The lane keep assist is almost to good to be true! If you can test drive a SX model and see for yourself! And as far as the foot liftgate deal there's an option you can set that if the key fob is within a couple of feet of the tailgate it will automatically open hands free...

[@bsmith8209]

Where do I start? The Kia Acess which allows you to start your Telluride from your phone gives you an advantage over key fob remote starts because by the time the key fob users are in range to start their vehicle you're Telluride is already warmed up and ready to go. And if you kids or someone borrows your SUV the system has a vehicle tracker to show you real time movement of your Telluride. Which is also good if you go to a parking lot and forget where you park. The HD Steaming Traffic also comes in handy as well. Another thing I found out accidentally was if you're running the heater in the Telluride while driving and roll all four windows down the heat automatically cuts off. The lane assist is pretty sweet but sometimes its a little aggressive especially when its raining and you're trying to avoid the big puddles in the road. Its has great speed. The Harmon Kardon (Samsung) sounds awesome! Once you adjust the equalizer to your liking (I like extra bass). And the rear moonroof makes everyone in the rear seats smile when they first see it. Its definitely a head turner. The LED headlights are excellent especially when the fog lights are on. I can see well at night on these dark Georgia roads. The surround cameras are cool as well I find myself using it a lot more than expected. I have the Ebony Black Telluride with the Butterscotch interior so I put a 5% tint on the rear and 20% tint on the front. Overall I'm very happy with my Telluride SX. Kia showed up and Showed out with the Telluride!

Times have changed

[@moneyparhar]

Kia beat BMW. U get more for money in Kia than BMW. More realiable than BMW better warranty than BMW

[@HiPlains1]

@@moneyparhar That's a miss perception. BMW X3 is their big seller and that is very reliable now. Yes a few years back there was a timing chain issue and a few other annoyances but they are bullet proof now. I Own a X3 and its a fantastic car with zero issues. I won't argue that the Telluride is a better value but not a better car. Mainly because the BMW still goes with the RWD as the primary driving wheels along with the Xdrive. The bi turbo B58 6 and bi turbo 2.0 matched to the superior ZF 8 speed are better performers as well as considerably more efficient. But X3/X5 won't offer the third row. For that you have to go with the X7 which is pricey. I'll admit the BMW cost more but money aside, its still the better SSUV. But one thing I notice is how similar the Kia is to the BMW. Obviously they harvested some German engineers. It not a accident that the interior and center stack/gauge cluster is very BMW like. The Telluride is the most German like SUV that is not German of any OEM that I can think of. And probably why its a hotcake right now. Its a German copy but don't stroke yourself in thinking its a better performer. Its not. Not even remotely so. But when comparing it to the anemic XT6 the Kia destroys it. GM is bottom of the barrel IMO.

[@mybro727]

HiPlains1 that’s funny because GM out performs BMW and is even outselling them in several segments. They’ve literally taken their slogan from underneath them and Cadillac has become the “ultimate driving machine”. So how can something that looks better, handles better and is more reliable be the bottom of the barrel? That doesn’t even make sense. The KIA doesn’t destroy anything, it’s a plastic econobox that wants to be a luxury vehicle but is actually only the cheap alternative. Cadillac is quality and refinement.

[@HiPlains1]

@@mybro727 XT6 is a POS. FWD based/transverse mounted V6 motor that is fitted all the way to front bumper. Sure you can add AWD but its no match for the RWD/Xdrive on the bimmer. And Cad has nothing that can stand up to the ZF 8 speed and inline 3.0 bi turbo inline B57 BMW motor. The 8 inch center stack is a joke. XT5 is now in fifth place in the segment. look it up.. grossly outdated now. And the XT4 is not even worth looking at. The XT6 is a joke at this price point. All makes have newer refreshed models and GM still using crappy center stacks and cheaper with crap analog gauges with FWD/transverse mounted crappy setups which is a insult for a so called premium SUV. Even Ford updated their center stack/gauges and returned the Explorer to RWD with AWD options. XT6 is a chevy with heavy lipstick. Again, look at XT5 sales. They are in a slump. Maybe next years refresh might help but nothing special here.

In their domestic market Hyundai and Kia compete with BMW and Mercedes, not just Honda and Toyota. HMG quality has grown leaps and bounds and the new/next generation of autos shows it. Both the Germans and the Japanese-let alone US Domestic-brands have not been keeping up with Technology. Kia and Hyundai are internally benchmarking against Tesla and BMW, not Nissan or Mazda.

The price and warranty protection make the KIA the obvious winner to me. I’m 71 years old and have never purchased a “foreign” auto but with the price savings I may just change my mind. Cadillac, as well as Ford, should be worried about the new vehicles from KIA and Hyundai. The Telluride and Palisade will steal customers away from the Expedition and Escalade market, they better figure out how to deal with that quickly or they’ll lose a lot of market share.

