Seats eight with 513 L of cargo space for large families and road trips
Reliability and safety rank highly for confidence over the long haul
291 hp and 355 Nm enable confident highway merging and passing
$49,000 price positions it as good value in its segment for an 8-seat gasoline model

You expect very low fuel bills; 10.2 L/100 km combined can feel thirsty in city use
Tight urban parking and frequent stop-and-go dominate your driving
You prefer hybrid or electric efficiency; this is a gasoline-only setup

Kia Telluride EX

True 8-seat flexibility with a usable third row for carpools and growing families.
604 L of cargo capacity supports strollers, sports gear, and luggage.
Reliability and safety rank among its top strengths in our model signals.
Balanced power and efficiency (291 hp, 0-100 km/h in 8.0 s, 9.1 L/100 km) suit long trips.
Less at home in dense urban driving and tight parking.
Not aimed at performance driving; prioritizes comfort over sport.
