The Kia Telluride is a three-row mid-size crossover SUV that handles with surprising ease. Even with a full crew of up to eight people aboard, it has nimble turning and a smooth performance. The Telluride is equipped with a 3.8L V6 engine that delivers 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive capabilities come standard, but all-wheel drive is also optional on all available trims. According to EPA estimates, front-wheel drive models have a combined fuel economy of 22 MPG, while all-wheel drive models still get 20 MPG. When properly equipped, the Telluride has a maximum towing capacity of 5,500 pounds. Self-leveling suspension, available only on certain trims, distributes weight evenly to compensate for larger cargo sizes, while the standard active torque vectoring technology improves grip and handling by dynamically altering the power provided to the wheels. A tow mode, which improves performance with cargo, is also available on certain trims.
