The 2023 Hyundai Palisade might be new to the three-row crossover SUV segment, but it's already one of our top picks. Packed with value, comfort and capability, the Palisade has everything shoppers are looking for. Only the lackluster handling and mediocre fuel economy could be considered demerits, but they are minor ones given this well-rounded SUV.

Overview
You never get a second chance to make a first impression is an old saying, but it certainly still holds true for most people and products. It would seem that Hyundai had this in mind when it introduced the three-row Palisade SUV for the 2020 model year. We were immediately impressed by its functionality in carrying both passengers and cargo as well as its upscale and luxurious trimmings. Along with its corporate sibling, the Kia Telluride, the Palisade immediately challenged the status quo for three-row midsize SUVs and hasn't looked back.

For 2023, the Palisade isn't looking to make a second impression; it's just growing in a way that might make you take a second glance. Hyundai's biggest SUV gets revised front-end styling that connects more closely with the look of the brand's other models. Specifically, there's a new, more imposing front grille that takes what we've seen on the Santa Fe and Tucson in a slightly more refined direction. The LED daytime running lights also blend into the grille more seamlessly, and the headlight clusters themselves are better integrated into the front bumper.
The rear and side profiles haven't changed at all, so the only way to tell if you're looking at the 2023 Palisade when it's in profile will be some new multi-spoke wheels. But there is a new Palisade XRT trim level. It closely matches what we've seen from the Santa Fe and Tucson XRTs. That means a darker grille, darkened lower door trims, darkened 20-inch wheels, a black roof rack and black faux leather seats inside. All Palisades also benefit from a new instrument panel design and other minor upgrades, such as a more powerful wireless charging pad and a digital key system that now works with both Android and Apple phones.
The Palisade's segment is chock full of competitors, including a compelling offering in the Telluride from sister company Kia. Hyundai hopes the new looks and some of the interior changes will pique your interest more than rivals such as the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander and Volkswagen Atlas. Check out our test team's Expert Rating to get the full rundown on its pros and cons.
Edmunds Expert Rating
edmunds TESTED
by the Edmunds Experts
Great
8.3
out of 10
We drove the 2023 Hyundai Palisade on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.
Performance
7.5/10
How does the Palisade drive? What the Palisade lacks in all-out performance it more than makes up for with a competent and well-rounded skill set. Accelerating from a standstill to 60 mph takes 7.6 seconds, which is an average time for a three-row SUV. High-speed passing can be done with confidence. In our emergency braking tests, the Palisade demonstrated strong and predictable braking. In more routine driving, the brake pedal is easy to control for smooth stops.
Handling and steering are less of a strong point, but the big Hyundai rarely feels sloppy or out of sorts as you drive around turns. Thanks in part to a smooth-shifting eight-speed automatic, the Palisade is a stress-free companion in both city and highway driving.

Comfort
8.5/10
How comfortable is the Palisade? Three-row SUVs aren't always hauling around six or seven people, so there's something to be said for having a little peace when it's just you. The Palisade delivers — there's minimal road and wind noise and the climate control system is quiet yet effective.
The front seats offer a nice mix of support for cornering and comfort for driving long distances. Just about everybody should like them. The optional second-row captain's chairs are just as good and they feel better than some front seats in other vehicles. Even the third row is decent and has a nicely contoured seat cushion.

Interior
8.5/10
How’s the interior? The Hyundai Palisade blurs the lines between near-luxury and luxury thanks to a well-appointed and comfortable interior for all its passengers. Though a few of the controls on the center stack are a bit of a reach, everything is laid out well and simple to understand. The driving position offers a commanding view out the front and sides, and the somewhat limited rear visibility can be offset with the optional surround-view camera system.
Rear passengers will also like the Palisade. The rear doors open wide, and you can easily slide the optional second-row captain's chairs up and out of the way by pushing a button. Once done, there's a clear path to the third-row seat.

Technology
8.5/10
How’s the tech? The Palisade comes equipped with plenty of advanced driver assist features, and most of them work great. Our test Palisade's adaptive cruise control system operated smoothly in traffic, and the steering assist system did a good job of centering the car within the lane. The blind-spot warning system can be oversensitive, and the available turn-signal camera display is gimmicky and distracting to use, but all other driver aids are pretty calm.
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity is standard, and numerous USB-C ports are spread across all three rows (although only one, and old USB-A, can be used for phone connectivity). The 12.3-inch center touchscreen looks sharp, and it comes with navigation that offers several useful features.
Limited and Calligraphy trims come with a head-up display and rear-seat intercom features; both are useful. Sound quality from the upgraded 10-speaker sound system is decent but not outstanding.

Storage
8.5/10
How’s the storage? Trunk space is generous, with 18 cubic feet behind the third row and 87 cubes with both rows folded down. Beyond that, the hatch opening is wide and accommodating. There's also a useful underfloor compartment. The Palisade can tow up to 5,000 pounds when properly equipped, which is average for the class.
Small-item storage is almost too much of a good thing: a fairly giant center bin with a retractable cover, a second bin on the floor between the front passenger seats, and a traditional center console. Cupholders are retractable but allow for smaller bottles to rattle about. Even the bulkiest car seats fit easily, and the seat anchors are easy to find.

