Unlike many rival three-row SUVs, the Telluride is only offered with a V-6 powertrain. 2022 Kia Telluride Debuts with New Logo, More Tech.2023 Telluride: New X-Line, X-Pro Trims, More Tech.
The Telluride boasts 8.0 inches of ground clearance for off-road excursions, and it can tow up to 5500 pounds. Brakes are excellent and the steering is precise with a nice heft to its feel. A self-leveling rear air suspension is also available. The Telluride's ride is on the firm side, with harsh pavement sometimes throwing the three-row SUV off its intended path. However, the big Kia didn't feel as responsive to throttle inputs at lower speeds as did some of its turbocharged rivals. The top-of-the-line Telluride SX we tested sped to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. Its engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that feeds the front wheels in the standard format-all-wheel drive is also optional across the board. Under the hood of every Telluride is a naturally aspirated V-6 that makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. Those who want the added sense of security that comes with all-wheel drive can have it for an extra $2000. The SX comes standard with high-end features including a 12-way power driver's seat, black-painted 20-inch rims, a Harman/Kardon stereo, front and rear sunroofs, and second-row captain's chairs. It delivers a near-luxury experience with all the bells and whistles at a still reasonable price. We can't resist recommending the SX trim.
