I owned a Palisade Ultimate for four years and enjoyed the vehicle but recently checked out and purchased the Telluride X line recently because in test driving the Telluride, it felt like I had more control of the vehicle. The Palisade has soft suspension but the Telluride is firm and almost like driving a sportswear.
Great comparison review. I’ve had my 2023 Palisade Calligraphy for almost 3 months now and love it. My kids love the heated seats in the 2nd & 3rd rows (we live in MI and use heated seats at least half of the year). The parking assist (backing up & pulling forward) is really convenient when someone parks too close. I definitely got way more options on this vehicle than others I was considering for a similar price (e.g, Buick Enclave).
How much was your mark up? I was looking at a Telluride. It was 37k Msrp. Dealers website said 39k (Never true). At the dealer it was almost 59k. 10k Market Adj and 2.5k in Tint and others...So basically another invisble 10k was added
I’ve had my 2023 calligraphy for a month now and I am literally in love. The feel, look and overall package I feel is better on the palisade. I’ve had so many compliments on it.
@@TheRealSAFN In my recent experience dealers are no longer marking up as they realize the market has shifted. Bought a Telluride in Dec with zero markup.
@J Wesley how is it cheaply made and outdated? .I love the simplicity of it. Standard NA V6 engine. Not turbo that can potentially go bad down the road. Bundled with a 10 year power train warranty and 3 year no cost maintenance for the palisade. It's a winner. This is coming from an auto tech with a love for German cars that break all the time with overly complex engines.
I just got the Kia Telluride Prestige X-line and even that trim I liked it better than the pro. I also drove the Calligraphy and it was nice, but it has way too much chrome and i prefer the seamless two screen set up and wood dash as well as the diamond stitch leather seats. They where both good but for us we liked the Telluride more :)
You brothers are on fire! Best to do the comparisons on RUclips. My only wish would've been to either get the "offroad" version of the Hyundai or non-XPro SX-P Telluride for more direct comparison. In 2020, I thought the Hyundai was styled too-overwrought and and wouldn't age well(although its interior embarrassed many supposed luxury brands(coughs...all of Japan), while the Telluride was the darling of the class. Boy, what a difference a refresh can make! The Hyundai's rhinoplasty simply elevated it to new heights for me(although the Calligraphy is too blingy for me, I'd go with a version with the darkened treatment)while the Telluride, losing its iconic amber DRL rings and simplified styling just seems so anonymous now, although still identifiable as a Kia. Interior wise, I would still give the Hyundai the edge, but Kia has seriously closed the gap. I still don't understand how the Hyundai, the luxury flagship of these two, doesn't have power-folding mirrors yet the Kia does. And I remain offended that H/K/Genesis doesn't yet allow for wireless AA/AC in 2022 on their screens larger than 8". A tremendous miss, especially against the competition. It was also strange to hear more engine noise in the Palisade over the Telluride. They're still a tough set of twins to beat for the $$ now, since I'm hearing that buyers are more easily able to get them.at MSRP and used models are starting to sell at a more reasonable price.
It looks like Hyundai prioritzed auto-dimming mirrors over power-folding ones. I think that's a good trade-off in today's market of overly bright LED headlights. Auto-folding is available on cheaper cars, but auto-dimming side mirrors are typically luxury car exclusive. Hyundai was smarter this time in where to add value. It's also cheaper which makes the Telluride the worse car from now on. Similarly the new Sportage, by releasing a year later, improved massively where the Tucson lacked. Both companies are so different in their design and strategy that they learn and try to compete with each other. This is great for the consumer.
@@ishaansaral502 I think the mirror miss just bugs me because something like a JGC has power-folding, both driver/passenger auto-dimming, and tilt-down in reverse. They've had it since 2013. The wireless Apple Carplay is even maddening though. But I do agree on the Telluride pricing. Although I do appreciate the interior upgrades, Kia moving away from the DRLs just seems like a mistake since it was such an eye-catching and upscale design.
Palisade takes it, better interior. Telluride may look better on the exterior but resembles a rang rover, palisade more unique. And less common on street.
This is the first set of Korean siblings where the Hyundai doesn't look so much more dated than the Kia in the interior. In this segment I would definitely get the Hyundai.
Except the Telluride is not Korean , it is produced soley for the North American market and built in Georgia . I'd take the Pallisade all day long . It's built for the world market and shipped from Korea
I think it’s the other way around. This is the first time the Kia isn’t outdated and finally gets a digital display. The k5 still looks like on optima on the inside and the forte is a previous gen Elantra still
Got my Calligraphy Robust Emerald a couple of weeks back and I'm loving it. The refresh looks so much classier inside out. I can't help but smirk when I see 2022 models parked next to mine. Honestly, the Palisade refresh is so much better than the Telluride. I was skeptical about the front grill, but it looks much better in person than in the videos
I'm glad you brought that up about the grill because watching this video, I keep winching every time I saw that grill. I'll go drive one and get a better perspective in person. Congrats on the new car.
