Based On LOOKS Alone, WHO Did It Better? Hyundai Palisade vs. Kia Telluride

Hyundai looks like a failed Korean plastic surgery

Last time I looked - they were both the same company too

THey both look good to me when I keep my eyes shut

looks better than your mom's nose job

*popcorn*

Please update your site - Autospies so this stuff stops happening.

I dont get it. Honda's aren't boring anymore?

The Telluride looks better than the Palisade. The Palisade's nose is too "Mitsubishi" ugly. I don't hate it completely nor do I love it.

Who did it better, this 5 day old pile of horse crap or this 6 day pile of horse crap.

The spam bots have found autospies...

Both are repulsive the Hyundai moreso and looks like a sucker fish with that tacky front grille -FAIL.

Given that the current Land Cruiser is a 1996 design, perhaps they should.

Both are the size of the Queen Mary and should not be allowed on public roads or allowed to park in public parking lots. RV parks and empty spaces at Wal-Mart are fine. If you need a vehicle this large buy an RV or invest in a Tiny Home. That being said the Hyundai has too much chrome on its snout for my tastes.

Really Kia boring...but a smaller Honda pilot isn't????

When the Passport hits the street, the Pilot will definitely become boring.

Kia does it better. And to the guy that said a Pilot was better, I am sure you're the guy that guacamole is too spicy for. Honda, while some of the safest cars in existence aren't exactly known for aggressive or even daring looks or designs. While the Passport is not ugly, it does pale in comparison to either of these vehicles in terms of styling. And to everyone else digging Kia and Hyundai, I will gladly take either of their vehicles over their American counterparts for one reason alone; Both stand behind their vehicles to the tune of a 10 year, 100K mile powertrain warranty and a 5 year, 60K mile bumper to bumper warranty. Outside of Buick, no other American manufacturer comes close to offering that. And as a businessman (financial manager to be precise), you dont make that type of warranty available on vehicles you KNOW will utilize it extensively and, thus, cost you money. You just don't. It's bad business and bad financial management. You only offer that type of warranty if you know you're putting out a quality product. So what does that mean for most American manufacturers that offer a much shorter warranty (lets just say 3 year, 36K BTB and 5 year 60K powertrain)? They doe this because they know that their product may not stand up over the warranty and because by the time the customer figures out they've got a terrible vehicle that is costly to repair (a boon and financial windfall to the manufacturers and dealers by the way), they're no longer on the hook to fix it or pay for it. Genious if your the dealer or manufacturer. Not so much if you're the customer. But I get it. Value and quality does mean as much as a brand name. To each his own.

Kia does it better!

Well perhaps you can answer me this Curtisg. I assume you are aware of the investigation into over 3 million Hyundai/Kia vehicles since 2007 that have caught on fire and injured 100 plus people. Maybe there might just be a chink in the amour of that so called quality product. Frankly it would give me pause before I were to purchase a Hyundai/Kia product until this gets thoroughly resolved. This is the first time that I can recall where there were actual fires injuring people. Hyundai/Kia seems to think this can get be resolved with a simple software upgrade on non-affected vehicles. I am frankly a bit skeptical.

This is NOT a true statement: "...3 million Hyundai/Kia vehicles since 2007 that have caught on fire and injured 100 plus people..."

3 million H/K vehicles have NOT caught on fire. 3 million vehicles were recalled as a precaution, but 3 million did not burst into flames.

As for your skepticism, it's based solely on your emotional response and not based in logic and common sense.

Darringer-You are correct. It is NOT 3 million vehicle fires. However there are thousands of reports of fires."Reuters reports that the investigation by NHTSA comes in response to a petition from the Center Of Auto Safety seeking to probe into the matter. The center has been investigating select Kia and Hyundai models for fire risks since 2007 and the most recent probe covers 2011-2014 Kia Optima and Sorento, 2010-2015 Kia Soul, and 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata and Santa Fe.It is claimed that there have been reports of more than 3,000 fires, which injured over 100 people in Hyunda and Kia models" Since 2015, more than 2.3 million Hyundai and Kia models have been recalled to address engine fire risks. This included more than 570,000 Sonata and Santa Fe models and 618,00 Optima, Sorento, and Sportage vehicles. The agency says this new probe"is not limited to engine components and may cover additional vehicle systems or components" In a statement Hyundai said it was cooperating fully with the NHTSA.The two South Korean carmakers have been the focus of attention for many investigations due to their handling of recalls for vehicles prone to fire risks. Late last year, it was revealed that federal prosecutors launched a criminal investigation into Hyundai and Kia to see if they conducted these recalls properly" Not the entire article but you get the gist. Perhaps my "skepticism" is based on a bit more than emotional response and perhaps logic and common sense. I don't know but this seems pretty wide spread. Perhaps they have taken a few lessons from VAG.

"Thousands" you respond to the imprecision with more imprecision?

Attempt to follow with me on this minimind22. Recalls call back "all" for the sins of the few. A recall does NOT mean that all of the vehicles called in are defective.

Frankly, I trust a manufacturer more if they do big recalls to double check and protect the consumer. By contrast, Subaru has staunchly avoided recalls for fried transmissions, engines that dangerously leak oil, and catastrophic valvetrain failures by covering the repair bills of those who squeak the loudest. Then a critical mass is reached and they have been repeatedly sued.

Two vehicles at two extremes of the design spectrum. Palisades is taking a Lexus-like almost over the top approach. The Telluride is almost too subdued.

I'm enjoying my Telluride company car. It got attention down in Newport Beach when we dropped with with the valet for lunch. Like the Stinger, people will ask what it is and then they are favorably surprised that it's a Kia.

The Palisades exterior has a generally rounded design with sharp features. Maybe that's why it's a bit much.

Both have great overall exterior proportions.

Both look fantastic in their own way (and not a minivan replacement like the Hondas or Nissans). I visited the local Kia dealer this week to see the Telluride. Very impressive in person. The sales guy said they have sold every one they have received within 2 hours of arrival. I look forward to seeing the Palisade, though, before I make a purchase decision. Bought an Elantra last fall for my college freshman and couldn't be more pleased. Now I'm sold on the Hyundai family and ready to trade in my Suburban!
