Moreover, the 3.8 V6 petrol and 2.2 turbodiesel engines, which equipped the previous generation, were discontinued in the South Korean market.
This change reflects a strategy of modernization and alignment with global sustainability trends.
Regarding prices, the figures vary according to the engine and the features included.
Starting prices are 43.830.000 won for the conventional version and 49.820.000 won for the hybrid version. – which is equivalent to approximately R$184.348 and R$209.542, respectively, in direct conversion.

The imposing front grille, modernized LED headlights and elegant side lines create a look that reflects robustness and refinement.

When will the model arrive in Brazil?
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is currently only available in the South Korean market, but the brand has confirmed that the model will be offered in other countries starting next year.
The expectation is that the SUV will also gain ground in Brazil, especially due to its features that cater to both families and executive transport companies.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian market is eagerly awaiting more details about versions and prices that will be charged locally.
According to sources from Hyundai itself, regional adjustments are made to meet the demands of each market.
