Hyundai Palisade vs. Kia Telluride

Sizing Up Your SUV 

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade and the 2022 Kia Telluride are large in stature, and physically they share nearly identical dimensions. 

While their dimensions often indicate how much space they allow in their cabins, they can also speak to how they handle on the road. Since both models are sized similarly, you can expect similar handling in either SUV.  

Towing Like a Pro 

Many drivers like to use their SUVs to lug around heavy objects, and these two SUVs are more than capable of handling their own in that department: They both offer a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. 

While towing heavy objects, SUVs can be subject to trailer sway, a phenomenon that occurs when extreme side forces cause the back trailer to rock from side to side. All this movement can lead to turbulence and discomfort for vehicle occupants.  

To combat this, the Hyundai Palisade offers standard Trailer Sway Control, which firmly stabilizes the frame. This greatly reduces the side-to-side movement, making the ride smoother for everyone. The Kia Telluride might be able to tow a lot of weight, but it does not offer any function like this one.  

Room for Your Crew and Cargo 

Like many SUV shoppers, you’re probably looking for a full-size option with plenty of interior space. The Hyundai Palisade and the Kia Telluride are versatile options, offering lots of dedicated room for both passengers and cargo.   

The Palisade and the Telluride each have the option for eight seats. They also provide similar cargo measurements, with over 86 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the front seats in each vehicle.  

Stretch Out in Your SUV 

The biggest difference between the interiors of these SUVs stems from their additional interior measurements. The Hyundai Palisade comes with 44.1 inches of front legroom, whereas the Kia Telluride only offers 41.4 inches of front legroom. If legroom is a top selling point for you, choosing the Hyundai Palisade is the smart choice.
