Kia Telluride
Introduced four years ago, the Telluride has climbed all the way up to the top of the segment, passing more established rivals in the process. Good looks, a spacious interior and capable AWD system are some of the reasons why. There’s only one engine available, but it’s a powerful and flexible 3.8-litre V6 that puts out 291 horsepower. While the eight-speed transmission does its best to improve fuel economy, the Telluride cannot escape its weight of around two tons.
