INTERIOR
Kia Telluride

The cabin is perhaps most important when considering an SUV for your family. Everyone in all three rows should be taken into account to ensure a peaceful ride, and that means every seat matters. Having more options and features available will keep everyone happy, so which cabin has the most to offer?

Cabin Comfort

Staying comfy is one of the keys to a smooth experience on the road. The same is true for drivers and passengers, so everyone deserves a premium seat. Throughout each cabin, you’ll find many standard and available features that enhance comfort, including:

  • 60/40 split third row
  • Available second-row captain’s chairs
  • Available heated first and second-row seats

While there are many ways for everyone to sit back and relax, the driver’s comfort is the most important. The Kia Telluride comes with an available 10-way power adjustable driver’s seat for added versatility. That’s two extra adjustable settings than you’ll find in the Palisade- Kia gives you the extra options you need for a smoother journey.


Contemporary Conveniences

There’s more to a great cabin aside from comfortable seats. Additional amenities and features make life on the road for your family even easier. Each model has forward-thinking inclusions that take modern convenience into account, such as:

  • Push Button Start
  • Rear row A/C vents
  • Available 64-color ambient lighting
  • Available memory driver’s seat

Since all of your passengers will have devices to use during your trip, it’s good to have options to keep them charged. The Kia Telluride offers USB fast charging ports in all three rows, giving everyone a chance to stay at 100%. The Palisade doesn’t have any ports for the third row, limiting your options. The Kia Telluride also comes standard with Remote Start and Pre-Cooling & Heating to get the cabin ready for your arrival, something the Palisade can’t match.

TECHNOLOGY
Kia Telluride

Innovation makes driving more fun and secure. Having all the latest tech is something worth celebrating during every drive. When you have family and friends along for the ride, you’ll want to make sure they are entertained and protected, making state-of-the-art technology a focal point.

Driver Assistance

Anything can happen on the road, which means you need to prepare for the unexpected. Since safety is always a prime concern, having extra security is always better. The Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade each have a collection of standard driver-assistive technologies that keep a watchful eye on the road, including:

  • Blind-Spot Collision Warning
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection
  • Lane Departure Warning
  • Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control

While both models have ample features, the Kia Telluride goes further with the addition of available Machine Learning to its cruise control system. Only the Telluride offers this advanced feature that learns more about you and your surroundings as you drive.


Infotainment on the Go

A robust assortment of useful and fun features is built into each SUV as well. These suites of features offer easy access to connected services and ways to keep every passenger entertained during your road trip. Features found in the Telluride and Palisade include:

  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • Wi-Fi hotspot
  • Available Harman Kardon® premium audio system
  • Available wireless device charging

While having these features available is convenient, easy viewing and access makes operating them even easier. The Kia Telluride offers available dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays for a crisp and clear view of your key information. This includes the standard infotainment touchscreen with navigation side-by-side with the available instrument display, giving clearer readouts of your essential info. You’ll only find these expanded screens together in the Kia Telluride.

CHOICES
Kia Telluride

You’ll feel more connected to your car when it is unique like you. An SUV that stands out makes a bold impression while giving you and your family the specific features you need. Having more options to choose from will make your ride one-of-a-kind.

Interior Style

When people think about appearances, they often consider the outside. While a striking coat of paint is a great start, the inside counts just as much. A combination of striking aesthetics and lush comfort creates a cabin that everyone looks forward to seeing day after day. Building your dream SUV is more fun when you can control how it looks from every angle.

The Palisade offers three different cabin colors. There is some variety, though there is room for more choice. That’s where the Kia Telluride comes in. The five color options include Mahogany and Terracotta, and include SynTex, leather, and luxurious Nappa leather upholstery options. Combining an interior with one of eight paint finishes allows you to create a Telluride that shows off your taste and personality.


Trim Levels

Different trim levels offer iterations and upgrades to a base vehicle. Each trim includes a unique combination of additional amenities and features in a special edition separate from the rest. Since every trim is a unique spin on a model, having more to choose from gives you more freedom in what you ride with. The Kia Telluride offers ten different trims to explore, each with plenty to appreciate. You can enjoy upgraded comfort and capabilities in trims such as:

  • S
  • EX
  • SX Prestige
  • SX Prestige X-Pro
  • SX Prestige X-Pro
  • And 5 more!

Options such as LED fog lights, seat and mirror memory, and dual power sunroofs make your family time on the road even better. The Palisade offers just seven trims, limiting your options. If you are searching for a particular experience, the Kia Telluride gives you more opportunities to find it.
