While Hyundai and Kia are both South Korean automakers, their vehicles are not all the same. Hyundai models tend to be more stylish and tech-rich, while Kia cars and SUVs are generally more performance-focused. The Palisade is Hyundai's largest SUV, and it rides comfortably and is packed with rewarding standard features. The Kia Telluride is similar in size, but it's not as well-rounded as the Palisade. At Cooper Hyundai in Anniston, AL, we want you to be fully satisfied with your SUV, so we built the following comparison to help with your choice.
Refinement
The new Hyundai Palisade is available in seven trim levels, and each one is loaded with enjoyable amenities. The range-topping Palisade Calligraphy trim rivals many luxury vehicles, with Nappa leather upholstery, a synthetic suede headliner, and a one-touch relaxation mode for the first- and second-row seats that's wonderful after a long day's work in Oxford. The Kia Telluride comes in five trims. The Telluride's top-of-the-line SX Prestige trim also has premium leather seats, but it doesn't offer a relaxation mode.
More Tech for Your Money
You don't have to buy the highest Hyundai Palisade trim to enjoy leading-edge technology. Even the base model comes with tri-zone automatic climate control, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and a cabin intercom that allows Pell City drivers to speak to passengers in the back through the stereo speakers. The Telluride comes with dual-zone climate control and wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. An intercom system is available in the Telluride, but you must buy a higher trim to get it.
Passenger/Cargo Versatility
You'll have ample space to stow your luggage, shopping bags, or sports gear for activities in Jacksonville with the Hyundai Palisade. With all the rear seats folded down, it has 86.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Available power sliding and reclining third-row seats make it a breeze to access the cargo hold. The Telluride has 87 cubic feet of cargo space, but power sliding and reclining third-row seats are not available.
Test Drive a New Hyundai Palisade at Cooper Hyundai
While both the Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride are roomy, smooth-riding SUVs, the Palisade offers more standard amenities, including twice as many standard driver assistance features for more assurance on the bustling streets of Birmingham. To experience the Palisade for yourself, make the short drive from Gadsen to Cooper Hyundai in Anniston, AL. We'll be happy to show you the Palisade's many wonderful qualities and set you up with a test drive in the model of your choice.
