A silvery-black housing that sinks into the centrally located wood trim keeps it from looking too tacked on.Įvery one of the Kia Telluride's seats is comfortable: front, second, and third-row included.

And while we typically aren't fans of iPad-esque infotainment system tacked onto the dash, the 10.3-inch touchscreen looks attractive here. There's some hard plastic, but most of it's below the knee. The exceptionally styled cabin mimics that of a luxury crossover with high-quality Nappa leather (a $2,000 option as part of the Prestige package), smooth wood-grain finishes, and aluminum knobs and buttons.

On the hood and tailgate, a “TELLURIDE” wordmark nearly extends the width of the vehicle a design feature typically reserved for trucks and classier crossovers. “tiger nose” grille and upright, rectangular headlights give the Telluride a strong gaze, and the slim hook-shaped LED taillights and silver faux running boards continue the tough theme at the rear. The Kia Telluride's butch, boxy look separates it from anything else in the class.
