Find Your next Hyundai Elantra at Medlin Hyundai

Here at Medlin Hyundai, you can explore the Hyundai Palisade here at our dealership in Rocky Mount. For those across the area, the three-row SUV offers plenty of appeal as it's a reliable vehicle for transporting your cargo and passengers, and offering a smooth ride with many advanced features and amenities. We also know people want to compare it to the competition and vehicles like the Kia Telluride. It's our humble opinion that the Palisade showcases its mettle against the Palisade quite well, which is why we've put together a comparison for you. Compare Technology and Infotainment The Palisade comes standard with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen across more trims than the Telluride. Hyundai’s infotainment system is praised for its intuitive interface and crisp graphics. Additionally, the Palisade offers USB-C ports in all three rows, a digital rearview mirror, and remote smart parking assist—features not universally available on the Telluride. Compare All-Wheel Drive Accessibility For buyers seeking all-wheel drive, the Palisade offers a lower entry price. The AWD Palisade SE starts at $39,200, compared to the Telluride LX AWD at $41,2901. This makes the Palisade a friendly option for those in colder climates or who need extra traction, which we know for many in areas like Greenville, Cary and Wake Forest it is a key consideration. Compare Fuel Economy The Palisade edges out the Telluride slightly in fuel efficiency with the following numbers: Palisade FWD: 19 city / 26 highway mpg Telluride FWD: 20 city / 26 highway mpg Palisade AWD: 19 city / 24 highway mpg Telluride AWD: 18 city / 23 highway mpg While the difference is minor, it can add up over time, especially for frequent drivers commuting to work or traveling outside the area to enjoy all North Carolina has to offer. Compare Interior Luxury and Design While both SUVs offer upscale interiors, the Palisade leans more toward a luxury aesthetic. The Calligraphy and Calligraphy Night Edition trims feature quilted Nappa leather, ambient lighting, and a more refined dashboard layout. With the Kia Telluride, you'll find many standout features, but also a bit more utilitarian vibes, making the Palisade the right choice for those who want added premium feel. Additionally, the Palisade is often praised for its superior sound insulation and premium materials, especially in higher trims. The Telluride, while still upscale, has a slightly more rugged interior feel, which may not appeal to those seeking a more refined ambiance.And, if you're looking for many unique features that help enhance the ride, the Palisade has you covered with the likes of: Remote Smart Parking Assist: Allows the vehicle to park itself while the driver stands outside. Ergo-motion driver’s seat: Offers subtle movements to reduce fatigue on long drives. Quiet Mode: Mutes rear speakers for sleeping passengers. Why Choose the 2025 Hyundai Palisade? While the 2025 Kia Telluride remains a top-tier SUV with slightly better pricing and cargo space, the Hyundai Palisade excels in luxury, technology, comfort, and refinement. It’s the better choice for buyers who prioritize a premium driving experience, advanced features, and a more elegant interior.

Let's see how our new Hyundai Santa Fe stacks up against one of its toughest competitors—the Honda Pilot. While both have a great lineup of features, one reason why we're in the business of selling cars is because of the Hyundai Sante Fe. This new Hyundai SUV has everything you and your family will need. Exterior Design When it comes to exterior design, the Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot take very different approaches. The Santa Fe features a sleek, modern look with flowing lines and a bold grille that turns heads on the streets of Rocky Mount. Greenville drivers will appreciate the Santa Fe's stylish LED headlights and taillights. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Exterior Design For the 2025 model year, the Hyundai Santa Fe receives some exciting upgrades to its already eye-catching exterior. A redesigned front fascia with a larger grille and slimmer headlights gives the SUV an even more aggressive and sporty appearance that's sure to impress in Roanoke Rapids. New wheel designs and paint colors provide further opportunities to customize your Santa Fe to your personal style. Honda Pilot Exterior Design In contrast to the Santa Fe, the Honda Pilot has a more traditional, boxy shape that resembles a truck more than a sleek crossover SUV. While some prefer this look, many Cary residents find it outdated and less sophisticated compared to the Santa Fe's modern design language. The Pilot's chrome accents and large grille can come across as excessive and flashy to some. Interior Design Inside the Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot, you'll find two very different interior environments. The Santa Fe offers a refined, upscale cabin with high-quality materials and an intuitive layout that puts every control at your fingertips in Goldsboro. And when it's time to visit family in Wake Forest, your riders will love the spacious and comfortable seating for up to seven. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Interior Design and Upgrades The 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe takes interior comfort and convenience to the next level with available upgrades such as: Premium Nappa leather seating surfaces Heated and ventilated front seats Dual-zone automatic climate control 10.25-inch touchscreen navigation system 12-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio 2025 Honda Pilot Interior Design and Upgrades While the Honda Pilot offers a spacious interior, it lacks the refinement and attention to detail found in the Santa Fe. Plastic surfaces and a cluttered center stack detract from the overall experience. Available upgrades on the Pilot include: Perforated leather seating Heated front seats Tri-zone automatic climate control 8-inch touchscreen audio system 10-speaker premium audio Technology and Safety Today's families demand the latest technology and advanced safety features in their vehicles. The Hyundai Santa Fe delivers an impressive array of standard and available tech that you won't find on the Honda Pilot. During trips to Wilson, you'll have greater peace of mind thanks to the Santa Fe's comprehensive SmartSense safety suite. 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe Technology and Safety Features 12.3-inch fully digital instrument cluster Blind-Spot View Monitor Surround View Monitor Remote Smart Parking Assist Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian, Cyclist, and Junction Turning Detection Highway Driving Assist Honda Pilot Technology and Safety Features Available 9-inch digital instrument cluster display Blind Spot Information System Multi-Angle Rearview Camera Intelligent Traction Management system Collision Mitigation Braking System Road Departure Mitigation System Performance Under the hood, the Hyundai Santa Fe and Honda Pilot offer capable engines and available all-wheel drive for confidence in any conditions. However, the Santa Fe pulls ahead with its superior fuel efficiency and responsive handling compared to the larger, heavier Pilot.