Loveeee the new designs but sad they got rid of the amber DRLs, I hope they don’t remove the option on the Sorento and K5, makes these beautiful Kia’s stand out, great video thank you!
@@nickotzkosmusic4397 I wish they did, they would look pretty sweet, but unfortunately, the sorento is the only one who didn’t get this treatment when it started.
Kia looks rugged and off road. And Hyundai looks upscale and luxury. Either way, both look very beautiful. I love the way the Hyundai Palisade looks exterior and interior. But that Kia Telluride is gorgeous too. If I had to pick I'd actually have a hard time trying to pick of the two. The palisade is more unique of a styling on the outside and is very nice but it's too much Chrome. The telluride looks a lot like the range Rover. So it's trying to copycat which I don't really like but it is more of my type of look. Both are very nice. I would actually have a hard time picking just because they're both beautiful crossovers.
Why compare the X-Pro (Prestige) to the Calligraphy? IMO apples to apples would be SX Prestige without X-Pro. What are your thoughts on the new (silver) front bumper on the new Telluride? From the wrong angle it looks like an underbite lol. Have a 23 on order and still an upgrade due to interior and tech bits so I am going to stick with it, but... Back to the comparison no comment on the dual screens of the Palisade. Even while the same real estate, the Telluride is so much better executed. Massaging seat is nice add for the Palisade though and I do think the rotary shifter is a win for the added room and storage (thank god that added paddle though, very helpful for grade shifting vs +- on my Expedition) + the gear shifter on the Telluride is not quite right. Thanks for thorough review!
i have a 22 palisade and i tell you i never wouldve seen myself in one and the only reason i got it is for its space for the kids but i can now officially say im hooked on these beautiful suvs. I get so many compliments one my palisade. People are very intrigued about it.
Thats literally the main thing I hate about car reviewers. 99% of them always do the higest class. Not every needs a sunroof or hearseats or 360 camera, etc. I just want a nice big suv so my wife and I plus the kids have space. I live in AZ so dont needed heated anything.. and cooling could careless about. I have A/C
@@TheRealSAFN but on car confections standalone reviews, when they mention a feature like heated/ ventilated seats, they explain which trim level the feature starts on.
Great review. I’m currently waiting for my Calligraphy to come in. I’m hearing the end of this month (although I was told the end of August then September too lol). Hopefully this time it’s true. Both are beautiful cars but the palisade just looks better, inside and out, in my opinion.
@@Tonyr0206 well fingers crossed I hear something today or tomorrow because, from what I understand, if it’s not in before the new month than it’s subject to ANOTHER interest rate increase as they continue to climb every month. It may be out of the reasonable pricing range at that point. It’s already more expensive than it should be because of the economy/car market.
@@kipperrd8964 It's a tough market right now, and I feel your pain. I ordered a new F-150 Raptor on APRIL 2nd. To this day, I still don't have a production date from Ford yet. Meanwhile, every day that passes and every mile I drive, the value of my trade gets lower and lower. Being as impatient as I am, I've been trying to buy one in lieu of waiting for mine to get built. Good luck finding a dealership selling at MSRP. I've found them at $10K and up to $60K over MSRP. Nope. I'll wait! LOL
Both are beautiful vehicles… a telluride sx {no prestige) offers everything at a cheaper price than calligraphy… the calligraphy has a lot of bling between the rims and grill.. it has power folding rear seats..which I don’t like.. the pull downs on Kia are just quicker and easier to maintain- I also like the telluride gear shift area-as Palisade seems to separate the front seats… it’s really just personal preference …women will probably like the looks of the palisade and men more the telluride-- for me I would lean telluride…but if I was shopping for a vehicle and the palisade was available and the Telly wasn’t--I would buy it and be happy with it just the same
I think the telluride really wins overall. When you have a family, both are good, but just having the space and comforts really makes the car feel at home. Ive enjoyed it alot ruclips.net/video/spn9tUgytp8/видео.html There's alot of good coming from Kia the last few years and it seems like their brand has completely changed in a great way
My wife and I just purchased the telluride. She liked the blacked out rims and grill along with the real shifter plus was a bigger fan of the infotainment style of the telluride. So most of all it was looks for her. She wanted a more refined rugged look instead of the more luxury look. We’re are happy with our 2023 telluride.
I like the Palisade more than the Telluride, but the thing is, only the Telluride is about to be sold in Italy by Kia, where I live, so there is not really that much of a choice here ^_^
2022 SX Prestige Nightfall is the Telluride sweet spot. Just wish they had it available with the combined digital display and smart camera rear view mirror. Palisade looks like an upscale suburb soccer mom car.
