With enormous proportions, the boldly styled Telluride is Kia's biggest crossover. Although it's based on the Sorento, the 2020 Telluride is more interesting to look at, with nifty designs for its head- and taillights and a boxy, angular silhouette.

Excellent Style,
Cavernous interior,
loads of tech.

Intrusive adaptive cruise,
no upgraded engine option.
