2024 KIA Telluride: Tried and True
Since its world debut back in 2019, the KIA Telluride has been one of, if not the most popular KIA SUV to date. Touted as the NACTOY Utility Vehicle of the Year, MotorTrend SUV of the Year, Kelley Blue Book's Best Buy, and Car and Driver 10Best, the KIA Telluride obviously has something special going on for it. I mean, just take a look around your daily commute, and chances are you'll see numerous Tellurides cruising by. Curious as to why? Great! Read on to learn more about the KIA's flagship SUV, and why you should consider it for traveling with your family this 2023 Thanksgiving!Impressive Performance and Fuel Efficiency
Paired to an eight-speed automatic, the KIA Telluride's naturally aspirated V6 makes a respectable 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Although this is the only engine option available for the Telluride, it's more than enough power to deliver your family (and turkeys) to your Thanksgiving gathering. Inclement weather and terrain? No problem. With optional all-wheel drive available, you can be confident in whichever environment you find yourself in (Why does Mom live in the wilderness of West Virginia? Jeez). Speaking of confidence, don't be afraid of running out of fuel in the middle of a desolate highway. The KIA Telluride boasts an 18.8-gallon fuel tank, and with its 20 mpg city/ 26 mpg highway (FWD) and 18 mpg city/ 24 mpg highway (AWD), will take you farther, with few stops in between for refueling.
Ample Space for the Family (and luggage!)
The Telluride is the biggest SUV KIA offers, and boy does it show. Boasting 21 cubic feet behind the 3rd row, 46 cubic feet behind the 2nd row, and a whopping 87 cubic feet of cargo volume with seats folded down, the Telluride can quite literally host a Thanksgiving dinner inside of itself! Offering 178.1 cubic feet of Passenger Volume, the Telluride provides ample moving room for all family members involved. Passengers can enjoy:

Additionally, the Telluride offers heated/ventilated seating and dual-zone automatic climate control, making sure no one is too stuffy or too cold.