I started with a 2019 Palisade and recently upgraded to the 23. Its not just that I like the styling of the Hyundai, I love the fact it has its own personality, and not that of a range rover. More than ANYTHING, both are made up from Hyundai. Mostly everything about a Kia comes from Hyundai, the steel frame, the engine, the transmission, the designer that Hyundai paid big money stealing away from Audi, the performance tuner who Hyundai stole away from BMW. So why would I want to buy a Hyundai that doesn't have Hyundai's name?
The Palisade for sure. The suspension dampeners have been adjusted that further remove micro vibrations, and also, the cruise control is smoother in traffic due to transmission adjustments..!!
I just got my Calligraphy 2 weeks ago and I'm absolutely lovin it! I had a 2021 Sonata Limited before which is the same exact car, just smaller so I'm very familiar with the tech😁👍
I pick the Palisade for the grill in the front, power message seats, 3rd-row heating, 20"wheels, 3 yrs complimentary, additional leather on door trim, center pass-through, power-folding on 3rd row, comfortable seating.
Really wish the Palisade's front seats had the lowering elbow wrests because with no stick to sit your hand on and only having push button I hate my right hand tangling with nothing to do.
Trying to decide which vehicle to order to replace my 2019 Mazda CX-9. I need more cargo room, a taller rear hatch and self-locking doors that really work. If I hit my head on the CX-9 tailgate ONE more time when it's open, I'll be too concussed to decide. This video both helped and added in some "which one to buy" confusion at the same time. I was solid Telluride before I saw this video, now I'm not so sure. I'll figure it out - thanks for an awesome and well-done comparative video!
PS - Despite my Telluride leanings, today I located a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy in transit at a local dealer. It's the only available vehicle of this make/model within 100 miles. Should be here December 18, 2022. The dealer said order time for the Telluride and Palisade is 5-7 months depending on features. Your video really helped! Cheers! Tommy B.
Mark-up over MSRP on Kia is ridiculous. I am going with the Palisade. If you go for the upper end model of each then you will get a better deal with the Hyundai. You get more for your money at the lower end models by going with the Kia. But if you want all the cool options without the insane mark-up I'd take the Hyundai. Palisade has a more comfortable and beautiful interior. While I prefer the the way exterior on the Telluride I intend on spending more time driving the car then looking at it from the outside, so again Hyundai wins.
Yesss telluride markups are out of control. The 2023 telluride S is the same price as the palisade calligraphy. I so badly wanted the telluride but I won’t pay more for a lower trim that cost the same as a higher one
Both are good looking vehicles with luxury interior packages; however, I have to give the nod to the Palisade b/c of the additional features like the power rear seat, auto trunk opener, smart park, exterior front grill, 20” tires, rear seat heating, electronic gear shift, and the apparent next level luxury feel which is going to rival Lexus (which I have now, but looking for new suv), BMW, Mercedes, and almost Range Rover status. Now, the Hyundai brand may never equal Mercedes, BMW, and Range Rover; but those vehicles are about a 1.5X-2X cost. Either way, a Telluride or Palisade is a nice car. Oh, when will their EV versions come out ? Just curious
I have a couple of reasons I don't like the Kia telluride. 1. There has been evidence that supports claims that they catch fire for the wiring harness connected to the tow hitch. Unless you want the possibility of your Kia telluride to go up in flames . 2. A lot of Kia telluride owners complain about the headlights not bringing bright enough especially the factory LEDs. That's why my 2016 Nissan Sentra had the halogens replaced with aftermarket LED. Disclaimer.. make sure you check before doing this so it's not void your warranty. 3. Yeah it has one of the best warranties out there. However pay attention to the word limited. What that means is that just because it's a bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty doesn't mean it covers everything only limited items. Unlike my Nissan brand which is unlimited. 4. Lack of Anti-Theft technology. You can have the fanciest, flashiest, and high technology car you want. However it means nothing if it gets stolen. My 2016 Nissan Sentra came standard with intelligent key, immobilization system, locking steering wheel, and push button start. With the Kia telluride you only get push button on the higher trims. 5. Kia is the child of Hyundai. Kia and Hyundai engines are known to have transmission problems within the first 50,000 miles.
I like telluride better, but I like palisade electronic shifter that provides more space in the front. Also, sad kia removed amber lights and telluride naming in the front.
I think we can all agree that kia and hyundai did a good job on tech but needs to update their engines id like to see something new just like how toyota is doing with the highlander
I've read about a lot of troublesome problems with the Telluride within the first 30,000 miles (engine oil, a rear drive coupling, electrical, computer, and even sunroof and windshield glass issues) Since they are so similar, Does the Palisade have these same issues ?
This particular Palisade looks better than this particular Telluride. That can change depending how one options each. You can't go wrong with either one.
