How much does a Hyundai Palisade cost in Houston?
Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston sells the new Hyundai Palisade from $39,435 for the SE trim, and the price rises by trim to $54,560 for the Calligraphy. Texas sales tax, title and registration fees are added on top of that price, and a trade-in offer comes off it.
The published price is only the start. Texas adds its own tax and fees on top, and a trade-in lowers the amount the tax applies to. Here is how the pieces fit together for a Palisade shopper at our store.

A new Palisade starts at the SE trim’s MSRP at Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston
We sell the new Palisade, and the trims our inventory lists run from the SE to the Calligraphy. Each trim above it adds to that figure, so the starting price is the floor rather than the whole bill.
What does each Hyundai Palisade trim cost?
Each Palisade trim carries its own starting MSRP, and the price climbs from the SE through the SEL, the SEL Premium and the Limited to the Calligraphy. The 2026 model year starting prices are $39,435 for the SE, $41,940 for the SEL, $45,300 for the SEL Premium, $49,770 for the Limited and $54,560 for the Calligraphy. Hybrid versions of several trims cost more, starting from $44,160 for the Hybrid SEL.
The XRT PRO lists at $49,870, which puts it in the same range as the Limited. Pick the trim by what you need from it. The SE and SEL carry the same engine and the same 287 horsepower gasoline output, so the step up from SE to SEL buys equipment, not power.
What Texas taxes and fees get added to a Palisade’s price in Houston?
Texas motor vehicle sales tax is 6.25 percent, and it applies to the sales price minus any trade-in allowance (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026). The Comptroller’s guide works an example: a $42,000 vehicle with a $15,000 trade-in is taxed on the $27,000 that remains. The dealer collects the tax from the buyer when the vehicle’s gross weight is 11,000 pounds or less.
The title and registration fees are the state’s, and they are the same at any Houston dealer. The base passenger-vehicle registration fee is $50.75, and Harris County adds a local fee of $11.50 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Texas Registration Fees fee chart, 2026). The title application fee in the Harris County group is $33 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, Motor Vehicle Title Manual, 2026).
| Cost line | Amount | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Motor vehicle sales tax | 6.25% of sales price less trade-in | Texas Comptroller, 2026 |
| Registration fee, passenger vehicle | $50.75 | TxDMV, 2026 |
| Harris County local registration fee | $11.50 | TxDMV, 2026 |
| Title application fee, Harris County group | $33 | TxDMV, 2026 |
Every figure below is hypothetical. Say a buyer picks a Palisade SEL at $42,240 and gets $12,000 for a trade-in. Tax applies to $30,240, which comes to $1,890 at 6.25 percent. Add the $50.75 registration fee, the $11.50 Harris County fee and the $33 title fee, and the total on top of the price is $1,985.25 before any dealer documentation charges.
How does a trade-in at Group 1 Hyundai Southwest Houston lower your Palisade cost?
A trade-in lowers the price you pay, and it also lowers the sales tax, because the tax is figured on the sales price less the trade-in allowance. We appraise trades online. To value a trade, type your plate number and state into the online tool and click “Get My Price” for an offer. You can bring in a trade or sell a vehicle without booking a time.
We also buy cars outright, so a sale does not depend on buying a Palisade from us. A payment calculator lets you enter a trade-in offer amount and see the monthly figure before you visit.

The lease-or-buy choice turns on how you pay, and we handle both. Our online credit application covers a loan or a lease, has two steps, and the page says it takes minutes to complete. You can complete loan pre-approval online ahead of a visit.
Run the numbers with the payment calculator, and enter your trade-in offer to compare the two paths on the same vehicle.
What do Hyundai’s certified and Select Used programs cover on a used Palisade?
Hyundai’s certified program, Hyundai Certified Used Vehicles, accepts vehicles that are 6 model years old or newer with no more than 80,000 miles (Hyundai Motor America, 2026). Each one gets a 173-point mechanical, safety and appearance inspection and includes 10-Year/Unlimited Miles Roadside Assistance starting at the original in-service date. The program also carries a 5 years/60,000 miles comprehensive limited warranty and a 10 years/100,000 miles powertrain limited warranty.
The Hyundai Select Used program covers vehicles 7 to 10 model years old with 120,000 miles or less, or 6 model years old and newer with 80,000 to 120,000 miles, with a 117-point inspection and a 90-day or 5,000-mile powertrain warranty. Hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles may be inspected against a different number of points.
What do you get for a Palisade’s price: warranty, seating and fuel economy?
A new Palisade carries a 5 years/60,000 miles basic warranty, a 10 years/100,000 miles powertrain warranty and a 7 years/unlimited miles corrosion warranty, and roadside assistance runs 5 years/unlimited miles. The Palisade SE seats 8, and the SEL, SEL Premium and Limited seat 7, with 8 seats optional on several of them.
Fuel economy depends on the powertrain. The EPA certification for the 2026 gasoline AWD is 18 city, 24 highway and 20 combined miles per gallon, and the FWD is 19, 25 and 21. The hybrid AWD is rated 29 city, 30 highway and 29 combined, and the hybrid FWD Blue reaches 33 city, 35 highway and 34 combined. The EPA combined figure is a weighted average of city at 55% and highway at 45%.
