Hyundai Palisade Performance Overview
Hyundai’s three-row Palisade has been in production from 2020 to 2026, and across 10 verified tests it has established a consistent midsize-SUV performance profile rather than a wide spread of results. Early examples were powered by a naturally aspirated V6, with output in the broader range rising from 287 to 329 hp as the lineup expanded to include hybrid variants. The first benchmark came with the 2020 Limited HTRAC at 6.8 seconds to 60 mph, setting the initial pace for the model line.
Mid-cycle testing produced the nameplate’s quickest published results. The 2023 XRT HTRAC reached 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and covered the quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds at 95 mph, both the fastest figures recorded for the Palisade so far. Other tested versions stayed close to that range, keeping the model’s overall average at 7.13 seconds to 60 mph and 15.37 seconds in the quarter-mile.
Today, Palisade performance remains defined by steady, usable acceleration across gasoline and hybrid configurations rather than a dramatic generational shift, since all recorded tests fall within the same 2020–2026 run. At the current end of the data, the 2026 XRT Pro HTRAC posts the slowest verified 0–60 time at 8.1 seconds, framing the present tested range from best to worst.
