[@PokeDadandPokeSon]

My wife and I have owned 12 Hyundai vehicles. We bought our 1st Hyundai in 2004, and have NEVER had ANY issues with any of the 12 we have owned. I remember in 2008 my wife was hell bent on having a PT Cruiser. Chrysler is a very well known brand, and has been making vehicles for decades, right? It was declared a lemon in less than 3000 miles!!! Right back to Hyundai she went running!! We have only bought Hyundai products since then! We have owned everything from an Accent to a Palisade, they have all been EXCELLENT vehicles! As for me and my house, we will always buy Hyundai! You guys keep doing exactly what you’re doing, as it truly helps to know before ya go to buy!!!

[@fishytank1land]

It seems with that many cars you never went over 50,000 miles on any of them? Just bought a Telluride. Hoping it lasts!!

[@MrPsalms207]

Likewise... But I just mush Genesis, Hyundai, & Kia all together. Lol. Between my wife and I, we've had a 2014 Sorento, 2019 Sorento, 2020 Sedona, and a 2022 Tucson. Literally not even one issue with any of them. I'm sold.

[@PokeDadandPokeSon]

Well, the Veloster she traded in for her Santa Cruz had 106,000 miles on it and ran like new when it was traded. Oh, and the Santa Fe I had was traded in with over 80,000 miles on it. So yes I know EXACTLY how well they last. In fact my daughter is still driving the Tucson we gave her and it has almost 300,000 miles on it, and not one single major repair! Tires, oil changes, and I’ve replaced the battery once, and the brakes twice. I must say that’s pretty damn good!!

[@kellybailey9063]

It sounds like you’ve traded them in every two years on average. Not many cars would have a problem in that time. I’d like to hear from folks who’ve owned these for 10 plus years.

[@PokeDadandPokeSon]

@@kellybailey9063 how is that? Had the Veloster for over 5 years, Santa Fe for almost 4 years. You must be assuming that we only owned them one or two at a time, in which you’d be wrong. Have owned up to 4 of them at one time! Have never traded in a single one without driving it for at least 4 years. Trading in your car, for most people, isn’t about the car having issues. Trades are made for UPGRADE reasons! It’s literally that simple. I’ve had my current Palisade for 2 years now, and won’t be trading until 2026, after the new body redesign.

[@RellupNorth]

As someone’s who’s had both, Telluride is the clear winner imo. Better sound system processing, with real surround sound, better handling than the Palisade, better build quality, more planted feel on road, quieter cabin, more premium looking cabin/ better material choices, power folding mirrors, THIRD ROW LIGHTS l, and overall less obnoxious or overly sensitive safety systems. Hyundai does have power folding seats, massage drivers seat, fully one touch window/ sunroof controls, traffic jam assist cruise control that starts again on its own without you having to hit the gas, and better interior storage. Overall , though, Palisade feels cheaper inside and has a more dated cabin design unless you choose the lighter shade leather. Both models were top trims and on day to day life with them plus styling, the Telluride is superior

[@Facs1]

The tech mentioned is all avaliable on the palisade. One thing I would agree on is the build quality

[@robertcrady3197]

i am going to buy a palisades soon and with the new night edition i just found the car trim i want. it has everything i want in a car.

[@danielvaughn3893]

I just purchased the new night addition. It's beautiful looks like a vehicle from a Batman movie. My first Hyundai I'm very excited and impressed.

[@SuperFitness12]

Hyundai and Kia makes the best looking cars in the industry by Far!!! Wow

[@tmyere.]

Palisade for luxury, Telluride for offroad

[@chrisguapo69]

I have a 2021 Palisade Limited and I can say that this SUV does not disappoint. We do love the extra storage underneath the console as well as the large cup holder storage that can snugly fit precisely a Starbucks 4 drink holder. The only thing I think it needs is the folding mirror functions. I don't know why only the Middle East models have this feature and the US versions do not. Thinking of trading in to a newer Palisade Limited once they have the folding mirror function available.

[@shinjiro212]

Palisade is assembled in Korea (at least the ones we get in the States) while the Telluride is assembled in Georgia (USA). So there is that.

[@ytwizzle]

I have the Jeep Grand Cherokee L but i will say the Palisade is really nice in all black and i seen one moving through the mountains one time and gotta say the handling was very surprising

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

This winter we traded a 2016 Acura RDX on a 24 Kia SX Prestige. Mostly So impressed ! Couple of negatives. 1 - you can’t lock the vehicle from the inside lock button as you leave. You must use the outside lock or remote. This should be an option in settings . You can’t use the Kia app with an out of country phone. We are in Florida for near 6 months. They need to fix these issues. Engine noise on acceleration is a bit rough. Otherwise awesome. The Gas app you recommended doesn’t work with an out of country phone. I just checked.. these are just app writing issues.