One more thing to add for the Palisade is the HTRAC system - Comfort, Smart, Eco, Sport & Normal. If you put the Palisade in Sport mode, you'll see a much higher acceleration, power and sound.
thanks for the side by side review, I have been strategically planning on what I needed, I even consider Kia Carnival SX prestige with VIP seats, my thought is that during winter, I can take my truck 4x4 to places for some time off with family, at the same time I need a summer vehicle road trip. I cant put weather sensitive items on my truck bed during summer, then if I am buying an SUV, at least be AWD, but the price is out of my budget, so I considering the kia carnival sx prestige as my summer get away vehicle. I haven't decided yet, now it is between carnival or FWD calligraphy which van is a tad bit lower on price, but I really like the palisade massage chair and features. or i'll just wait next year and buy a used 2023 calligraphy
No offense, but I didn't used to be a big fan of your Channel, but I think you do a great job with your car comparisons I've watched other channels comparisons and they just have the two cars that they're comparing next to each other and they just go through the stuff but you talk about what the car has to offer and then say which one does better at what and give them points accordingly😊 Also I love how you show all of the light patterns like the blinkers and reverse lights. And you cover everything oh, I was worried you wouldn't stay saying about the massaging seats in the Palisade but you did. I do wish you played the same song for each car.
Had my telluride for bout 3 months now , after researching both of course. I traded my stinger for the 23 telluride an Haven't drove my GL 550 since! Lol
can someone tell/share the real life Miles Per Gallon of Palisade and Telluride? When the manufacturer says 19, I suspect you have to take at least 15% off from the paper number. My 2022 Lexus RX350 says 20 MPG on paper, the real life MPG in city is about 15, I am not crazy driving at all. Searched on Internet, the number varies hugely, some people said they got about 44MPG (90% highway, 10% city), some said they got 12-17MPG in the city. I am more concerned on the in city MPG.
We bought the 2023 KIA SX Prestige and if I could find one complaint I wish it had wireless Apple Carplay. Everything else is great! By the way we traded a Cadillac and believe that the Telluride is quieter and rides at least as good.
I hope you do a comparison like this between the new 2023/24 Honda Pilot Elite and the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Hybrid Limited or Platinum. This is a very good comparison. Please add the outer dimensions as well. Length, width, height. That would be helpful to see how it fits in tight spaces.
I know I'm a little late to this conversation, but the Limited has most of the major stuff that's on the Calligraphy, but with the black grille. I was planning to get a Limited, but liked that big old chrome grille on the Calligraphy. I got the same color as the one in this video, Typhoon Silver. I guess I'm old school because those wheels, that grille and the full length brake light on the back got me. I didn't need a vehicle that could park in tight spaces by itself, though. I'll walk to the back of the parking lot for a big "non-door dinging" space first. I guess moving it back and forth with the remote will be entertainment for my friends. Every model except the Calligraphy has a black grille in 2023.
You left out the fact the Telluride has more color options, more trim options, and a option for rear seat entertainment, and better towing and self leveling suspension that the Palisade doesn't have.
The Palisade is really nice but because i'm 30 years old, I went with the Telluride because it has a "younger person" look. The Hyundai externally looked too "soccer mom" for me.
Nice suvs. I see the video maker does not consider subaru ascent as part of the competition. I am curious why? I'm debating between these 3. Can you compare the awd systems for the telluride the palisade and the subaru ascent? How do they compare in safety? And 3rd row space and leg room? Thanks
There's alot of good from all 3 of those vehicles. The ascent has a really sharp look and the safety features of a Subaru make it a very good car for the family if you live somewhere that has bad weather or terrain. The eyesight is the biggest plus to it. Here is a quick look at one that spells out the benefits ruclips.net/video/RprGgGOOvXE/видео.html The Telluride versus the Pallisade is really where I think the battle for the best SUV is. Both have alot of great features, but nothing feels as great as the styling of the Telluride. ruclips.net/video/SUY4EgyNTcM/видео.html I think if you are aiming for a family SUV, the Kia Telluride wins. ruclips.net/video/spn9tUgytp8/видео.html
Test drove a Ascent and liked how it handled, but it looked just like all the other Subaru products. I have to look twice to tell it from an Outback. Also, it has a Turbo 4 cyl. and I wanted a V6. Not as roomy as these two and just didn't excite me. Lastly, that has been Subaru's least reliable vehicle for some reason.
I love both of these vehicles but they both where so over priced with all the add-ons if you wanted great features. So I chose the new 2023 Nissan Pathfinder. It had great features even a panoramic sunroof and lane assistance 360 camera around vehicle, leather interior premium Bose sound system and much more for $1000's less.
Hi. You said you are getting a massage. Do the seats vibrate and are you calling that a massage or are there mechanisms protruding from the seats massaging you?
The only drawback of these cars is that the captain chairs in higher trims make them a 6 seater instead of a 7 or 8 seater. At least they should have given an option of having a connected bench in the second row of higher trims.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review of the 2 SUVs we are considering. We are leaning towards Hyundai Palisade just because it looks more luxurious !

