2021 Kia Telluride vs Hyundai Palisade // Battle Of The Affordable Luxury SUVs

[@jamesengelsman9369]

Hey everyone, two quick corrections. First, and perhaps MOST importantly, Thomas meant Ed, not Eddy. Also, the 10-year warranty we reference is US only. In Canada, its a 5 year. Sad face. Have a great day!

[@2fast4uates84]

Any reason why there's a 5 year difference in warranty? What if you buy it state side and go back to Canada?

[@kevinnorris6558]

@@2fast4uates84 I think the emission standards are slightly different between the US and Canada, so you’d have to take care of that before you bring it to Canada.

You can get 8 years in Canada. I've got the 8 year warranty. I believe the idea is that we have harsher climates so they don't warranty the parts as long.

Just because they are a little better, I still wouldn't buy one. Look up the resale value on a 2016 4runner vs a Sorrento lol

[@edjackson4389]

@@Jedi_Luke Exactly! And all of these fancy options people think are so necessary will be points of failure. They have cheap trim to. I taped up the black belt moldings on a 21 Telluride to protect them while polishing out some scratches. I pulled the tape off and the black finish came off with the tape. That would never happen with a Toyota

[@sabgog]

@@Jedi_Luke Haha thats fair. Maybe I should have said considered *leasing* one. Toyota have good resale and reliability ratings but they are absolutely not who you go to for features and luxury, until their updates this year a lot of their engine options, and infotainment systems have been laughably outdated. Depends on what a person is after I suppose. My volkswagen GTI may not last as long but the interior is night and day nicer in terms of initial quality and feel in my opinion, I have two family members with tacomas and I can never get over how much of a tin can it feels like when you close the door on them.

[@wbwayne8887]

My wife originally wanted the Telluride, but after finding out dealers in the US were gouging prices, I decided to look at the Palisade. We ended up with an SEL with the convenience pkg, which included the much nicer 20" wheels and many more amenities. We almost have 20K miles on it now and are averaging 23mpg. I have gotten used to, and actually love the push button gear selector and the paddles make it a little more fun when the mood strikes. It also allows for a shelf on the floor under the center console which gives it better storage packaging over the Telluride. Hyundai dealers were way more willing to deal on the Palisade as well. The reason it became a no brainer. Oh yeah, Car and Driver actually got 6.8 secs to 60mph in the Palisade and 7.0 secs in the Telluride.

The push button shift selector is simple to use and very practical. It takes time to get adjusted to but I would never say it’s cumbersome at all! In fact, it’s the complete opposite.

[@conork8177]

I own a Palisade and the button selector didnt bother me until I needed to back out, and immediately go, in traffic. With a gear shifter you can flip the car from reverse, to drive, while it is drifting back...with the drive by wire, and understand it is a safety feature, you need to come to a stop before it will go into drive. Add in the cross traffic sensoring and you feel like a sitting duck. It is a one time life lesson. It quickly taught me to be more patient.

When I first saw the 2, I thought I would like the Telluride. Then I saw a Palisade in real life. My wife and I bought the Palisade. One of the best vehicles I have EVER owned.

[@lordmeme_]

Happened to us! My mom initially wanted a Toyota Highlander, as she had an older one. However, she discovered these two. She took a look at the Telluride first, but wasn’t fully sold on it, and had doubts on the Palisade. Then she and I finally took the time to test drive it and actually look on the inside of it. She loved it. Expecting delivery of her Palisade Calligraphy in the beginning of December. Absolutely stunning car.

[@schafer240]

Lol the lack of due diligence beyond just insane. 1. Wait till its always at the dealership getting fixed and inevitably has catastrophic failure, most likely just out of warranty. 2. Then you'll be faced with should I fix or sell it... but by then it'll be worth nothing when compared to a Japanese competitor. Even before the failure it's resale value is the equivalent of garbage. Your choice and your money, waste it how you please.

[@lordmeme_]

@@schafer240 we’ve owned a highlander for the past 8 years. a friend of ours has owned a Veracruz and abused it more than our highlander for more than 10 years. Nothing wrong with either car. I know it’s anecdotal, but the Hyundai has already proven itself indestructible. Our switch from the Highlander to the Palisade was one of the best switches we’ve made from a Toyota to a Hyundai. You can continue to be negative and insistent upon Japanese superiority, but Kia and Hyundai are competitors to be taken seriously. All of their cars in the past 2 or so years have stepped it up in reliability(their cars were already pretty solid beforehand, not as good as Toyota of course, but now is a different story), and the appeal to it is insane. Regardless of reliability, you’re getting a huge value proposition with both the Telluride and Palisade. You get features(and cargo space) on those two cars that competitors like the Pilot, the Highlander, and the CX-9 simply don’t have. You’re buying a level of comfort that others don’t match as well. The amount of car you get for $50,000 is absolutely crazy given competitors prices and offerings in their cars. edited a word for misspelling

[@lordmeme_]

@@schafer240 I also don’t know what you consider “due diligence,” but considering we had been looking at multiple cars for over a year beginning in January of 2020, I’d say we have done a fair amount of research, consideration, and planning

[@schafer240]

@@lordmeme_ you state reliability has been increased in the last two years... this would suggest a track record of two years of reliability... how is that proven? Look at resale value that's a direct comparison of the Precieved value of a used vehicle. There's a reason Korean are so low. And that money you saved up front you lost hands over fist in resale, not to mention repair bills, down time (cost of your time to deal with it, if you care about that) and on top of it image if your keeping up with the Jones and there lexus, etc. The bang for buck at the beginning is a distraction, to bias your common sense. Just like dodge, another poorly made product. It's a distraction, from poor material quality and lack of engineering to a corner cut product.

