To coincide with the return of the National Hockey League (NHL), Hyundai has revealed a special edition of its Palisade SUV.
Based on the three-row 2026 Palisade Hybrid, the NHL Edition brings a host of bespoke design touches, plus some hockey-themed accessories.
Inspired by the success of the 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe NHL Edition, the new Palisade could be the perfect family transport to and from hockey practice.
It also affirms the Korean brand’s role as the Official Vehicle of the NHL, National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA), and National Hockey League Alumni Association (NHLAA) in Canada.

Using range-topping Ultimate Calligraphy Hybrid trim as its starting point, the Palisade is powered by 2.5L turbocharged hybrid engine with 329 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque.
The Palisade NHL Edition also comes solely in an exclusive “Creamy White” matte exterior finish.
A dual-pane panoramic sunroof is included, along with 21-inch alloy wheels. The latter can be finished with center caps showing the buyer’s favorite NHL team.
On the inside, the NHL Edition features Grey Charcoal Nappa leather upholstery, a Bose 14-speaker sound system, a head-up display, and integrated front and rear dash cams.
Other highlights include Luxwood door sills, branded carpet mats, and a TuxMat cargo tray and floor liners. As with the wheel center caps, all of these can be customized with an NHL team logo.
As an added bonus, buyers will also receive a special ‘Hyundai x NHL’ branded’ Yeti cooler – and will be entered into a prize draw to win a trip to a 2026 Stanley Cup Final game.
Hockey Night in Canada only
There is a catch to the NHL Edition, though. Just 500 examples will be made, with all cars destined for the Canadian market.
Available to order now, prices for the Hyundai Palisade NHL Edition start from CAD $68,899 before destination and delivery fees.
“Hockey is more than a sport in Canada, it’s part of our national identity. For us at Hyundai in Canada, we’re proud to say it’s part of our brand identity,” says Steve Flamand, president and CEO of Hyundai Auto Canada.
“With the 2026 Palisade NHL Edition, we’re proud to celebrate the passion of hockey fans across Canada by bringing fans a bold, premium SUV that reflects the spirit of the game. This special edition is a tribute to our ongoing partnership with the NHL and a testament to Hyundai’s commitment to delivering vehicles that resonate with Canadians from coast-to-coast.”
