Hyundai has made some exciting changes to its lineup for 2026, making some of the top models even more stylish and high performing. The Hyundai Palisade has been reimagined to deliver more of what you want from an SUV, while the Hyundai IONIQ 9 is a completely new model. At Hyundai Escondido, we're proud to offer these vehicles in our new inventory, and we look forward to showing you all their new features.
2026 Hyundai Palisade
The Hyundai Palisade has been a huge hit since its debut in 2020. For 2026, the Palisade is longer, bigger, and boxier. Bold lighting elements help it stand out on the streets of San Marcos. A rugged new Palisade XRT model rides on a raised suspension for heightened off-road capability. It also offers terrain-specific driving modes that help you traverse rough landscapes near Vista.
An advanced hybrid powertrain is now available in the Palisade that produces a combined 329 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque. It should also earn better fuel economy than the gas-only engine. The 2026 Hyundai Palisade's size increase will enable more passenger and cargo space, allowing you to bring all your gear along for your adventures in Carlsbad. It also has a more modern-looking interior design with nicer materials.
2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9
If you want an eco-friendlier SUV, the all-new 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is our largest and most advanced EV ever. This three-row electric SUV has ample space for six to seven passengers and all their cargo. El Cajon drivers won't have range anxiety with the IONIQ 9, which can go up to 335 miles per charge when properly equipped. It can also be recharged from 10–80% in just 24 minutes via 350-kW DC fast charging, allowing you to get back on the road quickly.
The 2026 Hyundai IONIQ 9 is packed with user-friendly tech features for your comfort and convenience. Panoramic 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment system and the digital gauge cluster have sharp graphics and the capability to perform over-the-air software updates. An available panoramic sunroof brightens the cabin on sunny days in San Marcos.
