2027 Hyundai Palisade: A Three-Row SUV Built Around the Full Schedule

The gas-powered 2027 Hyundai Palisade is Hyundai’s flagship three-row SUV, designed to handle busy daily routines and longer trips beyond Baytown. Its broad trim range lets shoppers choose a family-focused configuration that emphasizes practical utility, added comfort, or more specialized capability.

The gas lineup includes SE, SEL, SEL Premium, XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy trims. Hyundai also offers a separate Palisade Hybrid with its own specifications; the details below apply only to the gas-powered Palisade.

XRT PRO Brings Added Capability to the Palisade Formula

XRT PRO builds on the drivetrain, tire, and towing equipment covered above with hardware and information displays specific to this trim. An electronic limited-slip differential works with 8.4 inches of ground clearance and revised approach and departure angles to improve flexibility on loose or uneven surfaces. Dedicated pitch, roll, oil-temperature, and transmission-temperature displays help the driver monitor key conditions. A 115-volt power outlet and black exterior accents round out the XRT PRO package. This configuration is suited to campsites, unpaved access roads, and other moderate outdoor use while remaining a family-oriented three-row SUV rather than a specialized heavy-duty off-road vehicle.

Space and Comfort Across Three Rows

The 2027 Hyundai Palisade interior combines three-row flexibility with trim-specific comfort upgrades and cargo space that adapts as seats fold.

Seating and Access

• SE: Eight seats with a second-row bench
• SEL, SEL Premium, and Limited: Seven seats with captain’s chairs and an available eight-passenger configuration
• XRT PRO and Calligraphy: Seven-passenger seating
• All trims: One-touch second-row seat slide for third-row access and a 60/40 split-folding third row

Passenger Space and Climate Control

• 44.2 inches of front-row legroom
• 43 inches of second-row legroom in gas models
• 32.1 inches of third-row legroom
• Standard three-zone automatic climate control, second-row controls, and vents for the second and third rows

Cargo Capacity

• 19.1 cubic feet behind the third row
• 46.3 cubic feet behind the second row
• 86.7 cubic feet behind the front seats
• Standard underfloor storage for smaller items

Materials and Comfort by Trim

Cabin appointments progress through the lineup. The SE uses cloth seating. SEL adds H-Tex® leatherette and heated front seats, while SEL Premium pairs H-Tex® leatherette with ventilated front seats. XRT PRO also uses H-Tex® leatherette. Limited moves to leather-trimmed seats and adds a heated third row. Calligraphy features Premium Nappa Leather, power-adjustable second-row seats, and front- and second-row Relaxation Mode.

Strong Proportions With Everyday Function

The 2027 Palisade has an upright, substantial shape that supports three-row passenger space without relying on decorative excess. Most trims measure 199.2 inches long, while Calligraphy extends to 199.4 inches and XRT PRO measures 200.4 inches. Every version is 78 inches wide, 69.5 inches tall, and built on a 116.9-inch wheelbase.

Functional details are integrated throughout the exterior. LED projector headlights, LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, High Beam Assist, heated power side mirrors, and a Tailgate Emergency Lamp are standard. SEL and above add a Hands Free Smart Liftgate with quick-open, automatic-open, and adjustable-height functions. Roof rails begin with SEL, and trim-specific wheel designs help distinguish each version.

Wheel sizing also reflects each trim’s purpose. SE, SEL, and SEL Premium use 18-inch alloy wheels. XRT PRO pairs 18-inch alloys with all-terrain tires, Limited moves to 20-inch alloys, and Calligraphy uses 21-inch alloys. SEL Premium and XRT PRO include a conventional sunroof, while Limited and Calligraphy use a dual-pane design. Hyundai’s official 2027 specification sheet does not list exterior paint choices, so shoppers should confirm current color and trim combinations with Baytown Hyundai.

V6 Power, HTRAC AWD, and 5,000-Pound Towing

Every gas-powered 2027 Palisade uses a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. An eight-speed automatic transmission and Shift-by-Wire controls with paddle shifters are standard. The shared powertrain keeps performance consistent across the lineup, allowing trim choice to focus primarily on seating, comfort, technology, and capability equipment.

Front-wheel drive is standard on most trims. HTRAC All-Wheel Drive is available and comes standard on XRT PRO. Every Palisade includes Eco, Sport, and My Drive settings, plus a dedicated TOW mode. AWD models add Mud, Snow, and Sand terrain settings, giving the driver more ways to tailor power delivery to changing road or surface conditions.

A self-leveling rear suspension is standard across the lineup. This helps the Palisade manage changing passenger and cargo loads while preserving composed road manners. A 39.2-foot curb-to-curb turning diameter on most models also supports parking-lot maneuverability for an SUV with three seating rows.

When equipped with trailer brakes and used within all published limits, the gas Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds. The maximum is 1,650 pounds without trailer brakes. A trailering package with trailer prewiring, heavy-duty engine and transmission coolers, and Trailer Sway Control is standard, while the factory-installed tow hitch is included on XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy.

Technology That Reaches Every Row

The 2027 Hyundai Palisade technology package extends useful connectivity and communication tools throughout the cabin. Dynamic Voice Recognition, Passenger Talk in-car intercom, Rear Seat Quiet Mode, and connectivity for up to two devices are standard. Six high-power USB-C ports are distributed across all three rows, giving passengers multiple charging points on longer drives.

Five notable technology features include:

• 12.3-inch touchscreen with navigation: Standard across the lineup for maps, media, and vehicle functions
• Wireless smartphone integration: Standard Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ reduce the need for a cable during routine use
• 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster: Standard on SEL and above, replacing the SE’s 4.2-inch color multi-information display
• Surround View Monitor: Standard on SEL Premium, XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy to provide added perspective during low-speed maneuvering
• Available Calligraphy display and camera technology: A 12-inch color head-up display and built-in front-and-rear dash cam are standard on Calligraphy

Wireless device charging begins with SEL. SEL Premium and above also add Hyundai Digital Key 2 Premium and Blind-Spot View Monitor. XRT PRO, Limited, and Calligraphy include a Bose 14-speaker premium audio system, while Calligraphy further adds Remote Smart Parking Assist.

Safety Support for Driving and Passenger Care

The Palisade combines passive protection, child-passenger provisions, and driver-assistance systems across the gas lineup. Ten airbags are standard, including a front-center airbag and driver knee airbag. The second row provides two LATCH anchors and three tethers when equipped with the bench seat, and the third row also provides two LATCH anchors and three tethers.

Five notable safety and driver-assistance features are:

• Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist: Standard with car, pedestrian, and cyclist detection, plus junction-turning and direct-oncoming support.
• Blind-Spot Collision Warning: Standard across the gas lineup to help monitor adjacent areas during lane changes.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist: Standard to provide alerts and braking support when reversing in defined situations.
• Lane Keeping Assist and Lane Following Assist 2: Standard systems that provide steering support under their operating conditions.
• Safe Exit Assist: Standard with a rear-door indicator to help occupants account for approaching traffic before opening a rear door.

Every trim also includes Forward Attention Warning, Driver Attention Warning, front and rear Parking Distance Warning, Smart Cruise Control 2 with Emergency Stop, Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Curve Control, and Highway Driving Assist. Calligraphy adds Highway Driving Assist 2, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, and a more extensive version of Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. These systems have operating limits and do not replace attentive driving, proper vehicle control, or sound judgment.
