Hyundai Palisade Trims
Hyundai Palisade SE Interior
The Hyundai Palisade interior is well-equipped, even in the base trim. This model has cloth upholstery and seats eight occupants with second- and third-row benches. It comes with standard features that include a 12.3-inch touchscreen display, wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility, a six-way driver's seat, a Passenger Talk in-car intercom, Rear Seat Quiet Mode, and three-zone automatic climate control.
Hyundai Palisade SEL Convenience Interior
Upgrading to the SEL Convenience trim yields additional amenities. This Hyundai Palisade SEL interior boasts H-Tex-trimmed upholstery, an eight-way power driver's seat with two-way lumbar adjustment, heated front seats, and a seven-passenger seating configuration. You also gain access to a hands-free smart liftgate with an auto open feature, a sunroof, rear side-window sunshades, and wireless device charging.
Hyundai Palisade SEL Premium Interior
The SEL Premium also has a seven-passenger configuration and H-Tex leatherette seating surfaces, but as its name implies, it offers more premium amenities compared to the SEL Convenience. It upgrades to four-way lumbar adjustment in the driver's seat and heated and ventilated front seats. Other amenities include heated and ventilated second-row seats, a heated steering wheel, and 64-color interior ambient lighting.
Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO Interior
The XRT PRO is an off-road-focused trim that cuts down on some of the interior bells and whistles, like heated and ventilated second-row seats, in favor of increased capability and adventure-ready features. However, this Hyundai Palisade XRT interior offers an enhanced Bose® 14-speaker premium audio system and a 115-volt power outlet. Most of its upgrades can be found on its exterior and in its performance.
Hyundai Palisade Limited Interior
The penultimate trim level for the 2026 Hyundai Palisade is the Limited. It features leather-trimmed seats, heated third-row seats for cold-weather comfort for all passengers, a power-folding/unfolding third row, and acoustic-laminated rear door side glass; an acoustic-laminated windshield and acoustic-laminated front door side glass are equipped in all variants. A dual-panel sunroof is introduced in this variant, as well.
Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Interior
When you want top-of-the-line perks, go for the Calligraphy variant. Standard comforts include premium Nappa leather upholstery, an Ergo-Motion driver's seat, leg cushion extensions for the front seats, and front- and second-row relaxation seat mode. A slew of innovations also comes equipped, such as UV-C sterilization lighting in the center console for your devices, a Head-Up Display, a built-in Dash Cam in the front and rear, and more.
2026 Hyundai Palisade Specs
The refined 2026 Hyundai Palisade interior is not the only reason to consider this impressive three-row SUV. It is powered by a 3.5-liter V-6 engine that produces a robust 287 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Fuel efficiency is impressive, too, with front-wheel-drive models scoring an EPA-estimated 19/25/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 Switching to all-wheel drive changes the EPA estimate slightly to a maximum 18/24/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).1 All variants use an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Palisade SUV's cabin is commodious and full of excellent features, and its powertrain is efficient and dynamic. What's not to love? You can continue your research into Hyundai SUVs in our guide where we compare the Palisade to the Hyundai Santa Fe.
