New Hyundai Palisade SUVs For Sale in Knoxville, Tennessee
The redesigned 2026 Hyundai Palisade builds on everything Tennessee drivers already appreciated about this flagship three-row SUV, now with expanded accommodations, new powertrain options, more interior refinement, and a bold yet sophisticated design. From running errands around town to long family road trips, the Palisade continues to offer a class-above experience while prioritizing value and everyday practicality.
Performance
The 2026 Palisade introduces updated powertrain choices to balance efficiency with capability. The standard 3.5-liter V6 generates 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, while the eight-speed automatic transmission optimizes efficiency and smooth performance. For the first time since the nameplate's introduction, the 2026 Palisade is also available in electrified form. The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid combines a turbocharged 2.5-liter engine with two electric motors, producing an estimated 329 horsepower and strong low-end torque.
Towing strength remains a highlight. Gas models can pull up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, while the hybrid variant is rated at 4,000 pounds. Additionally, with available HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive, the Palisade remains composed whether traveling winding Tennessee roads or heading into the mountains for a weekend getaway. For Cary outdoor enthusiasts who like to venture beyond the asphalt, a new XRT Pro trim joins the Palisade lineup, adding attributes like a one-inch suspension lift, all-terrain tires, and a limited-slip rear differential.
Interior and Utility
Hyundai has given the 2026 Palisade a roomier and quieter cabin that emphasizes comfort across all three rows. A longer wheelbase helps open up legroom, while added sound insulation creates a calmer ride. Available Relaxation Seats for the first and second rows provide a cozy, supportive place to unwind, while the captain's chairs enable improved access for third-row passengers.
The 2026 Palisade reserves 19.1 cubic feet for cargo behind the third row. When you need to increase storage for your outings or adventures, you can fold the rear seats to open up 46.3 cubic feet behind the second row and 86.7 cubic feet behind the first. The 2026 Palisade is also nicely equipped with many amenities to enhance comfort and convenience. Depending on the trim level, you can find features like:
- Proximity keyless entry and push-button start
- Hyundai Digital Key 2 Touch (phone-as-a-key)
- Power-folding second-row bench

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, while a wireless charging pad and USB ports across all three rows ensure everyone can keep their devices powered for the ride.
Hyundai has also expanded convenience technologies, adding options like Digital Key 2.0, which allows entry and startup with a compatible smartphone, and an integrated two-camera Dash Cam system for added peace of mind.
