2027 Hyundai Palisade vs. Palisade Hybrid MPG Ratings & Engine

The gas-powered 2027 Hyundai Palisade pairs a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 287 horsepower, offering a familiar powertrain for drivers who prefer a conventional SUV. Its 5,000-pound towing capacity when properly equipped gives it an advantage over the hybrid's 4,000-pound rating. If pulling a recreational trailer is part of your plans, that additional capacity may help guide your choice.

The 2027 Palisade Hybrid takes a different approach, combining a turbocharged 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine with electric assistance to produce 329 combined horsepower. Its higher city and highway mpg ratings make it especially appealing for drivers looking to use less fuel while keeping the roominess of a 3-row SUV. A hybrid also fits into a familiar refueling routine, with no need to plug in.

Both versions offer available HTRAC AWD, so choosing your preferred powertrain doesn't mean giving up the option of all-wheel drive.

2027 Hyundai Palisade vs. Palisade Hybrid Features

There's plenty of common ground inside these Hyundai SUVs. Both include a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen, Rear Seat Quiet Mode and the Passenger Talk in-car intercom. From keeping audio focused toward the front of the cabin to making conversations with rear-seat passengers easier, these features address the small challenges of traveling together.

Interior space is another reason to consider either model. The gas Palisade provides slightly more total passenger volume, while both offer up to 86.7 cubic feet of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded. That means choosing the hybrid doesn't reduce the maximum space available for luggage, larger purchases or moving-day supplies.

Wireless phone charging is one distinction to keep in mind as you browse trims at our Hyundai dealership in Westlake Village. It's standard on the Palisade Hybrid and available on the gas-powered Palisade.
