Interior
One of the first things customers will note regarding this Telluride is how great it is to drive for this cost. The space is plentiful that offers plenty of head and leg space across all three rows. Big windows, as well as sometimes the double sunroof can give the impression of an open and airy cabin.
The seats are comfortable Second-row captain’s chairs can be equipped with ventilation and heating for those who prefer them over benches. Additionally, the seat itself appears and feels luxurious.
The dash design is straightforward however elegant, and the infotainment system is situated close to the driver’s seat so interactions are more efficient and quick than they were in the past, which was placed further from the driver. It also has the benefit of high-quality switchgear. The cargo space is adequate with 21 cubic feet of space behind the third row. It can be a capacity of up to 87 cubic feet in the event that seats are removed from the way. A 110-volt outlet that is similar to a household one can also be found.
Technology is another high-quality feature of the Telluride because even the base model comes with a speedy and simple 12.3-inch infotainment technology. The standard audio system includes six speakers, however, the 10-speaker system of Harman/Kardon is available. Customers can add wireless charging for devices and a liftgate that is hands-free and a surround-view camera as well as a heads-up display as well as a huge 12.3-inch digital driver display as well.
Kia also has a feature that amplifies the voice of the driver on the third and second rows in order to facilitate communication and be more secure. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are both available, however, they both require wired connections. This is probably the only issue we have.
Safety is a top priority, Kia fits every Telluride with an array of excellent options, including adaptive cruise control blind spot warning and forward collision mitigation, and lane-keeping assist. Drivers who want to have more advanced aids will be able to get them by using Kia’s Highway Driving Assist 2, a semi-autonomous device that keeps the speed of the vehicle and lane, and changes lanes at the command. The NHTSA or the IIHS has made public any safety information for the 2024 version of Telluride however it is worth noting that the 2023 model is considered a Top Safety Pickplus.

Specs
The engine that powers every Telluride there is a 3.8-liter V6 engine that produces 262 lb-ft of torque. This power gets transferred to the front and the rear wheels through an 8-speed auto transmission. It’s a basic but sturdy vehicle that can compete in an extremely competitive segment. The EPA claims that it’ll achieve around 19 mpg when in urban areas and 24 mpg on the highway, that’s a bit lower than normal, but still not bad considering the dimensions and weight of the Telluride. The coming Kia EV9 should make the environmentally conscious extremely happy.
The area where the Kia shines is in the roadway. Although it’s not the most athletic SUV, it does offer great feedback, good acceleration, and outstanding stopping ability. We love that the steering feels soft at slower speeds and gradually increases the resistance with increasing speeds.
