Buy a New Hyundai Palisade Spokane
The all-new Hyundai Palisade is not just redesigned for 2026 — it’s industry-validated.
In just the first part of the year, Palisade has earned some of the most prestigious recognitions in the automotive world, led by its crowning achievement as the 2026 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™. When you add major wins from MotorWeek and Kelley Blue Book, a clear pattern emerges and showcases this SUV in its true nature.
Independent experts across North America agree: the 2026 Palisade sets the benchmark in the three-row SUV segment across a variety of trim levels.

🥇 2026 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year™
|
Receiving an award by the North American Car Utility and Truck of the Year jury is widely considered one of the most respected honors in the automotive industry, and is determined by a panel of 50 leading automotive journalists from the United States and Canada representing print, digital, radio, and broadcast media.
In an independent process, not affiliated with any single publication, jurors evaluate nearly every new or significantly-redesigned vehicle on the market, giving the award exceptional credibility.
Palisade earned top honors based on:
- Available next generation hybrid powertrain delivering up to 34 mpg and over 600 miles of driving range
- Proven 3.5 liter V6 powertrain option
- Class above interior refinement and materials
- Comprehensive safety and family focused convenience features
- Expanded lineup including the new XRT PRO trim
A NACTOY win identifies the consensus benchmark vehicle in its category, and for 2026, that standard has been bestowed upon the Palisade.
