Pros & cons

Kia Telluride Nightfall Edition

Seats eight with a generous 627 L cargo area for family duties
V6 performance (291 hp, 355 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 8.0 s) supports confident highway passing
Signals emphasize reliability and safety—reassuring for daily family use
Good value in its segment at about 41,000 for an 8-seat V6
Not ideal for tight city driving or frequent parallel parking
Performance driving isn’t its focus; 0–100 km/h in 8.0 s is modest for enthusiasts
Combined consumption of 10.5 L/100 km can feel high with lots of stop‑and‑go
If you rarely need three rows, a smaller, more efficient vehicle may suit better
