2022 Kia Seltos vs. 2022 Trailblazer by Chevrolet

Where midsize SUV rankings are concerned, the 2022 Kia Telluride lays claim to a top spot! With sleek technology, a large cargo hold, and a well-appointed, spacious cabin, this is the perfect choice for virtually anyone.

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade has a lot to offer including impressive standard features, a comfortable ride, and spaciousness.

Design & Style

The 2022 Kia Telluride provides a comfortable, undeniably upscale interior with a bold outward appearance. It offers plenty of desirable features, attractive materials, and excellent build quality. Some of the fancier options include Napa leather upholstery, a premium headliner, ventilated rear seats, driver’s seat memory settings, and more. Spaciousness is one of the biggest points in addition to the already impressive interior.

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade offers impressive spaciousness. Unfortunately, the doors let in wind noise, particularly at higher speeds. To access a third row seat, a one touch button moves the second row forward. Occupants of all three rows won't have to worry about feeling crowded in this offering from Hyundai.

Technology & Safety

In the 2022 Kia Telluride, a 10.3-inch touchscreen is featured in the robust infotainment center of every Telluride. Numerous power points are accompanied by Android Auto and Apple CarPlay capability. Driver Talk, an impressive sound system, and other options are available in upgrades. Blind spot monitoring, lane keeping assist, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and automated emergency braking are all standard.

In the 2022 Hyundai Palisade, Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto conductivity are standard (in SEL and SE trims) in the infotainment center that features an 8-inch touchscreen display. There is also an option of a 10.3-inch display in some models. Adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automated emergency braking (pedestrian protection included), and lane keeping assist are all standard.

Performance

The 2022 Kia Telluride offers 262 pound per feet of torque, 291 hp, and a naturally aspirated V-6 under the hood. In the standard version, an eight speed automatic transmission pairs with the engine to feed the front wheels. Options include all-wheel drive. Speaking of options, it takes 7.1 seconds to get from 0 to 60 mph in the Telluride SX – a top-of-the-line model.

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade offers 291 hp with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 3.8 L V-6. When climbing hills, you may notice some busy ratio shuffling; otherwise, the gearbox smoothly shifts on its own. Though all-wheel-drive is optional, front-wheel-drive is standard. When the all-wheel drive model was tested, it took 6.9 seconds to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour.

The Bottom Line

The 2022 Kia Telluride provides an excellent value proposition with its jampacked, desirable features, style, and comfort. It's comprehensively excellent, thanks to its practical, affordable, and attractive qualities.

The 2022 Hyundai Palisade, unfortunately, offers fuel economy ratings that are only so-so, small door pocket cubbies, and high wind sounds at cruising speeds. Fortunately, it has other good points.
