2026 Hyundai Palisade Dimensions & Capacities

The 2026 Palisade is larger than its predecessor, creating more space for passengers and cargo. It has a wheelbase of 116.9 inches and a length of 199.2 inches (200.4 inches in the XRT PRO). Without mirrors, it is 78 inches wide, and it is 69.5 inches tall in every configuration. This SUV is designed to provide a roomy and comfortable ride.

If you're curious about the Hyundai Palisade ground clearance, it is 7.4 inches in every trim except the XRT PRO. This rugged variant adds even more clearance for a total of 8.4 inches for optimal off-roading capability.

Inside, the Hyundai Palisade seating capacity is seven or eight, depending on your selected variant from our Hyundai dealership in Roswell, NM. The entry SE trim is the only one that has an eight-passenger setup; the remaining variants all have a seven-passenger occupancy. The dimensions are comfortable in every row, too, as seen below:

If you fold the third row, this opens up to 46.3 cubic feet. For the greatest amount of Hyundai Palisade cargo space, fold the second and third rows to create 86.7 cubic feet of storage area.
