Hyundai Palisade: An Updated Icon
The all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade three-row SUV combines bold design, a premium cabin, and enhanced capability. It introduces a 2.5-liter turbo hybrid powertrain producing up to 329 hp with an estimated 619-mile range. The first-ever Palisade XRT PRO adds advanced off-road hardware and unique design cues beyond the previous XRT. New technology features include first- and second-row Relaxation seating, Digital Key 2, 100-watt USB-C ports, and a factory-installed tow hitch. Safety upgrades include a dual-camera dash cam, ten airbags, and third-row seatbelt pre-tensioners with load limiters, making the 2026 Palisade more versatile, comfortable, and secure for families and adventurers alike.
Honda Passport: More Rugged, More Intelligent
The 2026 Honda Passport arrives with a full redesign that leans heavily into tougher styling, upgraded capability, and a more versatile interior. A new 285-horsepower V6 and a 10-speed automatic replace the old powertrain, paired with Honda’s latest i-VTM4 all-wheel drive system for faster response and better traction. The TrailSport models see the biggest upgrades: off-road tuned suspension, wider tracks, thicker steel skid plates, brighter orange recovery points, and new all-terrain tires developed specifically for this generation. Inside, the Passport gets more cargo room, a redesigned cabin with smarter storage, and major tech upgrades, including a 10.2-inch digital instrument panel and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen with Google Built-In.
