The 2026 Hyundai Palisade has earned top marks from just about every automotive publication, including The Drive. Heck, my colleague and friend Andrew Collins even said its interior styling is “pretty much perfect.” And I think the exterior deserves praise, too. While doomscrolling on Instagram earlier today, I came across a Leasehackr deal alert that I thought was good enough to blog about.
According to the post, folks can lease a new Palisade in its two entry-level trims (SE and SEL) for as little as $249 per month in Florida and California. Per the breakdown, customers can negotiate the price themselves to get at least 8% off MSRP (or better), or use the pre-negotiated Leasehackr deals to get those rates. The $249 deal would take $4,135 up front to cover estimated taxes and fees, while the $262 deal would require $1,916. These rates are reportedly with $0 toward the down payment.

Going up to the SEL and SEL Hybrid in California would reportedly cost $277 per month with $3,079 up front, and $369 per month with $3,376 up front in Illinois.
The disclaimer states the deal runs through November 2, is available only through Hyundai Motor Finance, and is for buyers with Tier 1 credit. The numbers are based on an 81% residual value on a 24-month lease with 7,500 miles per year. Upping it to 10,000 miles per year would reportedly add about $19 per month.
This isn’t a sponsored post, and we don’t receive anything for writing about it; it’s simply a noteworthy deal for those of you looking for a new family hauler. Just keep in mind that it has to be a 2026 model-year Palisade—not a 2027.
Happy shopping.
