The Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade have been among Edmunds' favorite three-row SUVs for many years now. They boast roomy seating, classy designs, a generous number of features, and pricing that can potentially undercut the competition by thousands of dollars. But the "Telluride or Palisade?" decision can be tricky because the SUVs are mechanically related and share many similarities. It's gotten even trickier now that both SUVs have received full redesigns.
Hyundai gave its 2026 Palisade a big makeover, complete with new styling, new technology features, and a newly available hybrid powertrain for mpg in the mid-30s. Kia has done much of the same for its just-released 2027 Telluride. But there are subtle differences between these two SUVs that you'll want to know about. Edmunds' auto experts have tested and compared the Telluride and Palisade to help you decide which one is the better SUV for your needs.
