Jones Bel Air Hyundai - Why the 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO Suits Weekend Trails around Baltimore, MD
The 2026 Palisade XRT PRO brings real-world hardware to your weekend adventures without asking you to compromise on everyday family comfort. It starts with HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive, new Mud, Sand, and Snow terrain modes, and an XRT PRO-exclusive electronic rear limited-slip differential that helps apportion torque side to side when the trail gets rutted or slick. Ground clearance rises to 8.4 inches, and improved approach, departure, and breakover geometry adds confidence when you transition off pavement. All-terrain 255/60R18 tires, a beefier lower fascia, and functional canyon red recovery hooks telegraph readiness—while inside, H-Tex leatherette with heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and a Bose® 14-speaker system keep the cabin relaxing after a day outdoors.
Visibility and awareness matter on technical terrain, so XRT PRO equips a Surround View Monitor with forward ground view and Blind Spot View Monitor, plus real-time pitch and roll, compass, and elevation displays. For towing bikes, kayaks, or a small camper, an OEM tow hitch is integrated from the factory and Tow Mode fine-tunes shift logic for smooth, steady performance. The panoramic, curved dual 12.3-inch displays present camera feeds and navigation clearly, and the built-in dual-camera Dash Cam can document your favorite trailhead or help log drives for peace of mind. Add in wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for simple smartphone integration, 100-watt-capable USB-C ports in each row, and Bluelink® with wireless OTA updates, and the XRT PRO proves that capability and modern tech can live together comfortably.
- Capability that inspires confidence: HTRAC® AWD, terrain modes, eLSD, and all-terrain tires come together for traction you can trust.
- Visibility where it counts: Surround View Monitor with forward ground view plus Blind Spot View Monitor support smart decisions off pavement.
- Factory-integrated utility: OEM tow hitch and Tow Mode make hauling gear seamless and tidy.
- Comfort after the trail: Heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and H-Tex leatherette keep the cabin inviting.
- Seamless connectivity: Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, 100-watt USB-C ports, and OTA updates keep tech simple.
Families who split time between school runs and state-park trailheads will appreciate how the XRT PRO’s tuning and hardware make quick work of muddy boat launches or snowy driveways. The cabin’s thoughtful storage solutions—like a double-door center stack with an open lower tray—and the calm, quiet ride courtesy of laminated glass and extensive insulation also make daily commuting feel refined. Digital Key 2.0 Premium support lets you lock, unlock, start, and even share access from compatible smartphones or smartwatches, while the available full-display digital center rearview mirror keeps your sightline clear even when the cargo area is stacked with camping gear.
