Jones Junction - Trail-Ready Calm and Everyday Comfort - Why the 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO Fits Rosedale, MD Families
Adventure looks different for every family around Rosedale, MD, but the common thread is confidence. That’s exactly what the 2026 Hyundai Palisade XRT PRO delivers, pairing premium quiet with trail-forward hardware that makes every weekend easier to plan and enjoy. This is the first Hyundai to wear the XRT PRO badge, and it goes far beyond appearance upgrades. You get 8.4 inches of ground clearance, an electronic rear limited-slip differential for sure-footed traction, and all-terrain 255/60R18 tires that stay composed when the pavement ends. Real-time pitch and roll readouts, a Surround View Monitor with forward ground view, and exposed canyon red recovery hooks are purpose-built additions that reinforce the XRT PRO’s mission, while the available Bose® 14-speaker audio and a power moonroof remind you this is still a flagship family SUV at heart.
Inside, XRT PRO tempers rugged readiness with thoughtful comforts. H-Tex leatherette seating with front heating and ventilation, a heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and an integrated 115-volt outlet shore up everyday livability. The panoramic, curved digital interface with dual 12.3-inch displays brings your information into easy view, and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ make device integration seamless. For the unpredictable moments between errands and excursions, Hyundai SmartSense technologies add a reassuring layer of help—think Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse. Tow Mode and the factory-installed OEM hitch come ready for your lightweight campers and seasonal gear when properly equipped, and HTRAC® AWD with Mud, Sand, and Snow Terrain modes keep traction at the forefront when weather moves in, or the trail gets rutted.
