Make an informed decision for purchasing your next family vehicle with this midsize SUV comparison, where we showcase the highlights of the 2024 Kia Telluride vs. the Hyundai Palisade.
Power and Performance
Wherever you plan to go, you will enjoy traveling there in the Kia Telluride, thanks to the 3.8-liter V6 engine. It’s capable of 291 horsepower and 261 lb-ft of torque, and paired with the 8-speed transmission, you can master sharp turns and bumpy terrain with ease. With a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds, this mid-size SUV can haul heavy items, such as a boat for a fun afternoon on the lake.
With a 3.8-liter, 6-cylinder engine, the Palisade exerts its force with 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Front-wheel drive is standard across all trim levels of the SUV. It also boasts the same towing capacity as the Telluride, along with Trailer Sway Control, a standard feature that offers more protection for the heavy equipment that you haul.
Exterior Design
Both SUVs are recognizable by their shark fin antennas, roof rails, and 20-inch alloy wheels. What makes the Telluride unique is its LED positioning lights, which signal to other drivers when you’ve stopped or parked your vehicle. Higher Kia Telluride trim levels also boast LED fog lights to illuminate the road when you’re traveling during foggy mornings. The front grille on the SUV is either gloss black or satin chrome, which will attract the attention of your neighbors as you pull into the driveway.
The Palisade stands out with the center high-mount stop light, which tells the driver behind you that you’ve activated your brakes. You might also notice the Hyundai model in a crowded parking lot by its two-tone lower bumpers. Although both vehicles are easy on the eyes, the Telluride may appeal to you if you want your ride to have a stylish flair, and the additional lighting is hard to ignore.
Interior Design
Each SUV has a luxurious interior with room for up to eight people, depending on the trim level. In the Telluride, the driver’s seat is adjustable in up to 10 ways, compared to the eight ways in the Palisade. Plus, you can check your reflection in the illuminated vanity mirror in the sun visor. While both vehicles have leather-wrapped steering wheels, the Telluride also contains a leather-wrapped gear shift knob, supplying another hint of luxury.
The Palisade raises eyebrows with its second-row captain’s chairs and heated third-row seats, available on higher configurations. Although the Hyundai model has slightly more cargo space behind the first row, the Kia Telluride is more flexible with the dual level cargo floor that makes it easier to pack and unpack items.
Safety Features
While style is important, so is the safety for you and your passengers. Both SUVs offer similar dynamic features that make your driving experience safer and more convenient. Search for a Kia Telluride for sale near you to learn how the SUV is ideal for families with young children. For example, you can secure a child’s car seat using the lower anchors and tethers, and the front seat belt anchors will adjust as children grow. The intelligent speed limit assist feature will also inform you of how fast to drive in certain areas.
Like the Kia model, the functions in the Palisade will keep you aware of your blind spots, assist you with steering and reversing out of parking spaces, and apply the brakes to avoid accidents.
Technology Features
The technology in both SUVs are also comparable with their 12.3-inch touchscreens, WiFi Hotspots, and wireless phone charging. If you frequently travel with family and friends, you might choose the Telluride for the driver talk features, which enables you to converse with passengers through a microphone and speakers to amplify your voice without taking your eyes off the road. You can also start your air conditioner or heater from outside the SUV using the Kia Access app.
If you enjoy listening to music during your commute, then the 12-speaker audio system, available on higher trim levels in the Palisade, is right up your alley. The Hyundai model also delivers extra juice to your electronic devices than the Telluride with 115-volt power outlets.
