Ya, but do I want to own a Kia, I don't think so. Give me Honda reputation and long lasting quality.
So the Honda is the better car got it. Thanks.
The amber DRLs are so out of place and look odd to say the least. Why not make them white like every other car on the planet?
Why don't you compare the suv speakers with the same sound track
We love our telluride S. It’s everything we need. I can appreciate how they cut costs to save consumer money. (Lot of plastic in place of metal). But it’s a fantastic vehicle. Tons of interior room
Nice review, but I struggle to put a lot of faith into a review made by someone who sounds just barely old enough to drive either vehicle, let alone have the knowledge and life experience required to even be in a station in life where one can afford to wisely make a $50k investment into an automobile, which on its face, are (by design), not good investments in the first place.
I respect OPs opinion.. I just don't value it very much. And that's my opinion (which I equally have the right to express).
However.. based on the quality and effort that went into this video, keep it up and you WILL be a trusted auto reviewer with a successful career in guiding auto buyers along in their purchases!

Kia telluride ❤️❤️❤️
Great review. I am loving what Kia and Hyundai are doing. As a diehard honda buyer, they are winning me over lol..
Everyone seems to be pro Kia and Hyundai and for good reason. However, it's important to keep in mind Honda's and Toyota's still have better resale value according to ALG. Not to mention, the Kia and Hyundai lots are NOT selling the Telluride and Palisade for cheap. These vehicles are being delivered to lots with a ton of upgrades and pricing anywhere between high 30s and mid 40s. Therefore, if you buy one you should plan on keeping it for ten years.
You can get the rear entertainment system with pilot even with the panaromic roof. Pilot is a better choice if that is important. Also pilot is faster and much more nimble to operate. Reliability and way better resale value than kia. This comparison is not fair because Sx is the top trim of telluride and touring is a grade below the top trim of pilot.
At this rate I think the palisade is the only worthy competitor….
Telluride WIN
They didn't mention that the Pilot is substantially quicker. 0 to 60 mpg for Pilot is 6.1 vs 7.5 for Telluride. However, I have a 2016 Pilot and I find the driver seat to be uncomfortable. I'm looking for something else.
Pilot is still using 6 speed transmission, it is not 20th century. Wake up and stay away from the outdated pilot.
My biggest issue with the Telluride is that it’s a Kia. No way in hell I’d spend almost 50k on any Kia.
I am a huge Honda pilot fan but the Telluride takes hands down. Price wise, you get better incentives on a Honda. You will be lucky to buy a Telluride at MSRP, all dealers are marking them up by thousands of dollars and people still buy them. I received $6,000 off MSRP on a Pilot EX-L while Kia will not bother selling at a dime below MSRP. Just something to consider if on the market for an mid-size SUV. I still haven't gotten one though.
Correction. You said they both have paddles. I believe the Telluride does not have paddles. The Honda does… if you want a Telluride with paddle shifters you will have to go for the Hyundai Palisade that is the closest thing to the Telluride. Maybe just make a correction! Your squad member -Spencer!!!
You should compare the pilot elite, despite price differences, also think about reliability and resell value! Besides that, the Kia is impressive in terms of accessories, but I'd prefer the Honda, for reliability and resell value! Nice comparison video though!!!
Honda sucks. Stopped looking at those in 1990. Test drove an odyssey last moth. Gross. Buying a Palisade.
i am sorry but. this is not even close match. kia telluride is so much better.
Telluride is the most luxurious in the 3 row suv category. It even outdid BMW, Mercedes and others to be awarded Motor Trends suv of the year. Along with that, it has the most advanced tech and safety features, earning a 5 star rating in all crash tests. With Telluride's 10 year warranty and overwhelming consumer demand, you can also expect Telluride to have excellent resale value and reliability.
No mention of resale value…
Well it is a brand new vehicle so don't be in a rush to get one, they need to work the bugs out. Look at the Ascent.. tons of problems and it's only been out a little over a year. The Telluride can expect issues too. The rule of thumb? wait until the vehicle has had 3 years on the road before you buy or face some setbacks getting there. For the moment the Pilot has been on the road since 2002 and is the segment leader in the mid-sized SUV/Crossovers. Also the pilot is significantly faster in the zero to 60, it does it in 6.3 seconds whereas the telluride does it in 7.3 seconds. Guess they forgot that part. Also the the NHTSA has 68 complaints on the 2020 telluride while the 2020 pilot has zero complaints. This needs to be taken into consideration.
Stupid comparaison, 1.5 point for the seat for kia. kia more power but less performance, kia have a basic system 4 wheel drive, you don't compare out of road . kia is not suv it's a minivan .
Way to dethrone the leader KIA!! Telluride is an official new King… Love this Telluride; Made in Georgia, U.S. of A!!!!
Kia telluride is better Except it 💁🏻♀️
Kia no doubt
No way to compare highlander to pilot. Highlander is was smaller.
Don’t want a Kia because they need to prove reliability for about another 5 years. Haha.
You should have compared the Kia to the top of the line Honda. It would have been a more fair comparison. Even further demonstrating the value of the Kia. The Kia infotainment center and quality is also much better.
The pilot doesn't have that wow factor look like the Telluride.
Telluride bests Honda in every category by enough that I went out and bought one. For the record, Telluride is much more luxury oriented than Pilot/Passport so they aren't really in the same category in that respect anyway. I put luxury KLexus badge overlays on my Telluride as soon as I got it. People say it looks like a Ranger Rover from the Front, Lincoln Aviator from the side, and Caddy or Volvo from the rear. Telluride also has a better warranty than Pilot.
One thing I am still trying to figure out is which one will hold its value over the long run. As far as I know Honda has the best resale value even better than Toyota and they are just as reliable as Toyota which is also something really useful for someone like me who keeps the vehicle for a long ass time.
Let's talk sales how many telluride on the road not too many, on the other hand there's a lot of Honda Pilot out there that's says a lot.
Let the time be judge.
The Telluride has been described as being like a Lexus in KIA disguise . It’s the luxury KIA that drastically improves their image .
Thanks to Kia I saved 5k on a Honda lol.
We recently bought a Telluride and very simply, it is by far the nicest vehicle we’ve ever purchased! So many bells and whistles that are STANDARD. We truly feel like we are driving a luxury vehicle! If anyone is in the market for a spacious and comfortable SUV and you are on the fence about the Telluride, let me dispel any of your trepidation…This vehicle will put a smile on your face. KIA has raised the bar very high
Tell!! You!! Ride!!
I will never buy a car that has an infotainment system with a glass panel. Telluride wins.
called Kia dealer in texas. The price for SX prestige package is 57,000 without taxes, With taxes its + 60K. They say that they cannot keep with the demand, so the MSRP had to be matched. What the hell !!
Tel win
It's stupid comparaison why you give 1.5 pt just for seat , no off road ? When you lost the jobs in the car factory, kia don't build the sales in the year.
Japanese fuckbois hating on telluride cause they know it’s so much better🤷♀️
