The 2019 Detroit Auto Show just concluded, and Kia automakers made the most of the moment with the debut of the 2020 Kia Telluride. The three-row SUV will become a production vehicle starting next year.

Once the Kia Telluride hits our Kia dealership in Avenel, NJ, it will present consumers with a full-size SUV option. Families will appreciate its eight-person capacity and family-oriented technology. The exterior design is purposefully boxy, which pays homage to SUVs of the 90s and early 2000s.

Additional design characteristics of this new Kia SUV include projector headlights, vertical taillights, a tiger nose grille, and a broad bonnet. The interior is clad in luxury materials with its heavily padded and quilted leather and brushed metal trimming. Buyers have the option to add heating to the first- and second-row seats, while a built-in intercom system dubbed Driver Talk comes equipped, which enables the driver to communicate to the backseat occupants without having to shout over the traffic noise.

Of course, being a family vehicle, safety is a priority. Kia automakers are well aware of this and have incorporated Kia Drive Wise, which comprises a collection of the latest safety technology. This includes lane departure alert, automatic braking, and lane keeping assist, among many others. It also boasts the brand’s patented Safe Exist Assist, which can detect vehicles approaching from the rear and prevent the driver or the rear passenger from opening the door until the car has passed.

When it comes to capability, the Kia Telluride is designed to perform. It comes equipped with a 3.8-liter V6 that churns out 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. Whether smooth pavement or rough terrain, the Telluride can get you to your destination seamlessly. It offers an on-demand center-locking differential and available Snow Mode. To boot, it integrates four different drive modes to tune your ride’s performance: Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Smart.

The Kia Telluride isn’t available yet, but you can check out similar SUVs such as the 2019 Kia Sorento at our dealership as soon as today. Visit us at Sansone Kia for the latest models and the most up-to-date news in the industry!
