2023 Hyundai Palisade Awarded Wards Best Interior and User Experience

With nearly a century of experience assessing vehicles and providing industry insight, Wards Auto is among the most trusted sources for data on new vehicles and auto technology. Their 10 Best Interiors and UX awards recognize vehicles for more than just how they look; it’s also about how they function for the user. In order to make the list, vehicles must score high in areas of design, driver-assist features, user-friendliness, and ease of use without causing distractions. Hyundai Palisade’s seamless connectivity, intuitive technology, and high-quality interior design are what earned it its designation.

Comfort, Convenience, and Style

It’s the second year in a row for Wards to recognize the Palisade. What did Wards editors love about this three-row crossover utility vehicle? According to judge Drew Winter, the Palisade stood out for its “opulent materials, beige-on-beige color scheme, user-center ergonomics and overall creative design”, noting that it impressed over vehicles that cost significantly more. Judges were also impressed by features like the heated and ventilated seating with massaging driver’s seat, among many other features.

Each row of seating comes with comfort and convenience features to please both driver and passengers. Connect up to two devices and enjoy the entertainment with a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen, a high-scorer with Wards judges. The infotainment system is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing all smartphone users a chance to pick the playlist. Other stand-out features include a built-in WiFi hotspot, enhanced wireless device charging, dynamic voice recognition, and quick-charging USB-C ports. Comfort awaits in every seat with adjustable armrests, heated and ventilated seating, and an ergo-motion driver seat for additional relaxation during long-haul trips.

User experience is a new addition to the Wards judging criteria, and driver assistance tech is a huge factor in deciding that experience. The new Hyundai Palisade comes with a suite of driver assistance features including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assistance, Highway Driving Assist, Remote Smart Parking Assist, and more. Passenger Talk is one exciting feature that allows users in the first row to speak directly to second and third-row passengers via the Palisade’s audio system – a feature that comes in handy in a larger SUV.
