Diesel Is DEAD, But Does It Matter? (Hyundai Palisade 2026 Review Walkaround)

Tom Baker reveals ALL the changes to the 2026 Hyundai Palisade that will be released in late 2025 with a new hybrid engine.

DIESEL IS DEAD as Hyundai replaces the old V6 petrol and 2.2-litre diesel with a 245kW/330hp 2.5-litre turbo petrol hybrid system instead. So prices will be up, emissions down, fuel consumption should still be decent.

Plus, a 213kW/285hp 2.5-litre turbo (non-hybrid) is under consideration, as are at least two trim grades including this CALLIGRAPHY.

The Palisade sits above the SANTA FE in Hyundai’s SUV lineup and is almost like a GENESIS inside, it’s that luxurious!
