The 2025 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid launches with improved efficiency, luxury features, and hybrid power, priced higher despite minor flaws.

The 2025 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid debuts with a 2.5L turbo-petrol engine and two electric motors, delivering 245kW and 460Nm, achieving 6.8L/100km fuel economy—up from the previous model’s 10.7L/100km. It offers electric-only driving up to 50km/h, a refined interior with Nappa leather, a suede roof, dual 12.3-inch curved screens, Bose audio, wireless charging, and advanced driver aids. The seven-seat layout includes captain’s chairs and electrically reclining third-row seats. A full-size spare and V2L power outlet are included, though 21-inch alloys amplify road noise. A rugged XRT Pro version is expected in early 2026. Despite its high price and minor build quality issues, the Palisade Hybrid stands out for its luxury, tech, and efficiency.
