Hey everyone, two quick corrections. First, and perhaps MOST importantly, Thomas meant Ed, not Eddy. Also, the 10-year warranty we reference is US only. In Canada, its a 5 year. Sad face. Have a great day!

Actually like these “normal cars” reviews.

Palisade is also a town in Colorado. They are both towns in Colorado. Telluride is a ski town in the mountains, and Palisade is a scenic town in Western Colorado known for its vineyards and peaches

10 years ago I never would have even looked at, let alone considered buying a Hyundai or Kia product.. boy have they come a long way. Its nice to see more competition and selection out there as a consumer.

Kia Telluride just has a better road presence

[sachemrock]

In my opinion, the Telluride is much better looking on the interior as well as exterior. My preference is the Telluride! And I like that it has a conventional shifter.

One of the few channels I never skip the intro on. Such quality content!

Hyundai and Kia have definitely stepped up their game recently and I love it

[wondurfulworld]

Kia Telluride definitely has better exterior, Hyundai Palisade reverse that with better interior with exception of the push button shift selector. The perfect car will be mix of both of them.

This video sold me on the 22 Palisade Calligraphy. Literally couldn’t be happier with the purchase. For anyone wondering, the Calligraphy model is absolutely worth the extra cost and the extra 2 months we had to wait for the order.

I went with the Palisade for these reasons:

-My note 20 ultra fits in the wireless charging pad without having to take off the phone case. The phone doesn't fit in the Telluride charging pad with my phone case on. It would fit if I took off my case.

-Palisade has power folding 3rd row seats. Wife is 5'2", it's difficult to use the Telluride's manual 3rd rows

-Nicer interior

-More storage space. I like that extra storage space in the front row, just under the gear selector

-4 way lumbar support. Only 2way on Telluride

-On the right of the infotainment screen, it shows you which passenger(s) haven't buckled up

-Includes privacy cargo cover

Hyundai/Kia/Genesis is the current center of the autoverse for things that aren't electric.

My wife originally wanted the Telluride, but after finding out dealers in the US were gouging prices, I decided to look at the Palisade. We ended up with an SEL with the convenience pkg, which included the much nicer 20" wheels and many more amenities. We almost have 20K miles on it now and are averaging 23mpg. I have gotten used to, and actually love the push button gear selector and the paddles make it a little more fun when the mood strikes. It also allows for a shelf on the floor under the center console which gives it better storage packaging over the Telluride. Hyundai dealers were way more willing to deal on the Palisade as well. The reason it became a no brainer. Oh yeah, Car and Driver actually got 6.8 secs to 60mph in the Palisade and 7.0 secs in the Telluride.

Post Video thoughts: get the telluride if you spend more time outside of your suv looking at it. Get the Palisade if you spend more time inside the suv actually driving it.

[alonzolaurel]

Just got the Palisade, love it. We originally wanted telluride but it wasn't as comfy inside. Agree with your review of both. Both awesome cars

[ondrejkonopasek]

I can't help myself... The Kia is one of most beautiful cars these days. PERIOD.

[tobyg]

I’m quite jealous you guys are able to review many cars like this in the true form of a unbiased review and with humor. It’s a pleasure following your videos.

"I don't want to put my car, into drive, by braille."
I lost it.

[henrygitenstein]

Looked at both. The deal breaker for the Hyundai was the lack of folding mirrors which the Kia has. At this level, that should be standard now.

[sylvainbernard]

I got a Telluride and I love it. Your test vehicule didn't have the Napa leather and you didn't test the line keep assist with adaptive cruise control, its pretty awesome. Really nice in long trips.
