FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For 2027, Hyundai Motor America introduces an upscale new Calligraphy Black Ink edition for its Hyundai Palisade Hybrid flagship SUV range. The new Black Ink trim builds upon the sophistication of the Calligraphy trim with black-finished elements for customers seeking a new, distinctive design aesthetic for the Palisade SUV.
The Hyundai Palisade Hybrid Calligraphy Black Ink edition will be available in Abyss Black Pearl, Ecotronic Gray Pearl, and Creamy White Pearl exterior colors, each set off by a curated suite of bespoke blacked-out exterior and interior design elements. The Calligraphy Black Ink trim will be available exclusively with Hyundai’s powerful yet efficient 2.5-liter turbocharged hybrid powertrain. Sales begin in July, with a starting MSRP of $59,280 for the front-wheel-drive model and $61,280 for all-wheel drive ($1,600 destination fees included).
“Palisade has become a flagship for customers who want family utility without giving up a premium experience. Black Ink sharpens that promise. It adds more edge, more presence, and more distinction to a vehicle that already delivers the comfort, craftsmanship, and everyday ease that buyers value most,” said Olabisi Boyle, senior vice president, product planning and mobility strategy, Hyundai Motor North America. “For our customers, luxury is not about excess. It is about driving something that feels worth the payment every month and every time you walk up to it. Black Ink is that idea at its sharpest.”
