1st model year=awesome.

This suv hit all the right buttons for me. Safety features, comfy features, towing ability, get up and go, roominess and even good looking too!

LOVE THIS SUV

It has plenty of legroom, even for a 6ft 3 man. My husband has broad shoulders and he says even the 2nd row seats accommodate them. The headrests are like clouds

Never thought I'd own a Kia

Great car that is well designed. I was told that Kia hired a designer from Mercedes(?). Drove nice and tight. I live in a Ski town, which it handled really well in the snow/ice conditions.

It is the best car I ever owned

We used to own a Kia Sorento EX V6, 2015. It survived two big accidents, T-bone in 2016 and a rear end in 2019. Due to my previous car accidents, my lower back and shoulders were not in a good shape. After test driving the Kia Telluride SX V6, I noticed a much better experience with car suspensions, comfortable and firm car seats, powerful engine and the latest technology you might need to have a safe drive. Today, we currently have own this SX V6 Telluride since July/2020 . What I can say today is that I have had the most satisfying experience while driving this car. Wherever I go with the car, people ask me about this model. Last week one person asked me what I like and don’t like about my car. All I can say is that it feels and looks like driving a luxury SUV, it has the technology that other SUVs on the road don’t have in the same category. I finally said, after driving this SUV for 13,600 km, I am still thinking what I don’t like about this Telluride .

Nice but everything is an extra cost

Its a nice crossover and drives well. My biggest issue is there starting MSRP is nice and low but they dont make one for the lowest price and you wouldnt want one. Sure the SX starts at 44k but you dont get anything but real leather seats. You need to get all the add ons to make it really nice and by then your up to 50k. Kind of misleading when reading all the reviews giving it high marks for its low price.

Love our Telluride

Wanted specific options in our new car like memory seats, auto start, sun roof and lots of seating. This car had all that and so much more.

Really overpriced for unproven SUV

Roomy and luxury details in important places. KIA yet to prove itself in mid to high end luxury market. In 5 years this vehicle will be another also ran with Tahoe and such. Korea engineering can't compete with Japan.

A tremendous value.

The size is ample. It fits eight people comfortably, and there is plenty of room in the third row. The power and the mileage are excellent.

Subaru ascent ford explorer

I really wanted to love this car. I was unfortunately disappointed. I know I’m in the minority. The handling and drive were rough and not very fun. It felt like I was driving a car with giant off road tires. At times it felt like the car was malfunctioning but it turned out just to be the normal operation of the vehicle. It sure is pretty though.
