Adopted from a ski resort in Colorado, the Telluride’s name leaves you in no doubt as to whom Kia has in its sights: the adventure-loving modern family, millennial or otherwise, so beloved of marketeers. It’s 200mm (8in) longer, 100mm (4in) wider and 65mm (2.5in) taller than its older sibling and is wrapped in distinctive sheet-metal that cuts a squarer profile than some of its rivals. ![]() Kia is pitching the Telluride at buyers who want more space and more luxury than the Sorento can offer, and the Telluride delivers in both size and style. ![]() Putting the Telluride SX to the test Exterior styling AWD is standard across the range in Canada but a US$2,000 option in the US. On both sides of the border, all models are powered by the same, 3.8-litre V6 that makes 291 hp. The range starts with the LX at US$31,690 and rises through the S (20in wheels, captain’s chair second row) and EX (highway driving assist, wireless charging) to the fully loaded SX for US$41,490. In the US, life is a little more complex, but not much. It’s a simple range and in a refreshing change from some other auto makers, there are no packages on offer either, just practical accessories such as a roof box or cargo tray. The lineup rises through our SX test vehicle (C$49,995) to the SX Limited (C$53,995). The Canadian range starts at C$44,995 for the EX trim, which is around C$16k more than the cheapest Sorento – Kia’s existing, smaller three-row SUV, which continues to be sold. ![]() 2020 Kia Telluride price in North America Telluride pricing in Canada starts at $44,995 for the EX Three-row, mid-size SUVs are as mainstream as it gets in 2019 and Kia is going head to head with long-established heavyweights like the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, Nissan Pathfinder and Toyota Highlander. Now the new Telluride applies that focus to the heart of the North American market, rather than to a performance niche.Īdopted from a ski resort in Colorado, the Telluride’s name leaves you in no doubt as to whom Kia has in its sights: the adventure-loving modern family, millennial or otherwise, so beloved of marketeers. The Stinger announced to the world that Kia can make a great job of just about any car it chooses.
