Advantages of the 2020 Kia Telluride over the 2020 Honda Pilot
Kia infused the 2020 Telluride with a very high level of safety. Falling asleep behind the wheel is a major cause of motor vehicle accidents — and the Telluride helps address this with the Driver Alert Monitor feature, which sounds an alarm if it detects inattentive driving. The Pilot doesn’t offer a similar feature. The Telluride also comes standard with a Surround-View Monitor, which gives you the ability to see all around the vehicle. The Pilot only offers a rear-view monitor.
Do you want an SUV with a lot of room for passengers? While both SUVs can seat up to eight passengers, the Telluride offers more passenger space, with a total passenger volume of 155.0 cu-ft, compared to 152.9 cu-ft for the Pilot.
