The local dealerships had a minimum of $7K markup on them. I prefer the Telluride's exterior, but the Palisade Calligraphy's interior is one step above what the Telluride SX Prestige offers; truly near-luxury car levels of fit/finish/materials.

I went back and forth on the Palisade and Telluride. Palisade won in tech, and Telluride the exterior front end. However, in the Virginia area, Kia dealers are marking up the Telluride by $15k, while a couple dealers are marking up the Palisade by $5k... but I was able to find one within 30 mins that offered MSRP, so going with the Palisade at the Limited level, with the digital display, HUD, push button electronic seating, and better sound system. With the same engine, same base, I can't believe people are paying the $15k premium on a $40-50k car. I didn't even pay over MSRP for my C8 (in my profile pic). Great video.. thanks!

As the owner of an AWD 2021 Hyundai Palisade Limited , I am impressed. Great gas mileage for such a roomy vehicle . It can handle towing my 19’ boat . The interior is stellar, better than the Telluride, IMO . I also like the fact that all of the body panels are body colored, unlike the Telluride . I do wish the Palisade had the Telluride’s folding side mirrors. There is no perfect vehicle, but both the Palisade and Telluride are really good . Finally, the Hyundai/Kia engine recalls do not apply to the Palisade or Telluride’s 3.8L V6 . The engine and 8 spd auto are stellar in both cases. I’m not worried one iota.

Even though Sorento's selected trim has stock to choose from, the attractive package of Telluride remains the one to beat. Believe this. After all the test drives, she actually disliked Ascent the most. Along with poor quality ratings in CR, she decided to go Korean.

Well, I think you can get a bench seat in the Ford Explorer ST, but not the plusher softer-sprung top-trim level. I've got cash to pay for such a vehicle but all the non-luxury Asian manufacturers assume I have a family of 4, not 5. With 5 people, I wan5t everyone in the first 2 rows so we can use the rest of the space for cargo. And the idea of putting that 5th person in the 3rd row by themselves is not Ok, plus it uses up a bunch of cargo space.

Fast forward to today and now the dealer is telling him that it one won't come until 2/18/2022. In addition, they are now selling it for $3.5K mark-up over MSRP due to the continued demand. He also had to pay a non-fundable deposit. I would have walked from the deal as the deposit should be refundable. Of note, the mark-up for this dealer is the cheapest in the area as a dealer near where I live is selling them with a mark-up of $10K. Ugh!

Where is the Subaru Ascent? I just bought an Ascent and I test drove every SUV in your video except the Nissan. While the Hyundai and Kia are excellent and deserve to be in the top 5, I bought the Ascent instead. The Ascent drives smaller than either the Hyundai or Kia, similar to the CX9. The Ascent really handles well like a much smaller vehicle, but interior room is on par with any of the cars in your video. And, I could get my Ascent with a bench second row. I don't like captain's chairs, especially having dogs. The Subaru Symmetrical AWD is standard, full time, always on and is one of the best , if not the best, AWD system in the industry. And while I would rather have an 8 or 10 speed transmission over the Subaru's CVT, the 4 cylinder turbo pulls better around town than either the Hyundai or Kia even if it occasionally gets a bit buzzy with the CVT. I really thought I would be buying the Telluride, but the Ascent stands toe to toe with it. That surprised me. So I really am at a loss that the Ascent is nowhere to be found in your video.

[@dygardion9130]

I will never understand making second row captain chairs standard on higher models! Just because someone wants a fully loaded trim but also wants a max seat figuration but can’t get it! Make it optional the whole point of these suvs is for families so taking one less seat doesn’t seem smart

My concern with the Telluride is long-term reliability; their GDI engine may have issues over the long term with carbon build up compared to port fuel injection or a combination of both direct and port; waiting to see when the rumoured Toyota Grand Highlander may be released, this will solve the limited space issue with the current Highlander in the 3rd row.

Hey, thank you for the reviews. I'd love you to mention the number of Isofix points in the reviews. For instance, ppl who are looking for an Isofix point on the 3rd row, have to filter so popular options like highlander, cx-9, etc...

