Unlike many rival three-row SUVs, the Telluride is only offered with a V-6 powertrain.

The Telluride's ride is on the firm side, with harsh pavement sometimes throwing the three-row SUV off its intended path.

However, the big Kia didn't feel as responsive to throttle inputs at lower speeds as did some of its turbocharged rivals. The top-of-the-line Telluride SX we tested sped to 60 mph in 7.1 seconds. Its engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that feeds the front wheels in the standard format-all-wheel drive is also optional across the board. Under the hood of every Telluride is a naturally aspirated V-6 that makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The tow package's hitch and self-leveling rear suspension are also a worthy addition in order to best utilize the ute's towing capability. We'd further enhance our Telluride with the SX Prestige package that brings a head-up display, heated and ventilated second-row seats, nappa leather upholstery, and more. Those who want the added sense of security that comes with all-wheel drive can have it for an extra $1900. It comes standard with flashy features, such as a 12-way power driver's seat, black-painted 20-inch rims, a Harman Kardon stereo, front and rear sunroofs, and second-row captain's chairs. The Telluride is such a great value that we'd even choose the top-of-the-line SX model.
