Very happy with this SUV

We have owned our Canadian SX model for 4 months only, so no comments on reliability. We feel it is just the right size, not as long as a minivan (thus reasonable to parallel park in a tight spot) but yet plenty of cargo room (with 3rd row folded down). Very roomy cabin for all passengers, and comfortable seats. V6 engine is plenty powerful , and shifting from transmission is very smooth. Ride and handling are very good (even with larger 20” tires) for mid-sized suv. Fantastic safety features - really like the lane keep assist ( not obtrusive, smooth adjustments), blind view camera in display (showing blind spot and area behind when signalling), backup alert warning when something crossing behind ( audible warning plus vibration in steering wheel), and helpful surround view camera when parking. The ignition start/stop can be bothersome, but we are able to turn off this feature when not wanted. Very competitively priced compared to competition. Interior and exterior styling are quite good imo. Like being able to use our iPhones to start, lock, honk horn, check status etc. Longer warranty than competition. Hwy mileage has been better than epa ( we’ve ranged from 8.0 to 9.2 L’s/100 ( 26-29 mpg); and City gas mileage has been around epa rating. Overall, very happy thus far.

Best car ive owned

Met all needs, great leg room, plenty of storage space, roomy enough for 4 kids all in carseats/boosters. good on gas. Love the 4 driving modes. the color is great, and different. There have been two minor flaws to the vehicle like overheating and back door opening while driving. Not sure what cause both issues but they havent presented themselves again.

Great vehicle but some minor issues

The Telluride EX was the nicest drive over all the other SUVs with a third row that I test drove. It drives like a car, not an SUV plus it looks great. The only issue I have is that the second row seats are contoured in a way that makes booster seats very tight and difficult to secure the seatbelt. The sides of the seats angle upwards making the boosters overlap the where the seatbelt clicks in (we have two different brands of boosters). Fortunately, the kids will eventually grow out of the boosters and if it handles great in the snow, I anticipate keeping it for a very long time. Also, be aware that the EX does not come with front sensors (a negative in my opinion- they should come standard).

Amazed!!!

This SUV is absolutely incredible. I have never taken Kia into consideration when thinking of purchasing a new vehicle the Telluride. The Telluride is definitely a head turner. I’m a huge Honda & Toyota fan and always said I’d never go out of the 2 manufactures but the Telluride stole the show. Soooo many features for the price & such an exceptional drive

So good! Luxury feel.

The Kia Telluride is great. We travel a lot and have busy kids, and this vehicle fits all our needs (and sports equipment!). The Telluride has a smooth luxurious feel with all the tech you could want. We also have a boat, and the Telluride will be able to tow it no problem. I look forward to driving this vehicle for years and years to come!

Best car I’ve ever owned

My only regret on this purchase is not purchasing it sooner! This vehicle has all the bells and whistles and I am not disappointed, I will purchase again.

Luxurious and reliable for a good price

Tons of safety features, good tech, nice interior details, enormous storage area, no down side so far. The rear windshield washer drips a bit so will get that checked out but everything else has worked flawlessly.

First new car and best I have had so far !

Car is more bang for your buck /features and not the big price tag . Needed a third row and this was one of the options we had been looking at test drove it and not only did I love it but so did my kids and my other half . Mike Murphy in Brunswick went over and beyond.

Luxury all the way. Comfort all the way.

This suv meets all my needs. Plenty of legroom in the second and third row. The ride is smooth with plenty of pickup. I love all the features. Sound system is top quality. I truly recommend the Telluride sx 6v.
