The brakes are also easy to control for consistent and smooth stops on the street. We recorded consistent stops from 60 mph in 123 feet, which is a bit shorter than average for the class. The brakes are strong and can bring the Telluride to a halt in a hurry. In Edmunds' testing, our Telluride test vehicle sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds, which is similar to the acceleration of the Honda Pilot and Hyundai Palisade.
Its V6 engine is responsive, though outright acceleration is ultimately average for a three-row SUV. How does the Telluride drive? The Telluride is a satisfying SUV to drive. Read our Telluride's 20,000-mile long-term test for more real-world impressions. Note that while we tested a 2020 Telluride, most of our observations also apply to the 2023 model. While many test vehicles show their weaknesses, the Telluride reinforced our admiration.

We added a 2020 Telluride SX V6 AWD to the Edmunds long-term test fleet, where we lived with the vehicle for a full year to get the full ownership experience. Check out our test team's Expert Rating below for a full report on the Telluride's comfort, utility and more. Other possible models to consider include the popular Honda Pilot, the Hyundai Palisade (it's related to the Telluride) and roomy Volkswagen Atlas. These changes only add to this SUV's appeal and help it continue to be an excellent choice for a three-row midsize SUV. Wrapping everything up is revised front and rear styling.
KIA MODELS AND PRICING DRIVER
There's also an upgraded Highway Drive Assist system that can make automatic lane changes if the driver taps the turn signal while the system is activated, once again standard on the SX and above. Kia has also updated some of the driver assistance systems on the Telluride, making intelligent speed warning (a system that alerts the driver to changing speed limits and slows the car if necessary) standard and offering a front collision avoidance system that works at intersections and can track oncoming traffic as an optional extra. The updated infotainment display comes standard, while the larger instrument panel display is limited to SX models and above. Additionally, the X-Pro adds a 110-volt power inverter in the cargo area and increases the Telluride's tow rating 500 pounds to a maximum of 5,500 pounds thanks to a more powerful electric fan for greater engine cooling.īeyond the two new trims, the rest of the Telluride lineup gets a new set of displays, one for the instrument panel and another for the infotainment display, both measuring 12.3 inches and lined up side by side atop an updated dashboard. The X-Pro's all-terrain tires are what gives it most of its added capability, and they are wrapped around 18-inch black-painted wheels. That improves approach and departure angles very slightly, but at least gets in the conversation with the similarly outdoorsy Subaru Ascent (8.7 inches). The lifted stance gives the Telluride X-Line about 8.4 inches of ground clearance, 0.4 inch more than the regular Telluride. It also gains some exterior styling tweaks that include a distinctive grille, body-color door handles, bridge-type roof rails and 20-inch wheels. The X-Line features a slightly higher ride height and a reworked traction control system to better help the Telluride make its way over rough terrain. The X-Line is offered on the EX, SX and SX Prestige, while the X-Pro is only offered on the SX and SX Prestige. Think of these more like option packages that can be added to a few of the existing trim levels to make them more rugged.
Kia is also making a few updates to the 2023 Telluride, most notably introducing two new subtrim levels to the Telluride lineup: the X-Line and the X-Pro.
