When it comes to midsize SUVs, the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE is a great option, and even moreso, the XRT trim level has a wide range of amenities for you to enjoy. After you read our short overview, be sure to fill out a finance application with us here at Pohanka Hyundai of Capitol Heights to get behind the wheel of this model.
Performance
Like with other trim levels of the Hyundai PALISADE, the XRT has a 3.5L 6-cylinder engine bringing it to life with up to 287 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque coursing throughout the system. Your drives around Alexandria and beyond will be aided with the HTRAC AWD, which will provide strength to each wheel to give you more traction when you come across snowy or uneven terrain ahead of you. Whether you enjoy having the changing of gears taken care of for you or if you want a more manual approach, you’ll be satisfied with the 8-speed automatic transmission and Shift-by-Wire paddle shifters. In addition to the Eco, Sport, and My Drive modes that come on other trim levels, this one also has Mud, Snow, Sand options. Each of these functions can alter how the vehicle operates in certain situations so that you’re well equipped to handle a variety of issues.
Exterior
When you first lay your eyes on the 2026 Hyundai PALISADE XRT, you’ll see the style that it exudes. While you make your way to Jones Point Park, the 18-inch XRT exclusive wheels will carry you high above the road. Your weekly errand runs will get a whole lot easier thanks to the hands-free smart liftgate at the back of this vehicle. By detecting the presence of your key fob, this feature can let you access the rear storage area without even needing to put any objects down. If you’re hoping to haul something a little larger, like a bike, kayak, or home improvement materials, then you can load them atop the black roof rails, which also look stunning even if they’re empty. During bright summer days, you can breathe some life into the cabin when you open up the sunroof.
Interior
You and your passengers in the back will love the many amenities that the 2026 PALISADE XRT brings to your trips down I-495. Whatever the weather is like, the heated and ventilated front seats can be activated to either keep you warm or cool. Feel free to relax on your drive home after work with the 8-way power adjustable front seats cradling you. The kids in the back won’t get jealous since they’ll get a slice of luxury with the second-row captains chairs that feature one touch slide capabilities. When you need to speak clearly with those in the back, you can use the Passenger Talk in-car intercom that utilizes microphones and speakers. Lastly, you, your co-pilot, and those in the second-row can enjoy the three zone automatic climate control system that can keep multiple passengers satisfied at once. To feel this car’s amenities for yourself, be sure to schedule a test drive with us!

Testimonials
★★★★★ You’ll Want to Read This One to the End In June,
Close 

“ ★★★★★ You’ll Want to Read This One to the End In June, my daughter was involved in an accident caused by an uninsured driver, and her car was totaled. Understandably, we were anxious to find a replacement as quickly as possible. We considered Mazda, Toyota, Honda, Ford, and Hyundai. After test-driving the Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited, my daughter knew it was the vehicle she wanted. Since we live in Fairfax, we contacted and visited nearly every Hyundai dealership in Northern Virginia searching for a white Tucson Hybrid Limited with a gray interior. Unfortunately, several dealerships told us over the phone that they had the vehicle, only for us to arrive and hear that it had “just sold”—or, in some cases, learn that they had never had it at all and were simply trying to get us into the showroom. Sheehy Hyundai was the most disappointing. They assured us they had the vehicle, but after we made the drive and explained the exact color combination we wanted, they quickly dismissed us when they realized it was not on their lot. Every dealership seemed interested only in selling us something they already had in inventory. That completely changed when we arrived at Pohanka Hyundai. Rod warmly welcomed us and genuinely listened to what we were looking for: a white Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited with a gray interior. Instead of trying to convince us to settle for another vehicle, Rod and Luis Lemus immediately went to work locating the exact Tucson my daughter wanted. Within 30 minutes, they told us they had found one and could have it ready for us that evening. My daughter completed the paperwork and applied for 100% financing online. When we returned that evening, the vehicle was ready. We completed the transaction with Joann Nolta in approximately 10 minutes, and Rod was waiting out front to personally deliver the car. The entire process was professional, efficient, honest, and completely stress-free. Rod, Luis, and Joann turned what had been a frustrating search into one of the easiest car-buying experiences we have ever had. I wish buying a new vehicle were this simple at every dealership. Pohanka Hyundai truly earned this five-star review. ”
