The Hyundai Palisade 2026 marks a fresh chapter in the world of large family SUVs. After earning the trust of drivers in the Emirates with its stylish design, generous space, and advanced features, the Palisade continues the success story that started with the previous generation. This model has carved out its spot among the best seven seat SUVs, now available across Juma Al Majid showrooms throughout the UAE. The new Palisade aims at the next generation of drivers who want a vehicle that meets every daily need, from family commutes to long desert trips and intercity travel.

Bold New Design and Striking Road Presence

The Hyundai Palisade 2026 stands out with its bold, modern styling that gives it a strong personality on the road. Key highlights include:

  • A vertical front fascia with a large grille that signals luxury and delivers a commanding presence in the rearview mirror

  • Slim front lights with a distinctive light signature that defines the car’s identity at night

  • Sculpted hood and sharp sides that give a sense of power and durability

  • Balanced proportions between length and height, with a sloping roof that adds a sleek look without sacrificing cabin space

  • Modern, large alloy wheels that create a stable, planted look and deliver a comfortable ride

  • A wide selection of exterior colors, letting customers choose between classic shades or bolder options that stand out

These fresh design touches fit perfectly with the lifestyle in the Emirates, making the Palisade just as at home in front of luxury hotels in Dubai or Abu Dhabi as it is in family neighborhoods across Sharjah or Al Ain.

Refined Cabin and Family Friendly Features

Hyundai has enhanced the Palisade’s interior to offer an experience that rivals luxury SUVs through:

  • Dual large screens for infotainment, providing seamless smartphone integration

  • Comfortable seats with lumbar support and power adjustment available in higher trims

  • Independent climate control for each row, ensuring maximum comfort for all passengers

  • Extended wheelbase that creates more legroom for the second and third rows

  • Fast fold and slide seat mechanisms that make entering and exiting the third row easy

  • Improved sound and vibration insulation, delivering a quieter environment for family journeys

  • Ergonomic screen and dashboard layout, giving the driver clear visibility and intuitive controls

These upgrades make the Palisade ideal for families who rely on a single SUV for long distance trips across the UAE, and for drivers who spend hours navigating city traffic on Sheikh Zayed Road or Mohammed bin Zayed Road.

Advanced Performance and Hybrid Options for the Future


Hyundai keeps pace with UAE market expectations by introducing multiple powertrain choices, including:

  • A 2.5 liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivering strong power and smooth acceleration, suited for highways

  • A hybrid system that combines a turbo engine with two electric motors to balance performance with fuel efficiency

  • Noticeable improvements in fuel consumption as reflected in international reviews

  • Availability of both all wheel drive and front wheel drive depending on the model

  • Current generation prices ranging from 142,000 to 190,000 AED, with slight increases expected for the new model given its advanced features

The Palisade also focuses on:

  • Driver assist systems such as lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and adaptive cruise control

  • Hassle free maintenance and extended warranty through the trusted local distributor Juma Al Majid

  • Comprehensive maintenance contracts and after sales services across the Emirates

All these elements combine to make the Hyundai Palisade 2026 a complete package for families seeking an SUV that offers modern design, spacious comfort, advanced technology, robust performance, and reliable after sales support, strengthening its position as a standout choice in the UAE’s competitive family SUV segment.
