The new 2020 Kia Telluride and 2020 Hyundai Palisade SUV’s may look similar, but when reviewing the differences, the Telluride clearly surpasses the other with incredible value and innovative features. While 2019 is coming to a close, the much anticipated release of the Kia Telluride is coming to Lawton Kia soon and is worth the wait!

Power and Performance That Shows

The base level Telluride mid-size SUV has an impressive FWD drivetrain. As well as a combined gas mileage of 23 MPG compared to the Hyundai Palisade’s 22 MPG. This seemingly small difference in gas mileage leads to major savings over time. The power of the Telluride’s 3.8 liter V6 engine produces 291 horsepower, 262 lb-ft of torque and a 5,000lb towing capacity. Able to perform in almost every terrain, the Kia Telluride comes with four drive modes: Comfort, Sport, Eco and Smart. If you opt for the optional Active On-Demand All-Wheel Drive system, Snow and Lock settings are added. This system can sense road conditions and automatically distribute power to the appropriate wheels for more traction and better safety.

The Telluride Interior Optimizes Comfort & Increases Cargo Space

Kia understands the importance of comfort. The new Telluride interior offers the maximum available space in this almost 197 in. long SUV. The 2020 Telluride interior beats out the 2020 Palisade by including more shoulder, hip & head room. This makes long drives a breeze for up to 3 rows of passengers with the available third row seating. The Telluride seats up to 8 people with a 3 passenger second and third row or 7 people with the option of captain seats in the second row.

It also includes more cargo room for every possible storage configuration including specs of  21 cu. ft. behind the third row compared to the Hyundai Palisade’s 18 cu. ft. This immense cargo space creates the perfect place for lugging around sports gear when bringing the kids to practice and other ways to utilize the space to fit your life.

Standard Features 

This Kia SUV release has been making waves in the automotive world for many reasons. Including its abundant number of base features. Most of the auto industry’s latest innovations are already included in the new 2020 Kia Telluride base model, so there’s no need to add tons of expensive elements that inflate the purchase price beyond your expectations. The LX base model, comes equipped with many safety features including rear cross traffic collision warning with brake intervention so drivers can back up with ease. The brake intervention will automatically apply the brakes for the driver in case a pedestrian, child, or pet wanders behind the SUV.

The Telluride push button start with smart key comes standard so drivers can avoid fumbling for keys and add an extra level of convenience. Another beneficial feature is the ultrasonic rear occupant alert with text notification. This alert system sends out visual and audible warnings if there is movement detected in the backseat upon the driver exiting the vehicle. This ultrasonic & text alert quality is only available in the new Hyundai Palisade’s top trim level, while it is available in every Telluride model.The many features already included in the Kia Telluride can lead to thousands of dollars in savings when compared to the Palisade.

Major Savings on In-Demand Features 

The Telluride’s abundant base features mean that Hyundai Palisade customers would need to spend at least an additional $1,800 to get just some of the features on the new Telluride LX trim. These advanced features are available for thousands less on the Telluride trim levels compared to the Palisade models. Safety features like Kia’s Safe Exit Assist come standard on every Telluride. However, the same features are only available on the Palisade’s SEL and above trims. At the base model price of $31,690, the savings that come with the Telluride are unbeatable.