This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, with HTRAC all-wheel drive available. When properly equipped, the Santa Fe achieves an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city/28 mpg highway.

When it comes to choosing the perfect SUV for your family, the 2025 Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride are two top contenders. As a proud Hyundai dealer serving the Rocky Mount area, we at Medlin Hyundai are here to give you our honest opinion on how these two SUVs stack up against each other. Exterior Design: First Impressions Matter Let's face it, when you're rolling up to soccer practice in Greenville or heading out for a weekend getaway from Roanoke Rapids, you want an SUV that looks the part. The Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride both offer bold, eye-catching designs, but there are some key differences to consider. 2025 Hyundai Palisade Exterior The Palisade boasts a sleek, modern look with its cascading grille, LED headlights, and aerodynamic lines. It's the kind of SUV that turns heads as you cruise through Cary or Goldsboro, making you feel like the coolest parent on the block. Kia Telluride Exterior The Telluride, on the other hand, has a more rugged, boxy appearance that some may prefer. However, we think the Palisade's refined styling gives it a slight edge in the looks department, especially for those Wake Forest families who appreciate a touch of sophistication. Interior Design: Comfort and Convenience Of course, it's what's on the inside that really counts, and both the Palisade and Telluride offer spacious, well-appointed interiors. But when it comes to keeping your crew comfortable on those long drives to Wilson, the Palisade has a few tricks up its sleeve. 2025 Hyundai Palisade Interior The Palisade's interior is simply luxurious, with available features like: Nappa leather seating Heated and ventilated front and second-row seats Dual sunroofs Premium audio system Plus, with its spacious third row and ample cargo space, there's room for all your kids' sports gear, camping equipment, or whatever else your family adventures require. 2025 Kia Telluride Interior The Telluride also offers a comfortable interior with available upgrades like: Leather seating Heated and ventilated front seats Dual sunroofs Harman Kardon audio system While the Telluride's interior is certainly nice, we think the Palisade's added touches of refinement give it a more upscale feel. Technology and Safety: Keeping Your Family Connected and Protected Let's be real, when you're wrangling a car full of kids, you need all the help you can get. That's where the Palisade's advanced technology and safety features come in clutch, whether you're navigating the streets of Rocky Mount or hitting the highway for a family road trip. 2025 Hyundai Palisade Technology and Safety The Palisade offers an impressive array of tech and safety features, including: 12.3-inch touchscreen display with navigation Android Auto and™ Apple CarPlay® compatibility Hyundai Digital Key Blind-Spot View Monitor Highway Driving Assist Safe Exit Assist With these features, you can stay connected, entertained, and most importantly, safe on the road. Kia Telluride Technology and Safety The Telluride also offers a range of tech and safety features, such as: 10.25-inch touchscreen display with navigation Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® compatibility Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist Highway Driving Assist While the Telluride's offerings are solid, we think the Palisade's larger screen and additional safety features give it an advantage in this category. Performance: Power and Efficiency Finally, let's talk about what's under the hood. Both the Palisade and Telluride offer capable powertrains that can handle everything from the daily school run to weekend adventures. But when it comes to fuel efficiency and overall performance, the Palisade has a few advantages. Hyundai Palisade Fuel Economy and Drivetrain The Palisade is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and offers available all-wheel drive for added traction and stability. And with an EPA-estimated 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway, the Palisade is surprisingly fuel-efficient for a vehicle of its size. Kia Telluride Fuel Economy and Drivetrain The Telluride also features a 3.8-liter V6 engine, but it's slightly less powerful at 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It's also paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and offers available all-wheel drive. The Telluride's fuel economy is slightly lower than the Palisade's, with an EPA-estimated 20 mpg city/26 mpg highway. While both SUVs offer capable performance, we think the Palisade's slightly more powerful engine and better fuel efficiency give it an edge in this category. The Verdict: Hyundai Palisade Wins the Battle After comparing the exterior design, interior comfort, technology and safety features, and performance of the 2025 Hyundai Palisade and Kia Telluride, we at Medlin Hyundai believe the Palisade comes out on top.
