The 2022 Kia Telluride was recently named the Best 3-Row SUV for Families by U.S. News & World Report, marking the third consecutive year that this vehicle earned the title. An SUV that is perfectly fit for the urban daily drive, it easily won the title with its array of advanced safety features, outstanding interior capacity, and world-class stunning design.
U.S. News evaluated 96 vehicles based on automotive reviews, safety and reliability ratings, seating and cargo volume, and features that cater perfectly to family-friendly values. With 90 percent of Tellurides purchased by families, the well-equipped 3-row SUV continues to be popular with those looking for room for up to 8 passengers and a sophisticated ride.
Offering top-tier safety features, comfortable seating, and a large cargo hold, its impressive powertrain warranty provides assurance for the long haul. The Telluride won other awards, including the 2021 Best Buy and Best 3-Row Midsize SUV from Kelley Blue Book. The seats are class-leading and comfortable, Driver Talk becomes standard this year, and Quiet Mode shuts off the rear speakers while still allowing everyone up front to listen to their music or podcasts at a low volume.
The LX and EX models come with 18-inch alloy wheels, the S and SX trims have 20-inch wheels optional on the EX. The Nightfall Edition exterior cosmetics package is offered with all-wheel-drive versions of the EX and SX – adding a black finish to the grille, wheels, light bezels, roof rails, and badges. The Blind Spot View Monitor employs side cameras and displays their images in the instrument cluster, giving the driver a much greater degree of outward vision.
The Rear-Seat Alert feature notifies the driver if anyone is still situated in the rear at the end of a drive, and we guarantee that you’ll love the superior power of the 3.8-liter V6 which propels all 2022 Telluride models with an ideally-placed 291 horsepower. Each trim level boasts a 5,000-lb towing capacity, and one very satisfied reviewer from KBB.com proclaimed that “this car is so good looking and the ride is so smooth that it is the best model I have ever owned.”
