This May, families and individuals who want the style of a truck and the passenger space of an SUV can enjoy Kia’s latest and largest crossover offering: the 2020 Kia Telluride. The Telluride has middle and rear three-seat benches, bringing its total passenger capacity up to eight. It has a sturdy, truck-like frame, a V-6 engine, standard front-wheel drive, and options for all-wheel drive. Interested in learning more? We’ve answered your top Telluride questions here.
What Is a Crossover Vehicle?
A crossover vehicle like the 2020 Kia Telluride is one that has the roomy build of an SUV but the handling and gas efficiency of a car. Crossover vehicles manage this unique combination through the use of a unibody design, similar to that of a car. With a unibody design, the body and frame of the vehicle are one piece, which lets it moves smoothly. Trucks, in contrast, have a separate chassis, or undercarriage.
What’s on the Exterior?
On the LX model, there are 18-inch alloy wheels with a painted finish, projector headlights, sound-absorbing windshield glass, and a shark-fin antenna. The S model includes 20-inch wheels and a power sunroof. The EX is built for towing, with a 5,000-pound tow capacity and available tow hitch. The Telluride’s EX model also offers a Smart Power Liftgate.
What’s on the Inside?
The Kia Telluride comes with eight seats standard, but there’s also a seven-seat model. The LX model seats have SOFINO leatherette trim, and the steering wheel itself is wrapped in leather. The Telluride is easy to load, thanks to the second-row seats that slide and fold with a single touch. And every high-tech family will be pleased to see five USB charging ports. The S model 2020 Telluride includes heated seats, and the EX model includes ventilated front seats. The EX model also includes an eight-way, power-adjustable passenger’s seat.
What About Safety?
Special safety options available with the Kia Telluride include Rear Occupant Alert sensors that could prevent hot-car deaths by alerting the driver to the presence of children or animals in the rear seats. Other features include an electronically controlled eight-speed automatic transmission and Park Distance Warning–Reverse, which can help reduce the risk of fender benders in everyday use.
How Will It Feel?
The feel of the Telluride is rugged but modern. The truck-like square edges give a sense of strength and power, while the faux wood and aluminum interior provide accenting that looks and feels in line with the times. As a result, this car will be a pleasure for the entire family to drive or ride in.
