Overview

Written by automotive expert Ronald Montoya

Updated: 11/15/2021

The Kia Telluride has been Edmunds' top-rated SUV for two years in a row. This midsize three-row SUV seats up to eight and is the largest in Kia's lineup. Our experts have praised the Telluride for its smooth ride quality, luxury-like interior, and a third row that can comfortably accommodate adults. It also comes equipped with plenty of standard features and has the latest in safety technology.

For 2022, you'll see some minor differences in the badging on the Telluride. Kia redesigned its logo and the Telluride emblem on the rear features a different font and wider spacing. All models now come standard with a 10.25-inch screen display that includes navigation, plus automatic climate control.

There are plenty of capable midsize SUVs out there, and for those who want to do their due diligence, it can be worth taking the time to check out the Telluride's competition. The Hyundai Palisade is probably the closest match since it is mechanically similar to the Telluride. You might also consider the Honda Pilot and Volkswagen Atlas, but ultimately the 2022 Telluride is our favorite. Read our Expert Rating below to find out why.

What's it like to live with?

At Edmunds we tested a 2020 Telluride SX V6 AWD as part of our long-term test fleet. It's proved to be a comfortable, capable and dependable family hauler, and, if anything, our fondness for the Telluride has only grown after several thousand miles behind the wheel. Note that while we tested a 2020 Telluride, all of our observations also apply to the 2022 model. Read our Telluride's 20,000-mile long-term test to learn more about what it's like to own.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Great

8.4

out of 10

We drove the 2022 Kia Telluride on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

8/10

How does the Telluride drive? The Telluride is a satisfying SUV to drive. Its V6 engine is responsive, though outright acceleration is ultimately average for a three-row SUV. In Edmunds' testing, our Telluride test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds, which is similar to the acceleration of the Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade. The brakes are strong and can bring the Telluride to a halt in a hurry. They're also easy to control for consistent and smooth stops.

The steering is light at parking-lot speeds and weights up naturally in turns. The Telluride is stable when going around turns and doesn't exhibit excessive body roll. We also like that the engine's fuel-saving stop-start feature works smoothly and quietly.

Comfort

9/10

How comfortable is the Telluride? The Telluride is quite comfortable. The seats are supportive and nicely contoured, with almost pillow-like headrests. Outside noise barely makes it way inside, making for a luxury-car-quiet cabin even at freeway speeds. Engine noise is present, but it's never unpleasant or intrusive. For a three-row SUV, the Telluride is generally smooth-riding, although it can get a little rough over uneven pavement.

The climate control system is easy to use and properly regulates temperature in all three rows. While the seat heating and ventilation aren't the strongest on the market, it's nice to see them available for both first- and second-row passengers.

Interior

8.5/10

How’s the interior? The Telluride offers a very roomy and upscale-feeling cabin with easy access to all three rows. Passenger space is excellent in both the second and third rows. The space feels more open thanks in part to the abundance of large windows. Only front-passenger knee room is a little tight.

The controls are clearly labeled and grouped logically. However, the driver has to stretch to reach the infotainment screen. Visibility is excellent thanks to plenty of large windows. The camera systems and parking sensors are helpful extras.

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? All Tellurides come with numerous collision avoidance and mitigation systems as well as adaptive cruise control that operates down to a stop. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration also comes standard, and numerous USB ports are spread across all three rows, although only one can transmit data. The optional wider infotainment screen (EX and up) looks sharp, and it comes with navigation that offers several useful features.

Our SX test vehicle also had the head-up display and rear-seat intercom features — both are useful. The upgraded 10-speaker sound system is also excellent. The turn-signal camera display in the gauge cluster is less impressive. It's small, low-res and mostly redundant given the regular blind-spot monitoring system.

Storage

8/10

How’s the storage? Cargo space is generous, with 21 cubic feet behind the third row and 87 cubes with both rows folded down. The hatch opening is wide and accommodating, and there's a useful underfloor compartment too. With 5,000 pounds of max towing capacity, the Telluride matches class leaders.

