Slotting above the Sorento, the Kia Telluride saw minimal changes on its journey from concept to New York Fashion Week prototype to its Detroit auto show production debut. The Telluride will be the largest vehicle in Kia’s lineup, featuring seating for up to eight passengers.

Riding on the same platform as the recently revealed Hyundai Palisade, the 2020 Telluride will come with an Atkinson-cycle 3.8-liter V-6 good for 291 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive comes standard, and all-wheel drive with a lock feature and Snow mode is optional. The Telluride is rated to tow up to 5,000 pounds and will be available with a self-leveling rear suspension on the EX and SX grades.
