If you're looking for a premium three-row SUV without paying luxury-brand money, this 2026 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD needs to be at the top of your list.

The redesigned 2026 Palisade is Hyundai's feature-rich three-row SUV, and Calligraphy represents the flagship luxury trim. Hyundai equips the 2026 Palisade with a 287-horsepower 3.5L V6, while this vehicle's HTRAC All-Wheel Drive adds the year-round capability Chicagoland drivers want.

This isn't simply a family SUV. The Calligraphy combines genuine premium materials, sophisticated technology, three-row versatility, advanced driver assistance and upscale road presence in one exceptionally well-equipped package.

3.5L V6 287 HORSEPOWER

Under the hood, the redesigned Palisade uses a 3.5-liter V6 producing 287 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

That gives the Palisade the smooth, naturally aspirated V6 power delivery many SUV buyers still prefer.

Whether you're commuting, loading the family for a road trip or merging onto the highway with passengers and cargo aboard, this is a powertrain designed around confident everyday usability.

HTRAC ALL-WHEEL DRIVE

For Northern Illinois, the AWD configuration makes this Palisade especially desirable.

Hyundai's HTRAC AWD gives you additional traction when road conditions deteriorate, while AWD models also receive terrain selections for Mud, Snow and Sand.

That makes this Calligraphy an excellent year-round family vehicle for:

Snow-covered roads
Heavy rain
Highway commuting
Family road trips
Weekend travel
Illinois winters

You get premium-SUV comfort without giving up all-weather confidence.

The cabin is designed to feel substantially more upscale than you might expect from a mainstream SUV.

Nappa leather-trimmed seating establishes the luxury feel immediately, while the second-row captain's chairs create a true premium passenger environment.

Even better, Calligraphy offers front and second-row relaxation functionality, allowing passengers to get comfortable on longer drives.

This isn't simply transportation for seven people.

It's designed to make all seven passengers comfortable.

HEATED AND VENTILATED SEATING THROUGHOUT THE CABIN

The Calligraphy's seating equipment is exceptional for a family SUV.

You get:

Heated front seats
Ventilated front seats
Heated second-row seats
Ventilated second-row seats
