace the 3.8-liter V6 engine in the current generation model. The use of new motors will make it possible to switch to a completely new platform – with a longer wheelbase. That is, the second generation Palisade will be more spacious inside than the current car.
