      KIA lose 60% of its value after 6 year of ownership.
      toyota only lose 30-40% of its value after 10 years of ownership.

    Joe your reviews are always the Best. I bought a GH limited hybrid in May 2024 and could not be happier. It is so quiet and comfortable and gas consumption is less than my last Honda Civic. It was worth waiting for 6 months to get the regular hybrid just to be on safer side than a turbo 4 cylinder. One of my friend has a 2021 Highlander V6 and I drive that so many times, surprisingly the power is almost the same on this hybrid. I am very satisfied with my purchase. I watched your video last year when GH was launched. Love from Canada.

    • @jamesbreda8213
      @jamesbreda8213 5 місяців тому +1

      The Hybrid MAX is not the same as a traditional Hybrid system. A traditional Hybrid is offered on the XLE and Limited models though. I got the Hybrid Limited and I’ve averaged nearly 31 mpg for my first 11k miles and have seen as high as 42 for a single trip.
      The hybrid MAX drivetrain had an electric motor between the engine and transmission to add power. This is more for acceleration than fuel economy. It is similar to or same as the hybrid systems on the Tundra, Tacoma, and Crown.

    Hybrid and 4 cylinder turbo. Yes, it gives you 26 mpg, but it will also give you a headache in the long run. Plus, out the door 65K! Does not add up. You are paying the premium upfront by having a hybrid instead of paying on gas money in the long run and taking risks.

    LOVE the MPG's 32-36 over-all. Love the xtra space and would purchase again, (unless I will the lottery:)
    4 months old, 10,000 miles and so far, trouble free (as well is should be). A bit more of a test coming up in the following months. Short trip to NY, then 3 weeks later a trip from Maine to Indianapolis and back, (about 10+ days) then 9 days later a trip to NY, OH, IN, WI, MI, NY and back to Maine (about 21 - 22 days). This long trip is with friends, so that should be a real good test of it for practicality as a traveling SUV. Expect to get 26-30 MPG on this trip, anything more I'll see as a bonus.

    I'd take the Telluride. Both the Palisade and Telluride indirectly urged Toyota to make the Grand Highlander, as they were tough competition for the Highlander. By the way, the Telluride is still selling, unlike the GH and TX🤌🏼

      I prefer to have my window intact instead of being shattered. Multiple Kia thieves out there. They’ll brake your windows and realize they can’t steal it and now you’re stuck with the hassle of getting a window replaced.

      @@ALBA_809 Hondas don’t have that issue. Have you ever heard of the Honda boys recently? There are Kia boys and it’s a well known fact that they steal hundreds of kias. Why would I buy a Kia if I run that risk? Honda, Acura, Toyota, Ford, Chevy, etc don’t have to that problem. Kias can also have the issues you mentioned in addition to the Kia boys destroying your ride because they think they could steal it. My buddy had a Kia and its windows have been broken into 4 times.

      Actually! Toyota and Honda suffer more vandalism than Kia and Hyundai.
      Honda vehicles are way more insecure and prone to get stolen; in 2021 NYPD found a warehouse full of stolen CR-V, ranging from various years and across all trim levels, including the ones equipped with push-start.
      Korean vehicles affected are limited to only a few years and basic trim levels, equipped with regular key-start; the Korean automakers are fixing the problem, unlike Honda.
      Honda has recalls for their stolen front radars and for their easy to steal mirrors.
      Your friend just lives in a bad neighborhood or has indirect beef with someone; the brand isn’t the problem.
