The 2020 Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade are platform-mates. They share the same V-6 with 291 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission. Both vehicles have similar brakes, suspension, and optional all-wheel-drive systems. Both vehicles can tow 5000 pounds when properly equipped. You can expect the 2020 Palisade to come with a Harman Kardon sound system.
Telluride
The 2017 Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride are both great SUVs, and the Palisade wins hands-down in many categories. Both offer luxury at low prices, but the Palisade has more standard features and EPA fuel economy. The Telluride comes standard with adaptive cruise control, which reads traffic signs and adjusts speed accordingly. Its ground clearance is 8 inches and it offers all-wheel drive.
Hyundai Palisade
The Hyundai Palisade is a bit bolder than the Kia Telluride. Both cars sport a massive grille, angular headlights and thick C-pillars. However, while both cars share a similar footprint, the Telluride squeezes out 0.8 inches of length and 0.5 inches of width. Those gains translate to slightly better third-row headroom and an extra 3.0 cubic feet of cargo space. The Telluride also has more trim levels, and the Hyundai Palisade has more options to customize.
Kia Telluride
The Kia Telluride is a larger SUV that is also more comfortable to drive. The standard seating is sufficient for eight passengers, but there is also a third row, which seats seven people in captain’s chairs. There is an available 10-speaker sound system, and it features Bluetooth connectivity. The Telluride also has good ground clearance, with eight inches. Its ride is smooth and comfortable, and it can tow 5,000 pounds.
Harman Kardon sound system
If you are going to go to Telluride, Colorado, and you want to hear how the sound system in the hotel sounds, consider installing a Harman Kardon sound system. This high-quality audio system is the reason that many people are flocking to the resort. Harman Kardon is the best company to use for this, and you won’t be disappointed. The company makes some of the highest-quality audio equipment available, including headphones, speakers, and car stereos.
Seating for seven
The Telluride’s interior is comfortable and upscale, with plenty of desirable features. The SX trim, for example, has a head-up display, heated rear seats, and a premium headliner. Its cabin is roomy, with ample head and legroom, and seats seven comfortably. With optional captain’s chairs, seating for seven can be increased to eight.
Reliability
If you’re planning to purchase a new Kia Telluride, you may be wondering if you should consider it for reliability. As far as reliability goes, the Telluride ranks very high with a five-star reliability rating from Consumer Reports. However, the reliability of the Telluride depends on a few factors. The first is the cost of repairs, which averages $474 per year. The second is the probability of experiencing a major repair.
Price
Both the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade have nearly identical brakes and stop distances. Both models stop from 60 mph in about 129 feet, but the Telluride’s brake pedal is noticeably more responsive. Both SUVs offer luxurious interiors and seating for seven. The Telluride is slightly quieter, however, and offers a higher degree of legroom.
