Compare Hyundai Palisade vs. Kia Telluride

No matter which model you choose to bring home, you can expect to command the Epping roads ahead with the same powerful engine. Both the Palisade and the Telluride utilize an impressive 3.8-liter V6 engine that makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Although front-wheel drive comes standard, these SUVs can be equipped with all-wheel-drive capability to make you feel more confident in poor conditions. You'll also enjoy smooth and precise shifting with an eight-speed automatic transmission. However, the Hyundai Palisade stands out with its more responsive steering and smooth ride quality, making every journey more relaxing and enjoyable.

If your lifestyle demands maximum passenger and cargo space, these SUVs are up for the task. Each model provides three spacious rows with seating for up to eight passengers, making your family's morning Portsmouth commutes and long road trips more comfortable and convenient. The standard second-row bench seat can be swapped for a set of luxurious captain's chairs for a more versatile configuration. However, the Palisade edges out the competition with a convenient power-folding third-row seat.

As you explore each model, you'll find soft-touch materials, a driver-focused design, and luxurious trim levels offering high-end amenities, including leather upholstery and heated and ventilated first and second-row seats. When it comes to storing your groceries, camping gear, or luggage, both models offer generous cargo space and folding second- and third-row seats.
