With the new model year of cars, trucks, and SUVs starting to roll out, now is a great time to start looking for a new or new-to-you vehicle for your commutes, carpools, and adventures around Green, Ohio. If you're doing your research on a good family SUV, you might be wondering about the difference between the 2021 Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride.
Both these SUVs are upscale 8-passenger SUVs that are perfect for large families, long travels, or whatever else you have in mind. Let's take a look at each vehicle's pluses and minuses to figure out which is the right one for you.
Performance and Get-Up-and-Go
Both the Palisade and the Telluride are driven by a 3.8L V6 engine pulling 291 max horsepower and 262 lb-ft. of torque, and both are available with front-wheel and all-wheel drive models. Both SUVs can also tow 5,000 pounds, which is plenty for towing a boat to the lake, a couple of mountain bikes to the trail, or a camper out to a site in the woods.
Plenty of Room for All of Your Passengers
Let’s talk about the Hyundai Palisade interior seats. If you have a lot of people to cart around on the regular, spring for the Palisade SE's 8-passenger seating with 2nd-row bench seat. If you prefer comfort in that middle row, the Palisade Limited has ample room for 7 with 2nd-row captain's chairs. The Telluride also offers three-row seating for up to 8.
The Palisade near Canton offers a roomy 86.4 cubic feet of cargo space and 155.3 cubic feet of room for the passengers. While the Telluride has a comparable amount of available space, the Palisade SEL's convenience package offers a hands-free smart liftgate with auto-open to help you load everything in and out of your Hyundai SUV. Plus, third-row occupants will appreciate their third-row USB outlets.
Standard Safety Features
Safety is always at the top of mind when shopping for a family SUV. That's why the Hyundai Palisade SE offers a suite of driver-assisting technologies to make it easier for you to drive safely, by helping you to see and avoid hazards as they appear. Features include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Lane Following Assist, and Driver Attention Warning.
The Kia Telluride comes with some of those features, like Rear Occupant Alert and Driver Attention Warning, but the Palisade has a few more standard features on the SE trim.
Warranty Benefits
Hyundai is far-and-away the winner here, with the following benefits on its impressive standard warranty:
- 5 years/60,000 miles New Vehicle Limited
- 10 years/100,000 miles Powertrain Limited
- 7 years/unlimited miles Anti-Perforation
- 5 years/unlimited miles 24/7 Roadside Assistance
In contrast, the Kia doesn't offer unlimited miles of roadside assistance for five years, but caps out at 60,000 miles. With the Anti-Perforation warranty, a Kia is only covered for 5 years or 100,000 miles. So if you're planning on really driving your SUV around (and let's face it, who doesn't love a road trip?), spring for the Hyundai.
