2021 Telluride Design and Trim Levels
Kia’s design language is incredible. Moreover, the new Telluride offers boxy and head-turning design. The goal was to avoid the rounded design that most of the nowadays SUVs have. As we already wrote, the new model looks attractive and unique.
The front of this SUV is recognized thanks to the prominent grille and visually better headlights than before. The side profile is excellent with 18-inch rims. However, If you want big wheels, get the S or SX trim. These trims come with more significant and stylish 20-inch wheels.
SX features exclusive orange LED lighting around the stacked headlights, and we like its distinctive look. Depending on the trim level, the Telluride will be available in the following paint colors: Snow White Pearl, Everlasting Silver, Gravity Grey, Ebony Black, Black Copper (SX exclusive), Dark Moss (not on LX), and Sangria Red (not on SX).
Interior Features
Inside, the newest 2021 Kia Telluride will be modern and unique. With three rows of seats, this SUV offers a room for seven. However, you can still go and take full advantage of an eight-seat version as well. Moreover, choosing the version with eight-seats, it replaces the second-row captain’s chairs for a bench seat.
Kia offers four trims levels with the Telluride model LX, S, EX, and SX. Base one LX that is the least expensive, is well equipped. This trim offers an 8-inch touch-screen display, rear privacy glass, Sofino Leatherette upholstery, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto smartphone integration, along with Bluetooth connectivity. SX trim is the most expensive one and it includes a larger 10.25-inch touch-screen infotainment system display, 10-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system with digital music-restoration technology, surround-view camera system, a blind-spot monitoring system with collision-avoidance assist and so on.
Reliable V6 Engine Option
Under the hood, the latest edition 2021 Kia Telluride will keep the same engine as before. This model will continue to ride on a 3.8-liter V6 engine that is making 291 horsepower and 262 lb-ft of torque. This model will use a front-wheel-drive system as standard, while upper trim levels offer AWD setup.
Moreover, we must add that the manufacturer uses the same 8-speed automatic transmission as in the current one. This transmission is only gearbox choice available. Fuel tank size is 18.8 gallons, and thanks to that the Telluride model can travel between 394 and 432 miles. Generally, the new SUV offers numerous driving modes such as Eco, Normal, Sport, Smart, and Snow. So, depending on the condition you can choose what mode will be on. The Sport mode is one of the exciting.
