At our Hyundai dealer in Westlake Village, we can help you weigh those priorities without losing sight of what both SUVs do well. Explore our 2027 Hyundai Palisade vs. Palisade Hybrid comparison below to see how their engines, efficiency and interior features line up. Whether your schedule involves school drop-offs in Westlake Village or longer drives across Southern California, there's a Palisade worth getting to know.
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.
