Kia Telluride
When it comes to three-row midsize SUVs, the Telluride is one that boasts a number of dynamic and pragmatic skills, as well as an excellent reputation for safety. It shares many components with the Hyundai Palisade, but stands out with a boxier design. The more rugged-looking X-Line and X-Pro models are the stars in the lineup. Under the hood, the 3.8-litre V6 serves up 291 horsepower. A hybrid variant has yet to show up to fix the Telluride’s poor fuel economy.
