Go Farther in the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid
Hyundai is changing what drivers can expect from a three-row SUV. With impressive fuel economy, available all-wheel drive and family-friendly versatility, the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid and SANTA FE Hybrid are built to help Montana drivers spend more time on the road and less time at the pump.
Imagine leaving Kalispell with a full tank and having up to 619 miles of estimated driving range available before your next fuel stop. That's what the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid can deliver on select configurations. Alongside the fuel-efficient 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid, Hyundai now gives families two compelling ways to enjoy three-row SUV versatility while using less fuel.
619 Miles Changes the Way You Think About a Three-Row SUV
The headline number is hard to ignore. The 2026 Hyundai PALISADE Hybrid Blue SEL Premium FWD offers an EPA-estimated 33 MPG city, 35 MPG highway and 34 MPG combined. Combined with its 18.2-gallon fuel tank, Hyundai estimates a maximum driving range of up to 619 miles.
That's impressive for a spacious three-row family SUV. For Northwest Montana drivers, longer range can mean fewer stops during the workweek, more flexibility for weekend travel and more time enjoying the road instead of searching for the next gas station.

Big SUV. Big Range. Fewer Stops.
The 2026 PALISADE Hybrid combines the room and refinement families expect from Hyundai's flagship three-row SUV with a gas-electric powertrain engineered for both performance and efficiency.
Hyundai didn't simply focus on fuel economy. The PALISADE Hybrid produces 329 combined horsepower, giving drivers strong performance while still delivering up to an EPA-estimated 34 MPG combined on select front-wheel-drive configurations.

What Could 619 Miles Mean in Montana?
A long driving range isn't just an impressive number. It can make a real difference when destinations across Montana aren't always right around the corner.
Whether you're commuting throughout the Flathead Valley, heading out for a weekend adventure or loading up the family for a longer road trip, the PALISADE Hybrid's available 619-mile estimated range can mean more driving and fewer fuel stops.
No Plug Required
The PALISADE Hybrid is a traditional gas-electric hybrid, so there's no need to plug it in before heading out. The gasoline engine and electric motor work together, while the hybrid system manages energy use and regenerative charging as you drive.
For Montana drivers who want better fuel efficiency without depending on public charging infrastructure, that simplicity can be a major advantage.
2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid
Three Rows With Up to 36 MPG Combined
If you want impressive hybrid efficiency in a slightly more compact three-row SUV, the 2026 Hyundai SANTA FE Hybrid deserves a closer look.

The hybrid powertrain delivers 231 combined horsepower and 271 lb.-ft. of combined torque, balancing everyday efficiency with the performance families need.
