For those still debating between the Telluride and the Palisade (like me), Hyundai Canada has (most of? The multimedia section may be incomplete) the Palisade Owner’s Manual posted! (You can all congratulate me for winning the Internet today. ) I glanced through everything quickly, and here's what I noticed so far...

- The Palisade and Telluride are indeed 99.5% the same vehicle. The manuals are nearly the same, although Kia’s design is more modern.

- Kia's key fob looks cooler.

- The Palisade will have 4-way lumbar support available.

- I did not see any mention of being able to customize the digital gauges outside of the same MID options available on the Telluride. This would be a MAJOR disappointment. I hope I’m wrong on this one.

Overall, I’m not seeing much difference between the Pally and the Telly. I still have to wait for a full Pally spec list and pricing before making a decision, but if those digital gauges are indeed not customizable, I may be going with the Telluride. While I do think the Palisade's interior is a bit nicer than the Palisade's, the Telluride's exterior is A LOT nicer than the Palisade's. Then when you figure the Telluride has a bit more space, a bit better MPG, and a 99.9% chance it has a bit lower price than than the Palisade, and the decision just got tougher for me...

Hype is real! The announcement should be coming soon!

Did some searching around to see what dealers in Canada are reporting and there's nothing yet. There was an independent site advertising a leasing term (probably a guesstimate).

Has anyone in Canada spoken to their dealers?

No info on pricing or release date for Canada. But, it looks like dealers are starting to get them and give out little tidbits to hype it up. 1 was already stolen from a dealer! He estimates they'll start selling them in Canada end of May or early June. Biggest news is that they're already taking orders! I wonder if the US is doing the same.

Sometimes those are early versions from corporate that get sent around before customer allocations.
On that point, has anyone asked their dealers about initial allocations?

I spoke to the dealer here in Ajax, Ontario and he told me that they are not going to be available for test drive until end of June or first week of July. They also don't have any pricing info yet. He also told me that financing rates will probably be about 3.99% for the first few months as the car is new, but should drop over time.

Did you get a call about a test drive? I was told mid-July but got a call this evening and will be testing tomorrow. Will provide details once I'm done.

I didn't get a call yet. Maybe I will call them if they have already called you.
