11/1/2023 0 Comments 2021 kia telluride reviewKia has certainly been gaining ground over the past 20 years, but it’s always been a case of playing catchup in both markets. ![]() Kia, on the other hand, didn’t travel north of the 49th until 1999, a full six years after a solid head start in the U.S. While Hyundai arrived here in 1984, it only took two years to enter the U.S. Looking at these numbers, we can’t underestimate the power of the Hyundai brand in Canada, compared to Kia which got a much later start. The Telluride’s profile is squarer and more upright than most competitors, which gives it a more traditional SUV look that many like. The divide is narrowing for 2021, with Hyundai growing Palisade sales to 4,037 examples during the first two quarters, and Kia stepping up with 2,531 Telluride deliveries. This might have something to do with the Palisade outselling the Telluride by more than two to one in Canada last year, Hyundai’s numbers reaching 7,279 units compared to just 3,474 deliveries for Kia. To be clear, I talk more often to gents about such things than ladies, and we should all know by now how important a women’s decision is in the buying process, especially in the family-friendly three-row crossover category. ![]() I hear this type of talk a lot in chats about the two South Korean SUVs, and more often than not the Telluride gets two thumbs up when it comes to styling. Kia’s new Telluride is one great looking mid-size SUV, especially in its top-line SX Limited trim.Ĭomparisons between Kia’s Telluride and Hyundai’s Palisade are starting to sound a lot like folks my age bantering about Chevy Blazer and GMC Jimmy preferences back in the ‘70s, with some liking Chevy’s subtler grille design more than GMC’s bolder iteration, or vice versa.
