Wait for 2026?
My wife and I thought we were set on the 25 Palisade but then started looking at the Santa Fe Hybrid. Both in Calligraphy trim. We really like the idea of a hybrid and overall find the tech between the two comparable. The Palisade has maybe a slight edge with ventilated second row, power folding 3rd row, massaging seats, etc but none are important enough to be deal breakers. Plus the Santa Fe has better HDA, wireless CarPlay, and Bose speakers.
The SF wins hands down for better exterior/interior color options. The blue with beige interior is awesome. We think the Pali green exterior is the best but that color only comes in black interior.
Questions: Are there any expected changes on the 26 SF? Will the 25 SF drop significantly once the 26 are out? Thoughts on new 26 Palisade hybrid?
We have a 2016 Highlander now and it’s been great so waiting another 6-8 months isn’t an issue.
