The Hyundai Palisade is a full-size three-row SUV that competes at the premium end of the mainstream family segment — offering genuine eight-seat practicality, a refined interior, and a level of standard equipment that rivals more expensive European alternatives. In the UAE, prices start from AED 142,000 for the R 2.2L Diesel variant.
The 2026 UAE range leads with a naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 295 BHP, paired with an Automatic gearbox — strong enough to move all eight occupants comfortably at motorway speeds. The entry R 2.2L Diesel provides a diesel-powered option for buyers prioritising running costs, while the top-spec 3.8 V6 Calligraphy steps up to quilted Nappa leather seating, a heads-up display, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a Bose premium audio system — a meaningful upgrade in comfort and technology. The diesel variant offers better fuel efficiency for long-distance UAE driving; the 3.8 V6 Calligraphy is the prestige choice for buyers who prioritise interior finish.
Pros: the Palisade's second-row seats recline and slide, making it unusually comfortable for a family hauler — a real differentiator over rivals like the Kia Sorento. Cabin materials at the 3.8 V6 Calligraphy level rival luxury-branded SUVs costing considerably more. Cons: at 8 Km/L on a mixed cycle, the petrol is thirstier than turbocharged rivals in this class; buyers covering high mileage should consider the diesel. The exterior design is conservative — it blends into the SUV crowd more than the Palisade's interior quality would suggest.
No residual value data is currently available for the Palisade in the UAE market. As a well-regarded full-size family SUV from a brand with strong regional dealer support, it is likely to hold value in line with mainstream Korean competitors — though buyers should verify current used pricing before committing.
Key rivals worth comparing include the Kia Sorento, Toyota Highlander and Nissan Murano, all competing for the same buyers in this bracket.
