We Like: Smart, Capable Powertrain
The Kia Telluride boasts a 3.8-litre V6 engine producing 291 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. It delivers adequate acceleration and better passing manoeuvres, aided by an eight-speed automatic transmission that operates seamlessly, just like the auto start-stop system. Towing capacity is the usual 5,000 pounds, but we must highlight the seven different drive modes that adjust the vehicle’s parameters to the terrain and traction requirements.
