2021 Kia Telluride Reviews: KBB

The Kia Telluride reviews from Kelley Blue Book aren’t just good, they’re glowing! In fact, KBB named the 2021 Telluride a “Kelley Blue Book Best Buy Award Winner.” They also referenced the fantastic Kia Telluride price as an “excellent value.” 

Among their favorite features in the Kia Telluride interior, KBB gave special mention to the following:

• Blind-Spot View Monitor: “This innovation takes blind-spot monitoring to the next level. Rather than just illuminating a light to warn of a vehicle in your blind spot, this displays a real-time video image in the instrument cluster from side-mounted cameras.”
• 10.25-inch Infotainment Screen: “This large TFT (thin-film transistor) touchscreen, standard on the EX and SX, is as useful as it is handsome in controlling features like the Telluride’s navigation system or Apple CarPlay.”

2021 Kia Telluride Reviews: Edmunds

We’ve touched on the Kia Telluride interior and the Kia Telluride price, and it’s clear that even the toughest reviewers are on board with both. But what about the overall ride quality when you’re traveling to Durham? In the Edmunds review section called “How does the Telluride drive?”, they gave it a solid 8.0/10 and said: “The steering is light at parking-lot speeds and weights up naturally in turns.

• 3.8L Lambda DOHC 24-valve V6 engine
