  There are plenty of reasons to like both the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, but the new hybrid powertrain they share takes them to another level. It&apos;s still splitting hairs to pick between this duo, but which one do you prefer? The futuristic and rugged Telluride or the classy and luxurious Palisade? Let us know in the comments below!<br><br>***Since we filmed this video, Hyundai has issued a stop-sale and recall for the 2026 Palisade Limited and Calligraphy trims. If you own one of these vehicles, please contact your dealer. The safety concern relates to vehicles fitted with second- and third-row power seats. While our example here was a recalled trim level, other Palisade trims are unaffected by the current recall.

  Kia exterior and Hyundai interior would be a winner.

  Both SUVs are great - at the top of their class. However, it is interesting to note that the 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid comes with a space-saver spare tire while the 2027 Hyundai Palisade Hybrid only comes with a tire inflator kit - no spare tire - Hmmm!.

  I love Edmunds Cars Reviews. They are very objective and fun<br>I&apos;m really tired of other reviews from many pedantic, narcissistic car journalists complaining about family SUVs, minivans, and cars not driving like a Corvette<br>Complaining that the engine loses power after 6000rpm. Are they dreaming of being an F1 driver, Lewis Hamilton?<br>I purchased a minivan in January, and I was impressed that all the pros and cons Edmunds Cars mentioned was 100% accurate<br>I like Edmunds Cars because it does the reviews by category, unbiased, &quot;objectively&quot;, and from the future buyer/owner point of view<br>Thank you..!! &nbsp;I really enjoy your reviews

  My wife test drove the Palisade after watching the other video you guys put out ranking basically all midsize SUVs—she didn’t want to drive anything else afterward. The original plan was to drive a Telluride and Grand Highlander too but the Palisade stole her heart immediately

  This is the first video I&apos;ve watched where they actually tested rear cargo space, behind the 3rd row, using actual cargo rather than spitting out the cubic feet specs; which was very helpful! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4silUXw9Fig&amp;t=454">7:34</a>

  First time Hyundai owner....I have had my Calligraphy hybrid for only 1 month but have been seriously impressed with this vehicle. Mine is emerald with the brown interior and the build quality overall is top notch. I do like the front end of the Telluride a bit better but I definitely prefer the Palisade interior. I would have liked to have the power adjust steering wheel (available in the Telluride) but otherwise all is good. Great job on the comparison between the two. I&apos;m guessing that new Telluride is going to be a strong seller for KIA.

  This is an awesome way to show the differences. It helps to split hairs because they’re so similar. Exactly what I needed to make a decision
