When you need more space for your family, a three-row SUV is the way to go. The market has excellent models in the segment, such as the 2024 Kia Telluride and the 2024 Hyundai Palisade. These vehicles platform siblings, so they share powertrains and several components. They are both value-packed midsize SUVs with plenty of space and tech. Furthermore, they have enough performance and impressive safety features for all commuting requirements.
Let's see how these three-row SUVs stack up in a Kia vs. Hyundai comparison. We'll first see which vehicle has the better interior. Then, we’ll check out their respective performance specifications. Finally, we’ll evaluate their standard and optional safety equipment. Based on our recommendation, you can be assured of a well-matched vehicle that will benefit you and your family for years.

The 2024 Kia Telluride and the Hyundai Palisade are closely matched in interior space. This is no surprise since they share the same platform. They can seat up to eight passengers in three rows. Buyers can also choose a more comfortable second-row captain chair configuration. Here, capacity drops to seven. However, the two separate second-row seats of this configuration offer more comfort and luxury. They can be adjusted individually, and a walk-through passage can be created in between for easier access to the third row.
The Telluride scores a win with trunk space measuring 21 cubic feet behind the third row. The 2024 Palisade can only provide 18 cubic feet of cargo space, in contrast. The 2024 Telluride offers a dual-level cargo floor for more versatility. Both vehicles allow you to fold the second and third rows of seats for greater cargo capacity. Higher trims of the 2024 Telluride have a power-folding third row for convenience. Hence, you can easily transport more cargo.
Both family SUVs offer impressive amenities, such as tri-zone automatic climate control and soft Nappa leather upholstery for the seats. The front seats are power-adjustable and can be specified with heating and ventilation. Heating is also available for the outboard rear seats. The 2024 Telluride also offers a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and a Driver Talk feature. This lets the driver communicate with third-row occupants via the vehicle's rear speakers.
The 2024 Telluride and the 2024 Palisade get standard Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® compatibility. They also come with Bluetooth® hands-free and wireless audio. The 2024 Telluride also gets dual 12.3-inch panoramic displays for higher trims. There's a multi-speaker Harman/Kardon audio system upgrade and a wireless phone charger.
Plus, every 2024 Telluride has Kia Connect functionality. You can install the Kia Access app on your phone and control various aspects of your 2024 Telluride. This includes remotely activating the climate control system. Furthermore, the app will remind you of your vehicle’s maintenance and servicing requirements.
The 2024 Telluride and the Palisade share the same powertrain. They’ve both got a naturally aspirated 3.8L 291 HP V6 for all trims. A FWD system is standard, but an AWD system is also available. A drive selector with Eco, Sport, Comfort, and Smart modes is a standard feature. AWD variants also offer a Snow mode.
Some trims of the 2024 Telluride also include a Tow mode and can tow up to 5,500 pounds. In contrast, the 2024 Palisade is only rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds. Furthermore, the 2024 Telluride also offers a self-leveling rear suspension. This is useful for maintaining vehicle stability when towing a heavy trailer.
Each 2024 Telluride gets the Kia Drive Wise technology suite. Standard features include blind spot collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and rear cross-traffic assist. Forward collision warning, lane-keeping assistance, and lane departure warning are also included. Then, there's a driver attention warning system and a rear occupant alert feature. Higher trims include a surround-view camera system. The 2024 Palisade comes close but doesn't have as many standard features.
It's a close match between these two siblings, but the 2024 Kia Telluride appears to beat the 2024 Hyundai Palisade across our criteria. Its interior is just a bit more comfortable, and it has a few more standard safety features. That's enough for us to recommend it as your next family SUV.
