Hyundai Palisade vs Kia Telluride
How the Hyundai Palisade Challenges the Kia Telluride
The 2024 Hyundai Palisade and 2024 Kia Telluride are corporate cousins. However, the Palisade manages to pull ahead in some surprising ways. Find out more here.
It’s All in the Attitude
When two SUVs are so similar in size, horsepower, and pricing, it comes down to attitude. Which one speaks to your idea of refinement?
In this case, the all new Hyundai Palisade wins hands down. From its gorgeous exterior to its uniquely designed interior, there’s nothing ho-hum or everyday about the 2024 Hyundai Palisade.
In fact, it looks much more like a luxury SUV than its corporate cousin , the Kia Telluride. The Kia seems to lean into a rugged attitude. Upper trims offer sporty trim elements rather than the refinement found in every Palisade.
While the Palisade XRT is every bit as tough as any Telluride, the XRT trim doesn’t define the entire lineup. The Palisade Limited and Palisade Calligraphy are highly desirable trims with designer good looks, high quality materials, and incredible fit-and-finish.
Layouts for 7 or 8
To get the 2-3-3 layout with 8 seats on the Palisade, the shopper chooses the entry level SE or the option on the SEL Premium. These cabins measure over 155 cubic feet for passengers and some 173 cubic feet overall.
To get the same layout on the Telluride, the choice is the LX or EX. Kia Tellurides have 7 seats on the S, SX and SX Prestige trims while Palisades have this layout on all of its trims above the SE.
Setting the Palisade apart, the second row seats can have wing-out headrests and special armrest-angle adjusters. Plus they can be power-ventilated. That’s right! Only the Hyundai offers two rows of ventilated seats. That’s an exciting extra for busy Phoenix families faced with our desert heat index.
Furthermore, if you are looking for the best upholstery, you’ll find it on the Palisade. The Hyundai cabins offer more luxurious, upscale upholstery options that are sure to please. You can learn about Palisade prices by looking at our current inventory.
Hyundai vs Kia Prices
There’s a lot of press about the fact that the Telluride price tends to undercut the prices of other SUVs. However, if you look at the Palisade price all the way up the trim level, the Telluride is priced only $400 to $500 less. That’s not much given the total price of these 3 row SUVs..
With so much consistency, Hyundai makes it possible for you to choose any trim without making a big financial sacrifice compared to the Telluride. Given the designer looks of the Hyundai, it earns this small increase in MSRP.
Plus if you shop Earnhardt Hyundai of Avondale for your new 3 row SUV, you can enjoy No Bull prices on your Palisade. We’ve also got financing deals from competitive lenders.
Final Considerations
The 2024 Hyundai Palisade has earned several key awards that demonstrate its worthiness as a vehicle and as a 3 row ride for families. First, it earned Top Safety Pick Plus, even though the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has toughened its requirements.
Likewise, the Palisade earned a Car and Driver’s Editors Choice Award. The critics note the attractive price and the upscale interiors. Lastly, it has been named a 2024 Consumer Guide Best Buy. This last award demonstrates its excellence even when compared to the Kia Telluride.
We’d also like to add that the Palisade took home a Best Family Car award for three years in a row and Hyundai was named Best SUV for four consecutive years. With so much critical acclaim, shoppers can feel good when they choose the Hyundai Palisade for their family.
In many cases, your current ride makes a good down payment. Check how much your trade-in is worth with this tool.
Conclusion
