The Telluride is the vehicle that changed how Americans see Kia. When it arrived for the 2020 model year, its upright, squared-off styling, upscale cabin and sensible price made it an instant sensation, with dealers marking up their limited supply and buyers waiting months for delivery. It was named World Car of the Year in 2020, piled up other awards and became a status symbol of sorts in suburban driveways, an unusual achievement for a brand once known mainly for inexpensive compacts.
The Telluride was designed with the American market in mind, styled in California and built at Kia's factory in West Point, Georgia. The first generation used a V6 engine and offered seating for seven or eight, with a refresh adding rugged X-Line and X-Pro trims for buyers with outdoor ambitions. The second generation, launched for the 2027 model year, kept the boxy theme but added a more modern interior and, for the first time, a hybrid powertrain, which has earned strong early reviews for its combination of power and efficiency.
The Telluride competes with the Hyundai Palisade, its corporate cousin, as well as the Toyota Grand Highlander, Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-90, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Traverse. Its strengths include style, space, comfort and value; its weaknesses, according to critics, include the first generation's fuel economy and some quality concerns. Recall notices have affected the model, including one that advised hundreds of thousands of owners to park outside because of a fire risk until repairs were made.
Coverage includes first drives and comparison tests of the new generation and its hybrid, pricing and trim announcements, special editions such as the X-Pro, recall notices and sales results. Look for safety ratings and crash-test news, buying advice on which model years to seek out or avoid, and the inevitable comparisons with the Palisade, the closely related rival from the other side of the Hyundai Motor Group family, and a reminder that the toughest competitor either SUV faces may be its own sibling.
Kia's three-row breakout hit, the boxy Georgia-built SUV that won over America's suburbs, now in a second generation with hybrid power.
