Under the hood of every Telluride is a naturally aspirated V-6 that makes 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The tow package's hitch and self-leveling rear suspension are also a worthy addition in order to best utilize the ute's towing capability. We'd further enhance our Telluride with the SX Prestige package that brings a head-up display, heated and ventilated second-row seats, nappa leather upholstery, and more.

Those who want the added sense of security that comes with all-wheel drive can have it for an extra $1900. It comes standard with flashy features, such as a 12-way power driver's seat, black-painted 20-inch rims, a Harman Kardon stereo, front and rear sunroofs, and second-row captain's chairs.

The Telluride is such a great value that we'd even choose the top-of-the-line SX model. Plus, both models now come with semi-autonomous adaptive cruise control that even utilizes the navigation system to actively adjust the vehicle's speeding going into and out of corners. The SUV's bottom two trims also benefit from better standard features, including a 10.3-inch touchscreen (replacing the old 8.0-inch unit) and fully automatic temperature control. For 2022, Kia bestows its new-look logo on the Telluride, with the company's rebranded badge appearing prominently on its mildly restyled grille, rear liftgate, and steering wheel cover.
