The overview
For its second generation, the popular three-row midsized Palisade has gone big, with an increase in size, along with more premium features, and a mildly off-road-capable trim called the XRT Pro. A hybrid version is also new. The Palisade has a new 287-hp, 3.5-liter V6 paired to an eight-speed automatic, a combination that feels lazier than the previous model. With 0 to 60 mph in 8.4 seconds, the new Palisade is one of the slowest in the class. Fuel economy fell by 1 mpg, now at 20 mpg overall. Front-wheel drive comes standard, with all-wheel drive optional. Towing is rated at 5,000 pounds. The interior, especially on the fancy Calligraphy trim we tested, gains numerous thoughtful touches, and looks and feels like a luxury model. We found the front seats reasonably comfortable, while the second row is roomy and features lots of adjustments. The third-row seat is best for kids. The updated infotainment system is easy to use, but the climate controls are trickier.

Behind the data
Latest source update: September 11, 2026
Vehicle summaries, specifications, pricing and ratings come from Consumer Reports vehicle records. Auto Guide groups these records by model and reported generation start year.
Available years are listed explicitly. Gaps do not imply that a model was discontinued. Prices are source estimates, not live offers. No first-hand road test by Auto Guide is claimed.
