Thought it would be pertinent here as it is so closely related to the Palisade. The Telluride SX missed Top Safety Pick+ because the LED high beam headlights did not reach as far as the IIHS standards on a straightaway. The trims with halogen lights were rated poor for the headlight portion with neither low nor high beams meeting the IIHS standards. The child seat anchors were judged too far back in the seats.

It received the highest marks for all of the crash tests.

Let's hope the Palisade headlights are better, and the crash worthiness retains the highest marks when the Palisade ratings are completed. I think the child seat demerits will stay with the Palisade as the seats appear to have the same underpinnings.
