The 2026 Hyundai Palisade Elite is the entry point to the second-generation eight-seat family SUV, using a 245kW/460Nm 2.5-litre turbo-petrol hybrid with all-wheel drive and a claimed 6.8L/100km. It brings the same 5-star ANCAP safety and roomy three-row cabin as the flagship at a lower price, trading away the Calligraphy's ventilated seats, memory driver's seat and other luxury touches. It is a strong pick if you want the hybrid drivetrain and space without paying for the top-grade extras.

With eight seats, 2,000kg braked towing and a 5-star ANCAP rating, it is a genuine flagship family hauler.

Seven seats, 2,000kg braked towing and a 5-star ANCAP rating round out a premium family SUV.

It has less power than the V6 but more torque and much better economy at 7.3L/100km combined, which is why it is the one most families ended up in. Eight seats are standard, with 311 litres behind the third row.

The Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro is the off-road-focused version of Hyundai's large seven-seat SUV, confirmed for Australia but not yet on sale and not yet priced. It rides 25mm higher than the standard car at 213mm of ground clearance, on 18-inch alloys with 255/60R18 all-terrain tyres, and adds a rear electronic limited-slip differential and revised bumpers for better clearance angles: 20.5 degrees approach, 22.4 departure and 18.3 breakover. Australia gets the non-hybrid 2.5-litre turbo-petrol four with all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic, though Hyundai Australia has not confirmed the local power output, so no figure is published here. Seven- and eight-seat layouts are expected. Pricing has not been announced.

It is the smoother and cheaper of the two Palisade powertrains but it is thirsty for a family SUV at 10.7L/100km combined and 251g/km CO2.
