The 2020 Kia Telluride is a Not-Boring, Really Bold Three-Row Crossover
Kia is going big with its new Telluride three-row SUV, both literally and figuratively. It will be the biggest crossover in Kia's lineup, positioned above the (also three-row) Sorento. Upon this larger canvas Kia has painted bold styling that deviates little from that of the bold Telluride concept car from a few years ago.

Final specifications are forthcoming, but Kia says the Telluride is several inches longer and wider than the Sorento. It'll hold up to eight people, while the Sorento can only hold seven between its two front seats, three-across second-row bench, and its admittedly tight two-place third-row seat. That means you can expect the Telluride's third row (which reclines) to accommodate three humans, although a seven-seat version with captain's chairs in the second row will be available.
Beyond its extra size, the Telluride also is far more distinctive than the Sorento, with interesting head- and taillight designs and a boxy, trucklike silhouette. The interior brings a Mercedes GLE vibe, with double grab handles on the center console and an optional 10.3-inch touchscreen. The optional quilted nappa leather is real, but the aluminum and matte wood are phony. Regardless, it's a handsome interior.
The Telluride uses a single engine and transmission, a 3.8-liter V-6 shared with the Palisade that sends 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is optional and varies the torque split from 100 percent in front to a 65/35 split in sport mode. A self-leveling rear air suspension is also optional. Plenty of driver assists will be optional, including sensors that detect if children or pets are left behind in the back rows and a lockout feature for the rear doors in case a fast-moving object approaches too close.
