hyundai palisade 2023 review

The 2023 Hyundai Palisade got a facelift, more safety kit and a slicker cabin, turning the family bus into something you’re oddly proud to park out front.

Ride comfort is plush, road noise is well hushed, and all three rows are adult-friendly in a pinch—kids will think they’ve moved into business class.

The petrol V6 (FWD) is smooth but thirsty, while the 2.2 diesel (AWD) is quieter than you’d expect, torquey, and kinder to the fuel budget.

Tech is generous for the money—big screens, plenty of charging, and driver aids that mostly help rather than nag.

Practicality’s the headline: proper space, handy storage, and a calm highway gait that makes long trips feel short.

Gripes? It’s a big unit in tight car parks and the V6 drinks like a footy team after finals, but value versus seven-seat rivals is properly compelling.
