2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid has arrived, yours for PHP 3.98M

Hyundai Motor PH officially launches next-gen Palisade with 2.5 turbo hybrid

After making its ASEAN debut in Indonesia last month, Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc. (HMPH) sprang a surprise for July.

Making its Philippine debut is the all-new 2026 Hyundai Palisade. That’s right, just like the Santa Fe and Tucson, Hyundai’s full-size three-row crossover SUV is now electrified. Just like what was revealed in Indonesia, the all-new Palisade is powered by a 2.5L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that makes 262 PS and 353 Nm of torque.

But thanks to an electric motor and a 1.65 kWh battery pack, the Palisade Hybrid makes a combined 334 PS and 422 Nm of torque. Power is then sent to a six-speed automatic gearbox that drives all wheels via an AWD system.

Style-wise, the all-new Palisade Hybrid gets a boxier and more dynamic appearance. It comes with a distinct set of LED headlights and daytime running lights, a huge front grille, a boxy roofline, massive 21-inch alloy wheels, and sleek LED taillights. Size-wise, the Palisade Hybrid measures 5065mm long, 1980mm wide, 1805mm tall, and has a lengthy 2970mm wheelbase.

Pop the doors and the all-new full-size SUV greets the occupants in a high-tech and comfy cabin. All three rows of seats come with leather upholstery as well as LED ambient lighting. Passengers in the second row will be treated to the best seats in the SUV thanks to a pair of captain seats. Meanwhile, third-row passengers get a bench that can seat three people.

A 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment screen sits at the center of the dashboard and is accompanied by a fully digital instrument panel. Like most Hyundais today, the all-new Palisade comes with wireless Android Auto & Apple CarPlay for easier pairing of mobile devices. 

Other features available in the Palisade Hybrid include a Bose sound system, a wireless charging pad, dual-zone climate control, a wireless charging pad, relaxation seats for the first & second rows, memory function for the front seats, a dual sunroof, a smart power tailgate, and automatically-folding third-row seats.

For extra peace of mind, the all-new Palisade Hybrid comes with a suite of intelligent driver aids. These include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, driver attention warning, smart cruise control with stop & go (AKA adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist), blind-spot collision avoidance with monitoring, lane-keeping assist, rear-cross traffic alert, and a surround-view monitor.

The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid retails for PHP 3.98 million and is available in the following colors: Abyss Black Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Pearl, Creamy White Pearl, and Robust Emerald Pearl