Small-item storage is a weakness. While there are several options for organizing small items, there's much less space for small personal items than in some competitors. Got small children? Child safety seats fit easily, and the car seat anchors are easy to find.

Fuel Economy

7/10

How’s the fuel economy? The all-wheel-drive Telluride's EPA-estimated fuel economy is slightly below average at 21 combined (19 city/24 highway). On the plus side, our test Telluride achieved about 23 mpg on our 115-mile mixed driving evaluation route, indicating that the EPA's numbers are realistic. You can run the V6 on regular gas, unlike some rival SUVs that require premium gas to return their rated power and fuel economy numbers.

Value

8/10

Is the Telluride a good value? The Telluride might be the best value in the class for what you get. At every price point you just get a little bit extra, from the driving experience to the interior to the standard and available features. And in top trims you get a near-luxury experience. Overall, we are very impressed with the quality of the Telluride. You also get Kia's impressive 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty.

Wildcard

9/10

It seems like Kia went hard for a "baby Land Rover" feel, and it nailed it without the Telluride coming across as a knockoff. It's bargain luxury in a good way, and the Telluride's space, design and driving experience are a step above competitors.

Which Telluride trim does Edmunds recommend?

Most people will be happy with the base Telluride LX. It's a great value that includes plenty of standard features, including all the latest safety features and tech, such as automatic climate control and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration. If you're looking for more features, the EX model adds leather upholstery, ventilated front seats and a power liftgate yet remains relatively affordable.

2022 Kia Telluride SX 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

It was a nice vehicle until at about 3,000 miles the drive belt broke and caused the coolant and the oil to drain from the car as well as messing up the electronics and overheating the engine. The parts needed to repair the vehicle have not even been manufactured yet. Don't know when or if I will ever see the car again. After about 3 months I got the car back. Then the catalytic …

2022 Kia Telluride SX 4dr SUV AWD (3.8L 6cyl 8A)

I grew up with Toyota. But with inflated price tags we decided to look elsewhere. We discovered the new 2022 Kia Telluride SX online. Very impressed by the reviews we went for a test drive. Wow. Stunning vehicle inside and out thanks to the teaming up with BMW and Audi who designed the interior and exterior. We bought the dark grey SX with both the Prestige and Nightfall packages. WORTH. …

This is a updated review on my 2022 Kia Telluride SX. Here goes: It now has 31000 miles on it and it still runs, rides and looks like new. As you can tell by the mileage we love driving it everywhere. The ride quality is STILL superior, the Nappa Leather seats are as good as they get and the technology is still all in perfect working order without a flaw! Every time someone rides in it …

Kia Telluride vs. Hyundai Palisade

The Telluride and the Palisade are cousin cars. They have different styling but are nearly identical underneath the sheet metal. They share the same engine, transmission and optional all-wheel-drive system. Many of the technology features are similar as well. The Telluride, however, does have a slight edge in standard features since it has a larger touchscreen with navigation and dual-zone automatic climate control.

Kia Telluride vs. Honda Pilot

The Honda Pilot is a mainstay of the three-row midsize SUV class. The Pilot has the advantage when it comes to storage bins, pockets and cubbies for your personal items, while the Telluride counters with a few more standard features, a more luxurious cabin and a longer warranty. Otherwise these two SUVs are pretty evenly matched.

Kia Telluride vs. Volkswagen Atlas

The Atlas is worth considering if you're looking for maximum cargo capacity when the seats are folded down. It comes with two engine choices, but our reviewers weren't blown away by either. You can run the Telluride's V6 on regular gas, unlike the Atlas, which requires premium fuel to deliver its rated power and fuel economy numbers.

Safety

Our experts like the Telluride models:

Blind-Spot View Monitor: Displays a live-camera view, in the gauge cluster, of blind spots when the turn signal is activated.
Safe Exit Assist: Warns if a vehicle or bicyclist is approaching your parked car and locks the doors to prevent you from opening them into traffic.
Forward Collision Avoidance: Warns if a front collision is imminent and applies the brakes if the driver doesn't respond in time.
