New 2023 Hyundai Palisade - Safety Features and Spec
22The New 2023 Hyundai Palisade XRT Exerts Control Over This Much of Your Money. Hyundai's flagship SUV gets updated styling and more safety tech, now with pricing details. The 2023 Hyundai Palisade got a fresh new look at this year's New York International Auto Show, showing off a refreshed design, a new steering wheel, and a wider center console screen inside. There's also a new, semi-rugged XRT model similar to the dark-themed trims found on the Hyundai Tucson and Hyundai Santa Fe. As the company's flagship model, the hefty SUV can be equipped up to a hefty sum, but you get a lot for your money. Billed as "rugged," the Palisade XRT is proven to be more of a light-off-road-oriented trim level by its availability with front-wheel drive (all-wheel drive is optional). The XRT FWD features darker 20-inch wheels, a darker grille, black roof side rails, cross rails, body colored door handles, new lower bumpers with skid plate accents, new lower door garnish, and inside you get black leatherette seating and a power sunroof. The XRT AWD builds on those features with the brand's HTRAC all-wheel drive system, downhill brake control mode, AWD lock, and special Snow and Tow drive modes. The Tow mode will hold on to gears a little longer and reduces the frequency of gear shifts.
