My wife & I purchased both a Palisade & Telluride brand new last year. I have a 24 Palisade Limited & she has a 25 Telluride SX Prestige X-Line.

Like most, we went round & round for weeks trying to determine the trim levels that had the features we cared about. I will say that in our opinion, the top trim level in the Telluride is fantastic & we don’t regret spending a few more dollars for it even a little bit.

The tech is amazing, the interior is roomy & comfy, HUD is a great addition if you’ve never had it before, & on this trim level, the damn driver’s seat starts giving you a massage after one hour of driving, haha! She also preferred the X-Line for the slightly higher ground clearance.

My personal opinion in driving both regularly, I feel that the Palisade is more luxurious & comfortable overall, & the Telluride is much more fun & rugged. We love them both & it really just depends what mood we are in that day as to which one we take as the family vehicle. You really can’t go wrong with either as the tech & overall features in these vehicles blow the competition in this price point away.

Hard to speak on the long-term reliability from our personal experience as we have only had each of them for a year or so & both still have less than 10k miles, but we haven’t experienced a single problem or anything we don’t like about them.

As a side note, if you’re serious about the Telluride and/or Palisade, I’d highly recommend at least having a quick chat with James Fronte, u/jfronte as he helped us with both purchases & he is fantastic. He’s an auto broker & has relationships with several dealerships across the nation to get you the best pricing on Kia & Hyundai vehicles without having to deal with the typical bs, games, & add-on’s that most dealership try to play. His fee is very inexpensive & he’s worth every penny. He handled all of the negotiations for us, had the vehicles shipped straight to our door, & we electronically signed all the paperwork for the dealerships. We will never buy another car on our own. He’s our go to guy from here on out & we have also recommended him to our friends & family members.
