Midsize SUVs are as popular as ever, but the thought of researching several makes and models to choose the best one is indeed a daunting process. We are here to make it easy for you by introducing a model we think all drivers will love, the Kia Telluride. This up-and-coming model has already garnered a lot of attention and admiration from owners and automotive critics. But there is no need just to take our word for that––a little research discovered that the Kia Telluride has been ranked #1 in midsize SUVs by U.S. News and World Report. This is impressive in itself, but even more so, considering this ranking was for the first-generation model. As for the future of the Kia Telluride, the sky’s the limit.

It’s not far-fetched to assume that safety features are on the top of the list when searching for the perfect midsize SUV. After all, anything that will help prevent an accident and boost confidence when you drive is sure to provide the peace of mind any driver deserves. The Kia Telluride offers superior safety features specifically designed to help prevent potential crashes, keep passengers protected in the event of a crash, and driver-assist technologies that keep everybody safe and secure. It is of little wonder that the Kia Telluride was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Everything You Should Know About the Telluride

Of the many reasons people gravitate to midsize SUVs, one of the top motivations is a roomy interior. Most midsize SUVs seat up to seven passengers, the Kia Telluride seats eight. As impressive as that is, there is still plenty of cargo space to store groceries, sports equipment, and anything else you need to pack into your Telluride. And with a simple push of a button, the second row of seats fold over to give you even more storage options. So whether you are transporting several passengers or a large amount of gear, the Kia Telluride will accommodate both.

It’s important not to overlook performance when choosing the right midsize SUV. The Kia Telluride delivers in the performance segment with the highly-rated V6 engine, which is plenty of power to efficiently and effectively get you from point A to point B. The Kia Telluride also offers drive modes that will take your driving experience to the next level. You can also opt for all-wheel drive, which will help get you through less than ideal driving conditions.

Lastly, the Kia Telluride might be a great family vehicle, but it still looks sporty and catches the eye. We understand that style and appearance often aren’t important when choosing a family SUV, but face it; you still want to look good in the vehicle you drive. The defined angles and sleek curves of the Kia Telluride, in addition to an aggressive-looking grille, exudes class and will turn heads as you are driving it down the road.

The 2021 Kia Telluride

Kia introduced the Telluride in 2020, so it makes perfect sense that there are not too many changes in store for the 2021 model. That said, there are a few compelling additions. In addition to two new paint colors, Sangria and Black Copper, the key fob now allows remote starting, which is great if you want to have the SUV warmed and ready to go on those cool mornings. There is also a Nightfall package that includes 20-inch wheels and a black grille, which gives the 2021 Telluride a bolder, street-savvy look.

Family road trips are a part of life; whether visiting relatives in another state or enjoying a trip to your favorite camping site, there will be times you and your family spend a lot of time on the road. It’s a good thing that the Kia Telluride boasts enough room for you and your family to stretch out and feel free and comfortable. Passengers in the front seats enjoy just over 41 inches of legroom, the passengers in the second row of seats enjoy even more legroom, with 42.4 inches of space to stretch out their legs. The third row of seating offers 31.4 inches of legroom, which is ideal for the children. Family trips are quite enjoyable when all passengers have the space they need to do their own thing and not bother anybody else.

Speaking of family road trips, it is important to ensure all passengers can plug in and keep their electronic devices charged. Nothing will ruin a trip quicker than an uncharged smartphone that won’t keep your children occupied. Depending on the trim, the Kia Telluride offers either five or six USB ports, which ensures all passengers can stay plugged in and fully charged. Additionally, the Kia Telluride offers either an eight-inch touchscreen or a 10.25-inch touchscreen with standard Smartphone connectivity and Bluetooth.

As we mentioned earlier, the Kia Telluride offers plenty of power under the hood with a 3.8-liter V6 with an impressive 291 horsepower. It is a setup that allows you to go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds. And while that won’t win you any races at the speedway, it is quite enough to get you where you need to go in a short amount of time. It is also enough power to tow your favorite toys to your weekend adventure destinations. Whether for work or play, the 2021 Telluride boasts a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds.