[@Xman44x]

The lock is a safety feature to make sure you don't lock your keys in the car. If you were to lock the inside with the keys away from the vehicle, then it would lock. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@hellkitty1014]

The Palisade Calligraphy looks sooo good without the bling grille! It looks very properly upmarket. The Telluride refresh still hasn't won me over, but it is still a good looking CUV. I have to commend H/K for not following the trend of raising prices...just to raise prices. That is despite these two being some of the most sought-after vehicles on sale of the last 2-3years.

[@kenbred46]

I've been bouncing around reviews for these 2 vehicles to get a general idea of which to buy. Your review is the only one that measured interior sound levels at road speeds TYVM.

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed the comparison!

[@KhrissyDaDon]

No power folding mirrors on a top trim Palisade? At 55k? I’ll go with the Telluride!

[@thereo420]

That's so absurd, seeing how their Santa fe has it

[@al151]

You do need the mirrors not to fold to prevent dents from cars parking next to you. My advice is never fold mirrors they are your safety barrier. Now regarding the convenience features, non has electric telescoping steering wheel either with memory function also the climate does not adjust according to the outside temps once you are in the car and start it. How do i know? Just bought a 24 calligraphy 2 weeks ago and test drove the Telluride as well.

[@treydrier3169]

@@al151 How do you like it?

[@daleh8300]

@@al151 your advice about folding mirror is crap. always fold them especially in a parking lot where other mirrors and doors can hit it. electric tele steer wheel? thats a joke right? 99% vehicles don't adjust inside temp compared to outside temp

[@LORDRA1DEN]

I think the Telluride speaks more to me because of it's iconic look. I had an old Cherokee for a while, a Liberty, a 2009 Rav4: I like cars that have a look that lasts. The Palisade has a few more features I like, but the Telluride has an actual shifter which is nice for sport mode, more space in the back, and just looks like something really premium.

[@chilltown333]

I like both but how do they not have wireless carplay/android auto yet??

[@chrisguapo69]

It might be needing a software update. Our 2021 Palisade did not have wireless Apple Carplay until we upgraded the software.

[@FINISHLINE55]

The key feature for me to get a Palisade is having transmission shifters on the steering wheel for driving in the mountains vs. the floor shifter on the Telluride.

[@Funkydood]

AND, according to the most recent statistics, both Hyundai and KIA keep improving by giant leaps, with each passing edition/year!!!!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Definitely prefer the Telluride, excellent comparison!😸

[@SuperFitness12]

I’ll take either one in a heartbeat!!!

[@jywu5353]

Why no power tilt and telescopic wheel. I like getting out of car with the wheel out of the way

[@ravenlazo9507]

I think you should have compared the 2024 Telluride X-Line and not the X-Pro vs. the Calligraphy edition of the Palisade. The X-Line is the more prestigious package, including larger & classier rims. I have own both models. The 2024 Telluride also blacked out all the grey bumper pieces and would have better complimented the Palisade Night Edition.

[@jag1963]

I was going for the Palisade till I saw it didn't have folding mirrors. My Garages are single door and I need to fold the mirrors to get it in. Shame as I preferred the Palisade.

[@dianejohanson98]

I agree. I have folding mirrors and heated back seats on my Honda Passport Touring, which I love. I also have drivers seat memory which is something hard to find unless you get the very top of the line vehicles now and I have touch free tailgate opener too! Where are the perks for lower levels? My Passport isn’t the top of the line and I have all that!

[@MegaCrazyCrayons]

Both of you left out a couple of reasons why Hyundai takes the win, for the fact that it gives us the smart parking feature, which Kia does not provide that. Now for the 3rd row seat, between both SUV, the more practical advantage would be the fact that Hyundai provides that auto folding and unfolding feature so you don't have to struggle to reach the straps to pull the seats back up. Additionally the 3rd row seat allows you to recline the seats back a bit more for a more comfortable ride, another feature that Kia lacks. The front driver seat also includes side adjusting sections on the power seat buttons, its that dial for the lumbar adjustment. this does in-fact, make a huge difference in comfort. Those were 4 more points I noticed that were a huge win for Hyundai to break away from Kia's Telluride and dust it. p.s. The Calligraphy 2WD has sport mode for a much faster throttle response rather than keeping it in "Comfort" mode (slower throttle response). Also, there are two top trims for Hyundai, the Calligraphy and Calligraphy night edition. The big difference is the interior seating which you mentioned to be "lower quality" for the seats being suede in the night edition, while the Calligraphy can also have the option for Nappa Leather. So therefore a point would be added to Hyundai and not just Kia.

[@18729026]

Alcanterra is used in high luxury brands because it does NOT get hot or cold. It is known for this. It also wears very well and is easy to clean.

