2021 Kia Telluride vs 2021 Hyundai Palisade vs 2021 Honda Pilot vs 2020 Toyota Highlander 

Wish they could all collaborate to make one...lol! That would be epic!!

Toyota Palisade SX Black Edition!

Don't forget the all digital display on the palisade that's not available on any trim of the telluride.

Telluride SX premium has 2 nd row heated/ventilated..kia shifter has manual shifter.. Shift down to Drive then shift left for up/down shifter..we got ours last week msrp for SX premium $47k and at 1.9% apr kia promo 72 months

Almost everything here is spot on, but personal preference. For example even those the Palisade has electric 3rd row fold, it's SLOW. Yea, a button is nice but it takes 10-12 seconds to fold them, vs just pulling a tether and down they go. Same going up. Next, Telluride has more cargo room. It's not much, but noticeable when you load anything in the back or have taller passengers in the back and headroom is to show for it. Third, If you get the tow package the palisade does not hide it at all. It's out of place and is just like 1995 chevy blazer, stick out in your face, tubular structure just hanging there. The Telluride is much subtle and looks like it's made to be there vs an after thought. Both vehicles can get heat/vent seats in front and second row, so that is incorrect. Fourth is on shifters. It's the same transmission in both and they do not shift any different between the two. So whether the shifting by paddles on the steering wheel or on the console shifter the quickness and response is the same with the touch of the button/s. And the markup is dealer and location. There are no dealers in 150 miles of me that do markup on orders of either. And both of them that are on lot do get the markup. So it's a wash in my location.

They are sister companies with near identical warranties; heck, these vehicles even use the same chassis. MSRP sale is dealer specific--Kia dealer near me sells at MSRP. I don't care for paddle shifters; I prefer Kia's gear shifter. You can upgrade to Prestige package to get most of the other bells and whistles you referenced, but then the prices are about the same between the two. Hyundai definitely wins with the power 3rd row seats (for putting up and down). Hyundai is also slightly safer; about the only midsize suv 5* safety across all categories. Still, most of these come down to preference.

My issue with the Palisade is just the exterior style-looks like yet another ordinary car-kind of a Nissan-like grill design. The Telluride looks more rugged and truck-like, more along the lines of a Land Rover or International Scout. I do prefer the Palisade interior-just want that in the Telluride exterior. Would like the pushbutton transmission just to free up the space on the console.

It has the best IIHS safety rating compared to the others mentioned here, in all categories.

Good choice

Appreciate it! Cool to see other channels like mine, your content is awesome as well!

@@Allcarseveryday Thanks! It's definitely awesome to see similar auto channels putting in that work. Keep it up! Your content truly is great. I subbed. Looking forward to your next video! ✌🏽

Glad I could help out! Be on the look-out for Telluride mark-ups since the demand still out paces the supply. MSRP may actually be significantly lower than what the dealer wants for it!

Honda and toyota will last forever

Honda and Toyota don't catch on fire as easy...

Much appreciated! Will do.

Still looks like a hearse 🤣😂

My daughter got one as well. I’m a Toyota man but the palisade wins every category hands down. I’m really impressed. It’s a pleasure to ride in.

We just got the hyper white calligraphy as well!! We love!! I agree it's super awesome and has great presence. and way more tech

Elvis Risley True

Hey Elvis, my only question is. Can you really tell that much difference in the overall ride? I read somewhere that the Kia chassis is more of a sports car ride.

Glad you liked it!

Same here, did my homework for a month! Im from detroit so there are tons of choices here..went for a 2022 SX premium trim at msrp kia la fontaine

@@camilo8cheryl nice lol I was there last week picking up parts for my 21 telluride.

The xse white -black/red interior is insanely nice ! Dealer sold it in hours before I could try n get a deal on it .

I found the Highlander with V-6 would easily break traction on acceleration. You can hear and feel those big tires as well. The new design is more sleeker but still has problems.

6 foot 4 and heard this before regarding the new Highlander. The 19 had more leg room, but its newer version not so much. The lexus version has 44 inches for the driver. Not sure but the Koreans are closing on the Toys. I like the Pali! 😎

I have it

Toyota is so outdated in technology, interior.

Thank you!

Same reason I just got a 21 Elite.

It looks like I also go to this category....

Did you have to change the timing belt??

How is the paint on your Pilot? The paint on my Honda Pilot started to fade after only 6 years.... Its very annoying to have only a 6 year only car that runs great, look like a piece of shit, with the paint all faded off left with giant white and grey swirls... AND I am reading the newer Hondas still have this problem.

@@tigerjonn I doubt the newer Hondas have the same paint problem. As a painter, I can tell you it takes some time to know what caused the problem. And, the problems don't show up overnight either. It most likely was a problem with the clearcoat formulation. It most likely has been fixed.

No problem! Glad you liked it!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you liked it!

