I know some of you have purchased this car because I remember a few different comments over the last year or so on it. I'd be curious to hear your feedback on the car. My wife and I went and looked at 2025s yesterday and walked away impressed with what we saw. We'd not purchase a 2025 but would wait until the 2027s come out in February.

Not sure what to make of the hybrid only engine, but we're open to it. Any feedback is much appreciated.

Go test drive a hybrid Palisade if you want to get a feel for the powertrain.

The added power for the vehicle seems to be welcomed in Palisade reviews, but real world MPGs seem to be lower than EPA ratings.

I work at a kia dealership. The 25 will be very different than the 27 esp on the powertrain. And the price. MSRP will go up by about $12k.

The hybrid engine is in the carnival for 26 and it has been wildly popular.

When i was test driving stuff i really liked them. Really nice car

i had a hybrid carnival rental 2 weeks ago. i didn't find the hybrid drivertrain very impressive to be honest. the battery power was very short lived, the switching between engine and battery seemed like it was confused sometimes and it didn't stay on EV power as long as i thought it could. and the overall range felt not all that different to what i'd have expected for just a gas engine.

The Carnival hybrid uses the 1.6t, the Telluride will have the 2.5t. I want to say the Palisade is the only Hyundai/Kia vehicle with this setup at the moment. The Telluride will use the non-hybrid 2.5t as a base engine where the Palisade went with a 3.5 V6.

While I think the 3.8 does a good job moving my 24 Telluride, the new powertrains will be an improvement.

I ordered a 2021 Telluride and still drive it. I've enjoyed it and if I were looking for a new vehicle I'd buy another.

Thanks, guys.

Has the new power train been announced for the 27's?

2.5t and an 8 speed is the base and 2.5t hybrid with a 6 speed is optional. Saw an article this week mentioning the hybrid could cost an additional $4,700.

My wife has the '25 Telluride (not the hybrid). She loves it.

We got the X-Line because I wanted some level of off-road capability for where we live.

She's coming from a Cadillac XT5 so this is a great tweener between your typical mid-size SUV and a full size SUV.

But Kia fan, but personally not a fan of the Telluride redesign. Feels like they're trying too hard with the styling. Front end is awful.

Not a big fan of the front end but overall a big fan of the rest of the design.