Just like several years ago, I still prefer the exterior of the telluride and the interior of the palisade.

Why compare the X-Pro (Prestige) to the Calligraphy? IMO apples to apples would be SX Prestige without X-Pro. What are your thoughts on the new (silver) front bumper on the new Telluride? From the wrong angle it looks like an underbite lol. Have a 23 on order and still an upgrade due to interior and tech bits so I am going to stick with it, but... Back to the comparison no comment on the dual screens of the Palisade. Even while the same real estate, the Telluride is so much better executed. Massaging seat is nice add for the Palisade though and I do think the rotary shifter is a win for the added room and storage (thank god that added paddle though, very helpful for grade shifting vs +- on my Expedition) + the gear shifter on the Telluride is not quite right. Thanks for thorough review!
i have a 22 palisade and i tell you i never wouldve seen myself in one and the only reason i got it is for its space for the kids but i can now officially say im hooked on these beautiful suvs. I get so many compliments one my palisade. People are very intrigued about it.
3.8L rated for 19 MPG for city?! Can you please share the real life MPG in city? Thanks
I gonna choose the new 2023 Kia Telluride.
I just got my 2023 Calligraphy about 2 weeks ago and I’m IN LOVE!! Everything I needed for my family! Thanks for an awesome review!
Glad you enjoyed the comparison! And congrats on your new Palisade!
It would be nice to see comparisons of the less expensive versions of both vehicles. Many are not in the 50k bracket
Thats literally the main thing I hate about car reviewers. 99% of them always do the higest class. Not every needs a sunroof or hearseats or 360 camera, etc. I just want a nice big suv so my wife and I plus the kids have space. I live in AZ so dont needed heated anything.. and cooling could careless about. I have A/C
@@TheRealSAFN but on car confections standalone reviews, when they mention a feature like heated/ ventilated seats, they explain which trim level the feature starts on.
I agree 😮
Great review. I’m currently waiting for my Calligraphy to come in. I’m hearing the end of this month (although I was told the end of August then September too lol). Hopefully this time it’s true. Both are beautiful cars but the palisade just looks better, inside and out, in my opinion.
Thank you! You're gonna love it once it comes in!
My wife has a '21 Calligraphy and absolutely loves it. The interior is gorgeous.
@@Tonyr0206 well fingers crossed I hear something today or tomorrow because, from what I understand, if it’s not in before the new month than it’s subject to ANOTHER interest rate increase as they continue to climb every month. It may be out of the reasonable pricing range at that point. It’s already more expensive than it should be because of the economy/car market.
@@kipperrd8964 It's a tough market right now, and I feel your pain. I ordered a new F-150 Raptor on APRIL 2nd. To this day, I still don't have a production date from Ford yet. Meanwhile, every day that passes and every mile I drive, the value of my trade gets lower and lower. Being as impatient as I am, I've been trying to buy one in lieu of waiting for mine to get built. Good luck finding a dealership selling at MSRP. I've found them at $10K and up to $60K over MSRP. Nope. I'll wait! LOL
@@Tonyr0206 Ha, well it sucks all around I guess. Hope you get your truck soon. Raptor is a baddass machine, good luck with it.
Both are beautiful vehicles… a telluride sx {no prestige) offers everything at a cheaper price than calligraphy… the calligraphy has a lot of bling between the rims and grill.. it has power folding rear seats..which I don’t like.. the pull downs on Kia are just quicker and easier to maintain- I also like the telluride gear shift area-as Palisade seems to separate the front seats… it’s really just personal preference …women will probably like the looks of the palisade and men more the telluride-- for me I would lean telluride…but if I was shopping for a vehicle and the palisade was available and the Telly wasn’t--I would buy it and be happy with it just the same
I think the telluride really wins overall. When you have a family, both are good, but just having the space and comforts really makes the car feel at home. Ive enjoyed it alot
ruclips.net/video/spn9tUgytp8/видео.html
There's alot of good coming from Kia the last few years and it seems like their brand has completely changed in a great way
My wife and I just purchased the telluride. She liked the blacked out rims and grill along with the real shifter plus was a bigger fan of the infotainment style of the telluride. So most of all it was looks for her. She wanted a more refined rugged look instead of the more luxury look. We’re are happy with our 2023 telluride.
I like the Palisade more than the Telluride, but the thing is, only the Telluride is about to be sold in Italy by Kia, where I live, so there is not really that much of a choice here ^_^
Bought two 2023 Palisade Sel Premium and they are they best vehicles we have ever owned. I personally think they look better then the Telluride.
lol they look like an old mans car with all that shiny chrome... telluride looks better
2022 SX Prestige Nightfall is the Telluride sweet spot. Just wish they had it available with the combined digital display and smart camera rear view mirror. Palisade looks like an upscale suburb soccer mom car.
