So, my friends, that is the 2024 Kia Telluride SX Prestige. In just about every single way, it’s a wonderful family crossover that provides a really compelling suite of tech and features at a price that won’t break the bank ($54,540 as tested, including destination).
Through my time with the car, it really proved to be an excellent vehicle that could handle just about every task thrown at it. There’s still just one problem though: the very fact that the minivan exists. A minivan can do 99 percent of what a Telluride can. Sure it’ll be a bit better off-road and you can tow more, but other than that, a minivan handily wins. A smarter person will buy a minivan in this situation.
However, I am not a smart person, and because of that, I would also go with something like the Telluride if I had a family of 2.4 nightmares and a wife who loved me.
Minivans are brilliant, but I like the Kia Telluride.
