Three-row SUVs are a major reason we see fewer minivans on the market today. They offer nearly the same passenger and towing capacities, but they look much better. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade fits that criteria perfectly, starting at an attractive $39,435 for the base SE trim.
That price climbs to $51,610 for the rugged XRT PRO trim I tested, which includes the extra conveniences I’ve come to rely on — like 360-degree cameras, all-wheel drive, and Bose premium audio. Price is where the Palisade really stands out, it’s more affordable than the $57,255 Kia Carnival I tested last year and significantly cheaper than its all-electric sibling, the 2026 Hyundai Ioniq 9, which starts at $58,955 for the base trim.