I started with a 2019 Palisade and recently upgraded to the 23. Its not just that I like the styling of the Hyundai, I love the fact it has its own personality, and not that of a range rover. More than ANYTHING, both are made up from Hyundai. Mostly everything about a Kia comes from Hyundai, the steel frame, the engine, the transmission, the designer that Hyundai paid big money stealing away from Audi, the performance tuner who Hyundai stole away from BMW. So why would I want to buy a Hyundai that doesn't have Hyundai's name?
The Palisade for sure. The suspension dampeners have been adjusted that further remove micro vibrations, and also, the cruise control is smoother in traffic due to transmission adjustments..!!
I just got my Calligraphy 2 weeks ago and I'm absolutely lovin it! I had a 2021 Sonata Limited before which is the same exact car, just smaller so I'm very familiar with the tech😁👍
Just decide on looks. The Telluride is better, but they need to bring back the ambers.
I pick the Palisade for the grill in the front, power message seats, 3rd-row heating, 20"wheels, 3 yrs complimentary, additional leather on door trim, center pass-through, power-folding on 3rd row, comfortable seating.
I purchased the 2023 Hyundai Palisade. Only thing I miss is the power folding side mirrors from my previous vehicle. Otherwise this car is amazing!
Excellent head-to-head comparison!!! Thank you...
Thanks for watching!
I really the look and feel of Palisade. It looks more luxurious, and sophisticated. I'm definitely going to buy the 2023 on my birthday (April 2023).
You deserve it 🎉
Really wish the Palisade's front seats had the lowering elbow wrests because with no stick to sit your hand on and only having push button I hate my right hand tangling with nothing to do.
Trying to decide which vehicle to order to replace my 2019 Mazda CX-9. I need more cargo room, a taller rear hatch and self-locking doors that really work. If I hit my head on the CX-9 tailgate ONE more time when it's open, I'll be too concussed to decide. This video both helped and added in some "which one to buy" confusion at the same time. I was solid Telluride before I saw this video, now I'm not so sure. I'll figure it out - thanks for an awesome and well-done comparative video!
PS - Despite my Telluride leanings, today I located a 2023 Palisade Calligraphy in transit at a local dealer. It's the only available vehicle of this make/model within 100 miles. Should be here December 18, 2022. The dealer said order time for the Telluride and Palisade is 5-7 months depending on features. Your video really helped! Cheers! Tommy B.
Mark-up over MSRP on Kia is ridiculous. I am going with the Palisade. If you go for the upper end model of each then you will get a better deal with the Hyundai. You get more for your money at the lower end models by going with the Kia. But if you want all the cool options without the insane mark-up I'd take the Hyundai. Palisade has a more comfortable and beautiful interior. While I prefer the the way exterior on the Telluride I intend on spending more time driving the car then looking at it from the outside, so again Hyundai wins.
They have the same or more mark ups on the palisade as well.
We have 2-3 k markup for the palisade in the ny/nj area. There is a 10k markup for the telluride in the same area.
You can get MSRP-u just have to wait
Yesss telluride markups are out of control. The 2023 telluride S is the same price as the palisade calligraphy. I so badly wanted the telluride but I won’t pay more for a lower trim that cost the same as a higher one
Hi Car Confections Can You Make A Comparison 2022 Mercedes GLS 450 4Matic Vs 2023 BMW X7 40i M-Sport!
@@chezzyperson3339 Thank You🚗
Yes, we likely will soon 👍
This was such a helpful review for a Mom trying to decide between the two!!
Glad we could help!
Which one will you choose?
WELL I THINK THE HYUNDIA IS GREAT SO IS THE KIA BEAUTIFUL AWESOME CARS GREAT VIDEO LIKE IT LOVE IT
Both are good looking vehicles with luxury interior packages; however, I have to give the nod to the Palisade b/c of the additional features like the power rear seat, auto trunk opener, smart park, exterior front grill, 20” tires, rear seat heating, electronic gear shift, and the apparent next level luxury feel which is going to rival Lexus (which I have now, but looking for new suv), BMW, Mercedes, and almost Range Rover status. Now, the Hyundai brand may never equal Mercedes, BMW, and Range Rover; but those vehicles are about a 1.5X-2X cost. Either way, a Telluride or Palisade is a nice car. Oh, when will their EV versions come out ? Just curious
Been waiting for your comparisons to the 2023, thank you!!!
Excellent, This is what I was waiting for. but it gotta be the Palisade. It stands out.
Palisade hands down imo.
I have a couple of reasons I don't like the Kia telluride.
1. There has been evidence that supports claims that they catch fire for the wiring harness connected to the tow hitch. Unless you want the possibility of your Kia telluride to go up in flames .
2. A lot of Kia telluride owners complain about the headlights not bringing bright enough especially the factory LEDs. That's why my 2016 Nissan Sentra had the halogens replaced with aftermarket LED. Disclaimer.. make sure you check before doing this so it's not void your warranty.
