2027 hybrid X-Line SX Prestige
I am LOVING my new Telluride. I have had her for a week and a half now.
I am coming from owning a 2021 Palisade Calligraphy & and a 2025 Palisade Calligraphy Night Edition (which was totalled when we were rear-ended on the interstate 3ish weeks ago)
I LOVED my Pallisades. Like LOVED LOVED.. I hated the look of the 2026 and didn't want to search to find a comparable 2025 Night Edition.
The hubs talked me into looking at the Telluride.. I wasn't sold at first, didn't like the look of the front bumper in photos I had seen and hated the ugly x-line wheels (why they didn't just keep the sx prestige wheels is beyond me).
But I agreed to test drive one.. He even shockingly suggested the hybrid (he has always been anti ev/hybrid, he works for an oil company lol). And it helped that when we walked in to the dealership, we find out that my hyundai guy, who sold me my last 4 cars, is now their sales manager.
This car is so much quieter than my Palisade. And not just the engine, the road noise. The digital key is 100X better than the Pali. I don't have to put it on the charger for it to start the car or take it out of my purse to unlock the door. The wireless chargers are hands down better than my Palisade. I only used it for the digital key to work. The audio is also WAY better. This thing actually has bass, my night edition was lacking, even with their little "boost". This thing thumps, even with only a 10" Sub. (Much to my husband's chagrin). The lane/drive assist also works way better than my Palisade. And the lane assist info in the HUD is better then the Pali.
There are only a handful of things I don't necessarily love. The weird screen with the climate controls, you can't see it behind the steering wheel, it's pointless to me. The manual folding 3rd row. And, the ugly ass x-line wheels.
