How much does the 2023 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 11.35% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,649 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Palisade earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.83/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its comfortable ride, great value, excellent features, and spacious third row. The main trade-offs are that some drivers want more engine power and would prefer features like folding side view mirrors and wireless Apple CarPlay.

For family-focused buyers, the Palisade’s roomy cabin and polished presentation make it especially appealing, and its flagship-SUV positioning helps it feel more upscale than many mainstream rivals. With 39.2% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s also a decent chance of finding a competitive price.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction. Reviews also point to a reliable, dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with buyers especially valuing the Palisade’s comfort and overall quality.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Palisade’s strong warranty coverage and complimentary scheduled maintenance, which help reduce early ownership costs. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is making sure the vehicle has been maintained properly, since a well-equipped three-row SUV can be expensive to sort out if prior care was neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Hyundai Palisade?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because even a strong accident-free share does not guarantee the individual listing you’re considering is clean. Prioritize a thorough inspection of the cabin, electronics, and seating features, since this model’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and equipment. Focus on condition details that matter in a family SUV, including seat wear, infotainment operation, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re shopping.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: SE starts with cloth seats and a six-way power driver seat, while SEL and XRT add heated, eight-way power-adjustable front seats and leatherette upholstery; Limited and Calligraphy bring leather-trimmed or premium Nappa leather interiors, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, and heated third-row seats. The base trim also misses rear seat occupant alert, which is standard on all but SE.
• Powertrain: Every 2023 Palisade uses a 3.8-liter V6 with 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available on any trim.
• Safety package: Hyundai Smart Sense is standard and includes forward collision avoidance, driver attention warning, high beam assist, lane-keeping and lane-following assist, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with stop and go and curve control, intelligent speed limit assist, and safe exit warning. Highway Driving Assist I is standard on SE, SEL, and XRT, while Highway Driving Assist II is available on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.
• Infotainment: A 12.3-inch touchscreen is standard, along with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, HD Radio, SiriusXM, Bluetooth, and WiFi hotspot capability. Wireless charging is standard on all but the base trim, and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster is standard on Limited and Calligraphy or available on SEL.
• Fuel efficiency: Front-wheel-drive models return 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined, while all-wheel-drive models return 19 city, 25 highway, and 21 combined.

Which 2023 Hyundai Palisade trim should I buy?

The 2023 Hyundai Palisade is offered in 5 trim levels: SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy.

Here's the short version:

• SE: This is the value entry point if you want the Palisade’s core strengths at the lowest price, including the standard V6, the 12.3-inch touchscreen, WiFi hotspot capability, and Hyundai Smart Sense safety tech. It’s the trim to choose if you want the most affordable path into the lineup, but it gives up some comfort and convenience features found higher up.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds heated, eight-way power front seats, leatherette upholstery, and access to the available Premium package. That package is especially compelling if you want many of the higher-trim comfort features without jumping all the way to the top of the range.
• XRT: This trim is for you if you want a more rugged look, with dark exterior accents, skid plates, black 20-inch wheels, and roof cross rails. It also keeps the standard safety and tech foundation, though it does not get the in-car intercom.
• Limited: This is the sweet spot if you want a more upscale feel, with leather-trimmed seats, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, heated third-row seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a standard head-up display. It also gets Highway Driving Assist II as standard.
• Calligraphy: Choose this if you want the most luxurious Palisade, with premium Nappa leather, distinctive exterior detailing, standard digital instrumentation, and the most complete feature set in the lineup. It’s the right pick if you want the most premium version and are willing to pay for it.

Safety-wise, Highway Driving Assist I is standard on SE, SEL, and XRT, while Highway Driving Assist II is available on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Hyundai Palisade?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage but still need to move quickly on the right listing.

• Deal availability: 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,649 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.35% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,918, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade's resale value?

The current average of $30,918 sits slightly below last year's $34,876.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, that also means resale value may depend more on condition, mileage, and trim desirability than on broad market momentum alone. Well-equipped versions with strong demand should hold up better than stripped or heavily worn examples.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade safe?

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade earned a Top Safety Pick+ from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), and the 2023 model adds new active and passive safety features, including second-row side-impact airbags.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Hyundai Smart Sense is standard, with forward collision avoidance, driver attention warning, high beam assist, lane-keeping and lane-following assist, blind-spot collision avoidance, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with stop and go and curve control, intelligent speed limit assist, and safe exit warning. Highway Driving Assist I is standard on SE, SEL, and XRT, while Highway Driving Assist II is available on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.

One caveat is that the 2023 model had not been rated as of the source material, so you should weigh the strong feature set alongside the lack of a fresh crash-test result for this year.

Should I buy a 2023 Hyundai Palisade or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 39.2% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 11.35% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It adds a facelift, more standard tech and safety features, and the new XRT trim.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $25,607, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $30,918 average.
• It offers a spacious, attractive three-row layout with a quiet cabin.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $33,618, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $30,918 average.
• It adds standard three-zone climate control and Bluelink+ connected services.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of updated features, strong owner satisfaction, and a softer market price, the 2023 is the primary year to target. If your budget matters most, the 2022 is the better value play, while the 2024 makes sense if you want the newer feature set and are willing to pay more.
