- Retric 4y agoPilot’s length, width, and height are within an inch of each other that seems like the same size category to me. 2022 Telluride is 196.9“ X 78.3” X 68.9” 2022 Honda Pilot is 196.5” X 78.6” X 70.6” and a slightly more expensive MSRP. The RAV4 is noticeably smaller and cheaper, but still an SUV and seemed like a useful benchmark. PS: They sold 75,129 in 2020, and 58,604 in 2019, so I don’t think they expected it to tank to 50k in 2021. Still probably supply limited in 2021 but so was just about every car company.
- linsomniac 4y agoThe RAV4 is a behemoth, having sold over 10 million over the years. Yes, the RAV4 is a benchmark to compare the Telluride to, but they ARE in both different cost brackets and categories. Pilot seems to be a better benchmark. Another useful benchmark is that for 2021, Toyota global sales were almost 9.6M, Kia was almost 2.8M. Honda Pilot is a Midsize Crossover SUV, like the Telluride, and had 2021 sales of 143K in the US. Honda global sales were 4.5M in 2021. So the Telluride can still be a success for Kia, while selling a fraction of the units of the RAV4
