For enhanced safety, the front and second-row seat shoulder belts of the 2026 Hyundai Palisade have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade doesn’t offer pretensioners for its second-row seat belts.

For enhanced safety, the front and middle seat shoulder belts of the Hyundai Palisade are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade doesn’t offer height-adjustable middle seat belts.

The Palisade has a standard front seat center airbag, which deploys between the driver and front passenger, protecting them from injuries caused by striking each other in serious side impacts. The 2025 Palisade doesn’t offer front seat center airbags.

In a Vehicle-to-Vehicle Frontal Crash Prevention 2.0 test conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), the Hyundai Palisade achieved a “Good” rating - the highest possible - for its performance in forward collision warning and automatic braking systems, demonstrating its excellent capabilities in preventing collisions. The 2025 Hyundai Palisade has not been tested.

The Hyundai Palisade’s rear backup camera has a standard washer for maintaining a clear view under various conditions. In contrast, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade does not offer a rear camera washer, meaning its effectiveness relies on manual cleaning by the user when necessary.

Both the 2026 Palisade and the 2025 Palisade have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front and rear side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front wheel drive, height adjustable front shoulder belts, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, rearview cameras, rear cross-path warning, driver alert monitors, available all wheel drive and around view monitors.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety does 40 MPH moderate front offset crash tests on new cars. In this updated test, results indicate that the Palisade is much safer than the 2025 Palisade:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
Overall Evaluation	ACCEPTABLE	POOR
Structure	GOOD	GOOD
	Driver Injury Measures
Head/Neck Rating	GOOD	GOOD
Chest Rating	GOOD	GOOD
Thigh/hip Rating	GOOD	GOOD
Leg/foot Rating	GOOD	GOOD
Restraints	GOOD	GOOD
	Rear Passenger Injury Measures
Head/Neck Rating	GOOD	GOOD
Chest Rating	GOOD	MARGINAL
Thigh Rating	GOOD	GOOD

Side impacts caused 23% of all road fatalities in 2018, down from 29% in 2003, when the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety introduced its side barrier test. In order to continue improving vehicle safety, the IIHS has started using a more severe side impact test: 37 MPH (up from 31 MPH), with a 4180-pound barrier (up from 3300 pounds). The results of this newly developed test demonstrates that the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is safer than the 2025 Palisade:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
Overall Evaluation	GOOD	GOOD
Structure	GOOD	GOOD
	Driver Injury Measures
Head/Neck	GOOD	GOOD
Head Injury Criterion	44	68
Torso	GOOD	GOOD

Pelvis Force	759 lbs.	1026 lbs.
Head Protection	GOOD	GOOD
	Passenger Injury Measures

The Hyundai Palisade achieved a “Top Safety Pick” rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for the 2025 model year. This recognition was based on its impressive performance in the small overlap frontal crash test, updated moderate overlap front crash test, updated side impact crash test, headlight evaluations, and pedestrian crash prevention testing. The 2025 Palisade is not a “Top Safety Pick” for 2025.

Regenerative brakes improve the 2026 Palisade Hybrid’s fuel efficiency by converting inertia back into energy instead of wasting it. The 2025 Palisade doesn’t offer a regenerative braking system.

In its Green Vehicle Guide, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the 2026 Hyundai Palisade higher (6 out of 10) than the 2025 Hyundai Palisade (5). This means the 2026 Palisade produces up to 6.9 pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the 2025 Palisade every 15,000 miles.

For better stopping power the 2026 Palisade’s brake rotors are larger than those on the 2025 Palisade:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
Front Rotors	13.6 inches	13.4 inches
Rear Rotors	12.8 inches	12 inches

The 2026 Palisade’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the 2025 Palisade are solid, not vented.

The 2026 Palisade stops much shorter than the 2025 Palisade:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
70 to 0 MPH	172 feet	182 feet	Car and Driver
60 to 0 MPH	121 feet	129 feet	Motor Trend

For better traction, the 2026 Palisade Calligraphy’s tires are larger than the largest tires available on the 2025 Palisade (265/45R21 vs. 245/60R18).

The 2026 Palisade Calligraphy’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 45 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the 2025 Palisade’s optional 50 series tires.

For better ride, handling and brake cooling the 2026 Palisade Calligraphy has standard 21-inch wheels. The 2025 Palisade’s largest wheels are only 20-inches.

The 2026 Palisade’s drift compensation steering can automatically compensate for road conditions which would cause the vehicle to drift from side to side, helping the driver to keep the vehicle straight more easily. The 2025 Palisade doesn’t offer drift compensation steering.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the 2026 Palisade’s wheelbase is 2.7 inches longer than on the 2025 Palisade (116.9 inches vs. 114.2 inches).

The 2026 Palisade Calligraphy HTRAC handles at .83 G’s, while the 2025 Palisade SEL HTRAC pulls only .80 G’s of cornering force in a Car and Driver skidpad test.

The 2026 Palisade Calligraphy HTRAC executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver 1.1 seconds quicker than the 2025 Palisade Limited HTRAC (27.2 seconds @ .67 average G’s vs. 28.3 seconds @ .63 average G’s).

For greater off-road capability the 2026 Palisade XRT PRO has a greater minimum ground clearance than the 2025 Palisade (8.4 vs. 7.9 inches), allowing the 2026 Palisade to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.

The front grille of the 2026 Palisade uses electronically controlled shutters to close off airflow and reduce drag when less engine cooling is needed. This helps improve highway fuel economy. The 2025 Palisade doesn’t offer active grille shutters.

As tested by Car and Driver, the interior of the 2026 Palisade Calligraphy HTRAC is quieter than the 2025 Palisade Limited HTRAC:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
At idle	34 dB	38 dB
Full-Throttle	71 dB	74 dB
70 MPH Cruising	67 dB	69 dB

The 2026 Palisade’s cargo area provides more volume than the 2025 Palisade.

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
Behind Third Seat	19.1 cubic feet	18 cubic feet
Third Seat Folded	46.3 cubic feet	45.8 cubic feet
Second Seat Folded	86.7 cubic feet	86.4 cubic feet

The 2026 Palisade’s cargo area is larger than the 2025 Palisade’s in almost every dimension:

	2026 Palisade	2025 Palisade
Length to seat (3rd/2nd/1st)	21.9”/50”/85.4”	20.8”/49”/82.5”

Min Width	45.6”	43.4”
Height	33”	30.5”

The 2026 Palisade has a standard third row seat which folds flat into the floor. This completely clears a very large cargo area quickly. The 2025 Palisade doesn’t offer seats that fold into the floor.

On a hot day the 2026 Palisade’s driver can lower the front windows from a distance using the keyless remote. The driver of the 2025 Palisade can only operate the windows from inside the vehicle, with the ignition on.

Both the 2026 Hyundai Palisade and 2025 Hyundai Palisade offer exterior mirrors that can be folded to provide convenience. The 2026 Palisade offers available power folding mirrors, which allow for easy, one-touch folding or unfolding at the driver’s discretion. This provides added convenience when maneuvering or parking, as well as when walking past the parked vehicle. In comparison, the 2025 Palisade’s foldable mirrors are manual, requiring the driver to get out and physically fold them once parked and unfold them before getting in.

A group of representative automotive journalists from North America selected the 2026 Palisade as the 2026 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year. The 2025 Palisade had never been chosen.
