Key Points
- The 2026 Hyundai Palisade offers updated design, a hybrid option, and pricing below $40,000.
- Select lease and financing deals even better than last month.
- Leases start at $409/month for non-hybrid models.
The second-generation Hyundai Palisade arrived earlier this year and is a notable improvement over the popular first-gen version. Not only does it have an ultra-modern, near-luxury look, but it comes with the option of an efficient hybrid powertrain.
With all that’s new, we were pleasantly surprised to see that the 2026 Palisade’s price still starts at under $40,000. After barely a month on sale, Hyundai is already offering cheaper leases and reduced interest rates on the three-row Palisade, making it an even better deal. Here’s everything you need to know.
Hyundai Palisade Lease Deals
If you want to lease a Hyundai Palisade, deals for the 2026 model start at $409 per month for the SE with front-wheel drive. That’s based on a 36-month term with $3,999 due at signing, and excludes registration, tax, licensing, and insurance for qualifying lessees. Lease offers run until November 3, 2025, and are based on covering up to 10,000 miles annually. Miles over and above this limit are subject to an extra charge of $0.20 per mile.
These prices are for California-based buyers, but could vary based on your location. Note that a $400 disposition fee applies in all states besides CO, IN, IA, KS, ME, OK, SC, WI, WV, and WY.
Just a month ago, the SEL Convenience with AWD cost $509/month, $20 more than it costs right now. Here’s a look at the Hyundai Palisade lease price for each trim:
| Trim | Lease Price (per month) |
| SE FWD | $409 |
| SE AWD | $429 |
| SEL Convenience FWD | $469 |
| SEL Convenience AWD | $489 |

| Limited FWD | $549 |
| Limited AWD | $569 |
| XRT Pro | $549 |

Hyundai Palisade leasing gets a lot pricier for the hybrid model, starting at $543/month for the SEL Premium FWD. The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid’s lease offers go all the way up to $756/month for the Calligraphy with AWD.
What About Financing The Palisade?
If you prefer to buy a Palisade outright, 2026 prices start at $39,435 for the SE and a much higher $47,520 for the Palisade Hybrid SEL Premium. The most expensive Palisade is the hybrid in Calligraphy guise, which costs $56,780.
Hyundai is offering 3.99% APR on non-hybrid models over 60 months, with the same expiry date of November 3. Once again, this deal excludes tax, license, title, registration and insurance fees. According to Cars Direct, this is down from 4.99% APR over 60 months previously.
For the hybrid, Hyundai is offering 4.99% APR over 60 months.
Hyundai Palisade Powertrains and Features
The regular Palisade has a 3.5-liter V6 engine producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. It has an eight-speed automatic, along with standard FWD and optional AWD. In its most efficient form, the non-hybrid Palisade manages 19/25/21 mpg city/highway/combined.
In the Palisade Hybrid, you get a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbo and electric motor combination. Combined, it makes 329 hp and 339 lb-ft, and it has a six-speed automatic with standard FWD and optional AWD. The hybrid returns 33/35/34 mpg with FWD.
Standard features on the Palisade include the following:
- 12.3-inch color touchscreen
- Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- Three-zone automatic climate control
- Smart cruise control
- Blind-spot collision warning
- Front/rear parking sensors
The Palisade can be upgraded to a level that will challenge more prestigious luxury SUVs. You can add second-row captain’s chairs, heated/ventilated seats in the first two rows, a Bose sound system, and premium Nappa leather upholstery.
Final Thoughts
The new Hyundai Palisade is quite simply one of the best three-row crossovers on sale right now, even if the top trims are pricey. It looks more premium than most rivals, is practical, and you can even get a rugged XRT Pro trim.
Depending on your location and the trim, Palisade lease deals can be had for even less than a month ago. It’s not often prices of such new models drop, so take advantage while you still can.
