Similar, Yet Not? 2023 KIA Telluride vs Hyundai Palisade Comparison

interesting. No, I don't know which one I like more. MMM. I like your Hyundai Palisade. I think Hyundai seems a little more luxurious than Ikea to me, but no. I like its interior color, it would get it too dirty. I like this interior color because it won't show as much wear and tear as its lighter colored interior, but I could see you going either way. I mean, it's one of those things. oh, this is, I've heated the second row and cooled the second row, which is just amazing to me um and this sounds a little crazy, but it's amazing to me at this price.

I have those features and I mean I know it costs fifty thousand dollars, I get it, it's an expensive SUV, but very often you don't get these features and 50,000 SUVs are fine, before you go too far. I want to check this out so this is a 23 Kia Telluride SX Prestige X pro v6 all wheel drive. drive midnight lake blue exterior black interior they call this black interior color uh everything is standard as far as Harman Kardon and the head up display and the dual panel displays and the digital mirror. I had the same Napa leather seat upholstery that she has. all of that is standard and then you come here to the 20 inch wheels you get those 18 now and the increases towing capacity all that kind of stuff is included and then we just have a little more paint for the terra cotta interior package and the carpeted floor mats so my price is 55 120 I I have 21 highway combined 18 City 24 and this is built in Georgia.

One of the interesting things about this with the Honda days is that Kia is the guarantee. It has a 10-year, 100,000-mile warranty on the even gear. Five-year 60,000-mile base. Limited basic quarantine. a six or five year six thousand mile roadside assistance which is one of the best warranties in the business, but that rear cargo space, how about that? This is my golf bag flying to Florida. I will be playing golf for four or five days. I have a skateboard there and I have my backpack, so that's when we get to the rear cargo room the Kia Tire and the Hyundai Palisade are the same.

I have a plug in here though uh 100 amps so not much about 100 watts so kind of a small vacuum maybe a smaller compressor nothing too crazy and then just uh yeah and down we add quickly here behind the wheel and we drive to my vacation, I only use my phone here so excuse me for some of the quality. but you can see where the torque is going to the wheels and you can see that I have the lane departure on and the adaptive cruise control with the head up display and yeah, I have like a little hand on the kind of grip. nice and smooth on the road nice and good visibility that's the most important thing look how much visibility you have.

I mean, it's like you're sitting in the cockpit looking around and nothing really, not even this eight player does. I don't want to get in the way, this thing here, here's that torque again, so when you turn it up you can see I'm all lit up, so you take your foot off and you can see they're adjusting back and forth where the power is it's sending okay I want to add a couple of things to this video so first of all let's talk about this seat massage discussion so I'm on the ride Kia Tire

2023

it's a supplemental owner's manual basically it's the aspects highlights and what he talks about.

This is a driver's lumbar stabilization system, this really confused me while I was driving and I was trying to figure it out and frankly I had to stop and say let's look at the manual because this is what happens when you adjust the lumbar with element C Yes As you adjust it, you can enable it to go into what's called a lumbar stabilization system, which means it will adjust and roll the last row up your back and it feels a little bit like a massage, but it's gentle. It's not really faking it and it's interesting that that happens so I didn't find any button to do it because there's no button you have to go to the settings and do it and when you're driving you can't get the settings.

So if you know it's Catch 22, you want to make sure it's set up the way you want before you go out and to make sure it's on Palisade has a cool feature they call clutch stretch. It is a feature that helps relieve a particular driver's pelvis and driving with the lower back and they have a basic mode, but they also have the whole body that stretches the cushion and the seat back moves in sequence helping the whole body to reduce fatigue, so it's basically the same idea of ​​the massage functions that we see in more luxury vehicles, but it's not called the same thing, so I thought it was interesting.

Another thing I want to put on the screen. I'll play the video here in a second. It was about the windshield wipers and how they are tucked under the hood. I'll play this. a little bit brief and I'll come back and explain how you're supposed to put them into service mode and we'll discuss that a little bit more too, okay look at this, we had like 10 inches of snow that night. in Nebraska and I'm trying to get this Kia Telluride out because I want you to know you're driving it today and I'm trying to clear the windshield so as you know in northern climates, you do a lot if you use the windshield wipers. up and get out of the way, but look at this, in both cases I can't because this arm is under the hood here and that's why it doesn't come out, that's something that really bothers me with the engineers.

Here's a basic idea. something people do all the time in winter weather, we always have these wipers on, you know, no ice buildup, it's easy to clean the windshield in the morning and then they make it so you can't lift the winchewaper like that that person is ridiculous he didn't do any winter testing he doesn't live in winter weather he has no idea what's going on because that's absurd there you go there are details about the wiper situation that some people point out in comments like hey you have to put it in service mode of windshield wipers and I say, what if the windshield wipers are frozen?

The windshield defrosts them, then you lift them up and then you do something, but that's how it actually works lift the wipers to clean the windshield inspector replace the wiper blades or lift the wipers in snow and ice conditions without damaging the hood. The wiper blades should move to the center of the windshield in service mode, so with the ignition on, turn off the ignition and then within 20 seconds, move the wiper switch to the Mis position and hold the switch for more than two seconds until the wiper blade is in the fully raised position to return to a normal position, turn on the ignition and then activate the lost button, yes, so you will be cleaning your windshield.

It snowed while trying to get to work or whatever and this is a sequence you follow to raise the wipers to clear the windshield so you can drive with a clean windshield. um, that's a terrible solution. Usually it's like 70 80, maybe even. 100,000 when you start doing luxury like Land Rover to get those kind of features in Mercedes-Benz, so quite a few features for the dollar. I think so, what do you guys think of the comments below? Would you accept the Palisade or the? Kia, which one would you go with and why again put those comments below?
