2027 Hyundai Palisade HEV nearby Conway, SC
The 2027 Hyundai Palisade HEV combines a turbocharged gasoline engine, two electric motors, and a lithium-ion battery within a three-row unibody platform. The hybrid powertrain produces 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of total system torque through a six-speed automatic transmission. The lineup includes front-wheel-drive configurations and available HTRAC active on-demand all-wheel drive. Independent suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, selectable drive modes, connected technology, and an extensive group of driver-assistance systems support its technical design. Seven- and eight-passenger seating arrangements address different passenger requirements, while three rows of seating and configurable cargo space provide functional flexibility. Its engineering also includes trim-specific comfort, parking, visibility, and convenience equipment.
Hybrid powertrain and vehicle dynamics
The 2027 Hyundai Palisade HEV coordinates gasoline and electric power through an integrated hybrid system. Its mechanical layout includes a 2.5-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine, two electric motors, and a six-speed automatic transmission. Eco, Sport, and My Drive settings allow the driver to adjust vehicle operation through a dash-mounted button and toggle switch. A dedicated Tow mode is also standard, while all-wheel-drive configurations include Mud, Snow, and Sand terrain settings. These selectable modes give the driver access to settings that address powertrain response, traction conditions, and trailering operation.
Turbocharged engine and electric motors
The 2.5-liter Turbo-GDI engine uses a dual overhead camshaft design with 16 valves and 2,497 cc of displacement. Its aluminum construction incorporates an 88.5 mm bore, a 101.5 mm stroke, and a 12.0:1 compression ratio. The gasoline engine independently produces 258 horsepower at 5,800 rpm and 260 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 to 4,500 rpm. A P1 electric motor contributes 17 horsepower from 1,300 to 2,500 rpm and 75 lb-ft of torque at 1,200 rpm. The P2 motor produces 72 horsepower from 2,000 to 3,000 rpm and 195 lb-ft of torque at approximately 1,900 rpm. Coordinated operation of the engine and motors results in a total system output of 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque.
Battery, transmission, and drivetrain
A 300-volt lithium-ion battery supplies energy to the electrical portion of the hybrid system. The battery carries a 5.5-Ah rating, provides 1.65 kWh of system capacity, and delivers 64 kW of power output. Hyundai integrates the P1 and P2 motors into a six-speed TMED-II automatic transmission. Shift-by-wire controls and paddle shifters are standard, while the transmission uses a 5.269 first-gear ratio and a 0.790 sixth-gear ratio. Front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations share a 3.759 final-drive ratio. The powertrain operates on regular unleaded gasoline and uses an 18.2-gallon fuel tank.
EPA fuel-economy ratings vary by drivetrain and trim. Hybrid Blue front-wheel-drive models carry ratings of 33 mpg city, 35 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined. Limited and Calligraphy front-wheel-drive configurations are rated at 31 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, and 31 mpg combined. All-wheel-drive hybrid models carry ratings of 29 mpg city, 31 mpg highway, and 30 mpg combined. The hybrid system also has a smog score of six and a fuel economy and greenhouse gas rating of six for both front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
Steering, suspension, and braking systems
The 2027 Hyundai Palisade HEV uses column-mounted motor-driven power steering with a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The system has a 14.3:1 overall steering ratio and requires 2.8 turns from lock to lock. A 39.2-foot curb-to-curb turning diameter defines the space needed to complete a turn. The front suspension uses MacPherson® struts, coil springs, and a stabilizer bar. At the rear, an independent multi-link arrangement combines separated springs and shock absorbers with another stabilizer bar. A standard self-leveling rear suspension helps the chassis maintain its intended position as vehicle loading changes.
Braking hardware consists of 345-by-30-mm ventilated front discs and 325-by-20-mm solid rear discs. The anti-lock braking system uses four channels and four sensors while working with Electronic Brake-force Distribution. Brake Assist and Hillstart Assist Control are standard across the lineup. All-wheel-drive models also receive driver-selectable Downhill Brake Control. An electronic parking brake with Auto Vehicle Hold manages stationary operation without requiring a conventional hand-operated parking brake. These systems work alongside the independent suspension and power steering to support controlled vehicle operation.
