The 2024 Kia Telluride has worked its way into becoming a fan favorite amongst midsize SUVs, but you may be wondering how it compares to similar options from other manufacturers. That’s why our team at Gerald Kia North Aurora has taken the time to pit it against the 2024 Hyundai PALISADE. Read on to see how the two match up!

Interior

The inside of both the 2024 Kia Telluride and the 2024 Hyundai PALISADE can be home to a standard 6-way manually adjustable driver’s seat, as well as an 8-way power adjustable component. However, it’s only the former that has access to a 10-way power driver’s chair with 4-way lumbar support. It also features a 6-way manual passenger’s seat, which you won’t find on the PALISADE. As for your arrangements in the back, the Kia Telluride offers two options. The 60/40 split-folding second-row seats come standard, but you can opt for the available 50/50 second-row option for a change of pace. The Hyundai PALISADE also features standard 60/40 split fold-flat seats, but it doesn’t offer a 50/50 setup. Finally, while the PALISADE comes with comfortable cloth seating surfaces as the standard option, the Telluride has its SynTex seat trim that’ll offer a premium experience during your travels down Route 31.

Technology

To make your travels around Aurora feel a bit more intuitive, the 2024 Kia Telluride has a variety of technology features to offer on both the inside and outside. Firstly, get started via your own smartphone device with the available digital key¹ option. Once that’s done, you’ll be able to set the feel of the cabin to your liking with the standard pre-cooling and heating through the Kia Access App². While both the Telluride and Hyundai PALISADE offer their standard dual-zone automatic climate control options, the Telluride also has its standard rear passenger controls to give those in the back the option to adjust their setting independently. Finally, only the Telluride features its available power-folding side view mirrors for added convenience.

Safety

To help keep you and your guests protected during your rides across the Fox River, the 2024 Kia Telluride has some safety features that are exclusive to it. The standard Lane Departure Warning³ ensures you don’t drift off course, while the Hyundai PALISADE uses a similar Lane Departure Assist³ system. Then, the standard Intelligent Speed Limit Assist⁴ of the Telluride will prove ideal for keeping you within the confines of how fast you should be traveling through North Aurora at any given time. While both the Kia Telluride and Hyundai PALISADE have access to standard Downhill Brake Control, it should be noted that this only applies to the PALISADE for its AWD variants and not its standard FWD option. Finally, you’ll benefit from the Kia Telluride’s standard Rollover Sensor⁵, which will deploy multiple airbags when it detects your vehicle tipping off its axis.
