As we’re getting closer to the Telluride’s North
American market debut, Kia thought this would be a perfect time to release full
pricing and specs for its new SUV. All 2020 Kia Tellurides are
powered exclusively by a standard 3.8-liter V6 engine, good for 291 HP and 355 Nm of torque.
The entry-level spec is the LX, priced from US$ 31,690
MSRP. In return for your money, you get 18″ alloy wheels, LED positioning
lamps, Park Distance Warning-Reverse, 8-passenger seating with 2nd row bench,
leather-wrapped steering wheel, synthetic leather seating, one-touch 3rd row

What’s most impressive though are all the standard
safety systems installed onboard the Telluride. There’s Forward Collision
Avoidance Assist with Lane Keeping Assist, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and
Go, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist with Rear-Cross Traffic Collision
Avoidance Assist, Smart Key with Push-Button Start, Rear Occupant Alert and 2nd
Row Safe Exit Assist.
Next up in the range is the S spec, which is priced
from US$ 33,990 MSRP. On top of everything you get with the LX, this adds 20″
alloy machined finish wheels, roof rails, premium grille and exterior trim,
front power sunroof, 10-way power driver seat, heated front seats, 7-passenger
seating with 2nd row captain chairs and upgraded interior trims.
Then there’s the EX, from US$ 37,090 MSPR, which in

leather seat trim, sat-nav with a 10.25-inch display, 8-way power passenger
seat, 1st row ventilated seats, 8-passenger seating with 2nd row bench, Highway
Driving Assist, 2nd row side window sunshades and Smart Power Liftgate.
As for the flagship version, that would be the SX,

LED projector beam headlights and LED fog lights, dual sunroofs, 7-passenger
seating with 2nd row captain chairs, Harman/Kardon premium sound system,

leather seat trim, Premium headliner and trim, Head-up display, 2nd row heated
