Hyundai Motor PH Inc quietly reveals specs, pricing of refreshed Palisade

Back in late 2022, we came across a dealership ad that showed the prices of the 2023 refreshed Hyundai Palisade. At the time, it was not yet officially revealed by Hyundai Motor Philippines Inc (HMPH) but based on the ad we saw, the automaker will supposedly sell it for around PHP 3.8 million.

Fast forward to the New Year, and HMPH has quietly rolled out the 2023 Palisade for the Philippine market. Sporting a redesigned look inside and out, the flagship three-row SUV gets a bolder exterior, a more high-tech and lavish interior, as well as a plethora of intelligent driver aids and amenities.

Size-wise, the 2023 Palisade measures 4980mm long, 1975mm wide, and 1750mm tall. It also has a generous wheelbase that measures 2900mm.

Over to its interior, a redesigned dashboard greets occupants along with a new steering wheel and a more ergonomic center console.

Complementing the turbo-diesel powerplant is Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel-drive system that provides grip over any terrain. Depending on road conditions, the system can be set to Snow, Mud, or Sand for optimized traction. The system also has a drive mode select system that can set the powertrain to Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart.

A wide array of safety features come as standard on the 2023 Palisade. From anti-lock brakes, 6 airbags, traction control, stability control, rear-occupant alert, front/rear parking sensors, blind-spot monitor, and a multi-collision brake system, the Palisade is packed to the brim.
