You asked for it, here it is. Your favorite? One point: when I said the 2020 model doesn't change from the 2019, my point was, the Telluride sold in 2019 it is the same as the one that is currently sold in 2020. They never made a 2019 model although it was sold in 2019....thanks.

Telluride is definitely the better daily driver, and with a 10 year powertrain warranty, not much to worry about for many years to come.

@@danguelph2676 They have been out for OVER a month now. I test drove a 2020 Highlander over 3 weeks ago, and then test drove the Telluride back to back, right after that. For me, the Telluride is MILLION TIMES better than the Highlander, and I am an TOYOTA LOYALIST because of the reliability, durability and longevity of TOYOTAS. For me the 2 most important factors, in that order, are: Reliability , durability and longevity (MOST important) Refinement and quietness of the engine, and SOFT ride - comfort (2nd most important). The Highlander had a NOISY AND UNREFINED engine that sounded terrible, even at low to moderate RPMs. There was that *engine drone.* The Telluride engine was *DEAD QUIET,* and I could not hear the engine even close to 4000 RPM, when I had pressed the gas pedal. The ride comfort (softness) was about the same with both vehicles (Telluride with 18 inch wheels). So, it's a big dilemma. I want the LONG-TERM reliability of the Toyota, as I know the Telluride will not be anywhere near as reliable or durable as the Highlander, but want the REFINEMENT, QUIETNESS and COMFORT of the Telluride. And I keep my vehicle for at least 10 years!! Right now I can't make up my mind. EMOTIONALLY, I want the Telluride, but I also know the RATIONAL choice would be the Highlander. Sometimes, I feel, damn everything, you have one life to live. Get what you enjoy the most (Telluride). But then again, a car that might leave you stranded on the side of the road, is also not "giving you what you want." It is also a great feeling to know every time you put the key in your car it will start, as reliably as the sun that rises every morning!!

Will prefer Highlander for sure

We came down to a Palisade and a Highlander. We keep our vehicles for a long time, so it became an easy decision for us. Kia and Hyundai have come a long way, but Toyota’s reliability is real. We love our new Highlander.

About time mate! This is so awesome. You hard work will pay out soon. Just amazing comparisons.

I really dig the blacked out Highalnder window trim! Highlander looks a bit more elegant, but Telluride looks so good from rear too.

I like the looks of the telluride better, but I sat in both and I went with the highlander. After sitting in both you can definitely tell the difference between the quality of both. Everything in the telluride is super cheap plastic that has that hollow feeling, where the highlander might have plastic in it as well, but it is very solid feeling.

Just bought Telluride this week, had 2019 Mercedes. So impressed with this Kia

I like Toyota’s, but only their large suvs, I like Lexus, I have a Lexus car. I am partial to the Honda Pilot which was last suv that I purchased in 2006, it still runs great, but recently I purchased a Telluride which I am very happy with.

Sam, thank you for your candor. I test drove the 2020 Highlander XLE and was pleasantly surprised. The ride was smooth, quiet and very comfortable. I was able to get into a comfortable driving position quickly, which is interesting because I generally have to fiddle around with most cars - it took me less than a minute with the Highlander. I've driven both the Palisade and Telluride and as impressive as they are, the Highlander just feels a little more planted and sound - yes I know it's a tad smaller. Lastly, the fuel economy on the soon coming hybrid has no real competition in that segment and you can't beat Toyota quality. In the end, as one of the commenters mentioned, it's good to have options and this is a pretty crowded segment.

I have KIA soul 140k on it and only break job so far. My Hyundai Sonata 180k just now replaced rear break pads. That's it no more issues. Kia and Hyundai these days are the most reliable cars with best warranty period.

KIA sucks TOYOTAwins

The Kia Telluride is the best 3 row seating for auto reviewers, but buyers will go for the Toyota Highlander. Buyers of this class of SUV don't give a fuck about design, fancy tech, et. They care most about reliability, comfort, resale value, dependability, built quality, and Toyota made.

I am now 15 minutes into the video and I have yet to see why the Highlander has taken down the Telluride. As a matter of fact it's getting smoked at this point. I will keep going.

"or has it?" There is that at the end for a reason.

Your review is fair and has good details. At the end of the day, I think the audience tend follow what they already have in their mind. My experience is that the minor differences that you see when both cars are brand new will be more obvious and widen after about 5 years. I keep all my cars way pass 10 years and give them to my relatives. Kia tends to show more small broken things here and there after 5 years which I don't see at Toyota until after 10 yrs and 150K miles. Then, I realized I would rather spend 3 or even 5 more grands upfront for a very good old car after 10 yrs than paying less at the beginning and then owning a headache (or, not having peace of mind) later. To sum up, all my cars for the last 7 years have been Toyotas for their reliability and quietness. Well, I still own a 2004 Acura MDX. It's 200,000 miles and still running like a dream and quiet.

how about you do another review on the same cars 10 years/150k miles from now?

That doesn't make any sense since Kia's warranty is 10 years. You need to change your question to 20 years from now.

You forgot to mention the amazing gas mileage Toyota squeezed out of the Highlander.... that’s a pretty important factor!!!

again.. not the best gas milage our of Koerean's car, and bit weak for acceleration.. but to me, if Telluride has the same low level of noise, I'd probably like more Telluride being more into space having minivan...

Jeez, both seem amazing but idk if the Kia is lasting 500k miles like Toyotas do, if it does I'd probably go for it instead of the Highlander, liked more overall.

The Kia will not come anywhere close to the reliability or longevity of the Toyota. But the Kia is far superior in its refinement (especially the refinement of the ENGINE) than the Highlander which is UNREFINED AND NOISY. If you want your money's worth and keep a car long-term (and can live with the noisy engine of the Highlander), then TOYOTA is the way to go!!

Is it possible we can push dealers here in BC Canada to get black wheels on Telluride ? Just like its available in states

I was just about to google that, what color wheels the SX comes with. I am waiting for mine but I guess I will have them painted for about 650 bucks

Looked at both recently … came out with a 2021 Toyota Highlander (Platinum trim) I have Kia in the past, with no problems at all!! I just got a better deal on the Highlander

The Telluride simply crushes the Highlander in virtually all categories.

For me it all comes down to the fuel economy. The 35 mpg of the hybrid highlander is hard to say no to. My wife and I like the looks of the telluride much better but ultimately decided on the highlander hybrid platinum. Will be here in two months. Can't wait!

We shall see what Consumer Reports comes out with. They have been ranking the Subaru Ascent as the top 3 row SUV. Surpassing Highlander last year.

I will make a comparison Subaru vs Toyota

Funny how in the states Kia/Hyundai are considered budget and come in thousands cheaper. Yet in Canada, the Kia is more expensive than the Highlander. They'd have a real hard time selling the Telluride if USA pricing was like that.

I wouldn’t trust Korean made especially Kia and Hyundai quality as I seen and heard of people with massive complaints blown engine failures and also rebuilt engines as their quality is very cheap compared to Toyota which is more reliable less repairs higher and better resale value even Kia and Hyundai’s resale value is worse than Honda. No wonder why I see lots at service center lol 😂

Kia teluride looks better.

Kimberly Little it may look better but the Highlander is safer and more reliable than that junk Kia and plus Kia has a recall on that for blowing up so do you want a junky piece of TNT with a good looking wrap

Is it the camera angle or does the Telluride look a lot bigger than the Highlander?

Maybe the telluride is a bit more spacious. Which is good so you are not uncomfortable waiting for AAA
