2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Fuel Economy: 34 MPG Combined

Webb Hyundai Highland | (219) 923-2277 | 9236 Indianapolis Blvd, Highland, IN 46322

What are the EPA ratings?

The hybrid returns 13 mpg more combined than the V6 in front-wheel-drive form. Even the all-wheel-drive hybrid beats a front-wheel-drive V6 by 9 mpg combined.

Why is the city figure higher than the highway figure?

That is normal for a hybrid and it is the opposite of a gas vehicle. At lower speeds the system uses more electric power and less gasoline, and regenerative braking recovers energy every time you slow down. Stop-and-go traffic is where a hybrid is most efficient.

For drivers doing short trips between Highland and Hammond, that means the 33-mpg city number is the more relevant one.

How do you maximize fuel economy?

1. Let the car start on electric. At low speeds the hybrid system leans on the electric motor, which is where the 33-mpg city rating comes from.
2. Brake early and gently. Regenerative braking recovers energy back into the battery. Hard late braking wastes it.
3. Keep tires at spec. Underinflated tires cost real mpg, and Lake County temperature swings move pressures.
4. Use climate control moderately. Cabin heating and cooling draw on the system and reduce electric-only running.
5. Choose FWD if you can live without AWD. Front-wheel drive returns 34 mpg combined against 30 for HTRAC.