Mike E. Toyota is a king in any category I would say. I have been driving 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum since September and getting impressed by the performance every day. Two days ago I drove 600 km over country snow and slushy highways and boy or boy she did not disappoint. Was holding the road like a train on a railway. Very quiet as well.

I’m seeing new Atlases all over town. I guess people like a German brand and it looks rugged.

Wow! That is a really disturbing experience

@@mikeyoutube2964 Good to hear this, vs the people that have been having issues with thier late model Toy High Hybrids.

I just bought a Palisade Calligraphy as well. It is a fantastic vehicle. My wife and I simply felt the handful of additional features, including the three years maintenance, made it well worth it over the other vehicles in the segment.

Can you please say honestly how Hyundai Palisade v6 gdi engine is? Is this very good quality v6 engine? Will this engine run 500k to 600k km? I want to know because I have a confusion to choose from Hyundai Palisade V6, Volkswagen Atlas sel V6, and Honda Pilot Elite V6, please give me the right information because I want to choose a V6 car which will run perfectly 500k to 600k km without any big issues...

@@KnowTheNewOfficial So, NA V6 engine cars I have/had includes Lexus, Cadillac, Acura, Hyundai. I never had VW, but Audi A6 had a lot of issues. If you are going for longevity, I would avoid VW. Lexus RX350 drives nice, but I feel it is little under-powered. I had so much fun in Cadillac, but I don't think the engine was very reliable. I hated my V6 Hyundai Sonata back in 2007, which I traded after only 3 months of riding it. I change my cars often, so I can't really speak for longevity, but I am very satisfied with my Palisade for good amount of power and fuel efficiency. It also has 10 year warranty, so I suppose they do make a pretty reliable engine as long as you maintain it right. Having an Acura MDX, I would not recommend Honda. I generally had not much luck with European, so I would avoid Atlas. If I am in your shoes, my comparison will be between Highlander v6 vs Palisade V6. For me, the reason why I got 7 seater is due to my kids as I become a father. My son loves to drink and eat in the car and I am not worried too much about what he does in my Palisade. After all, it is a pretty cheap car and gives you a lot more compared to other brands. Oh, one sacrifice is that it lacks some convenient features such as full auto second row windows control, but I can't complain at this price point. It comes with second row heated and cooled seats but not the auto windows control. lol. The self driving feature is pretty amazing. Not as good as Tesla for sure, but it gives you enough time to play what you want to watch on RU-vid.

@@WhollySchiit OK, thanks for good response and I will go with Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy 2023 model, thanks brother

@@KnowTheNewOfficial 2023 model is a really good choice. I saw the interior upgrade photos and it looks beautiful!! I hope Hyundai keeps making improvements to Palisade.

We have the same opinion

I also like the palisade

Facts!!!

@@Forklore21 nice 🙂

@@watchlast1692 👍🏾

Glad you liked it!

Wise choice

How do you like it 8 months later?

That's true. They are in such high demand that dealers have the ability to charge that premium. If you can wait on a purchase, I'm sure Kia will match demand in the coming model years and the Telluride won't be sold at a mark-up. Or you can look at the lightly used market and get the initial depreciation out of the way with a low mileage example.

TC B-EXACTLY!!-I was looking for a Telluride or Pallisade well EVERY dealer I went to had the kia marked up way over msrp so I looked at the pallisade and it was nice but the interior looked cheap to me so I ended up buying a Highlander XLE and LOVE IT!

@@donmckinney4091 It’s real leather in the Palisade doesn’t look cheap.

@@evita6385 -the seats don't but look at the dash panel compared to the Highlander it' like night and day. Hyundai could have done a much better job instead of putting in those cheap looking silver buttons.

Just wait till spring & then pricing will be competitive between dealers, .....

Good info for us folks that are on the fence! Japan vs Korean, it seems like the Koreans have the edge. The the Toy reliability comes to play. Hmmm

I just bought a highlander 2 weeks ago. I love it so far.

I seen new xse white with red on black interior was the sportiest interior ive ever seen in these models . Black headliner was incredible great car nice job toyota but wife wanted the pilot elite though

@@melissawittman ain't it great?!

@@peteg337 my wife didn't go for Pilot because she was trading in her CRV and said the Pilot was just an oversized CRV 😄

@@suthius85 why didn’t you guys look at the telluride or palisade. I looked at all in person and the palisade was the most beautiful looking and was the smoothest and most luxurious. The highlander looks like a raised up rav4

The palisade offers a dual pane in one of its trims

Actually no. Sorry but clearly the Highlander wins the comparison.

Not in the Base SX trim. Those come with the options package!

True... dealer I had to go to to get the one I wanted (because they actually had it) was pretty terrible overall. I loved my Mercedes dealer, but the Hyundai vehicle is so much better for the money overall, even with the dirty, beat up, confused, slow dealership. The vehicle itself is more important than the dealer though. Luckily there is another dealer near me with better ratings I'll probably go to for service.

