2020 KIA Telluride EX

The 2020 Telluride is Kia's largest SUV, a three-row family hauler that slots above the Sorento and competes with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. The Telluride drives with a composed, confident feel, and its steering is well weighted for a big SUV. The ride is comfortable over most surfaces, though the suspension can feel firm over sharp bumps. The cabin is roomy and well built, with comfortable seats across all three rows and generous cargo space behind the third row. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and available Drive Wise safety features. The EX is the sweet spot in the Telluride lineup, adding leather seats, ventilated front seats, and a power liftgate you don't get on the S, while skipping the SX's larger wheels and premium audio. With the 3.8L V6 making 291 horsepower and the all-wheel drive, this EX pulls strongly from a stop and feels confident on the highway, though it returns 21 mpg combined. The EX comes standard with Highway Driving Assist, which combines adaptive cruise control with lane centering for relaxed long-distance cruising.
