If you’re a driver around Walnut Creek or Richmond CA, and are in the market for an upscale, family-oriented three-row SUV, you’ve come to the right place. The Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride both made their debut for the 2020 model year, and offer very similar experiences on the surface, forever linking them as fierce competitors. However, when you dive into the data, it’s clear that the Palisade begins to pull away from its rival in several key areas.
Performance
One of the aspects that makes the Palisade and the Telluride such strong competitors is the fact that they are both equipped with a robust 3.8-liter V6 and front-wheel drive with the same performance output of 291 horsepower. However, Palisade buyers and lessees have the advantage of a more affordable upgrade to all-wheel drive, giving Concord CA and Berkeley better control over your vehicle in a diverse range of driving scenarios.
Safety
If you’re thinking about financing or leasing a Hyundai Palisade to help support a growing family life, you’ll be happy to know that this SUV is not only packed with a vast range of safety features, but it also scores better than the Telluride in frontal crash test ratings. The Palisade earned a perfect five out of five stars, while the Telluride fell a bit short at four out of five.
Interior Space
It goes without saying that adding a third row to an SUV has a way of negatively impacting passenger space. In the case of the Palisade, this is not the case. With more legroom for passengers in the front row and more shoulder room for those in the second row, the Palisade quickly makes itself much more comfortable over long road trips.