Glad you liked it!

Glad you enjoyed it! Can't go wrong with the Palisade.

@@Allcarseveryday BTW ... I meant that comment in the kindest possible way!

Looking good when you're pulled over on the side of the road with a breakdown.

It was correctly stated in this video, and I do distinguish between those rankings. Maybe give it a second watch through.

I can’t make a solid claim to any of these engines running that long. Just based on history I would say your best bet wouldn’t the Highlander by a long shot, followed by the Honda. Not to say the Kia or Hyundai couldn’t go that long, but historically speaking if you need a long running engine you buy a Toyota.

Only problem is it seems like it may be slightly underpowered from some reviews online

Yes, I’ve gotten this a couple times! In the more recent videos, I put the visual numbers up on the screen too (like price, MPG, cargo space, safety ratings etc) though honestly my speaking isn’t any slower. Hopefully though, people can see the numbers visually a little better, which I didn’t do in this video! Thanks for the comment!

You're right--I would have done that in an ideal world but when I filmed this only the 2020 model was out. On the plus side, the 2021 Highlander is nearly identical to the 2020 Highlander. I think all that's changed is a couple of available exterior colors, and the addition of the XSE model, which wouldn't have been in this particular comparison test. Hopefully the video is still helpful in the sense that nearly everything I say about the '20 applies to the '21 as well!

@@Allcarseveryday should’ve reviewed the platinum it has a bigger screen wood trim and some other things

@@Allcarseveryday toyota safety sense has also been updated.

The Tule is marked up by the dealers because they sell quickly. Kind of strange given they have only been mfg for a few years. The Pali might be more available and cheaper. Shopping with others money!

Palisade looks like a hearse🤣🤣

Yeah that fuel ⛽️ pumps in Toyota’s are very reliable. How long can it take to fix?

Thanks! Good choice 😃

Why?

@@JohnLee-db9zt because Hyundai/Kia are unreliable.

@@midoriyaizuku4403 Not according to JD Powers and Consumer Reports. The only reliable Japanese car company now is Toyota/Lexus. The newer Hyundai/Kia are proving to be very reliable.

@@JohnLee-db9zt How can the new ones be reliable when it’s only been a year or less since their launch? Hyundai/Kia track record is extremely bad. Their engines are literally setting themselves on fire! Google “Hyundai/Kia engine fire” and you’ll be surprised. Just because they look fancy now doesn’t mean they’re suddenly good vehicles. Toyota quality is simply on another level. Nissan looks really nice too and have all the fancy tech but they’re junk just like Hyundai/Kia.

Expensive in hybrid though. Would take many years to offset the cost.

Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sedona!

DVD ??? its 2021 dude... need a VCR in there too?

@@MissyMalaprop I need whatever the hell my son needs, problem? if he wants to watch a DVD that's what I will get him, if he wants to stream a movie, I will make sure he has what he needs to do that. If he wanted to watch a VHS tape to watch his great grandmother because that is all that was around back then, THEN I ASURE YOU I WILL make sure he gets it. He earns it, I make sure he gets it, that's how it goes. my guess is : 1. you have no kids 2. your a dead beat parent 3. you are just here to stay stupid shit with out thinking. 4. 1 and 3 OR 2 and 3 either way. Go pound sand asshole!

There used to be some aftermarket companies that installed them. I’d check around. Also try Amazon. There were some companies with life time warranties. Also, check with a few dealerships. They may have a relationship with a company.

I was on the same boat. Time will tell, my sonata sport 2016 was great the fist 3 years, after that not the same I ended up trading it.

Oh trust me it is. It just got some thick makeup on, under the fancy body it’s still junk.

@@midoriyaizuku4403 Toyota will sink

@@StinkySundae lol no. Toyota is introducing some of the best vehicles based on their TNGA platform. I don’t know why some people are hyping Hyundai.. the truth is they’re unsafe and unreliable. Just google “Hyundai/Kia engine fires” and you’ll be surprised.

Mark my words, Hyundai will surpass Toyota like Samsung surpassed Sony. It's the truth. Hyundai and Kia already surpassed many Japanese automakers.

Not necessarily true, if you drive it until it dies like me u buy the Kia or Hyundai (get way more for your money plus much better warranties), resell value means nothing if you are not planning to sell it

@@image13 you are the minority , normally people stay with a car around 3 o 4 years .

I guess I didn’t notice, but my bladder nowadays only last 250 or so miles anyway ........

The ferrari maybe 200 if at 9k rpm

I noticed. Its bad in smaller cars. I did a road trip in my new Palisade Calligraphy and did a 420 mile 1 way, and still made it with some fuel left still. Computer said I got 25.2 mpg, which means full to empty I could have gotten 473.76 miles.

It’s the being able to put my fist at the bottom of the steering wheel
