We explore the similarities and differences between the new Kia and Hyundai crossovers.
It's no coincidence that both Hyundai and Kia have brand-new three-row SUVs launching around the same time. The new 2020 Hyundai Palisade and 2020 Kia Telluride are closely related under the skin, even if they appear quite distinct from each other on the surface. We examined both to outline the key differences, both objective and subjective, between the two.
These two SUVs share a powertrain: a 3.8-liter V-6 that makes 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission is standard across the board, and front-wheel drive comes standard on both the Telluride and the Palisade, with all-wheel drive available.
Kia officially says the Telluride can tow up to 5000 pounds, and Hyundai says to expect the same for the Palisade.
While both the Kia and Hyundai have the same 114.2-inch wheelbase, the Telluride is 0.8 inch longer and 0.5 inch wider than the Palisade.
Both have an 18.8-gallon fuel tank. Read more...
