Stevens Point Auto Center – 2026 Palisade XRT PRO — Family-Ready Capability around Plover, WI

When your weekly routine and weekend adventures share equal billing, the 2026 PALISADE XRT PRO rises to the occasion with authentic capability and the refinement families expect. This trim brings Hyundai’s first XRT PRO nameplate to life with targeted hardware that builds real confidence on challenging surfaces—without turning daily driving into a compromise. It is the rare three-row SUV that feels just as calm on the interstate as it does composed on a rutted trail to your favorite campsite outside Plover, WI.

Start with traction and control. XRT PRO features an exclusive electronic rear limited-slip differential that actively manages torque delivery to help you keep moving when one wheel is light or slippery. Pair that with 8.4 inches of ground clearance and improved approach, departure, and breakover angles, and you have meaningful extra room to navigate uneven terrain. Hyundai’s HTRAC® All-Wheel Drive integrates Mud, Sand, and Snow terrain modes for confidence in seasonal weather, while Downhill Brake Control helps you descend with steady ease. It all adds up to poised handling that feels intuitive, not intimidating.

• Exclusive traction tech: An electronic rear limited-slip differential helps optimize torque where you need it.
• Trail geometry: 8.4-inch clearance plus improved approach, departure, and breakover angles for off-pavement confidence.
• Purposeful tires: All-terrain 255/60R18 tires balance grip and comfort for mixed-surface driving.
• Built-in recovery points: Functional canyon red hooks at both ends offer extra preparedness on backroads.
• Towing confidence: Tow Mode and an OEM tow hitch integrate trailering capability with refined shift logic.

Beyond its trail chops, XRT PRO keeps the everyday premium. The cabin adds H-Tex leatherette seating surfaces with front-row heating and ventilation and a heated steering wheel, while ambient lighting sets a relaxed mood. A Bose® 14-speaker audio system brings rich, lifelike sound to all three rows. The power moonroof brightens the cabin, and the panoramic curved display keeps information easy to read at a glance. The wireless charging pad with a cooling fan, widespread 100-watt USB-C ports, and available Wi-Fi hotspot capability make it simple for the whole crew to stay powered and connected.

Safety and visibility take center stage, too. XRT PRO includes Surround View Monitor with forward ground view and Blind Spot View Monitor to broaden your perspective in tight spots or on narrow wooded lanes. Hyundai SmartSense technologies bolster confidence with features such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist-Reverse. The built-in dual-camera Dash Cam can continuously record drives and capture events automatically, adding everyday peace of mind.

1. Assess your routes: If your plans include unpaved access roads or winter cabin drives, the added ground clearance and eLSD will immediately pay dividends.
2. Consider family comfort: Heated and ventilated front seats, a heated wheel, and refined noise tuning make long days feel shorter.
3. Think about visibility: Surround View Monitor and Blind Spot View Monitor help on trails, in parking lots, and everywhere in between.
4. Plan for gear: The integrated OEM tow hitch and Tow Mode offer smart towing capability for campers and small trailers.

Technology that simplifies life is core to the equation. The 2026 Palisade lineup supports the latest Digital Key 2, so you can lock, unlock, and start using a compatible smartphone or smartwatch. Wireless Over-the-Air updates help your systems stay current, and Bluelink® services open the door to connected convenience. Standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ integration make everyday navigation and entertainment feel seamless for the whole family.

When you are ready to see the details up close, our team can demonstrate how terrain modes change behavior in real time, how Tow Mode refines shift schedules under load, and how the Dash Cam segments can be viewed on the display. It is a powerful set of tools built into a spacious, comfortable SUV—precisely the balance modern families want. Stevens Point Auto Center is here to help you decide if the XRT PRO is the right fit for your lifestyle, serving Wausau, Plover, and Wisconsin Rapids with friendly expertise and thorough test-drive guidance tailored to your roads.