[@missho33]

I love how you compare these two! Thank you for the info!!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for watching!

[@alexford5214]

We traded out 2021 Calligraphy for the 2024 Calligraphy Night edition. Im already not a fan of the microfiber seats. It seems like a step down from the Napa Leather. Other than that, the newer electronic rearview mirror, better camera use and able to run with a 7 pin trailer was a plus

[@magnoliap5824]

I’m going Palisade SEL premium, AWD with bench seats.

[@85ctorres]

the palisade also has the smart parking assist, no? pretty good perk (in theory, i haven't tried it personally) over the telluride.

[@kyolml]

I was pretty much decided on getting the Palisade since for more power stuff (3rd row, ergo seat, and remote parking) for less money and better mark up situation (more dealers willing to go MSRP on those), until Sept last year the KIA dealer was $4k under MSRP for the Telluride SX-P X-PRO so i have no choice but bought the Telluride. Either one is fine with me it's just coming down to the price

[@stevechimelski4557]

I just bought the 2025 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition for just $1 over dealer invoice.

[@carlosc2783]

Thank you both for this comparison. Well done!

[@CarConfections]

Thanks for watching!

[@-kt6dq]

Great comparison. I've been going back and forth between these 2 vehicles, and the GH.

[@sammeis2508]

“MERICA “

[@PokeDadandPokeSon]

So people shouldn’t buy an extremely reliable HYUNDAI, because what? Oh because they don’t get EVERY SINGLE ONE “PERFECT”? Hello!! NONE OF THEM DO!!! That’s why we have laws to protect us, the consumer! You want an honest opinion about a Hyundai, anything? Ask somebody who’s owned 12 of them! I have never had ANY issues with ANY of them! No engine issues, no transmission problems, nothing! I have owned everything from a Hyundai Accent to a Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy, all great vehicles! 10 out of 10, highly recommend! Don’t even get me started on a warranty that NO OTHER manufacturer can come close to offering!

[@user-yx4on8hx4w]

​@@1976axerhandmy mom has a G80, same 3.8L motor as Palisade/Telle. 150k+ miles, not a single issue with the motor 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@leibstandarte0]

My 24 Telluride has power lumbar massaging that can be programed to come on every 30 or 60 minutes.

[@MegaCrazyCrayons]

that can also be done with the Palisade... same thing with the 30-60 min intervals.

[@TheHawkOverCleveland]

“Not quite as premium” for the palisade seating material is very subjective (opinion not a fact). I would let people decide for themself…my wife preferred the feel and look of the micro suede over leather in the standard calligraphy so I went with the night edition. After having leather in so many cars being different was a selling point. Overall both are great cars, great review as well!

[@18729026]

See my comment on the seat material. It was an inaccurate statement in the video.

[@dianejohanson98]

I wish y’all would compare the middle of the lines vehicles because these top of the line vehicles are way over my price range. We need more realistic expectations. I do like both vehicles and am having a hard time deciding which one. I’m leaning toward the Palisade and my husband likes the Telluride better. We are also looking at the Mazda CX 90. Too many choices!

[@theodoretoth2884]

Telluride all the way!

[@jafettferro9095]

please! it would be great if you made a video about 2024 Santa Fe vs Sorento!

[@CarConfections]

We are planning on it once they come out 👍

[@Uncle-Basil]

Both are great vehicles, but I prefer the 2024 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy AWD..., which I hope to purchase overseas soon.

[@MorganOlynyk]

Does anyone have any feedback on either of these two vehicles when it comes to rough gravel roads and longevity? We have about 10km of rough roads from our house to the highway and dont wan tto be rattled and squeaked to death after a month!

[@daleh8300]

all are the same no matter what vehicle

[@shawn2481]

I would love to see the difference in the highway drive assist

[@kennabeed7047]

I wish my family could afford and were in the market to get a bigger vehicle. I love the new tellurides for the features, leg room in the 3rd row (tall kids over here) and overall performance and feel. For now, ill admire from afar and window shop 😂

[@JRB41]

Palisade for me.. just wish they would add power folding mirrors! The telluride is extremely ugly on the outside

[@brandonmullin4039]

The best bang for your buck would be the palisade. Since you get more luxury features for the same price as the telluride.

[@stevechimelski4557]

Plus the Palisade has better warranty and 3 years free maintenance.

[@brandonmullin4039]

@ they both get the same warranty 5y 60k bumper to bumper and 10y 100k drivetrain. For the maintenance probably depends on the dealer.

[@vasilerobitu5401]

It is possible to be able to change the trim on your car search app?

[@vasilerobitu5401]

You should be getting the nightshade edition on Kia too.

[@ELP1125]

I've owed both Hyundai and Kia, very relaible cars IMO. Hyundai is more for comfort and kia is more for sport.

