Is the Hyundai Palisade better than the Kia Telluride used?

Usually, the Hyundai Palisade is the better used buy for most shoppers — but the Kia Telluride is often the better pick if resale value matters most.

Why:

• The Palisade and Telluride are close mechanical twins: they share the same basic platform and, in most model years, the same 3.8L V6 and 8-speed automatic.
• In the used market, the Telluride often holds its value a bit better, so comparable examples can cost more.
• That means the Palisade often delivers more features for the money if you’re trying to maximize value.

How to choose:

• Pick the Telluride if you want the stronger resale-value story and prefer Kia’s styling/interior layout.
• Pick the Palisade if you want the better used-price bargain and slightly more upscale-feeling cabin in many trims.

One important caveat: the best deal depends heavily on trim, mileage, condition, and model year. Some years and trims may be priced very differently, so compare specific listings rather than the badges alone.