3. Yeah it has one of the best warranties out there. However pay attention to the word limited. What that means is that just because it's a bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty doesn't mean it covers everything only limited items. Unlike my Nissan brand which is unlimited.
4. Lack of Anti-Theft technology. You can have the fanciest, flashiest, and high technology car you want. However it means nothing if it gets stolen. My 2016 Nissan Sentra came standard with intelligent key, immobilization system, locking steering wheel, and push button start. With the Kia telluride you only get push button on the higher trims.
5. Kia is the child of Hyundai. Kia and Hyundai engines are known to have transmission problems within the first 50,000 miles.
I like telluride better, but I like palisade electronic shifter that provides more space in the front. Also, sad kia removed amber lights and telluride naming in the front.
I think we can all agree that kia and hyundai did a good job on tech but needs to update their engines id like to see something new just like how toyota is doing with the highlander
Good comparison!!
Thanks! 😁
I've read about a lot of troublesome problems with the Telluride within the first 30,000 miles (engine oil, a rear drive coupling, electrical, computer, and even sunroof and windshield glass issues) Since they are so similar, Does the Palisade have these same issues ?
It does not. Very few stories of Palisades messing up like the Telluride
Both are great but I'd still choose Telluride.
This particular Palisade looks better than this particular Telluride. That can change depending how one options each. You can't go wrong with either one.
If only they offered it with a hybrid. I had to go for a 2023 Sorento Prestige Hybrid. I would have much preferred the Telluride
I work at a Kia Dealer and I’m surprised that you were able to find that trim!
Because of your Video We are going to Buy the Hyundai Palisade Caligraphy
Glad we could help!
I am gonna to buy a preowned P or T (2020-2022), which one is recommended? (around $30,000 cost)
One more thing to add for the Palisade is the HTRAC system - Comfort, Smart, Eco, Sport & Normal. If you put the Palisade in Sport mode, you'll see a much higher acceleration, power and sound.
The telluride has those same modes
The exterior styling is getting better, less weird. I would shop these.
why are these more loaded than an escalade platinum?
You're one of the best reviews. Thanks
Thank you!
Great, detailed comparison! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Telluride is more crossover 👍👍...and rock n roll 😁😁
Hands down palisade. Power folding and heated third row seats + driver massage can't beat...
thanks for the side by side review, I have been strategically planning on what I needed, I even consider Kia Carnival SX prestige with VIP seats, my thought is that during winter, I can take my truck 4x4 to places for some time off with family, at the same time I need a summer vehicle road trip. I cant put weather sensitive items on my truck bed during summer, then if I am buying an SUV, at least be AWD, but the price is out of my budget, so I considering the kia carnival sx prestige as my summer get away vehicle. I haven't decided yet, now it is between carnival or FWD calligraphy which van is a tad bit lower on price, but I really like the palisade massage chair and features. or i'll just wait next year and buy a used 2023 calligraphy
Palisade for me. The build quality and overall design is almost perfect.
No offense, but I didn't used to be a big fan of your Channel, but I think you do a great job with your car comparisons I've watched other channels comparisons and they just have the two cars that they're comparing next to each other and they just go through the stuff but you talk about what the car has to offer and then say which one does better at what and give them points accordingly😊
Also I love how you show all of the light patterns like the blinkers and reverse lights.
And you cover everything oh, I was worried you wouldn't stay saying about the massaging seats in the Palisade but you did.
I do wish you played the same song for each car.
Great, thanks! We appreciate the feedback 👍
Had my telluride for bout 3 months now , after researching both of course. I traded my stinger for the 23 telluride an Haven't drove my GL 550 since! Lol
can someone tell/share the real life Miles Per Gallon of Palisade and Telluride? When the manufacturer says 19, I suspect you have to take at least 15% off from the paper number. My 2022 Lexus RX350 says 20 MPG on paper, the real life MPG in city is about 15, I am not crazy driving at all. Searched on Internet, the number varies hugely, some people said they got about 44MPG (90% highway, 10% city), some said they got 12-17MPG in the city. I am more concerned on the in city MPG.
I get 19mpg in my palisade. if I drive only highway, then it’s around 20.5-21
The best side by side style comparisons I’ve ever seen until now. You guys are the best ..! 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
DamN !!! This palisade is a bombshell 💥💎
We bought the 2023 KIA SX Prestige and if I could find one complaint I wish it had wireless Apple Carplay. Everything else is great! By the way we traded a Cadillac and believe that the Telluride is quieter and rides at least as good.
buy a wireless dongle
How do the crash ratings and aftermarket values compare? That’s definitely something to consider when trying to chose between them.
Identical, Sarah.
Great video! Need more like this.
Thanks! Will do 👍
Wath about of the size of TURNING DIAMETER CIRCLE .... ?
