I’ve watched multiple reviews on this vehicle to try and make up my mind, but Alex’s is the one I’ve been waiting for!

It goes largely without saying that the Palisade and Telluride have raised the bar in the larger midsize crossover category. Unless one has a priority not shared by most consumers such as outstanding substantial towing (Durango), outstanding fuel economy (Highlander Hybrid), scalding performance (Explorer ST), ease of managing multiple child seats (Atlas), canyon carving in a 16.5' long crossover (CX-9), or simply brand loyalty, it's difficult to justify an alternative. And for each of those alternatives a consumer will pay more (sometimes MUCH more) to realize them. As far as the Palisade versus the Telluride is concerned, there are few differences. Alex mentioned one key difference; the Palisade is built in Korea while the Telluride is built in West Point, Georgia. What he didn't mention was that the two vehicles are aimed at different national markets and compete with different rivals in those markets. The Telluride is aimed squarely at the mainstream 3 row crossover market in North America. It's not even sold in Korea or most other Asian and European markets. It has a "rugged" vibe that is so appealing to American consumers. The Palisade, on the other hand, is designed to compete with large luxury crossovers outside North America such as MB, Audi, BMW, and Volvo. In those markets what Americans call large "mainstream" three row vehicles are rare or non-existent. Thus, the Palisade emits a budget "luxury" vibe that's especially appealing to the growing middle class consumers in Asia, especially in the 800 lb gorilla market in China. (The Palisade is not yet for sale in China but Hyundai clearly wants to break into that market.) Personally, I prefer the somewhat simpler and less complicated looks of the Telluride. Hyundai's design language in most of their vehicles strikes me as somewhat "overstyled" with a few too many creases and bulges. Hyundai seems to think that quilted interior materials suggests "luxury" but it reminds me of my grandmother's sofa from 50 years ago. Obviously, others will differ. Beyond that, there are a couple of differences that would make a difference for me. The Palisade's headlights are located just above the lower edge of fascia. In the Telluride they're placed in a more conventional spot near the top of the fenders. Here in the Pacific NW we suffer from rocks and gravel coming down when the mountains in the Spring thaw. Headlights placed just above the bumper are far more vulnerable to those annoying little missiles thrown from vehicles ahead. It's bad enough to replace a windshield every year or two; headlights sitting 18" or so above the road are even worse. Secondly, one difference between the two vehicles is the Palisade's motorized third row seat backs that can be raised or lowered with a button. Frankly, it's so slow it makes watching paint dry seem like an active sport. And since I don't have arms like a T-Rex I find the much simpler push/pull action of the straps in the Telluride a superior solution. Further, the motorized system in the Hyundai results in the loss of about 3 cubic ft of cargo space behind the third row. The Telluride's 21 cf ranks near the top of the category; the Palisade's 18" cf is only a bit over average.

Audi was 31st, with 225, and BMW was 19th, with 176. Kia, Genesis and Hyundai were in the top ten, while all the German makes, aside from VW, were below the industry average. As for Toyota, they ranked 21st with 177 problems per 100 vehicles. Kia and Hyundai Group have hired German designers and engineers to make their cars the best in class, and they're working on doing just that. They have stated many times that they want German design with Japanese reliability. Anyone saying the Korean brands are crap is an opinion not supported with facts or objective reasoning.

Thank you for the comparision of the competitors at the end, very helpful.

I go with the Palisade. I've reached the point in life where my tush lust's for a softer ride with good road manners and that seems to be present in the Palisade in spades. The Telluride is unquestionably an equally good vehicle but my taste says Palisade. YMMV.

One of the best Hyundais I’ve ever driven and one of the best vehicles I’ve ever driven. Extremely comfortable, extremely quiet, capable engine with a great sound to it, and basically every luxury item you could ask for.

My Palisade Limited comes tomorrow Black and Beige so you lose that speckled black filler piece in the dash. Alex something you may want to look into is doing reviews, with the growth of LED lights and this digital dash and infotainment center is a night review. This Palisade comes with 64 different colors of ambient light ooozing out everywhere under the dash, from the doors, etc. Just stunning and something well thought out that should be shown off. I’m sure other manufacturers have some of this going on to...or they will soon! Love your reviews 👍🏻

You were absolutley right Alex! Looking at this review is one thing but I actually saw one on the dealer's lot and it was quite a bit smaller than I even suspected and that was a good thing in my view.

I expected to prefer the Telluride, as I slightly prefer the exterior styling, but the Palisade interior feels more special, if only slightly. They're both winners, especially given the brands' excellent reliability in recent years. Now we just need a good hybrid, and the CX-9's road manners.

Love the new graphics!!!

Look mom! New graphics! 😁 Great reviews as always.

Great review Alex! One game I play in your reviews is to guess what song will be on the Infortainment screen...I got Freddie Cannon's Palisade Park right! Thanks for the ego boost!

