The 2020 Kia Telluride Beats the 2019 Honda Pilot
The 2020 Kia Telluride is a brand new model that promises excitement and new experiences even when the pavement ends. Boasting more aggressive styling, power, space, and a wealth of technologies, the Telluride leaves the 2019 Honda Pilot in its dust.The Telluride Outperforms the Pilot at Every Turn
For starters, the Kia Telluride comes with a 3.8L V6 engine that pumps out an impressive 291 HP and can tow up to 5,000 lbs.; while the 2019 Honda Pilot comes with a 3.5L V6 engine that lumbers behind with only 280 HP and can only tow 3,500 lbs.Get More Space, More Comfort & More Tech with the 2020 Telluride
On the inside, the 2020 Kia Telluride offers more legroom for both first and second row passengers, which means more comfort. Both SUVs offer a generous selection of technology, but the Telluride creates an unmistakable value. For instance, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is a standard feature on the Telluride, but you'd have to pay more or choose a higher trim to get it on the Pilot.Kia Offers a Superior Peace of Mind with the Best Warranty
On top of this, the Telluride includes the outstanding confidence of the Kia warranty. You'll enjoy a 5-year/60,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty and a 10-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Warranty on the Telluride. In contrast, the Honda Pilot comes with around half of that - offering only a 3-Year/36,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper and a 5-Year/60,000-Mile Powertrain.
 The 2020 Kia Telluride Outshines the 2019 Toyota Highlander
The 2020 Kia Telluride is stunning and simply outshines and outperforms the 2019 Toyota Highlander from every angle.The Telluride Boasts More Power & Better Performance
Under the hood, the Highlander's standard 2.7L 4-cylinder engine produces a mere 185 HP and 185 lb.-ft. of torque, which is no match for the Kia Telluride's 3.8L V6 engine that pumps out an impressive 291 HP and 262 lb.-ft. of torque. While the Telluride will confidently tow most of your toys up to 5,000 lbs. - the Highlander's standard LE trim can only tow 1,500 lbs., which means it can't even start a conversation.Size Really Does Matter - More Interior Space in the 2020 Telluride
While both SUVs offer a stunning interior, you can stretch out just the way you want in the Telluride. It offers an impressive 58.9 inches of front hip room and 61.6 inches of shoulder room. You and your passengers would find yourselves a bit cramped in the Highlander because you would only have 57.2 inches of hip room and 59.3 inches of shoulder room.Enhanced Comfort and Convenience of the Telluride
If you're planning on welcoming friends and family with you in your new Kia Telluride, it includes a range of thoughtful features and technology. While each model includes a brilliant 8-inch touchscreen display, you may have to squint to see the controls on the Highlander's 6.1-inch display.ÂIn contrast,
you'll have no problem easily navigating the standard 8-inch infotainment
system screen in the Telluride. In addition, the Kia Telluride features three
12V power outlets, so everyone can stay charged and connected; while the
Highlander only has two 12V power outlets.
