The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is a fantastic choice for buyers seeking a family SUV with three rows of seating. There are five trim levels to choose from: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy. If you want to arrange a viewing and a test drive, contact our sales associates at Tuscaloosa Hyundai in Tuscaloosa, AL.
Regardless of trim selection, all variants of the 2023 Hyundai Palisade come with a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated direct injection V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. An 8-speed automatic gearbox sends drive to the front wheels, but you can also select Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel-drive system as an option if you require extra traction.
The 2023 Palisade range is also exceptionally well equipped in terms of safety features, with standard features such as airbags, tire pressure monitoring system, forward collision warning, automated emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, highway driving assist, driver attention warning, and blind-spot collision warning.
The 2023 Palisade SE is the bottom trim but by no means lacks any critical features or niceties. It can seat up to eight adults with second and third-row bench seats. The driver receives a 6-way power-adjustable seat as well. There's a manual air conditioning system with second-row controls and third-row vents as well.
Even though it's the base trim, you still have a 12.3-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ support. The first and second rows receive USB charging ports, too. On the outside, you'll find auto-dimming rear-view mirrors with integrated LED turn indicators and 18-inch alloy wheels. There's also a proximity key that works with the push-button start function.
Step up to the 2023 Palisade SEL, and you can choose an optional seven-seat configuration that sees a pair of captain chairs replace the second-row bench. All seats are now trimmed with Hyundai's -Tex™ fabric. The driver seat gains an eight-way power adjustment feature, as does the front passenger seat. Also present on the inside are dual-zone climate control, second-row automatic climate control, wireless phone charging, and the Driver-Talk in-car intercom system to communicate with the third row. You also receive a power sunroof.
The Premium Package for the SEL trim brings a 12-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system and dual USB-C charging ports for the third row. You’ll also enjoy a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heating and ventilation for the front seats, a memory function for the driver seat, plus heating for the second-row seats. On the outside, you get 20-inch alloy wheels.
The 2023 Palisade XRT builds on the SEL trim and includes some exclusive goodies such as special 20-inch alloy wheels, two-tone bumpers, and dark finishes on the grille, skid plates, and door garnishes. Inside, the H-Tex™ seats can only be specified in black, and you get the 7-seat layout as standard.
Building on the SEL with the Premium Package, the 2023 Palisade Limited features a seven-passenger configuration with the third row gaining power fold and unfold capabilities, plus seat heaters. It offers a heads-up display, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and rain-sensing wipers. The seats are trimmed in leather. Outside, you'll find LED taillamps, 20-inch alloy wheels, chrome door handles, and silver skid plates.
The top-tier trim, the 2023 Palisade Calligraphy, is the most opulent. You get everything from the Limited trim, plus more features that can’t even be optioned on lesser trims. On the inside, you’ll find premium Nappa leather seats, a microfiber headliner, a digital rear-view mirror, a two-tone leather-wrapped steering wheel, and 64-color ambient LED lighting. Of course, you also get the 12-speaker Harman/Kardon sound system to enjoy. Outside, you'll find special 20-inch Calligraphy design wheels, puddle lights, a Calligraphy-exclusive design high-mount stop lamp, body-colored wheel arches, and premium rear accent lighting.