For my taste, I'd go with the Palisade. Along with the fact that after test driving both of them, I find the handling of the Palisade to be much more agile than the Teluride. In fact, I don't think it deviates all that much from the CX-9. The only complaint I have about the Palisade, really, is the automatic third-row, which is not necessary. I would exchange that for a bit more space like there is on the Teluride. Overall, I find it very hard to be the Palisade's proposition. My only problem is that my brother bought one, in the same color I wanted! Darn it!

Recently (two weeks ago) purchased a 2022 Palisade Calligraphy AWD: but there are still some areas for product improvement: add power folding exterior side mirrors, add sunglass holder in interior and add illumination for the overhead light buttons above driver and front passenger (the POI buttons are illuminated but the light buttons aren't, that's odd and an omission in form/function) and those rims on calligraphy trim are a bit 'loud', design something more classy the ones on current and previous Limited trim); and last but not least, consider adding hybrid powertrain as is offered on many other Hyundai products.

Even if they do, they are likely to price it up way more as they already price the Santa Fe at Highlanders etc.

The boxy looking Telluride is the best of the Korean twins though. Kian and Hyundai are sure raiding the bar when it comes to a SUV with usable 3rd row seats.

The Palisade is the easy winner to me. I had a 2013 Santa Fe XL and enjoyed it. Driving a Traverse now but may very well go back to Hyundai. I like the new Genesis GV80 but the price tag might be a little much. If demand comes down a bit prices may look better next year.

That's a fairly common problem but it's not universal. My KIA dealer has a policy that prohibits "market adjustment" second stickers on their vehicles. Unfortunately, of course, that means a much longer waiting list for customers of that particular dealership compared to others in the area. (Especially for top trim SX-PP versions.) Ironically, KIA encourages dealers NOT to add second stickers to their vehicles.But once a dealer purchases a vehicle KIA has no control over retail pricing. When the Telluride was introduced last year KIA planned to produce 41,000 vehicles in the first calendar year. That would have been a roaring success for the brand. However, in the first 11 months after introduction about 63,000 Tellurides were sold as a result of increases in production and massive demand. The supply of vehicles has settled down somewhat but demand continues to mean a wait of five months or more in my area.

I find it amusing that so many comments seem to believe KIA can control what their dealers charge for the vehicles sold to them by KIA. They cannot. With the exception of Tesla no manufacturer controls the retail price of their vehicles. No manufacturer wants to see "market adjustment" stickers on their cars; it's a black eye for the brand. In this particular case much of the blame lies with KIA dealers who under-ordered top trim Tellurides based on their historical experience that KIA customers are budget challenged and opt for mid or base level vehicles. When it turned out that dealers were seeing many customers who wanted top trim SX-PP versions, KIA had to scramble to reset their production plans.

Precisely why we bought the Palisade. I looked at the Telluride, having never seen a Palisade in person before. I saw the mark up on Tellurides, and decided to go look at the Palisade. I was very impressed, especially after driving one, and my local Hyundai dealer really wanted to deal on one also. I actually like it way more than the Telluride also now. It looks absolutely stunning in the hyper white (pearl) color. Very happy with it so far.

27mpg on the highway is great for such a big SUV, some full size sedans barely make that. This is awesome but I'd go for the more rugged looking Telluride. So many standard features even in the base trim. Add that 10yr/100k miles warranty and this is a winner. Telluride and Palisades are much cheaper than Ford Explorer, Chevy Traverse/Suburban, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Dodge Durango and Volkswagen Atlas.

You get what you pay for my friend. The Palisade has serious quality issues and even a class action lawsuit right now: Windshields cracking (current class action lawsuit against Hyundai over this), seats that smell bad, windshield wipers that stop working in the snow or heavy rain, grills with bubbling and chipping paint, and entire electronic dashes and infotainment screens that turn off. Even the AC/Heat units have gone bad. And this vehicle isn't even 2yrs old!

I like the telluride more. I think it looks sharper. I'd like too see a tow haul mode on these if you do decide too tow smaller things with them.

pulled my 1200lbs almost 9ft tall enclosed trailer decently at 70mph. had a strong head wind, and then side wind the entire trip.

Palisade has 3 years service warranty that include oil change, tire rotations and a three years blue tooth - wifi link. The SEL with 2 packages and some options is the way to go.

Is the US model a bit different from that in other markets? I recently watched another Palisade review where they had three LED lights in the headlight unit instead of the two in your review model. There was also a small daytime running light on the front bumper between the main DRL-cum-indicater lights and the headlight unit.

Yes, the US version of the Palisade is slightly different from the KDM version. The missing LED lights on the bottom of the light housing are the fog lights. US version of the Kia Telluride have LED fog lights, but not available on the US version of the Palisade.

Can you add a tow hitch to a 2013 Kia Sorento, and is it prewired?

I have a question. Between Hyundai Palisade, Kia Tellluride and Toyota Highlander which one was better about test drive, comfortable driving and driver seat?

