Written by CarPro | Jun 21, 2022 8:01:11 PM

The Hyundai Palisade is joining Hyundai's XRT family. The updated 2023 model, available this summer,  adds the more rugged, dark-themed XRT trim already available on the Santa Fe and Tucson models.  (You can check out our 2022 Santa Fe XRT review here.) The entire 2023 Palisade lineup also receives some enhancements that include design tweaks along with new convenience and safety features. The lineup continues to offer all-wheel and front-wheel drive. If you want to compare it to a 2022 model check out our review of the 2022 Palisade Calligraphy here.
