2024 Kia Telluride // King of the 3-Row Family Crossover? // Full Review + Walk Through

The Kia Telluride has been flying off lots for the last few years, and it returns with a few new updates for the 2024 model year. The major refresh was last year for the 2023 model year. This 3-row is technically a mid-size, so it's on the smaller side, but the use of space makes it plenty usable for the family inside. Under the hood is a naturally-aspirated V6 that makes 291-hp and 262 lb-ft of torque. Power goes through an 8-speed automatic transmission, and goes through either the front wheels or all four wheels, depending on the trim and options. Let's take a look at why these things are so popular.

Want to know how the Telluride compares to the all-new Mazda CX-90? Stick around to find out!

It’s an outstanding vehicle worthy of the multi-year #1 rating it has achieved. Although it reminds you if your hands are not on the steering wheel, it is almost hand-free steering as it will self-steer around curves and keeps the vehicle centered in its lane. The heated/cooled front seats and heated steering wheel can be set to come on/off automatically and the temperature of them is adjusted based on the vehicle temperature setting and the ambient temperature. I wish it had wireless CarPlay. Wired CarPlay works only from the single USB-A port and not from the USB-C ports. I don’t understand why all the ports throughout, other than one in the console, are USB-C. I’ve had to buy several USB-C to Lightning and USB-C to USB-C cables for our phones when I already had plenty of similar cables with USB-A on one end that we use in our other vehicles.

Just got one. Wanted one for years. Traded in my 2019 Stinger GTS and have no regrets at all.

How does this compare to the Honda Pilot?

Great review. Wife and I are headed to look at one today. Kia definitely surprised me with this car. Also excited to see the EV 9.

Do the fobs recognize which driver it is and adjust the seat and mirrors to that driver memory?

No more subs for car features. No more subscriptions to use car features after you paid for them.

I wish reviewers would show up with a tape measure and give us full cargo measurements - NOT in Cublic Feet. How many Cubic Feet is this narrator? Does he know? Does ANY human know Their Cubic Measurements? We DO know our height. We DO know how long a sheet of plywood can be. This is a rotten introduction for this. Waste of time.
