Traveling in style, the 2026 Palisade Hybrid NHL Edition features a Creamy White matte finish, exclusive to this seven-seat crossover. Buyers can also look forward to a dual-pane sunroof and 21-inch alloy wheels adorned with special center caps showcasing their chosen NHL team logo.
More significant updates are visible inside, as this special edition showcases an exclusive Grey Charcoal Nappa leather interior. The plush seating is complemented by Luxwood door sill plates, unique floor mats, floor liners, and a cargo tray, all sourced from Canadian companies and customizable with the NHL team logo of the buyer’s preference.
As this special edition is derived from the top-tier Palisade Ultimate Calligraphy Hybrid, it comes well-equipped with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, a 12.3-inch infotainment system, and a 14-speaker Bose premium sound system. Additional tech features include a built-in dashcam and a wireless phone charging station.
The extensive list of features continues with heated and ventilated front seats, as well as second-row captain’s chairs that also offer heating and ventilation. Buyers will benefit from a heated leather steering wheel, a microfiber suede headliner, ambiance lighting, and a digital rearview mirror equipped with HomeLink.
The remarkable array of equipment continues with an extensive suite of driver assistance technologies, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Highway Driving Assist II, and Remote Smart Parking Assist. Other features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist, High Beam Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, among others.
Powering this vehicle is an eco-friendly setup that features a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a 1.65 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, a six-speed automatic transmission, and two electric motors, generating a combined output of 329 hp (245 kW / 334 PS) and 339 lb-ft (459 Nm) of torque. Importantly, the all-wheel-drive variant achieves a fuel efficiency of 8.1 L/100 km (29 mpg US) combined.
As an additional incentive, the special edition includes an exclusive Hyundai x NHL Yeti Roadie 32 wheeled cooler. Purchasers will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a trip to a Stanley Cup game.
Production is restricted to 500 units, with a starting price of $68,899 CAD, plus a $2,100 CAD destination charge. This translates to approximately $51,545 USD, which is a great deal considering the non-hybrid US Palisade Calligraphy starts at $54,560, excluding a $1,600 delivery charge.
