Used 2023 Hyundai Palisade for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2023 Hyundai Palisade cost?

Prices have softened 12.09% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 4,596 listings available, which suggests solid inventory for shoppers comparing trims and prices.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Hyundai Palisade earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.8/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, Cost effectiveness, Technology, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its great value, comfortable ride, excellent features, and spacious third row. The expert review also points to a comfortable ride and strong value proposition, while noting that the refreshed design and added tech help it feel current in a crowded segment.

The main trade-offs are that AWD is not standard and some drivers want more engine power, along with features like folding side view mirrors and wireless Apple CarPlay. For you, that means the Palisade makes the most sense if comfort, space, and equipment matter more than chasing the most powerful or most premium-feeling drivetrain setup.

The market shows 39.6% of listings as good or great deals, which is a healthy sign if you’re shopping selectively.

Is the 2023 Hyundai Palisade reliable?

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

Owners describe it as a great-value SUV that feels comfortable and dependable, with excellent features and a spacious cabin that makes it easy to count on for family duty. The review summary also emphasizes its comfortable ride and strong ownership appeal over time.

The expert review reinforces that impression by highlighting the Palisade’s class-leading warranty coverage and complimentary scheduled maintenance. For used buyers, that combination lowers ownership risk, especially if you choose a well-maintained example with a clean history.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the vehicle history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on cabin wear, seat condition, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you’re considering. It also helps to confirm the drivetrain and equipment mix, since some desirable items are trim-dependent.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes SE, SEL, XRT, Limited, and Calligraphy. SE is the most basic version, with cloth seats and fewer luxury touches, while higher trims add features like leather-trimmed or leatherette seating, heated and ventilated first- and second-row seats, heated third-row seats, and more premium interior and exterior details. If you want the best value, SEL with the Premium package is the sweet spot because it adds many of the features found on the upper trims.
• 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 for an added cost.
• 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: A 12.3-inch color touchscreen is standard, along with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, HD Radio, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth. WiFi hotspot capability is standard on every trim, and wireless charging is standard on all but the base trim.
• Fuel efficiency: Front-wheel-drive models return 19 mpg city, 27 highway, and 22 combined. AWD 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, and it gives you the core Palisade experience with the V6, standard safety tech, and a 12.3-inch touchscreen. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting point and can live without the extra comfort and convenience features found higher up.
• SEL: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds more comfort and convenience while keeping the price below the luxury-focused upper trims. If you want a strong balance of equipment and cost, this is the one to focus on, especially with the Premium package.
• XRT: This trim adds a more rugged look with dark exterior details, roof cross rails, and black 20-inch wheels. It also gets standard Highway Driving Assist I and a single sunroof, so it suits you if style matters and you want a more distinctive appearance.
• Limited: This is the step up for shoppers who want a more upscale feel, with leather-trimmed seating, ventilated front and second-row seats, a heated third row, a digital instrument cluster, and a head-up display. It’s a good fit if you want luxury features without going all the way to the top trim.
• Calligraphy: This is the most premium version, with Nappa leather, distinctive exterior and interior details, standard Highway Driving Assist II, and the most upscale presentation in the lineup. Choose it if you want the most luxurious Palisade experience.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, but Highway Driving Assist II is reserved for SEL with the available package and standard on Limited and Calligraphy.

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

This is a moderate buyer’s market, so you have room to compare listings and wait for the right one.

• Deal availability: 39.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 4,596 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.09% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 84.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $30,479, 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 $30,479 sits slightly below last year's $34,669.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. If you plan to sell later, the current softness means your future resale will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability.

Well-equipped trims and clean-history examples should hold up better than bare-bones or heavily worn versions. Strong ownership satisfaction also helps keep demand steady when it’s time to resell.

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 Smart Sense 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 also standard, and rear seat occupant alert is standard on all but the SE trim.

A key caveat is that Highway Driving Assist I is limited to SE, SEL, and XRT, while Highway Driving Assist II is available on SEL and standard on Limited and Calligraphy. That means some of the more advanced driver-assistance capability is trim-dependent.

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:

• 39.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 84.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.09% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2023 adds a facelift, more tech, more safety features, and the new XRT trim.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $25,356, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $30,479 average.
• It offers a roomy, comfortable cabin with a spacious third row.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $33,196, the 2024 costs more than the current year's $30,479 average.
• It adds standard three-zone climate control and Bluelink+.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest mix of features and value, the 2023 is the best all-around pick. If your budget is tighter, the 2022 can save you money, while the 2024 makes sense if you want the newer feature set and are willing to pay more.
