Kia is filling its lineup with kia telluride turbo kit of all shapes and sizes, but the Telluride stands out for being a genuinely pleasant three-row family car. It has a spacious interior that can accommodate adults in all rows, a luxury-grade ride, and an easy-to-use infotainment system with plenty of functionality for the entire crew. The car also handles surprisingly well for such a large vehicle and has copious cargo room. Its safety tech is one of the better ones in this class, too, and its driving aids aren’t obtrusive.

Its biggest weakness is the 291-hp, 262-pound-feet V6 that sucks up fuel and provides only adequate acceleration. It’s smooth and refined, and the eight-speed automatic shifts easily, but it doesn’t shuffle gears briskly enough to make the Telluride feel quick on its feet or capable of highway passing. Two new off-road-themed trims, meanwhile, will help the mall crawler feel at home in dirt and snow with extra ground clearance and towing capacity.

Luckily, Kia’s made some improvements to the 2023 Telluride that should ease its shortcomings. The main change is a revamped, higher-resolution 12.3-inch infotainment screen that’s easier to use thanks to crisp graphics and good touch responsiveness. It’s a welcome upgrade, especially for families who use the screen to navigate through the SUV’s many features and functions. Kia’s also made some improvements to its audio system, including a Harman Kardon upgrade that adds depth and clarity to the base sound and comes standard with the top-tier trim.