Can you please review 2022 Palisade calligraphy and provide your objective view on other Luxury 3 row SUVs in that segment? Is it money well spent? I noticed calligraphy features outshines XC90

1:35 Did you make that pip frame with CSS?

you mention the durango when discussing seat functions but leave it out of the comparison chart. id think as a durango owner you would have added it

As of 03-11-2020, it's going to be the Palisade in the lead over the Telluride, unless and until I convince myself why having a third row is so important to me. Pre-teen Granddaughters you only see once or twice a year is a silly reason to obsess over an extra row of seats.

Great review..we went by the dealership today. Wicked SUV 🥰

@@Nightbird. My wife bought a sonata used from Carmax that was still under the 100,000-mile warranty (We got it with 42k), we drove that car everywhere back and forth to Orlando because our daughter plays travel soccer and most of the tournaments were played there. When the car's mileage got to about 98k we started to have engine problems. We took the car to Rick Case Hyundai here in South Florida, Their customer service was outstanding. They replaced the engine and gave us a loaner car a Kia soul (nice car really) We kept the car until 113k and traded it in for Kia Optima which runs great and is very comfortable. Same 100K warranty too :) Yes, some folks may have problems..it happens. And I have a Toyota Yaris 2007 with over 100K miles no problem yet...But I bought that new, go figure.

@@ambiencecalming5252 Glad you had a good experience. I myself inherited and own a Hyundai Sonata. I'm a Mercedes Benz S Class driver but figured I'd keep the Sonata for grocery store or other mundane trips since I don't want my expensive MB sedan getting dings in parking lots. The Sonata has been the most reliable car I have ever had. However..it is an 06 and incredibly simple mechanically and isn't full of all the electronics the Palisade is. And that's the problem with the Palisade. All of those neat electronics haven't been long term tested and are causing issues. Also another problem is good customer service isn't across the board with Hyundai dealerships. When my Sonata had an issue one dealer refused to give me a loaner while it was in the shop for a few days. But another dealer did..although it was the smaller and rougher Elantra which ended up hurting my back. And they wanted to charge me $800 for a repair that cost me $35 and less than an hour of my time to fix. So..I'm glad you had a good experience and lucked out with a good dealer and service center. But too many people are finding out the hard way that while Hyundai's warranty sounds wonderful..getting them to honor it and/or finding a dealer that will take care of you is sadly a totally different thing. And the Palisade isn't cheap like a Sonata..so it is inexcusable for spending that much money on a vehicle and not getting good warranty service.

It's a tough call. I like the exterior and interior designs of the telluride better, but I like the more luxurious feel and color tones better on the palisade. Sadly the fuel economy suffers compared to say the ever popular explorer (21/29 on the limited and under), but is a much cheaper ride. I just wish for 5 person families, they had a bench seat 2nd row on the top trims, which is a bit of a drawback

Very nice, just don't understand the directions of the tachometer and music trach toggle hhmm

Does the SEL comes with dual sunroof?

Does combined legroom include the third-row

Palisade. Most luxurious and comfortable. Reliability and warranty..

My concern is with regard to the drivetrain and engine layout. Not criticizing the palisade alone (Atlas). These are 3-row crossovers that are meant to carry more load and arguably some rough terrain as well. When these come in a front-wheel-drive biased layout, it torments the overall balance and handling of the vehicle. The engine choice of an N.A 3.8 V6 goog for the only for 290 hp and 260 lb-ft is less than adequate. Personally, I am not against NA engines but here they could have tune it to produce more torque at lower revs or could have used there in house 3.3 V6 GDI.

the motor is tuned towards real world efficiency, and most that I see in the owners group are beating the EPA rated numbers. it still has good passing power though and will hit triple digits faster then you would expect a 4500lbs family hauler to do so. the 3.3l TT will be used in the upcoming RWD Genesis GV80 but will be a 3.5l.

@@tylerhumpfer2493 got your point... To my untrained maind a big displacement with a rather lower power coupled with the fact that it wants propel a crossover this big, concerned me.

The best in the segment!

I plan on getting a new vehicle sometime in March/April 2021. When i started looking i was thinking the 2021 Ford Explorer because i do enjoy my Fords; however, i am really liking the new 2021 Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy edition and when you compare the price of the top end palisade Calligraphy and the top end Explorer Platinum you are looking at an $11,000 difference here in Canada and you get more with the Palisade. I think for the 1st time in over 20 years, Ford will lose me.

How does it compare to the Subaru ascent ? More interested in the trunk space with 3rd row up. That will determine if I should get it or not. Thanks

While I definitely prefer the Palisade to the Telluride I think I'll wait until its mid-cycle refresh and hope that they clean up that hot mess of a front fascia.

As a driver I like the 12 in instrument panel. You pay more attention to that than you do, or at least should the infotainment screen when driving. I do believe Hyundai left some things to be desired with such a beautiful big instrument panel, other than switching drive modes it is a little bland.