[@Est.Her414]

Very interesting! I found my Kia has a much smoother ride, I feel a lot more in my Hyundai

[@meet_lilEmman]

The telluride is obviously better

[@Funkydood]

The Telluride, hands down!!!!

[@dlane5384]

Excellent. Top shelf review.

[@darriontunstall3708]

The Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride are related.

[@CarConfections]

[@ESB-nj6rd]

Telluride for me, I think they add extra stuff to the palisade to out shine the telluride ride tho

[@BlasianPersuasion1024]

I’ve been in the same 3 SUV toss-up (the third option being the Grand Highlander Hybrid for mpg in SoCal, but lacks all the toys of the other 2). I think this was an excellent review. I’m thinking about trading in my 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I love her, but I have a hip disability that is causing me to “grow up” and get something more functional (RIP off-roading/ Dukes of Hazard trips) 😅…although I’d keep my Jeep if money was no issue. Gonna be honest, I’m afraid of cars with a lot of tech because it’s just more stuff that can break and take to a mechanic vs. a DIY fix Jeep, but there’s no avoiding that with a new car. My boyfriend’s Alfa Romeo Giulia has almost completely scarred me and now I’m almost at the AMA expert level knowledge on how to diagnose issue #xxx . If I’m going to give up the freedom of open air of a Wrangler (#GoTopless), I’m going to need to be spoiled on the inside. I’ve been a rough and tough girl for a long time, time to be a Badass Queen 👸🏽 Looking @ you Calligraphy Night 😈

[@Niles-Guy]

How do you have a night edition without blacking out the window trims in black ? WTF Hyundai epic failure

[@RC-73]

Totally agree! Black everything out!!!

[@FunAtDisney]

If only they offered a hybrid or PHEV……

[@duvilopez7992]

Hyundai 🎉🎉🎉

[@edwarddefilippi8137]

Both of them are really nice. There are some things I do not like about each. I think both of their exteriors are a bit too much, at least for me. Same with their interiors. I personally prefer simpler designs. However, I really like the All-new Acadia and Traverse, which the Palisade and Telluride should be worried about.

[@user-yx4on8hx4w]

Jury still out on the long term reliability of running a 4cy Turbo in these larger vehicles.

[@sammeis2508]

The Palisade looks more like a station wagon and the Telluride looks more like a SUV ?

[@Puchiaca69]

Question are you guys know about cars u guy went school for it

[@zachfingliss8359]

Telluride also has smart parking. Not sure if that’s only in 2024 though.

[@ericrainey8224]

Telluride doesn't have smart parking, genius

[@tanekiagrant8479]

Okay here's the thing though both of them do look good in every Dimension the Palisade looks bigger than to tell you right even though they're the same but I would probably pick the Mazda cx90 just because it has the most luxurious interior not saying that to tell you right in the Palisade is bad but it's just the monster has more luxury oriented stuff

[@user-yx4on8hx4w]

Say what???? Lol

[@chaehwanlim1562]

I have been driving kia 2021 telluride sx trim. Everybody talks about interiors and exteriors , not about its engine. Its good looking car but it's GDI engine consumes lot of engine oil, you have to top up the oil every 2-3weeks. And lot of carbon build up inside the engine.abd it struggles to start, delayed start, fail to start. Especially, at the traffic light, after auto engine shut off it fails to restart. Dealership changed battery for $600, sensor for $700. But they couldn't fix it. Now it's completely dead. Korean car lasts for only 3 years. I'm a korean but my family, friends, 500 coworkers, never ever buy korean products anymore, generation to come. They are cheating the customers. They shouldn't be allowed to sell their products.

[@Razoraw]

The Telluride is built in America.

[@Razoraw]

Also, sounds like the dealer you used doesn't have any decent techs.

[@Puchiaca69]

Are you guys mechanic

[@tmyere.]

I'm not digging the night edition palisade. It just looks ugly if the grill is fully black out.

[@DESTRIAZ]

Telluride is not nicely shaped at all. Pallisade for me

[@godzilla2021fan]

Telluride is bigger and it’s better

[@HerbalistAce]

Hyundai is better.

[@G-Rated]

Both of them are a bit overrated. The Styling has not aged well in my opinion. The new Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia twins have effortlessly outclassed the _budget Cadillac_ esque South Korean twins.

[@TruthOverLies]

Other than that pesky blown engine issues it’s a great car! 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vigninnouhinnoude2792]

I still can't understand why people keep throwing their hard earned money into a car brand they don't really know. Those 2 brands are known to become useful after certain mileage compared to others that have proven their reliability overtime ! Personally, I will never buy any of these and I will always stick with my honda pilot even though they are not offering hybrid option at this time

[@Dkaneinsane]

Honda was never reliable. Both Hyundai and KIA last longer than Hondas overall.
