Does 2023 Hyundai Palisade have remote start?

  • The 2023 Hyundai Palisade has been refreshed and unveiled at the New York auto show.
  • Along with crisp styling, the interior has been reconfigured and now comes standard with a 12.0-inch infotainment screen.
  • The powertrain is unchanged, with Palisade continuing to use a 3.8-liter V-6, good for 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque.

The Hyundai Palisade has been a hit for the South Korean brand since it went on sale for the 2020 model year, racking up more than 80,000 sales in 2020 and repeating that feat in 2021. Now Hyundai is giving the mid-size SUV its first refresh, with the 2023 Palisade getting even bolder styling, a reconfigured interior, and the latest technological gizmos.

The Palisade's grille is now more rectangular and features a similar armor-like graphic treatment to the Tucson and Santa Cruz. The thick, boomerang-shaped, vertical LED lighting signature has been pushed to the outer edge of the fascia, visually widening the SUV, and overall the Palisade's lines are more squared off than before. The rear bumper is redesigned, and the Palisade shown here rides on new 20-inch, 15-spoke wheels. These photos represent the top-of-the-line Calligraphy model, with photos of lower trims to come closer to the on-sale date.

The interior has also been reworked, with a new steering wheel design and thin horizontal air vents stretching across the dashboard. A 12.0-inch infotainment screen now comes standard, and USB-C ports have been sprinkled throughout the interior. The Palisade also offers a driver's seat that includes a massage function, while the third row gains heated seats and the second row acquires wing-out headrests and seat ventilation.

The Palisade sports plenty of modern technology. For instance, a digital rearview mirror is now an option, while the wireless charging capability is faster than before. The latest version of Hyundai Digital Key—which allows owners to use an iPhone, Apple Watch, or Samsung Galaxy to lock, unlock, and start their car in lieu of a key—is also available, or drivers can remotely start the car via the key fob or Blue Link app. The Palisade also becomes the first Hyundai to offer Wi-Fi hotspot capability.

The 3.8-liter V-6 engine is unchanged in the 2023 Palisade, still producing 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission also remains, and the Palisade can still be had with either front- or all-wheel drive. Palisades equipped with all-wheel drive gain a Tow mode that reprograms the gearbox to hold lower gears for longer and lessens the frequency of gear changes. The Palisade should also be safer than before, with rear side-impact airbags now standard. A host of driver-assistance systems are on offer, including forward collision avoidance assist, navigation-based smart cruise control, highway driving assist, and remote smart parking assist.

Hyundai also says that the Palisade will add an XRT trim in the same vein as the Santa Fe and Tucson XRT models revealed last year. The Palisade XRT will effectively be an off-road appearance package, with dark 20-inch wheels, skid plates, roof rails, and dark trim. More information and images of the XRT are expected in the coming months. The 2023 Palisade will go on sale in early summer, with pricing announced closer to the on-sale date. We expect the price to increase slightly, with the current 2022 Palisade starting at $34,845 and the Calligraphy model going for $48,535.

2023 Palisade features a revised eight-speed automatic transmission that provides smoother operation and more refined gearshifts, with more intuitive shifting via the following enhancements:

For 2023, Palisade’s Multi-Terrain Control system has been revised with improved Traction Control System (TCS) operation when selecting each of the off-road Terrain modes.

A revised Terrain Mode logic has been applied to aid off-road escape performance by improving the excess driving force braking control. This improvement has been implemented by optimising the estimated driving force and wheel friction coefficient when wheel spin occurs during off-road driving.

New 2023 Palisade builds on an already comprehensive suite of advanced active safety and driver assistance technologies with an array of new and upgraded SmartSense™ features, to deliver a 5-star ANCAP rating.

There are seven airbags in 2023 Palisade, with the addition of a front centre side airbag. Mounted in the left side of the driver’s seat backrest, it can prevent or reduce the severity of injuries caused by collisions between the front occupants, or collisions between occupants and interior components, in the event of a side impact collision.

2023 Palisade comes standard with a full suite of Hyundai SmartSense™ safety technologies, including:

The new Multi anti-Collision Brake (MCB) function controls the vehicle braking automatically in the event of a collision that causes an airbag or seatbelt pre-tensioner to deploy, to reduce the risk of a subsequent collision.

