Styling of the Toyota Highlander looks so much better but the interior design and layout of the Telluride looks more functional and I like the upright design better. Are they still using the ancient 3.8? If so…that is cool as there are no more big V6s out there anymore. (My 4.0L is so awesome compared to the tiny motors of today)

Saw my first commercial for the Telluride on TV last night and it looked ok.
So I watched some short clips on youtube and thought interior was a little cheap looking maybe, or maybe It's just me.
Btw, what the heck is Nappa leather?
Is that code word for fake leather or is it real leather.
Whatever Nappa leather is the Telluride has it.

Nappa leather is a high grade of full grain semi-aniline leather tanned in a special process. The seats in both of my cars are Nappa leather, its very nice. The tanning company that developed it was based in Napa California which is where it gets its name, so Jill was kinda right lol

The interior is one of the main selling points. It's better than most of its mainstream competition.

Correct, it offers the most space, especially the third-row vs the competition. It has a lot of features, like second-row heated and cooled seats, HUD, for the price that is about $52k MSRP for the top trim. For that it’s a bargain vs the competition and has been short in supply since 6 months after it began selling. Even before Covid it was getting ADM on it.

The only problems I'm aware of by reading the forums are:
-Exploding sunroofs while driving
-Vibration in the driveline at highway speeds. Very hard to notice and most people likely never notice or ignore it. There is a TSB for its Hyundai cousin but with Telluride seems to be an ongoing issue.
