Ever since it showed up on the scene for the 2020 model year, the Hyundai Palisade has been positioned at the highest point of the fair size SUV fragment alongside its corporate kin, the Kia Telluride. The two vehicles brought back home CarBuzz's very first Family Fun Award, demonstrating exactly what a hit these SUvs have been. The 2023 Palisade gets its first revive since going discounted (so does the Kia Telluride), and Hyundai realized it didn't have to do much when the vehicle was piling up awards.


For the new model year, the Palisade acquires some refreshed styling, a lively XRT trim, new wellbeing and comfort includes, a few little inside changes, and that is essentially it. It doesn't seem like a ton, yet when the item is this great, minor updates are all it needs. In the wake of going through the day with the 2023 Palisade in North Carolina, we might try and like it more than the Telluride.Exterior Design: Added Bling

The Palisade's styling is masterful, befitting of a genuine extravagance vehicle. This 2023 facelift takes the styling everybody experienced passionate feelings for and dials up the bling. The new parametric safeguard grille configuration is the most observable change, particularly on the top Calligraphy model (presented beneath), where it's done in glossy silver. On the off chance that you could do without how enormous and eye-getting the grille looks, it's additionally accessible in dark on the XRT, SEL Premium, and Limited. The Palisade gets new headlights, wheel plans, and guards. Generally, it's an inconspicuous however invited change.


There's another variety for 2023 called Robust Emerald (presented underneath), which is restricted to the Calligraphy. It looks dark in low light yet pops with variety when the sun hits it. The variety alone could cause us to consider moving forward to the top trim.Engine, Performance, and MPG: If It Ain't Broken...

There are no progressions in the engine, where the standard 3.8-liter V6 motor actually delivers 291 drive and 262 lb-ft of force. Power goes out through a smooth eight-speed programmed to the front wheels or discretionary HTRAC all-wheel-drive. We were trusting Hyundai could wow us with a half breed or turbocharged N-tuned model, however this engine ought to be reasonable for most clients' requirements. Hyundai added a new towing mode for 2023, however the 5,000-pound tow rating is unaltered, similar to the efficiency: 19/24/21 mpg city/thruway/joined with AWD.Driving Impressions: Luxury Experience

We were dazzled with the Palisade previously, and we remain so post-revive. This is a heavenly SUV that causes other mid-sizers in this class to feel enormous and bulky by correlation. The motor offers a lot of passing power, and the transmission changes machine gear-pieces without object. Hyundai's undercarriage and suspension tuning are honestly awesome, restricting the presence of street defects while keeping the vehicle stable even on surprising mountain streets. In the event that you have a companion or kids who will generally get nauseous effectively, the Palisade is the ideal option.Interior Design: Genesis Quality

Take the guiding wheel identification off, and the Palisade could without much of a stretch blockhead tenants into believing it's a Genesis item. Particularly in the Calligraphy, the materials are all first class, and they feel as pleasant as they look. Nappa cowhide decorates the seats, which are warmed in each of the three columns and ventilated in the initial two. Indeed, even a $100,000 BMW X7 can't flaunt that. Talking about solace, the driver's seat currently includes an Ergo Motion knead highlight, which feels lifted from the Genesis choices list.


The innovation is all natural and utilitarian, making this one of the most incredible family vehicles for tech sweethearts. Discretionary elements incorporate a Harman Kardon sound framework, head-up show, blind-view camera framework, and full-show computerized rearview reflect. All Palisades get a 12-inch touchscreen as standard, yet remote Apple CarPlay and Android Auto stay missing (so bring a cord).Trunk and Cargo Space: Family-Sized

Both the second and third columns feel great for grown-ups, and the skipper's seats currently include wing-out headrests as you get on a plane. Jumping into the third line is a snap, because of strategically located buttons that slide the subsequent column forward consequently. Once in the third column, you can utilize power change (discretionary) to lean back and get a smidgen more space.


There's a fair measure of room behind the third line with a little stockpiling region concealed under the floor. The third-line seats on upper trims are controlled electronically with buttons in the storage compartment and can raise or lower somewhat rapidly. You can likewise drop the second-line seats from the storage compartment, however you'll need to stroll up there to lift them back up.Pricing, Trims, and Verdict: A Luxury Bargain

Evaluating for the 2023 Palisade is moderately in-accordance with other fair size hybrids, yet notwithstanding the number of highlights Hyundai that packed in here, it's a long way from the most costly choice in its group.The base SE trim beginnings at $34,950 and incorporates a lot of standard wellbeing highlights for economical purchasers. Moving forward to the SEL carries the cost to $37,950, moving in more extravagance highlights like warmed H-Tex seats. A $4,950 Premium Package adds 20-inch wheels, a computerized instrument group, encompass view screen, Harman Kardon sound, ventilated seats, warmed guiding wheel, Highway Driving Assist II, auto-evening out back suspension, encompass view screen, and that's just the beginning. For a sportier look, the XRT costs $40,250 and incorporates comparable elements as the SEL.Things begin to arrive at extravagance domain with the Limited for $46,500 and the Calligraphy for $48,900. On the off chance that you can live without Nappa calfskin, the Ergo seat, and Smart Park Assist, we'd say save a couple of excellent on the Limited. We lean toward the wheels (which seem as though ninja tossing stars) and the dark grille. All trims accompany FWD standard or AWD for $1,900.


In the event that the Hyundai Palisade wasn't on your radar previously, it ought to be presently. This is the most balanced average size SUV available, basically until the facelifted Kia Telluride goes along and offers comparable advantages. Indeed, even estimated straightforwardly against comparatively size extravagance SUVs, it actually feels serious. The Hyundai Palisade stays a sheer joy.