Need to much space or is ease to turn in a regular street ...?
I hope you do a comparison like this between the new 2023/24 Honda Pilot Elite and the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Hybrid Limited or Platinum. This is a very good comparison. Please add the outer dimensions as well. Length, width, height. That would be helpful to see how it fits in tight spaces.
Thanks! We're planning on it once Grand Highlander is released
Absolutely perfect comparison video! This is amazing.
Thanks!
A real man will choose a Telluride. 💪
I wish Hyundai made the Calligraphy addition with black rims and black grille. I literally would be at the dealership right now pleading an order. 😊
You’re in luck; they’ve made one with black grille and black wheels for 2023
@@kamyastudios he said calligraphy addition.
@@kamyastudios Really? I have been waiting for months on an order of the Rivian Truck and I am just tired of waiting. I will check it out.
Thanks
I know I'm a little late to this conversation, but the Limited has most of the major stuff that's on the Calligraphy, but with the black grille. I was planning to get a Limited, but liked that big old chrome grille on the Calligraphy. I got the same color as the one in this video, Typhoon Silver. I guess I'm old school because those wheels, that grille and the full length brake light on the back got me. I didn't need a vehicle that could park in tight spaces by itself, though. I'll walk to the back of the parking lot for a big "non-door dinging" space first. I guess moving it back and forth with the remote will be entertainment for my friends. Every model except the Calligraphy has a black grille in 2023.
You left out the fact the Telluride has more color options, more trim options, and a option for rear seat entertainment, and better towing and self leveling suspension that the Palisade doesn't have.
Does the Telluride have a puddle light like the Palisade or just a light in the handle that illuminates when you approach?
The Palisade is really nice but because i'm 30 years old, I went with the Telluride because it has a "younger person" look. The Hyundai externally looked too "soccer mom" for me.
I like the off road look to the telluride, so that would be my choice
My pet peeve is gloss piano black.. which is in most Kia's 🤦🏾♂️
Biggest gripe is can't get the black grill in the calligraphy. That would literally make it perfect.
Try the Palisade Limited trim. It has a black grill. It's almost the same as the Calligraphy features wise with only a few differences.
Excellent comparison!😸
Nice suvs. I see the video maker does not consider subaru ascent as part of the competition. I am curious why? I'm debating between these 3. Can you compare the awd systems for the telluride the palisade and the subaru ascent? How do they compare in safety? And 3rd row space and leg room? Thanks
Subaru is not a sister company.
@@josephs8364 I thought he mentioned other competitors of the telluride and palisade in the video. Were the other vehicles part of the sister company?
There's alot of good from all 3 of those vehicles.
The ascent has a really sharp look and the safety features of a Subaru make it a very good car for the family if you live somewhere that has bad weather or terrain. The eyesight is the biggest plus to it. Here is a quick look at one that spells out the benefits
ruclips.net/video/RprGgGOOvXE/видео.html
The Telluride versus the Pallisade is really where I think the battle for the best SUV is. Both have alot of great features, but nothing feels as great as the styling of the Telluride.
ruclips.net/video/SUY4EgyNTcM/видео.html
I think if you are aiming for a family SUV, the Kia Telluride wins.
ruclips.net/video/spn9tUgytp8/видео.html
Test drove a Ascent and liked how it handled, but it looked just like all the other Subaru products. I have to look twice to tell it from an Outback. Also, it has a Turbo 4 cyl. and I wanted a V6. Not as roomy as these two and just didn't excite me. Lastly, that has been Subaru's least reliable vehicle for some reason.
I love both of these vehicles but they both where so over priced with all the add-ons if you wanted great features.
So I chose the new 2023 Nissan Pathfinder. It had great features even a panoramic sunroof and lane assistance 360 camera around vehicle, leather interior premium Bose sound system and much more for $1000's less.
Hi. You said you are getting a massage. Do the seats vibrate and are you calling that a massage or are there mechanisms protruding from the seats massaging you?
Pallisade, hands down
The only drawback of these cars is that the captain chairs in higher trims make them a 6 seater instead of a 7 or 8 seater.
At least they should have given an option of having a connected bench in the second row of higher trims.
Thank you for such a comprehensive review of the 2 SUVs we are considering. We are leaning towards Hyundai Palisade just because it looks more luxurious !
Our pleasure! Good luck deciding!
Hey Bud what are you filming with?
Sony AX-53 and GoPro Hero 9
2022 Telluride Win vs 2022 Pailisade, 2023 Palisade Win vs 2023 Telluride
I wanted the telluride but with the dealer mark ups I can get the calligraphy for cheaper.
If only the palisade didn’t look like a hearse
Both look great, but l would definitely choose the Telluride..
I love both of them
They messed up the headlights of the Telluride. They looked better on the prefacelift.
Nice comparison I would rather pick the telluride because of how it looks and how popular suv it is in the market.
Thanks!