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) has been revised in the following areas for 2023 Palisade:

The lane-change partial braking collision-avoidance function when detecting a vehicle in Palisade’s blind-spot at speeds of 60km/h or above has been removed

BCA will still provide collision-avoidance assist when exiting a parallel parking space at 3km/h or below. If a potential collision with an approaching vehicle travelling at more than 5km/h is detected, the collision-avoidance system will apply braking force to help avoid a collision while exiting the parking space.

Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) - Revised

Blind-Spot View Monitor (BVM) in 2023 Palisade Highlander has been revised in conjunction with the new 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The blind-spot view when applying the turn signal now projects the live image in the respective left or right side of the instrument cluster, rather than on the previous 7.0-inch central display.

Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) - Revised with Junction Turning function

The new Junction Turning (FCA-JT) function detects oncoming traffic travelling at between 30 and 70km/h when turning right at an intersection at between 10 and 30km/h (with the right indicator activated). If a collision appears likely, 2023 Palisade’s brakes are applied to reduce the chance of a collision.

Lane Following Assist - Revised

A revised Lane Following Assist (LFA) function in 2023 Palisade is no longer linked to Smart Cruise Control. LFA now operates independently via the new dedicated Lane Safety button on 2023 Palisade’s all-new steering wheel.

In addition, when Lane Following Assist is active, a revised infographic in the new digital instrument cluster depicts a solid green line in the centre of the lane, indicating that LFA is operational. On Highlander variants with the Head-Up Display (HUD) feature, LFA is also indicated as active when the revised steering wheel icon in the HUD turns green.

Lane Keeping Assist - Line/Road-Edge (LKA-L/R) - Revised

While the operation of the Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) function has not changed, the way the driver interacts with the vehicle to turn this feature off or on has been revised.

2023 Palisade’s new steering wheel sees the introduction of the ‘Lane Safety’ button which replaces the previous dedicated LKA button on the dashboard. A long press of this button turns the LKA function either off or on, with the icon now orange when the system is off.

High Beam Assist (HBA) - Revised

A revised High Beam Assist function in 2023 Palisade now illuminates the instrument cluster indicator light white to indicate the system is active, changing to green at speeds of 40km/h and above to indicate the system is operational.

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA) - New & Revised

Intelligent Speed Limit Assist uses live road traffic sign information from the windscreen-mounted camera and from the navigation system to inform the driver of the speed limit and warning signs that apply to the current road.

When driving at a speed of 1km/h or more above the displayed speed limit, the red speed limit indicator will blink and a warning will sound.

The warning will also sound every time a new speed limit is detected.

The system can also assist the driver to maintain the vehicle speed within the speed limit when operating Manual Speed Limit Assist (MSLA) or Smart Cruise Control (SCC), by informing the driver to change the set speed.

If the speed limit of the road changes during the operation of Manual Speed Limit Assist or Smart Cruise Control, an up or down arrow is displayed to inform the driver that the set speed needs to be increased or decreased using the + or - steering wheel button.

In addition, 2023 Palisade’s ISLA receives the new function of ‘Set Speed Auto Change’. When the vehicle’s cruising speed is set the same as the recognised speed limit at speeds of 70km/h and above while using MSLA or SCC, the vehicle automatically adjusts its speed if the speed limit changes. When this function is active, the cruising speed indicated in the MSLA or SCC setting in the instrument cluster appears in green.

ISLA can be set to either ‘Speed Limit Assist’, ‘Speed Limit Warning’ or ‘off’ (icon turns orange). The system defaults to ‘on’ –- either to ‘Assist’ or ‘Warning’ function, depending on the last setting before the ignition was turned off.

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist - Rear (PCA-R) - New

Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist - Rear (PCA-R) helps prevent low speed collisions with pedestrians or obstacles when reversing at speeds of up to 10km/h (pedestrian detection) or up to 4km/h (obstacle detection).

PCA-R utilises a high-definition wide rear-view camera, as well as the rear ultrasonic sensors to detect pedestrians or obstacles. If a potential collision is detected, the system warns the driver with visual and audible alerts, and assists with braking to help prevent the collision. PCA-R is available in Highlander variants.

Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) - Revised

2023 Palisade features a revised Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA) function. No longer linked to Smart Cruise Control (SCC), the LVDA function now operates independently, all of the time.

LVDA monitors the vehicle ahead when 2023 Palisade is stopped in traffic. If the vehicle ahead drives away, and Palisade remains stationary, the system will sound a gentle chime to alert the potentially inattentive driver.

Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) - Revised

2023 Palisade features a revised Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) function. In addition to providing in-car alerts the ROA function, in conjunction with BluelinkTM, will now also send an alert to the Bluelink® app on the driver’s smartphone if it detects motion in the vehicle via the roof-mounted ultrasonic sensors.

Parking Distance Warning - Forward/Reverse (PDW-F/R) - Revised

Adding further convenience to 2023 Palisade is a revised Parking Distance Warning (PDW) system, bringing option for the front parking sensors to auto activate, selectable through the settings menu in the multimedia unit. Previously, only the rear parking sensors would auto activate, with the front sensors only auto activating if reverse gear was selected first.

In addition, Highlander variants gain two extra front and rear parking sensors, which are also utilised for the new Remote Smart Parking Assist (RSPA) function.

Smart Cruise Control (SCC) - Revised

2023 Palisade’s revised steering wheel brings with it a revised button layout for the Smart Cruise Control (SCC) operation.

To remove the need to switch the SCC ‘On’ with the dedicated Mode button and then press ‘Set’ with a second button, 2023 Palisade features ‘one-touch’ operation that combines both ‘On’ and ‘Set’, bringing its SCC operation in line with other Hyundai models.

2023 Palisade also gains an Overtaking Acceleration Assist function, which assists in acceleration if the system judges that the driver intends to overtake the vehicle ahead.

This function operates when SCC is in operation, at 60km/h and above, with the right turn signal indicator on and a vehicle detected in front.

Surround View Monitor (SVM) - Revised

Adding to the comprehensive viewing modes of the Surround View Monitor (SVM) system in 2023 Palisade, is a new 3D view function available in Highlander variants.

The 3D Surround View capability provides maximum convenience by allowing the driver to see a full 3D 360-degree view of the vehicle and any obstacles surrounding it.

In addition to the 3D view function, the SVM is now also equipped to be able to transmit the 360-degree view via Bluelink® to the driver’s Bluelink® smartphone app.

Safe Exit Assist (SEA) - New applicability

2023 Palisade features the Safe Exit Assist (SEA) function across all variants - formerly a Highlander-only feature.

The SEA system lowers the chance of occupants exiting Palisade when the situation makes it unsafe to do so. The system works in conjunction with radar sensors on either side of the rear bumper to detect vehicles approaching from the rear. When the vehicle is stopped, the system scans the rear path of the vehicle and if an occupant starts to open a door while an approaching vehicle is detected the system will issue an audible alert and display a warning in the instrument cluster to check the surroundings.

In addition to SEA, the electronic child safety lock system now also fitted to Elite variants provides an additional layer of safety by allowing the driver to automatically lock the rear doors/windows via a switch, to prevent children seated in the rear of 2023 Palisade from inadvertently opening them.

Additionally, the electronic child safety locking system works with the SEA system to prevent accidental unlocking/opening of the rear doors when a vehicle is approaching from the rear. The driver will not be able to unlock the electronic child safety lock while a vehicle is passing 2023 Palisade.

Reverse Light Guide - New 2023 Palisade Highlander features Hyundai Australia’s first application of the Reverse Light Guide function. When reversing, white LED segmented lights are projected onto the ground from the new LED reverse lights, to highlight the path of the reversing vehicle to warn pedestrians and other road users. The reverse light guides are especially effective for alerting pedestrians that could be potentially distracted by electronic devices such as mobile phones.

Does 2023 Palisade have remote start?

The 2023 Palisade also features improvements to Hyundai's Bluelink connectivity. The Gen 2.5 system in the new Palisade synchronizes settings for two drivers tied to Bluelink and digital key. It offers remote engine start capability that also pulls in climate control and seat settings.

What is the difference between 2023 Palisade limited and Calligraphy?

The Limited defines luxury with features like a dual-pane sunroof, ventilated front seats, and a 360-degree surround-view camera. The Calligraphy brings all of the luxury features of the Limited while adding 20-inch alloy wheels, unique front-end and rear-end treatments, quilted-leather door panels, and more.

Does 2023 Palisade have power folding mirrors?

The side mirrors of the new Palisade offer auto-dimming at higher trims and are heated with integrated turn signals starting at the base SE trim. Unfortunately, these mirrors do not offer a power-folding function.

Does 2022 Palisade have digital key?

Faced with increasingly tough competition (including from corporate cousin Kia Telluride), Palisade touts significant upgrades, most of them driver-assist, safety and convenience features. Key among them are Digital Key 2 Touch (compatible with iPhone and Android), navigation-based Smart Cruise Control, a new 12.3-in.