I am looking to buy a bigger SUV. I spoke with a mechanic and told me stay away from Kia and Hyandai due to engine oil issues at a 70k miles. They burn the oil and start leaking. Moreover, the oil they use is not as superior as the oil Toyota, Honda or Subaru use.

I have BMW X3 2022 and it's just amazing and of course, It's a BMW... My SUV have run flat and is quieter as you can get, and you've heard it on this video, GV70 it has a lot of noise because run flat. I've tried Lexus 350 SUV and it has a lot of noise that reminded me of my Forester 2020 which is not necessary bad, but this is luxury class. Genesis offered more technology as standard but my BMW X3 2022 is a fancy buffet: It has a lot of small things that works great in it, plus the prestige. Not as attractive inside as GV70 or Mercedes-Benz but over all better. I love BMW because of how fast, quiet, and how when driving on a curve streets, you don't feel like you are going to turn over (NOTE: DO NOT SPEED ON CURVE STREETS. I DON'T DO THAT). But when I do drive on the limit, it drives better than non luxury SUV. I like how GV70's future but I do believe they are not there yet. People that are not rich but have enough money to get into a luxury car or SUV, for the most part are going for what they know from experience, from parents or any older experienced drivers.

Andrea is always right in this video

Love our 2015 Highlander but unfortunately because of the supply chain issues, we'll be postponing our purchase of a replacement. Just not going to pay retail-plus. Sorry. QUESTION: If Palisade and Telluride are cousins, why does Telluride get a significantly higher JD Power score than Palisade. And, Andrea, please keep telling us about the "Maaaaazda." Love it!

We are in the US and just bought the CX-9 carbon edition priced at $45K and some change but we got a $1K discount off of sticker so we paid just over $44K Smoothest ride and getup and go I've experienced in a long time. Refuse to buy a KIA as they are marked up $10K OVER invoice. Refuse to buy a Hyundai as the are marked up $5K OVER invoice. The top of the line Hyundai Santa Fe felt cheap and it was priced at almost $48K. Neither of them drive as nice as the Mazda CX-9 IMO Mazda doesn't sell their vehicles over invoice, in fact they gave us a $1K discount off of the sticker price.

Thank you. I'm looking for my first SUV for my 40th birthday 🎂🎉

[@larryhudson3930]

Excellent. Hard to find a popular vehicle in the U.S. without additional dealer mark-up.

[@MickyBroussard]

How about a new 2023/24 version to include the CX-90 and Grand Highlander. And a premium brand 2023/24 3 row suvs

I'm posting from the future. Remember when motormouth only had 200k subscribers?

[@andreaspencer9813]

That's so nice, thank you!

Andrea, not everyone wants the Highlander's larger touchscreen. Excessive piano black and touch-capacitive controls = fail. I'd rather have a normal screen with user-friendly, reliable hard buttons and switches, which forces me to go to a lower trim package. An eight-inch screen used to be considered enormous, and it's still plenty large enough. You don't need a finicky, attention-diverting home theater screen in your car's dash. You just don't. Every time you prioritize these ginormous screens that lack real buttons and switches (cough...Tucson...cough) as your reason for choosing one model over another, or one trim package over another, I can't help but cringe. That crap simply doesn't matter. It's not a positive. It's an industry-wide negative.

[@arielspalter7425]

The Subaru Ascent didn't make it even to the honourable mention list? You spoke pretty highly of it in a few reviews you did... nevertheless, excellent video as always.

[@andreaspencer9813]

We wanted to add the Sorento and the Ascent as honourable mentions but we thought we can't mention everything. I think the competition in this category is fierce, there are so many good choices. Thanks for watching!

[@Gaz2588]

Some posters obviously can't read as the title of the video clearly states "Non-luxury" .. so no, BMW, Audi etc would not have been mentioned.

[@artistnyc123]

"Maaazda" Andrea is adorable.

[@andreaspencer9813]

Haha I know American's hate it but it's how I say it 😉