I will take the Kia Telluride and save 10-15K... Kia is well known brand now! Kia has surpassed the initial quality of any domestic cars already.. And Cadillac doesn't pop up my head when I think about the quality or reliability...

[@SamCarLegion]

Oh boy

[@Stressless2023]

I like the looks of both, but I think the Cadillac has the edge overall... looks more elegant like a Cadillac should. KIA as a brand has come a LONG way from my younger days when you would get laughed at for driving one, but I still wouldn't want to own a "KIA" anything personally.

[@levimohr3196]

SuchANiceGirl22 styling in the Cadillac is nice. But it has the horrible GM V6 found in the Traverse, Acadia, & Encore. You’ll put a lot of money into that engine.

[@Stressless2023]

@@levimohr3196 The basic design of the GM 3.6L is virtually the same as it's been for years, but improvements have been made internally since the early years to rectify the oil burning issues that plagued the older designs, which is what caused the timing chain failures you've probably heard about. They're a lot less needy now than they were.

[@firstlast7613]

Kia: to bad it's a Kia! No wonder people still are embarrassed driving them and want to change their badges. Plus they have engines known to blow up!

[@raynicolini]

Can you please make a 2023 top trim comparison of xt6 and palisade calligraphy

[@MrJunior82006]

Everyone hating on the Cadillac, but we have a ‘22 XT6 sport and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Ours is fully loaded and has all the luxury and quality that you’d ever need. We have 3 kids and it’s a ton of space and comfort for all of us. Nothing against the Telluride I actually really like them, but I wouldn’t trade our XT6 for it ever. Styling is all relative to the individual, but for us we liked the looks and interior of the Cadillac better.

[@mohammedawadud7238]

In stead of getting a Kia I would wait for the 2020 Escalade.

[@PowersFamily]

You missed that fact that the Kia rear trunk opens automatically after a few seconds if you have the key with you. Can be disengaged as well.

[@SamCarLegion]

Yes correct

[@paulhtr]

I would consider buying the KIA if there was a way to get rid of those big ugly letters across the front.

[@bsmith8209]

There is!

[@markdiloreto9042]

excellent and relevant review....great job comparing all aspects of these vehicles!!

[@eddiea.2169]

KIA killed it by far!!! Technology, comfort, look and pricing is by far much better than the Cadillac. Not to mention 60K plus for a vehicle that only has a very limited group of buyers.

[@rahimi4762]

Not paying 60 k on a cheaply made Kia. U just seeing the face. This cheaply made underneath

[@vizionct1]

Both nice cars and good to see Kia really improve their lineup but honestly I see lotta tellurides and optimas on the road now. Almost like dime a dozen. Xt6 310hp is refreshing to see and I like interior and trim better. Looks more refined to me. An damn is it a looker with front grill and vertical leds!

[@Jhgjdkxkx]

It’s 47k where I live

[@richardbetz5531]

Both are really cool. I just prefer the Cadillac with all honesty. Just think it’s the better looking car with better interior quality, performance, and fuel economy. I like the adjustable suspension system the XT6 offers as well. Just my personal opinion. Kia has undoubtedly come a long way though. Their lineup is really impressive right now. Love the microphone feature you can get in the Telluride lol. Hope both do well in the crossover market nonetheless.

[@SamCarLegion]

I like your take on this! Thanks for the comment.

[@richardbetz5531]

Sam CarLegion My pleasure 👍

[@polofunk]

But when it comes to quality, i guarantee the Cadillac will be in the shop quicker and more than the Kia, Kia and Hyundai has won JD POWER TOP QUALITY AWARD 4YEARS in a row, that's over the whole automotive industry.

[@mybro727]

polofunk Nope. Hyundai/KIA reliability has dropped again. Those engine issues must be catching up with them🤷🏽‍♂️ www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2019/02/top-10-most-dependable-automakers-of-2019-j-d-power.html

[@findknightthesecond4317]

I like the brand when it comes to a car caddi yes

[@codyhardy3553]

The xt6 isn’t a redesign. Its the first xt6.

[@cecekeepingitreal3531]

You for got in the xt6 there is also a release for the truck in the door also

[@defaultname3432]

When you figure in the warranty, resale value and Build quality. I would take the KIA

[@relaxitsme_alex9104]

I love Cadillac, but that Kia is very stylish. Cadillac is really lacking in style. Its bland to me.

[@ktpinnacle]

Would have been a more useful comparison if it was the High Country version of the Traverse versus the SX version of the Telluride.

[@SamCarLegion]

I will do this comparison just for you. And thank you for the idea.

[@robertholmes7912]

The Kia will outlast that GM (Generic Motors) JUNK!!!

[@coolkid7151]

No they won’t they’re very similar in reliability if you don’t know that then you’re not educated.

