2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid vs. Hyundai Palisade Hybrid: The Best 3-Row SUVs

42 thoughts on “2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid vs. Hyundai Palisade Hybrid: The Best 3-Row SUVs”

1. There are plenty of reasons to like both the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade, but the new hybrid powertrain they share takes them to another level. It's still splitting hairs to pick between this duo, but which one do you prefer? The futuristic and rugged Telluride or the classy and luxurious Palisade? Let us know in the comments below!

   ***Since we filmed this video, Hyundai has issued a stop-sale and recall for the 2026 Palisade Limited and Calligraphy trims. If you own one of these vehicles, please contact your dealer. The safety concern relates to vehicles fitted with second- and third-row power seats. While our example here was a recalled trim level, other Palisade trims are unaffected by the current recall.

2. With the palisade stop-sale, it renders the option moot

3. Have you done any testing on the two g ability of the Telluride or the Palsisade???

4. at this point …. i don't understand why people are buying KIA and HYUNDAI, Sacrificing the safety of your family for technology is insane

5. car markets be like "u want horizontal features or vertical?"

6. something just off on the front design of the palisade. the projectors are too in, it looks like it's cross eyed. hopefully a facelift can fix it.
   the telluride front design is just ugly. needs a complete overhaul

7. If I had not needed a vehicle immediately the decision would have been harder. Thanks to the Stop Sale Recall Kia had to be my selection. I agree with the reviewer on all aspects. The Kia is quieter and a better ride. I do like the dual wireless charging in the Kia, but like the styling in the Hynudai. The power third row is also a big plus in the Hyundai. One item that did not make the review, which swung it more favorably in the Kia direction was the inclusion of a full size spare tire in the Kia. I've had a blow out, and while Hyundai offers 24/7 nationwide roadside assistance, it could still take hours to get back on the road.

8. Which one has a stop sale and kills kids?
   Oh, wait, it's both of them 🙂

9. Edmunds is garbage for recommending these garbage. Keep selling your self out, it shows.

10. This is the video Toyota, Honda, Ford, Lexus TX, VW Atlas, Chevy whatever, Dodge whatever fan boys didnt want to see. Professional car reviewers across the industry pretty much giving these cars perfect scores and beating the competition. Especially the Honda and Toyota folks. They have that arthur meme with the fist going on when they consistently here these 2 are superior than the pilot and grand highlander. But they continue to scour the internet hoping and waiting for any recall or defect so they can blow it up on social saying i told you so lol

11. You didn't talk about the stop sale for both and the recall.

12. You should show how it handles its full towing capacity

13. Polarized lenses won't work well with Hud. Regular Sunglasses will

14. The recall is fixed chill out everyone

15. So you reviewed the car and didn't find any issue???
    People like Edmunds must've tested the safety on Palisade.

    GOOD JOB!!! Now I know not to trust Edmunds.

16. I'm so tired of boring interiors .🎉

17. They look ugly from outside!.. Over designed , I would go for simplicity and practicality, Honda Pilot ex

18. Same dam vehicle 😂

19. Just bought the Palisade Hybrid, came brown interior.. black exterior.. absolutely love it.

20. These reviews are great. And love the self deprecating athletic joke 😄 Only thing that needs fixing in these cars is allowing more bench options, no bench with the 3d view trim is a tragedy. Make a more traditional shifter, more bench options, and less hvac in screens, and it'd be a solid 10/10!

21. I kinda like the palisade look better…..

22. Horizontal vs Verticle 😂

23. Absolutely love my hybrid Palisade Calligraphy. Everything about it is amazing.

24. I thought Hyundai was supposed to be slightly more upmarket than the Kia, its interesting the top of the line trims are within a grand of each other

25. Love how you mention being able to fit SIX adults and skim right passed the tiny third row middle seat

26. Not a single reference to the sound systems base and upgrade.

27. Omg thanks so much for the comparison. I definitely want kia Telluride

28. STOP BUYING/PROMOTING these garbage gimmicky vehicles. A 2 year old child just died because Hyundai/Kia thought power folding third rows were COOL. Horrible idea. Same to all the other companies that offer this. Horribly unnecessary.

29. No thanks. I dont want any kids to die from hyundai

30. That purple interior sure is pretty!

31. Wow, I thought the previous Palisade was the ugliest thing possible, but they’ve outdone themselves!!

32. please take on for 100k kms and report on reliability

33. Both are ugly design

34. About the 2026 Palisade recall, I believe that the recall may extend to the Hyundai group’s other vehicles, like the new Telluride, Kia EV9, and Hyundai IONIQ 9, as well as the Genesis GV80. Who knows how much safety insights the Hyundai group has missed.

35. Those are the #1 and #2 ugliest cars on sale today

36. Don’t buy the hyundai that kills babies in its third row.

37. The palisade is gorgeous the telluride is ugly ash

38. Kia exterior and Hyundai interior would be a winner.

39. Hundai trying to overtake bmw in making ugly cars 😂

40. Sounds like KIA made some mistakes with the 2027, maybe they will fix them for the 2028 model.

41. The winner here should be compared to the Highlander Hybrid Max

42. Get the Kia!! Apparently the Hyundai 3rd row seat is a death trap for little ones. They are planning a recall, but I still wouldn't trust it.
