2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT Pro: Off-Road Adventure Meets Family SUV

Hyundai is taking the Palisade to new terrain—literally. For 2026, the beloved family SUV will introduce a rugged new trim: the Palisade XRT Pro, aimed at adventure-seekers who want more capability without sacrificing comfort.

Building on the current XRT trim, the XRT Pro adds serious off-road enhancements including all-terrain tires, increased ground clearance, and Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. A center locking differential boosts traction for rough conditions, making the XRT Pro the most off-road-ready Palisade yet.

While full specs haven’t been released, Hyundai confirmed that the model is coming soon, and it could help the Palisade compete more directly with off-road-friendly SUVs like the Toyota Grand Highlander or the Honda Pilot TrailSport.

Expect the XRT Pro to offer a strong balance between outdoor capability and daily family utility—ideal for weekend getaways, dirt roads, and everything in between.