I'd definitely recommend this vehicle to someone, or even the new Kia K5 if you're looking for a similar car without the interior setup/appearance of the Sonata.

@@cb9137 Hyundai and Toyota should be top of your list for reliability. I've got a 2012 Sonata that we got off-lease with 30k miles. It now has 115k and the ONLY thing that has gone bad was the AC compressor around 70k. Otherwise just basic maintenance. Original suspension still rides smooth and has minimal creaks and rattles. Great car.

Palisade was the one that convinced us to go Korean. Wasn’t fully sold on the Telluride, we just liked the Palisades looks on both the inside and out better. We liked the interior especially more in the Palisade.

[@bvokey8842]

I like the telluride better inside and out. More rugged looking. I know many people prefer the interior on the palisade over the telluride but I wasn’t a huge fan and I don’t see it aging all that well in my opinion. I test drove both, and ordered the Kia.

[@PhinallyWC08]

Personally, I think the Telluride looks better inside and out, but it's really neat to have two different versions of essentially the same vehicle to pick from, depending on your style preference. Also, I don't know about in Canada, but the top trim Telluride in the US has the "Suede" headliner, as well

[@anthonymastmusic453]

It does, I work for Kia, they have an SX Nightfall which yes is the top trim, but not fully loaded, there’s a “Prestige” package that goes on top of nightfall and adds (Nappa Leather, suede headliner, etc.)

15:00 that is not the top trim Telluride, at least not in the US. That is an SX but without the SX Prestige Package, which has a higher quality interior including the alcantara headliner and higher quality leather seats.

[@nicoleholland1633]

I thought so too!! Ours is on order, a 2022 SX Nightfall with prestige package

[@miramontes92]

If I remember correctly the sx also comes with the digital cluster with the blind spot in it on the prestige

[@Rkhoury212]

The one they’re reviewing is the top trim, at the Canadian spec one. It has the heads up display that only the SX Prestige comes with. However, the SX Prestige here in the States comes with the alcantara headliner and nappa leather seating.

[@aka_khazi]

The Nightfall edition is actually A step down from the normal SX version. The normal SX has better rims and looks a little more premium. Also you get nappa leather on that and a microfiber alcantara like headliner the same as the one in the Palaside.

[@bengals098558]

The first comparison video that actually made sense. This might be too much to ask but when reviewing big cars - get some of your friends in them just so we can have an idea of how it rides/looks when fully loaded. This is a family mover.

12:19 “Eddy, the dumb one..” *shows picture of Ed* you had one job.. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@archipelago9376]

*One major correction about the Telluride interior:* while you have the top-trim SX, it is without the highest-tier package, i.e. "Prestige"--and with it, you get premium nappa leather seating AND the same Alcantara headliner as the Palisade in this video. And like you said, having the black vs. lighter grey makes a difference--and the Telluride offers light-grey leather, too

[@archipelago93]

14:52 No, it’s NOT the top trim because you don’t have the “Prestige” package, which does, in fact, add things like a suede headliner, Nappa leather seats, a HUD, and heated & ventilated 2nd row seats. You also have a black interior vs the light grey Nappa leather one that looks just like this Palisade’s interior. So other than the all-digital gauge cluster and the push-button shifter (blegh) on the Palisade, the actual top-trim interiors are extremely similar. The Palisade has done well but it’s clear from sales figures and overall sentiment that the Telluride has won the hearts of most consumers (including me lol).

Carwow and throttle house are my favorite car review channels. James and Thomas, I’d like to see you launching bigger “platform” than just reviewing the cars.

The Kia Telluride too has a digital instrument cluster on the top SX trim. Nice review guys. Slowly the stereotype on the Kia/Hyundai brand is dying out fast.

Just purchased 2023 Sx X-line and we love it! We don't miss the orange lights, it is super quiet now, and the extra 20 HP are definitely noticeable. Also, the new black piano grill and trim is attractive, the 20" inch wheels are beautiful, and the interior is gorgeous. A big plus is the snow mode, 4 wheel lock, and sage green diamond stitch naopa leather seats with the infotainment system for the kids and sway roof.

Love the Telluride. Just ordered an SX Prestige Nightfall to replace our '16 MDX. It won us over the new Acura MDX and other competitors with the space, style, and bang for the buck. 10 year warranty was nice too, especially considering our '16 MDX is having transmission issues already and it is very much out of warranty.

@@crhayes2 Yes, you have to order it through a dealer. Takes 3-4 months for a custom order to come in, it sounds like.

[@DWraysGarage]

Having bought a Palisade and navigating this decision personally a few months ago, I can relate and affirm the conclusions you two arrived at here. I'd be driving a Telluride now if the Kia dealers in town hadn't been so egregious in their $5-10k over sticker 'deals' playing on scarcity. This forced me to do a better market analysis and jump into a Pali, which they were still asking over sticker on but their lot made it clear there was no shortage. The Pali, as soon as I jumped in it, won the day. Agree the exterior styling is a tad more 'youthful' on the Telluride. Regardless, that both of these cars and features exist at this price point is a win for those needing 6 butts in belts with some regularity.
