2021 Kia Telluride Review

Kia Telluride: Towing & Capability

The 291-horsepower 3.8L V6 engine under the hood of the 2021 Kia Telluride delivers 5,000 pounds of maximum towing capacity, which is enough to haul oversized toys like a small hard-side RV or recreational boat. With that kind of capability in your wheelhouse, you’ll take all your family vacations and day trips up a few notches in no time.

Seating & Comfort in the 2021 Kia Telluride

When it comes to seating, the Kia Telluride offers room for eight passengers to stretch out. It also comes standard with SOFINO Leatherette trim and offers an optional refined Nappa leather seat trim.

To match with either of these seat trims, this stylish SUV features a standard leather-wrapped steering wheel. For an even more fashionable interior, you can also upgrade to wood grain interior accents.

Kia Telluride: Sound, Silence, & Color

To help you access your navigation and infotainment systems on the fly, the Kia Telluride offers an intuitive and convenient 10.25-inch touchscreen. You can pair this enlarged display with the optional 10-speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Audio System with Clari-Fi™ restoration technology that transports you straight to the front row of your favorite shows.

The concert experience really comes together when you turn on the available 64-color interior mood lighting that immerses you in an artful blend of both sound and color. At the same time, if back-seat riders are sleeping, you can easily switch on the optional Quiet Mode to quickly direct the tunes to play only in the first row.

2021 Kia Telluride: Safe & Secure

To keep you and your precious cargo safe, the Kia Telluride also comes standard with an array of safety and driver-assistive features, such as the following, and more:

• Safe Exit Assist (SEA) only allows back-seat passengers to exit the vehicle when it is safe to do so.
• Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist (RCCA) sends audio and visual warnings if it detects something or someone behind you while you’re backing up.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) alerts you if you unintentionally start to swerve out of your lane.

For added safety and convenience, you can choose to upgrade to the Driver Talk feature in the 2021 Kia Telluride. Simply push the corresponding button and your voice will be amplified, so passengers in the second and third rows can hear you clearly.
