Kia has just released the online configurator for
the 2020 Kia Telluride and it perfectly showcases just how many guises the
Telluride can be ordered in. Open up the configurator and you’re immediately given the choice
between the entry-level LX model, the mid-range S and EX versions, and the
range-topping SX. From there, the configurator allows you to select a range of
different paint scheme. Curiously, the configurator only shows images of the
Telluride SX, all lesser models feature a placeholder image.
Speaking of the Telluride SX, it can be painted in
Dark Moss, Snow White Pearl, Everlasting Silver, Gravity Grey, Black Copper,
and Ebony Black. Sadly, those looking to buy the SX don’t have any even
remotely colorful options to choose from. It’s a similar story with the
interior as there are only four different configurations offered for the
Telluride SX.
While the configurator itself is lacking some basic
functionality, it does show a series of the optional extras available for the
SUV. These include a US$ 155 cargo cover, US$ 210 carpeted floor mats, US$ 310 cross
bars on the room, US$ 310 illuminated scuff plates, and a US$ 450 interior light kit.
A tow hitch with harness can also be optioned for an entirely reasonable US$ 475.
The most expensive option for the Telluride SX is
the US$ 2000 Prestige Package. This pack includes Nappa leather, a premium
headliner, Head-Up Display, rain-sensing windshield wipers as well as heated
and ventilated second-row seats.
If you spec out a 2020 Telluride SX, you can get its
price up to US$ 50,775. Fortunately, there are many more affordable variants
offered including the entry-level LX which starts at just US$ 31,690. All 2020 Kia Telluride models
feature a 3.8-liter V6 engine delivering 291 hp and 355 Nm of
torque.
