2023 Hyundai Palisade Vs. 2022 Kia Telluride – What to Consider

If you are looking for a spacious and feature-filled SUV, consider the 2023 Hyundai Palisade and the 2022 Kia Telluride. While either model is an excellent option, a closer comparison shows that the Palisade pulls ahead.

Similar Powertrains and Capabilities

In terms of performance, the 2023 Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride are nearly identical. They both run on a 3.8-liter V-6 that generates 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Either can also tow 5,000 pounds and offers AWD.

Even the fuel efficiency of the models is neck-and-neck. The Palisade gets 22 mpg combined with FWD and 21 mpg combined with AWD. The Telluride gets 23 and 21 mpg combined, respectively. That difference is negligible, especially when you break down the numbers. The Palisade gets 1 mpg more than the Telluride with highway driving (whether you choose FWD or AWD). The Telluride with FWD gets 1 mpg better in the city. They tie for city mpg with AWD.

Similar Interior Space With a Few Differences

The interior of the 2023 Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride is also incredibly similar. The Telluride has 87 cubic feet for cargo, while the Palisade is only 0.6 behind at 86.4 cubic feet. Few people will notice a difference. One area where you may notice a difference is the front seat legroom. The Telluride only has 41.4 inches, while the Palisade has 44.1 inches. Most other dimensions are neck-and-neck.

The Palisade Feels More Upscale

While most comparisons between the Palisade and Telluride will show the two models being similar, you also want to consider the interior feel. While both are filled with features, the Palisade feels a bit more upscale. For example, the Ergo driver’s seat reduces fatigue during long drives. Or the available full-display digital center rearview mirror lets you easily see what’s behind you.

Comparing Warranties

The warranty on the 2023 Hyundai Palisade increases that SUV’s lead. The Hyundai warranty is easily one of the best in the industry, and a few key parts set it apart from the Telluride. Both warranties include roadside assistance for five years. But the Telluride restricts that coverage to 60,000 miles while the Palisade has coverage for unlimited miles.

The Hyundai warranty advantage also extends to the anti-perforation coverage. The Kia Telluride has coverage for a respectable 100,000 miles or five years. But the Hyundai Palisade covers anti-perforation for unlimited miles and seven years.
