With a new update for the 2023 model year, the Hyundai Palisade remains one of the best-midsized crossover SUVs on the market. The makeover has added new features to each of the model’s trim levels and added a new, eye-catching design that makes this the must-have crossover of 2023.

Trim Levels of the 2023 Hyundai Palisade

1. SE

Though the SE is the base model, it still comes loaded with the latest features. It has a 3.8 liter GDI V6 engine that produces 291 horsepower. It also has a proximity key system connected to a push-button starter.

It comes with a wifi hotspot so all eight passengers in the three rows of seats can use their devices on the go. The SE also comes with a 12.3” digital touchscreen display with a built-in navigation system for easy one-touch control of the car’s audio and climate control.

2. SEL

Autotrader and Car and Driver both claim the SEL is the best Palisade as it comes with more features than other vehicles in its class at an unbeatable price point. It has extras the others don’t like a wireless cell phone charger and power captains chairs in the second row.

The SEL also comes with heated front seats and a hands-free tailgate, along with the same V6 engine that the SE has, which can pull up 5000 lbs. The front-wheel drive SEL gets 22 combined miles to the gallon, while the all-wheel drive version gets 21.

3. XRT

Dark, stylish, and powerful, the XRT is the most attractive Palisade available. It comes with exclusive all-black 20” alloy wheels and a unique dark front grill. It also has matching dark black roof rails and a body kit that includes lower bumpers, door garnishes, and skid plates.

On the inside, it has a power sunroof and black H-Tex-trimmed leather seats. For safety in all weather conditions, the XRT has LED daytime running lights and bright bi-LED headlights, along with auto-dimming side mirrors with turn signal indicators.

4. Limited

Built for comfort and style, the Limited seats 7 in 3 rows of all heated seats with 2nd-row power captains chairs and power-folding row seating in the back. The front and second-row seats have ventilation for hot days, and the rear side windows have shades to keep out the sun.

The Limited has the latest technology features standard, including a Harman Kardon premium audio system with Clari-Fi™, rain-sensing wipers, and a 12.3” digital instrument cluster. It also has safety features such as a blind spot view monitor and a collision avoidance system.

5. Calligraphy

The Calligraphy is the top-of-the-line Palisade and comes packed with exclusive extras, including a custom front grille, unique 20” alloy wheels, and Nappa leather interior surfaces. It also comes with remote parking assist standard, all the great features of the other trim levels.
