Why do you think the Telluride is better than the Palisade? I've just started looking at both cars. Both are nearly identical price... I'm liking the Palisade slightly better due to the placement of components.
A little cheaper, looks better (imho) and supposedly quieter on the road. (The noise portion is based on multiple reviews I read). I did not spend much time in either. If you like one over the other - they are so close - that it should be which-ever one floats your boat. https://www.motortrend.com/cars/kia...sade-vs-2020-kia-telluride-comparison-review/ https://www.caranddriver.com/review.../2020-hyundai-palisade-vs-2020-kia-telluride/ Same frankly about the Nero vs. Kona. A good friend liked the extra space of the Nero so got it as his daily driver. The wife appreciated the smaller body and slightly punchier feel of the Kona - so that's what she got.
A friend of mine bought one but they do not include a spare tire. Inquire about that. I have a Honda Accord and for your budget, buy a used '012. Go to Scotty Kilmer on utube for all the dope. He ranks that model in his top five used cars.
