Used 2023 Hyundai Palisade for Sale nearRochester, NY

How much does the 2023 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 10.55% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,460 listings available, which suggests you should have a reasonable number of options 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, spaciousness, and especially the third row, which is said to fit taller passengers better than many rivals. They also highlight its strong value and feature content. On the trade-off side, some drivers want more engine power, and a few miss conveniences like folding side mirrors and wireless Apple CarPlay. For you, that means the Palisade makes the most sense if you want a roomy, well-equipped three-row SUV rather than the most athletic one in the class.

Good and great deals account for 37.6% of listings, so there are still some attractive opportunities in the market.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

User feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with owners repeatedly emphasizing comfort, value, and confidence in the vehicle over time. The expert evaluation also describes it as a strong family hauler with a comfortable ride and class-competitive capability, which supports the idea that it should be easy to live with day to day. Hyundai’s complimentary scheduled maintenance and long warranty coverage add another layer of reassurance for used buyers.

For you, the main long-term ownership risk is less about durability and more about choosing the right trim and condition, since higher-spec versions can be expensive and feature content varies meaningfully.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 87% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize a careful inspection of the cabin, electronics, and seating configuration, since this SUV’s appeal depends heavily on comfort and feature content. It also makes sense to confirm whether the vehicle has the equipment you want, because some desirable items are trim-dependent.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The SE starts with cloth seats, a six-way power driver seat, and second-row bench seating, while higher trims add more upscale materials and comfort features. SEL and XRT use leatherette, Limited uses leather, and Limited and Calligraphy add heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats plus heated third-row seats. Calligraphy also brings premium rear accent lighting, a unique grille, and other upscale exterior details, while XRT adds a darker, more rugged look.
• 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. Front-wheel drive is standard, and all-wheel drive is available on every trim. Fuel economy is 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined with FWD, or 19 city, 25 highway, and 21 combined with AWD.
• Safety package: 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, and intelligent speed limit assist. 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: Every trim gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth. WiFi hotspot capability is standard on every trim, and Bluelink connected services are standard as well. A wireless charger is standard on all but the base trim, and Digital Key 2 Touch is standard on SEL and up.
• 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 entry point, but it still gives you a strong value story with standard safety tech, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, WiFi hotspot capability, and a comfortable three-row layout. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the more upscale comfort and convenience features.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds leatherette seating, more available comfort and tech upgrades, and access to the Premium package. If you want to maximize seating flexibility and luxury without jumping all the way to the top trims, this is the one to focus on.
• XRT: This trim adds a darker, more rugged appearance with black 20-inch wheels, roof cross rails, skid plates, and unique exterior accents. It suits you if style matters and you want a more distinctive look, but it is not the trim to choose for maximum luxury.
• Limited: This is where the Palisade starts feeling especially upscale, with leather seating, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, heated third-row seats, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. It is a strong pick if you want a near-luxury experience without going all the way to Calligraphy.
• Calligraphy: This is the most premium version, with Nappa leather, distinctive exterior details, and the most complete comfort and tech presentation. Choose it if you want the most luxurious Palisade and are willing to pay for it.

Highway Driving Assist II is available on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy, so those trims bring the most advanced driver-assistance setup.

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 carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,460 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.55% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 87.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $31,571, 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 $31,571 sits slightly below last year's $35,296.

That price movement suggests the Palisade has already absorbed some depreciation, which can help future sellers if they buy at the right price today. If you purchase near the lower end of the current range and keep the vehicle in strong condition, you may be better positioned when it comes time to sell. Higher-trim versions can still hold appeal because the Palisade’s feature content and comfort remain major selling points.

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 has not been rated as of this writing.

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

Hyundai’s Smart Sense suite is standard, and it 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, and intelligent speed limit assist. Safe exit warning is standard on all trims, and rear seat occupant alert is standard on all but the SE. 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.

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:

• 37.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 87% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.55% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds a facelift, more standard tech and safety features, and the new XRT trim.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $26,285, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $31,571 average.
• It offers a spacious, attractive cabin with a quiet third row.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $34,413, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $31,571 average.
• It adds standard three-zone climate control and Bluelink+ connected services.

The bottom line: The 2023 is the best all-around choice if you want the refreshed design, stronger tech, and broad trim range at a softened price. If your priority is saving money, the 2022 is the value play; if you want newer features and can spend more, the 2024 is the upgrade path.
