For U.S. shoppers considering a new 2026 SUV, the lowest-priced six-cylinder models confirmed here are the Hyundai Palisade, with a listed starting MSRP of $39,435, and the Nissan Pathfinder, at $39,990. Both are three-row SUVs. These are the lowest-priced confirmed examples, not a verified ranking of every popular brand; the two prices also have different fee qualifications, so the $555 gap is not an out-the-door comparison.
What is the cheapest SUV with a V6 engine?
The 2026 Hyundai Palisade is the least expensive six-cylinder SUV confirmed in this comparison. Hyundai lists it from $39,435 and specifies a 287-hp 3.5-liter V6. The listed price excludes freight, tax, title and license, and dealer prices may vary. See Hyundai’s 2026 Palisade page for current details.
The 2026 Nissan Pathfinder is the next-lowest confirmed example, listed at $39,990 for the 2WD SV. It has a 3.5-liter V6. Nissan’s page also identifies a nine-speed transmission and available 4WD; those details should not be mistaken for standard equipment on the base-priced configuration. Check Nissan’s 2026 Pathfinder page for current trim and pricing information. The page’s destination-charge treatment is not established here, so compare fee-adjusted totals before deciding which costs less to buy.
| 2026 model | Seats / layout | Engine | Listed starting MSRP | Price qualification |

Which 2026 SUVs still have a six-cylinder engine?
The confirmed low-price choices are the Palisade and Pathfinder, both three-row models. If you want a five-seat SUV instead, the 2026 Honda Passport RTL is a useful point of comparison: Honda lists a 285-hp 3.5-liter V6 and a $44,950 starting MSRP. Honda excludes destination and other charges from that figure, and dealer prices may vary. See Honda’s 2026 Passport page and its 2026 Passport launch release.

Why this is not an all-brand ranking
A vehicle’s price or badge alone does not establish that it has a six-cylinder engine. Toyota’s 2026 4Runner page lists a $42,270 starting MSRP and identifies i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX powertrains, but does not confirm a six-cylinder engine; it therefore cannot be counted as one based on that source. See Toyota’s 2026 4Runner page.
Ford and Jeep have lineup pages, but the information confirmed for this comparison does not establish the engine and base price of every potentially relevant SUV in those lineups. Their pages are Ford’s Vehicle Showroom and Jeep’s lineup. Without checking each candidate’s current engine, base trim, price and availability, a comprehensive list of “all popular brands” would overstate what is known.

How to compare the real purchase cost
- Confirm the engine and exact model year on the manufacturer’s current page; do not infer cylinder count from a vehicle’s price or name.
- Compare the same kind of figure. Starting MSRP is not a dealer transaction price or a used-car price.
- Check the priced trim and drivetrain. The Pathfinder’s quoted $39,990 is for the 2WD SV, not a claim that every trim or 4WD version costs that amount.
- Account for destination or freight and other charges before comparing totals. The published Palisade and Passport figures expressly exclude specified fees, while destination treatment for the Pathfinder price needs confirmation.
- Recheck manufacturer pricing, incentives and local availability before shopping; they can change.
Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply.
