The 2021 Kia Telluride vs. the 2021 Hyundai Palisade: Which SUV gives you better value for money?
The chassis may be the same but the bodywork of these two vehicles is quite different. Aside from the cavernous grille of the Palisade and the cool orange daytime running lights of the Telluride, there’s a more angled slope to the rear hatch of the Telluride that takes away from its boxiness. As well, the windows of the third row are more forward in the Kia, which makes it all seem a little more integrated. My money’s on the Telluride, but your money is your own.
The whole effect seems simpler and more airy with the Palisade, which also features diamond-shaped stitching in the leather on its doors. In contrast, the Kia feels a little chunkier. I like the extra cubby space it offers in the centre console, as well as the grips on each of the console’s sides, but everything’s a little more busy and the drive itself seemed noisier. Drivers of these vehicles, with seats for all those kids in the back, probably need all the relaxation they can get.
Perhaps this is why the Telluride has a slightly less efficient fuel consumption rating than the Palisade, ranked by the Canadian government at an average consumption of 11.3 L/100 km compared to 11.1. Highway consumption is almost the same, but it’s the more thirsty city consumption that makes the difference. For some reason, Kia doesn’t disclose a curb weight for the Telluride’s high-end SX Limited or Nightsky editions, to compare it to the Hyundai’s curb weight of 2,022 kg.
