Has everything we were looking for with a 3rd row suv. Drives great, looks great, awesome warranty and tons of tech inside. Enough power under the hood to give it a go when needed! Love it!

Excellent car and a full range of safety features, including driver assist functions. Blind spot monitoring, lane assist rear view camera etc. The third row bench seat folds fully for added cargo space. Front seats can be heated. Navigation, satellite radio and UVO link are included. AWD is available and useful for snow days. Drive modes are available in comfort, sport or eco modes. Very smooth driving experience in Captain's chairs for driver and front passenger. Other versions offer such chairs in the second row as well.

We have been buying SUVs since the first Ford Explorer and the Telluride is the best yet. Attention to detail is fantastic and the quality of the inside is tops.

The Telluride is everything you want in a more affordable car. On the surface all the features are great. The transmission, however, is the absolute worst. I have only 50,000 miles on my 2021 and now it may need a 3rd transmission. The dealerships are full of Telly’s waiting on new transmissions because so many are breaking down they can’t keep up with demand. Now I’m considering trading it in for a Honda or Toyota because I think I’d rather reliability over luxury.

The inside was very nice and it sounded like a wonderful warranty but.. I was coming from a 6 cylinder Caddy XT5, smaller 2 row SUV. I guess I am spoiled but I need to know that when I punch the gas that the car will go, and get out of the way if needed.
Cross-Country 4 times and Towed Uhaul Trailer

Bought new in 2021 (EX AWD Nightfall) in Florida. I've driven it from Tampa to Seattle 4 times in 2 years. Once while towing a loaded mid-sized Uhaul trailer at about 3,500 lbs. I barely noticed it there, even going over many mountains. Engine never labored. I have had ZERO PROBLEMS with this vehicle. It's a powerhouse and bulletproof, as far as I'm concerned. I car-camp in it a couple times a year all over the country. It looks and smells new - very difficult to stain this thing! I could sell it right now, and it would look damn-near factory new and clean. I don't know about newer models, but this 2021 Telluride is great!

Bought 2021 telluride in June of ‘21. Had to pay ridiculous market rate adjustment of 5k over msrp but got exactly what I wanted. After 45,000 miles no problems. The only issue is fading of the plastic trim on the driver side doors. Drove all over southwest and Pacific Northwest in all weather conditions- desert heat, rain, blizzards etc. Car performed well and never disappointed. I read about reliability issues others had posted about and wonder. Hence the title of my review.

2021 Kia Telluride S 4dr SUV (3.8L 6cyl 8A)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful
Let me give a real honest review…. I have owned many SUV’s and this car lacks some of the other features Cadillac, Chevy and Ford have at this trim level. 1. No power lift gate or button to open lift gate from inside the of car. 2. It has a gas cap.. which I thought was pretty much obsolete. 3. The $220 mats barely cover the floor in the 3rd row. The mat is super small. 4. The steering wheel does not go high enough. I feel like I’m driving with it on my lap. I must say the inside is nice (I have white and gray and black interior which is pretty sharp. But the Palisade has a more upscale interior. The sport mode is awesome. The lane assist is a bit off in my opinion but it is a nice safety feature along with the front collision warning. I am not crazy about the body look (it looks half traverse and half explorer to me BUT it has a lot of windows which makes the interior look bigger. My advice - SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET THE NEXT TRIM LEVEL UP IF YOU BUY THIS CAR.

Down size transition from Mini Van

I am used to a minivan so I am adjusting. SX sport has nice smart features and road safety features like detecting over the line or another vehicle is close to you, it even braked for me when someone dodged in front of me. The storage for cups on the side is nile. barely a water bottle will fit. No arm rest in the front and the ones in the back are very short, which is uncomfortable for adult and extended trips. There is some space behind 3rd row when it is up with a covered compartment where emergency supplies might fit like a jumper and first-aid kit or some coats etc. The 3rd row lays down. It gives some space for more luggage when traveling. But not enough really for a family of more then 2/3 with any suitcases larger than carry-on size. So you need to be a minimalist. There is 2 sunroofs ! and a bunch of fun techy stuff in car.The forest green with brown interior is very nice. If you want to downsize from a minivan this car is good. But if you like more space I would stick with mini van or bigger SUV. Check for any recalls on these cars please. And if you want to buy one check around for prices. We got ripped off on our pricing at Carvana.
