The automaker also commented on the love and attention the premium SUV received from Malaysians. Sime Darby Motors Managing Director of Retail and Distribution for Malaysia, Jeffrey Gan said, “We have been receiving enquiries and bookings for the Palisade after its debut last year so we are positive of the take-up for this facelifted version. As demand for SUVs continues to grow, there seems to be a growing demand for large SUVs as well.”

2023 Hyundai Palisade exterior

Helping the SUV look more premium is a wider cascading front grille mated with a rugged parametric shield element dubbed as “Parametric Jewel''. The exterior enhancements also include new LED headlights housing a new signature and vertically connected LED composite lights. LED daytime running lights, LED indicators, and positioning lights also contribute to the refreshed front lighting system. Adding a rugged touch to the front end is the new front bumper boasting a daring design and metallic-finished skid plates.
