Here's their reason why they chose the Palisade over the Telluride https://www.cars.com/articles/we-ha...yundai-palisade-is-the-best-3-row-suv-413993/
The only vehicle to mount a serious challenge to the Palisade was the Kia Telluride, which was expected considering the shared equipment between the two. They have the same safety features and were the only vehicles in our test to offer ventilated second-row seats.
There were two spots where the Telluride derived an advantage over the Palisade in our scoring: fuel economy (24.5 vs. 23.9 mpg) and multimedia (thanks to a household power outlet), though the two have the same basic setup, and the Palisade makes up the difference with a higher vehicle user interface score. The Telluride does come with a traditional shift lever, however, which some members of our staff like. My personal preference is for the Palisade’s button shifter because it opens up a large storage bin below the center console that can fit a small bag or purse.
Feature differences between the two vehicles include the Palisade coming with a power-folding third-row and the 12.3-inch instrument panel display. The Telluride’s counter is power-folding side mirrors that the Palisade doesn’t have. The display with its blind spot monitor system would be enough to move the needle on its own, but it’s also nice to move the third row around at the touch of a button.
The margins between the first-place Palisade and second-place Telluride are incredibly thin. At the end of our test, only 4 points separated them out of nearly 600 available . Both vehicles make an outstanding case for themselves and any shopper would be happy with either — perhaps just a little bit happier with the Palisade.