@@coolkid7151 I agree.the Kia doesn't even stand a chance in the real world. If the kia was the same price as the Cadillac it would be a joke. It would not sell at all. Kia is cheap and affordable. Driving a new Cadillac is a statement that you're accomplished. Cadillac is quality, refinement and luxury. Kia motors is where you go when you want to ball on a budget, not even the same customers at all

[@onshaicooper8315]

@Darkivaz - AAA what world do you live in? Cadillac ages very well. their Escalade and cts is very old yet they last forever and the design still looks amazing 'til this day. Kia doesn't have a brand identity except for a tiger nose grille that they tried to make stick but no one really recognizes. They will never age as well as Cadillac even after copying Cadillac taillights on the telluride Kia don't look as classy and upscale as Cadillac higher quality 2 different levels kid

Doesn't the XT6 have the very advance (best on the market) Cadillac automated driving system?

[@telvisl6880]

Of course!

[@redrock861]

The Kia got rid of the "foot wavy" thing because its stupid. I was waiting for my wife in a parking lot, and watched a lady wave her foot 5 times then the hatch opened. She had no idea how dumb she looked. With the Kia, if you just stand there for 3 seconds, the liftgate, or trunk will open. No balancing act while carrying groceries required. Those seats took way too long to fold down. I'd take the Kia any day over the Caddy.

[@rodg011]

KIA LOL long term will lose much more value and will likely have major failures . kia is the is the same as chrysler ,both very likely to fail in a long term ownership

[@jay-uo2bi]

@@rodg011 hahaha, boy are you wrong. Kia is far from FCA quality. Hyundai motor group has fantastic quality in reliability in 90% of the vehicles. Kia Telluride will definetly outlast the Cadillac.

[@jay-uo2bi]

@@rodg011 explain. They share the same chassis, engine, transmission and many other things as they are sister companies. I personally found that Kia's interiors (Kia do the inteiror themselfs) feel a little higher quality but otherwise they are the same in terms of quality, reliability etc. Anyways in Aus, Hyundai has 5yr warrenty and Kia has 7 but they gave me 10 years on my new Cerato GT hatch.

[@redrock861]

roger white I've owned the 1st gen Sedona, a 2002 model that made it to 175 000kms without any issues or even a single rattle. Little bit of rust on the bottom of the liftgate. I have owned many GM models, cuz thats what you did. You either owned gm, ford or dodge. I could never say that the gm's lasted so long without issues or rattles. Rattles and squeaks happened from day 1 with the caravan. I traded in my 2002 kia for a 2006 Montana cuz too many ppl told me kia was shit, and I let them bully me into a gm again. Huge frickin mistake, I am now back with Kia enjoying a much better built car with 0 issues.

[@jimborghini2761]

Telluride is amazing. Lookwise, I'd put it right next to the VW Touareg.

[@rickt2419]

I have alway thought that it was a dumb idea for many companies to mimic Chrysler (believe invented by Denso Corp.) on that "foot waving open tailgate" feature...! One had to step pretty close to the back of the tailgate and lift and wave one foot then had to quickly step back to give way to the tailgate to open...

[@SamCarLegion]

Some people like it. Useful? Not so much

[@redrock861]

I watched somebody wave their foot 5 times to make it happen. Moron. With Kia, you just walk up to the back of your Kia, and wait 3 seconds. Voila, door opens without ever touching anything.

[@rickt2419]

redrock861, in my opinion, finally KIA got this right and that should be the way to go...

[@ferreo1374]

The Telluride should be compared to a Explorer and not a Cadillac, don't no why all these car reviews are trying to make Kia and Hyundai some luxury vehicles. Sat in a Telluride the other day, it was on my list don't look as good in person inside or outside. Waiting for the Explorer ST. Seen one on back of the transport truck the last week looks much better in person, I haven't been on the inside yet.

[@SamCarLegion]

I will do that too :)

[@ddg2256]

I agree. I don't understand why people are comparing Kia/Hyundai to luxury, especially considering Toyota, Honda, and Ford are way better.

I have owned 2 cadillacs, Lexus and a kia. I take the kia any day. Better vehicle by far

[@PowersFamily]

@@ddg2256 because it compares or beats those cars in every category, that's why it won every award worth winning this year. Its also why (pre pandemic) you couldn't even get one without paying thousands over MSRP.

When it comes to luxury cars, a lot of the price comes from the brand name, sure there’s some cool features but unless you have to money to blow don’t get a Cadillac

[@mikesavich6813]

Well if you care about how it drive Cadillac is the choice. Kia is ok , but from working there selling parts I've got to drive one they are very nice, but they shift so slow. And for that reason alone I would get the Cadillac plus the seats are more comfortable in the xt6

[@LoneWolfHustle]

I like them both but I like the KIA a little more. Never did I think I'd be saying that but KIA has stepped it up so much with the Stinger, K900 and Telluride!
