Kia Telluride
Model Overview
The Telluride is Kia's message to the world that it is no longer a bit player in the auto industry. This is a mid-size SUV whose imposing presence projects a serious upscale vibe. A beautifully finished cabin has room for adults in all three rows of seating, while a compliant ride keeps everyone comfortable. And, as usual, Kia offers buyers exceptional value for their money, undercutting much of the mid-size utility competition.
