Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Palisade than in the Kia EV6. The Hyundai Palisade will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia EV6.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Palisade will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Kia EV6.

Dimensions
Since the Hyundai Palisade is much wider than the Kia EV6, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Hyundai Palisade, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia EV6.

Handling
The Hyundai Palisade has the same turning radius as the Kia EV6, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When considering towing capacity, the Hyundai Palisade is clearly the choice over the Kia EV6 for pulling heavy loads. The Hyundai Palisade has a little less horsepower than the Kia EV6.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Hyundai Palisade does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia EV6.

Utility
The Hyundai Palisade offers greater seating capacity than the Kia EV6, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Hyundai Palisade, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia EV6.