Cupholders are retractable but allow for smaller bottles to rattle about. Even the bulkiest car seats fit easily, and the seat anchors are easy to find.
Fuel Economy
7/10
How’s the fuel economy? The EPA estimates an all-wheel-drive Palisade gets 21 mpg in combined city/highway driving. We were able to match that with our test vehicle on our real-world 115-mile evaluation route. Some rival SUVs offer better fuel economy. But you can run the V6 on regular gas, unlike some rival SUVs that require premium unleaded to return their rated power and fuel economy numbers.
Value
8.5/10
Is the Palisade a good value? The Palisade, and its corporate sibling, the Kia Telluride, might be the best value in the class. Everything is top-notch, from the driving experience to the interior quality to the standard and optional features. Even the base model seems to give you a bit extra, and in the top trims you get a near-luxury experience. Overall, we are very impressed with the quality and feel of the Palisade. You also get Hyundai's excellent 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and five-year/unlimited mileage roadside assistance.
Wildcard
8/10
The Palisade really blurs the lines between a luxury and non-luxury vehicle. Value and quality are everywhere. This Hyundai has a breadth of talents and is sure to find itself near the top of this competitive class for a few years to come.
2023 Hyundai Palisade trim level differences
The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is a three-row midsize SUV sold in five trims: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited and Calligraphy. All are powered by a 3.8-liter V6 (291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque) that is paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is an option on all trims. Compare the 2023 Hyundai Palisade trim levels in-depth.
Which Palisade trim does Edmunds recommend?
The SEL is the sweet spot in the Palisade lineup. It doesn't cost much more than the SE and comes with an impressive number of quality-of-life upgrades such as heated front seats and keyless entry with push-button start. If you want to splurge a little, opt for the Premium package. It adds on a few more driver assist features, including a 360-degree view camera system to make tight maneuvers more manageable.

2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
The 2023 Pallisade Limited Is awesome. Roomy inside, including the 3rd row (relatively speaking...it's not a Suburban after all). Interior style and decor is very nice in the Limited and Calligraphy (the lower models I found cheap looking). The drive features are great, like the camera 360 views, dash controls, etc. A couple things described by published reviews as "cons" I disagree … with. For example, I read the acceleration is slow and the blind spot camera view (when changing lanes) are poor. I found them both excellent. The buttons instead of a gear shift is pretty cool too. Overall, extremely happy with my purchase. After 3 years, still loving it the same.
Palisade wins!

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
My wife and I have been shopping for a few months now. After driving different 3 row midsized SUV'S (Kia) included we decided on the Calligraphy AWD.
Why:
*Refinement at this price point.
* Drives better, better command of the roads and freeways.
* More roomy, my high school age kids gave it a thumbs up.
* Acceleration was better and smother.
A win for Hyundai!
Update:
Best value for my … money! The level of refinement, technology, comfort will be hard to beat!
If you haven't driven a Palisade, don't knock it until you try it!
Dangerous safety issue!

2023 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Pallisade Calligraphy in August 2022. In October 2022, I pulled onto a highway where the posted speed limit is 70 mph. I had plenty of time. Oncoming traffic was at least 1/4 mile away.
When I pressed on the gas, the speedometer would not go over 20 mph. The RPM quickly shot up to 4000 RPM. The car was not responding, and there were no warning lights on the … instrument panel. The transmission was in Drive in the Smart mode. Oncoming traffic was bearing down on me quickly. The only thing I could do was coast onto shoulder and turn on my hazard lights.
For the remainder of Fall until warm temps in the following Spring of 2023, this dangerous issue occurred 100% of the time without fail. I had to drive out of my way to avoid sloped intersections.
The pattern is very clear:
First drive of the day and when car has not been driven for 2 or more hours.
Cold temps below freezing (car is garaged and the garage is heated)
Car is warmed up.
Car comes to a complete stop for at least 10 seconds before proceeding. A rolling stop, if possible, would not be a problem.
Stop is on a slope of at least 10°.
When pulling ahead, there is power, the speedometer won't go over 20 mph, RPM shoots over 3000, the car is coasting, no response when pressing the gas repeatedly. The problem lasts about 20-30 seconds. Then the car responds.
Service techs are unable to get it to fail. That's because they don't have stops with the adequate slope. They came out to my house twice where I was able recreate the problem as expected but their diagnostic equipment couldn't pick that up.
Bottom line, if the Hyundai diagnostic equipment doesn’t show any problem, then the car is just fine. Even though the techs witnessed the issue, Hyundai will not cover anything because their equipment doesn’t show a problem.
If anyone else is experiencing this or has experienced this, please tell me if you were able to get it resolved or not.
2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited Steering Problem

2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
We purchased a 2023 Hyundai Palisade Limited Edition in July 2022. As of this writing (11/04/2022) we have only put 1000 miles on it due to its drift to the right whenever it's driven. The dealer is currently on their third attempt at fixing the issue, however, when last turned, they indicated that they had to contact corporate for further guidance. We have now been without the car … for 4 days and have not heard anything from the dealer.
