The Kia Telluride is an incredible vehicle and has been since its 2019 debut. Now in 2021, it has received an upgrade: but is it worth buying?

5 Outstanding Features of the 2021 Kia Telluride
1. Powerful Engine
The Kia’s powerful engine is a force to be reckoned with. It’s large and capable, a 3.8-liter V6. It cuts through the air effortlessly with its 262 lb-ft of torque and 291 horsepower, accelerating quickly and performing well. On top of that, drivers report that it has fantastic fuel efficiency.
With automatic and manual transmission, you can get the best of both worlds when dealing with this beast of an engine.
2. Great Off-Roading Ability
When you’re done with the city streets and ready for a day in the wild, the Telluride can jump into four-wheel-drive mode to let you cut through the rougher terrain. On top of that, you can monitor the wheels’ performance from inside the SUV. If the interface detects issues such as slippage, you can alter the performance accordingly.
You can lock the four-wheel-drive mode so it doesn’t shut off in use, ensuring your safety, especially for long trips. Alongside this locking four-wheel-drive ability, there’s also a snow mode. You may not need to snow mode often depending on where you live, but it’s useful to have just in case.
3. Cargo Space
If you want to take lots of gear on that trip, feel free to. There’s plenty of space in this three-row SUV, which, unfortunately, a lot of similar vehicles don’t have. That puts it well ahead of the competition. With 21 cubic feet to fill up with all your gear, you’re almost certain not to run out of space.
For more space, you can fold away the third seating row and more than double your cargo space. If you’re going on a solo or couples; trip, the second row folds down too, almost doubling the space again so you’re up to 86 cubic feet of space.
4. Legroom
It’s not just the cargo area that’s spacious. There’s legroom in every row, fantastic for long journeys where your legs start cramping and you lack adequate blood circulation. Stretch out and flex. Here’s what you’ll get:
- Front row: 41.4 inches
- Second row: 42.4 inches
- Third row: 31.4 inches, great for kids
5. Remote Start
Have you ever wished to enter your vehicle and have it all warmed up and ready to go? You can with the Telluride. Grab your keys, click a button, and your SUV will be ready for you by the time you get out of the office or house. Not only does that give the engine time to warm up, but the climate control gets extra time to make your cabin cozy. Perfect for those harsh winter mornings where the cabin feels like an icebox.
