Inside, the Telluride is the roomier option. Most obviously, the Telluride has the bigger cargo hold, with 21 cubic feet behind the rear seats. When you look behind the Palisade’s liftgate, you’ll find 18 cubic feet of cargo space. For families who don’t want to have to leave their favorite outdoor gear behind, the Telluride is the better option.
When it comes to passenger space, the Telluride and Palisade are very similar! Both models provide supportive comfort in all three rows, no matter how much time you plan to spend on the road! And these SUVs keep you comfy, with standard features like dual-zone automatic climate control (though the Telluride also throws in rear-passenger automatic climate control). Their infotainment systems are virtually identical, too, with standard 12.3-inch touchscreens, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, and built-in navigation.
Sporty Performance: 2024 Kia Telluride
When you take a peek under these SUVs’ hoods, the corporate relationship between the Kia and Hyundai becomes especially apparent. Both the 2024 Telluride and Palisade feature the same powertrain:
- 3.5L V6 engine (219 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque)
- Eight-speed automatic transmission
- Front-wheel drive
- Optional all-wheel drive
However, with the available X-Pro upgrades, the Telluride is the more capable option, with a max tow rating of 5,500 pounds. The Palisade can only tow up to 5,000 pounds.
The Telluride also offers special trim models (the X-Line and X-Pro) designed to improve off-road performance. These models deliver trail-friendly upgrades like all-wheel drive, extra ground clearance, and all-terrain tires. Although the Palisade offers all-wheel drive, it doesn’t provide the kind of gear you’d need to travel through truly rugged terrain.
Exterior Style: It’s a Tie!
Although we must admit that we’re partial to the Telluride’s unique exterior styling, we can see how drivers could be attracted to either SUV, depending on personal taste. There’s no other SUV that looks quite like the Telluride, with its rectangular headlamps, ear-to-ear grille, and aggressive stance.
The Palisade has classic good looks, turning heads with a longer grille and sleek LED signature headlamps. Compared to the Telluride’s rugged exterior, the Palisade looks more like a luxury SUV.
Your New Three-Row SUV
These three-row crossovers have a ton of features in common, so choosing the one that’s right for you really comes down to the details. However, for drivers who crave sporty capabilities, maximum cargo space, and rugged styling, the choice is clear: the 2024 Kia Telluride.
